Chelsea Rumours Archive July 19 2017

For the 2 wide positions upfront we have only 3 specialists in willy, Pedro and harazrd (later will start the season injured) . Does the club have clear targets for this position as this could be a concern with European football?

Wonder what happened to the Bernardeschi rumours, looks like a perfect fit.

19 Jul 2017 23:11:27
He's off to Juve unfortunately.

19 Jul 2017 23:21:33
As far as I know, Musonda is staying with the first team squad this season. So with Hazard out for the beginning of the season, he's probably going to get plenty of chances to prove himself.

19 Jul 2017 23:24:46
Musonda, Moses.

19 Jul 2017 23:43:21
Musonda Jnr.

19 Jul 2017 23:43:51
I imagine Charly Musonda Jr will get a chance. I could also see Conte tinker a bit - possibly with the Wing Backs hence the Danilo / Sandro interest.

20 Jul 2017 08:45:25
Musonda will mend your broken heart. He is our salvation.

Chelsea Football Club and Real Madrid have agreed terms for the transfer of Alvaro Morata to Stamford Bridge.

The move is now subject to him agreeing personal terms and passing a medical.

Morata, 24, is a Spanish international forward, and helped Real to lift a second successive Champions League last season.

Not his biggest fan BUT his soon to be Chelsea player so my negativity stops, fully behind him,

19 Jul 2017 22:46:01
Matt seems like you wouldn't be happy till we splash say, 220 million on Neymar. Come on pal I think it's been a decent window thus far a right wingback and anothrr attacking player then I think we'd be good to go.

I have LOVED Matt Martin's Sad Sack commentary this summer! He even drew Ed002 back out for a little bit for a brief dressing down!

20 Jul 2017 14:07:36
Not like that at all, but when you step back or squads smaller, a leaders left a big characters left and I thought / think we needed to add numbers, not necessarily huge names and fee's, and yeah my sad sack commentary must be nice when you pop ya head out of the sand and turn blinkers off, do you think IMUCHLREFERBLUE it's been a good window? Ar you happy that we've hardly strengthened and got less senior players, and yeah it great let's give youth a chance until we miss out of trophies or too four god forbid.

we've signed rudiger bakayoko and morata and left terry go so far and ake and solanke, chalobah and traore none of who would get a game so what's the big panic?

20 Jul 2017 23:47:39
We had a small squad playing once a week. Now going to be playing more games, thick and fast, matic going costa going ake terry zouma, hazard will be fit soon but we have 3 wingers, we will need to rest and have good enough cover,

19 Jul 2017 18:37:25
Great news guys. Chelsea have officially confirmed that they have reached an agreement with Real Madrid, for the transfer of Alvaro Morata. Now all that's left is a medical and the personal terms.

19 Jul 2017 19:13:46
Good one.
Well done Chelsea. Miss Darren Wood, u must be Psychic.
Cheers guys.

Fantastic signing if and when it's done. Much like Lukaku, Morata was one which divided opinion a lot among Chelsea fans but personally i couldn't be happier with him. He's a player which has everything but just hasn't had the chance to start in a team. He's also one which Conte really wanted so I'll always back any player Conte is a fan of and wants to play in his team.

19 Jul 2017 19:00:23
I'll be ok when he signs.

19 Jul 2017 20:37:28
Sure he is now that Lukaku has come to a better club. you're all deluded and plastic.

19 Jul 2017 21:58:48
telegrath saying 58 mil which in todays market is actually decent how reliable they are though who knows and tbh who cares not my first choice but ill back him its all about the shirt.

19 Jul 2017 23:46:33
I just pray there isn't some kind of first refusal stipulation on Courtois or Hazard for next season.

20 Jul 2017 20:04:33
manx red, you won't be a better club when mourinho ruins next season or the season after.

19 Jul 2017 11:45:29
Hi all. I just wondered if any of the Eds could tell me if Chelsea were actively looking to Belotti as a first choice?

I know that Ed002 is not active on this page at the moment but if any of the very kind Eds could help it would be greatly appreciated.

{Ed018's Note - it sounds as if Morata might be the guy to come in}

19 Jul 2017 18:36:16
oh god i hope we sign someone else to i don't rate him at all i hope im wrong and ill happily eat humble pie if he's banging them in come start of season though.

19 Jul 2017 21:36:13
Thank you Ed018 for your reply. You are a gentleman and that is great news.

19 Jul 2017 12:52:56
De marzio and Romano both reporting that we are in advance talks to sign Morata.

Make of that what you will and don't shoot the messenger.

19 Jul 2017 15:05:05
I'd be delighted, let's hope so.
