Looks like Sarr is off to Bologna on loan. I do hope we keep Ampedu as I'm a big fan, especially in DM, but I heard something about a PL loan for him, maybe Newcastle.

i hadn’t seen anything on Sarr. I would also like to keep Ampadu. I have seen a lot of reports saying that Newcastle want him on loan, but also reports that Tuchel wants to keep him in the squad.

if Zouma goes, we might be a bit short of CBs as we will probably have a lot of games this season.
 
It will only be a yellow kit purchase for me. Never a fan of urban camo.

 
Hope this won’t set back Chalobah’s progress.

I really think they will play different roles. Trev CB and Kounde Azpi’s replacement on the wb. The great thing is how interchangeable so many of them will be.
 
We generally play 3 CBs and when Zouma leaves we'll have 4 left. Adding Kounde doesn't seem like overload.

We’ll have 5, including Azpi and Chalobah. With Kounde that’ll be 6, which might impact Chalobah.
 
I think Azpi will just play wb this year unless injuries. In Tuchel’s presser he was asked about Trev playing midfield? He replied that he does not want to confuse a young player that has shown the quality Trev has. He wants him to learn everything at the CB position so he is very comfortable there. He was very clear with his response, like he has really put together how he wants to develop Trev and he is committed to it. I don’t think that means Trev starts all the time, but there is a thoughtful plan.

Why the feck would you spend big money on a career CB to play him as a wingback
 
I think Ampadu will go on loan tbh. Barkley and Drinkwater will end up somewhere aswell by next Tuesday. Bakayoko and Zappacosta meant to be off to italy this week.
 
Broja not even on the bench for Southampton. Rather he sit on our bench in my opinion. I would loaned him in championship side rather than pl.

Kounde has played as a WB but has never played in three CB defense. His skill set would be great at WB.

He played WB 5 times in his life, and was pretty poor in 4 of those. And it was WB in a back four, too

His skillset is that of a CB. His mobility is that of a CB. Not only is he not a WB, he's not at all fit to play WB

Never understand why clubs go all out to get a player on loan, then never play them.

If Southampton don’t play Broja much this season, refuse them any loans in the future.
 
I really dont see it honestly.
Manager is alright, Dimatteo also won the UCL and turned out crap. Tuchel's history before now has largely been average considering he was in charge of that PSG squad.

With regards to depth, how many genuine creative players are their in that team? I'm not really that convinced but we will have to wait and see.
I think Chelsea's squad is too good not to challenge for the title but then I thought that last season.

It's not just creative players in their team that matters, they have players who control the tempo from midfield.
 
The leap they have taken in less than a year is incredible.
 
If we can add Kounde, and there is talk of Saul on loan which i dont get at the moment.... the squad is set

They have a manager, which is far more important.
 
Only weak point I could see today was Kovacic and Jorginho losing some 50/50 battles in the middle of the pitch. They could do with some muscle.
 


Italian teams offer us a Tesco meal deal to loan our players while Chelsea can rid of guys like him on permanent deals. Watch the fee be something like €12 million.

Might change now. Ed’s gone. Possibly the worst transfer negotiator in the league.

One of the straight forward negotiator chelsea has in marina. Think arsenal negotiator publically lauded her about how easy to deal with her when auba Giroud batshuyayi negotiations came around.

Chelsea loaned bats to Dortmund auba signed from Dortmund by arsenal and Giroud signed for Chelsea.

He openly said without her involvement arsenal would never signed aubamyang. Many praised her including bayern rumminegge and Dortmund former chief.
 
As Utd won’t be wining the title. Rather have Chelsea win it than the other two.

Chelsea will challenge mate but doubt we will win. We will be without mendy during January due to afcon. Exactly that time city will pick up the pace. Need to have the head start during that time. Will see.Without mendy we are bit vulnerable in defense.
 
He's been superb for them. The transformation from Lampard to Tuchel has been pretty amazing. Really high quality coach.
