Maybe we can use Lazio’s apparent interest in Pedro to talk about a swap plus cash for SMS? It’s fun to think about!

It's fine if we can get Pedro out for that rumoured sum (€25m) so that the club can look to bring in a younger winger/ midfielder (cos that position really needs a bit of revamping) cos its looking like we are so fascinated with centre backs.
I don't think Lazio would listen to the talk of using Pedro in SMS swap.

Linked to Rugani Higuain. 90m rejected for both apparently, pjanic linked, something to do with his agent trying to get a move, Vidal linked with us and Napoli with 12months on deal left, Donnarumma linked but may go PSG. William keen on Barcelona and Barcelona ready to offer dembele and money for hazard. round up of rumours.

A lot of the rumours are rubbish mate. We seem to be always linked to everyone lol.

I think Rugani is pretty much nailed on, terrific young defender, good sourceds behind this one. Golovin is another that may end up at Chelsea. I suspect the Higuain rumours have some legs but I see this one an an outside chance but may happen depending on fee.

For gk, we have a 3 man shortlist of Cech, Kasper and Donnarumma. The latter is my preferred and probably the easier option to obtain but I don't want Morata going the other way as part of any deal but I hear he wants out? .

Courtois sold when we have a replacement.
Hazard will not be sold.

As mentioned before don't know much about Donnarumma but for such a young man he's been around for a while and until a few years ago was spoken of as the next best GK so between those three he'd be my choice. I'd be slightly underwhelmed by the signing of Schmeichal, hope we can do better. As for Big Pete returning, obviously I would love to take a club LEGEND back from Arsenal, especially as he's not their number 1 anymore but only as a back up to whoever else we sign.

Hi Ed001, do you know whether the interest in HIGUAIN is genuine? Spending 50+ million on 31 year old seems to go against our policy of recent times.

{Ed001's Note - at the right price Chelsea are interested yes.}
