Yeah, deadline 5pm on Aug 9.

read op bruh

Yep, talking ****e

Sorry I've stopped doing that since PartygirlUK re-entered SE.

All the Chelsea season ticket holders I know (20+) are more than happy with Courtois going. He whined before he got there and has been since he got there.

Apparently he slept w De Bruyne's gf while they were still together. One would think he slots into the club's culture perfectly

I never knew that JT was mentoring young Courtois

i believe there is a 15pts/season keeper available that chelsea could go for

It's not the length of your arms, it's how you use them

According to lolSky they're considering re-signing him. Schmeichel also an option.

That cant be true. I'd prefer Ospina over Cech tbh

Those chelsea fans who supposedly are happy to let courtois go for 35M probably are also happy to see hazard leave for 40M and extend bakayoko right?

Pretty sure they're trolling you

Not that bothered assuming we buy a half way decent replacement. We were supposed to be allegedly getting Allison but looks like plop might get there first.

He wants to go is the thing, so yea, whatevs dude.

Think we will keep Hazard.

Hazard is a double edges sword tho, obviously amazing when on form, but has long spells of inconsistency, where he is undropable.

Obviously you want him the team big time, but becoming reliant on him can backfire.

We must keep Kante.

35m for a gk who wants to gtfo and whose contract runs out in a year is pretty ***** good

Pretty sure there is some Plop in here somewhere

Ederson for 40m seems decent all of a sudden

Didn’t hazard basically confirm he wants to leave at the end of the World Cup in an interview? **** Chelsea. They don’t deserve kante either

Pool are running laps around everyone this window. ****ing up fekir seems suboptimal but if they land Allison it’s gg. Their supporters should be ecstatic with that they’re doing. They’re going to be a riot to watch

I realize fekirs knee may or may not be fully in tact but still seems quite good

Even though this probably would mean Ospina stays, it would be ace if we actually got Chelsea to pay to get Cech back. Maybe they could send Giroud back home. It could be like an exchange of captured spies during the Cold War.

Bayern looking to get rid of Thiago Vidal boateng and Bernat? Vidal would be pretty cool for like two years. Not sure how he’s looked as of recent

Football transfers is an imperfect market where there is no such thing as market value.
Liverpool have a tough negotiation spot because we have both the Coutinho money and Karius as our current goalkeeper.

lol

makes sense from a Chelsea perspective too imo
would much rather they keep Batsman as a reserve 9 than 1 year of old man Giroud
and Cech would be a much better backup keeper than Willy

With this signing you'll have spent almost a quarter of a billion in 2018. The Coutinho money is well gone.

last bit on Chelsea, for now

mostly fringe players that they could dump whatever cash they can get

Courtois obv the one important player who could force his way out now (if he's not looking to re-sign), in which case, whatever

the more important group, and 2 years left is getting to re-sign or sell mode

sounds like Sarri wants to try to win Hazard over, so maybe they'll try that for a bit, and if it doesn't work sell him in the winter, which might work given that he won't be CL-tied

maybe the same deal with Willian?

would be nice if they could at least re-sign Dave tho


every other important player signed longer term than that, so Sarri has time to work through that

Bonucci reportedly close, looks like Tuchel is serious about playing 3 at the back.

Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Bonucci. I mean why not

Have to admit to feeling quite conflicted as a Chelsea fan at the moment.

When Abro was singing Antonio Antonio after our title winning year, I really thought we were going to kick on, sign some quality players at key positions and create a team that was in full bastard legacy creation mode. But instead it was hai there Danny Drinkwater and Ross Barkley.

Just all feels like um, have I not seen this movie before this transfer season. The club had its chance to evolve, instead it devolved and now I have to get excited about its attempt just to get to the point where that evolution is possible again even though even if it does we wont.

Meh.

Its just that moment, as a club Chelsea have basically gone ultra mega ultra boom since Abro took over, its been all one way traffic to biggersvile. Now have to get used to a bit of heading in the opposite direction.

I know its pure spoilt, but its a bit jarring.
