Looks like our interest is serious in Alisson to replace Courtois. Courtois is a quality keeper but I've had enough of hearing this and that about Madrid now it's boring. Don't think Alisson is as good in the air as T-Bo but he's brilliant with his feet and he does have great reflexes. Courtois has been very poor at his near post last couple of years. Alisson fits Sarri's style too.

Don't see the point in signing Rugani. He doesn't start for Juve even give Zouma a go or sell him and get a world class defender like Koulibaly in that way we would have Koulibaly, Christensen and Rudiger who would be quality.

Unsure on Golovin if it blocks Mount's path to the first team someone like Kovacic who is available and who's also a proper box to box midfielder too would be perfect in a 4-3-3. RLC, Kante and Kovacic would have a bit of everything.

As for the front three we desperately need a left footed right winger and Bailey should be our man he loves Chelsea and he would be perfect for us. Pedro and maybe Willian should go.

Morata looks like he wants to set the record straight and prove people wrong he has shown what he can do before the injury but his finishing worries me. Giroud is a solid back up and if Morata has no luck this year we've got to get a marquee centre forward in.

I just don’t see why courtois is hyped up, cech was a better keeper when at Chelsea. The thing that annoys me with courtois is I don’t believe he ever really wanted to play for Chelsea, which is understandable if he has family still in Spain. Allison would definitely be my choice, a keeper in today’s football has to be able to use his feet and give good distribution to team. Courtois is one of the worst I have seen with his feet and for someone so tall he doesn’t command is box as well as he should.
I’d personally like to see us sign Henderson from Liverpool, they have brought in Fabinho and Keita so he maybe available. A very underrated player for them and England. Would also love to see another paced attacking player like bailey. Regarding striker if morata goes then icardi would be the dream but I think belotti could do a good job and maybe in Chelsea’s price range.

Mate Henderson? Seriously?

NWBLUE, Money is simply the reason why he decided to come back to Chelsea in the first place. His present action now has been planed before now. My biggest annoyance too is letting Cech go for 'the guy (Courtois) ' that we all thought will stay 15years at Chelsea.

KingFrank i live in the north west and am a huge Chelsea fan but get to see a lot more if Liverpool live due to work etc. Henderson is the reason they play good and fast flowing football, he is massively underrated and has improved a lot under klopp who in turn has a similar style to our possible incoming manager sarri. Henderson would also allow Kante to be box to box, he also English and selling Barkley and Drinkwater would possibly get us close to the asking price. He’s certainly an improvement on those two.

I have watched William calvaho of sporting cp throughout the world cup, i'd bet he make a good compliment with kante.

Couldn’t agree more Oscar.
He looked a class act. I would love to know if there are any reasons why a top club hasn’t signed him?
