A few key issues to address:

- Pickford:

Is Courtois actually leaving? Why Sarri has to wait to speak to him face-to-face when there will be four days left or so, is beyond me.

Are Chelsea genuinely going to seriously make a play to get him and it is not just Sky Sports talking nonsense?

Dealing with Everton will be a pain in backside (Stones and Lukaku) . Are they open to a deal and will Chelsea offer enough?

When Chelsea want a player from them, there is outrage and threats of riots, yet when City and Utd took Stones and Lukaku, nothing.


-Rugani: Weeks of talk and talk and no
result. Will Chelsea get it done?
Juventus and Italian clubs' and Italian clubs' in general seem to be a pain (Sandro) . If the player and club have no desire to part, why have they had discussions with Chelsea? Alternatives should be considered (Marquinhos' agent seems to be talking to clubs' and Chelsea have a relationship there (Luiz, Oscar etc. )

-Higuain:
Seems to be a lot of hassle, again, for player who will not provide a long term solution. Do Chelsea want to get it done?

Plenty of alternatives', Werner (before Bayern hoover him up) might be one or get Willian sold to Utd and make sure Martial comes the other way ( the only way selling Willian to Utd makes sense) .

Hazard and Kante:

Are they staying or going? Have had enough of constant uncertainty.

I am just frustrated with the lack of progress. Jorginho is an outstanding
purchase and a crucial one, but he is not enough. Green is padding.

The last thing I want is for the club to recruit plan c options after speaking to Hazard, Courtois and whoever face-to-face. Players' like Schmeichel are simply not good enough to come in and replace Courtois.

I just hope answers' can be given.

The uncertainty and usual zero transparency from the club is grating as the window gets closer and closer to closing by the minute. Time is of the essence.

I agree with some of your comments. Courtoise is replaceable and either butland or smeichal are my choice. Through choice would never deal with Everton again. Courtoise has made his share of mistakes last season so I’m not crying about him going. Plus if you want to stay then you stay don’t moan and want silly money.
If we can get Rugani, the Brazilian who’s on a free and a striker I will be happy.
