Okay guys hope you’re ready for this (it’s all in the spirit of the crazy Rumours we used to have here back before) . Plus, the page isn’t really active today so thought I’d try and liven it up.

So I was on the Official Chelsea page and there was a quiz on Werner so I decided to take it. Basic trivia stuff but then.

One of the last questions pops up and it reads “Timo was the youngest player to reach 50 appearances in the Bundesliga but who has now overtaken him?! ”

The answer Havertz 👀. They go on to explain “the current Bayer Leverkusen youngster recently overtook our latest signing” (Warning; might be paraphrasing ) . They could have just said “The Bayer Leverkusen youngster or the young German midfielder”. Am I right?! (Say Im right. )

This is a hint it’s almost as clear as when a posters hair dresser whose brothers friend is cousin to a guy that knows a guy who has links, in other words I just more or less confirmed the signing. Rest easy lads it’s happening . 😎 No need to thank me.

Haha ELI I’ve just done that and think everyone’s saying the same mate. They’re definitely toying with us fans. Apparently we’ve been set a deadline to agree a deal before Leverkusen start pre season on the 28th so let’s hope it’s sorted already 🤞🏻 Think we start pre season on Friday but I’m more concerned there’s no new keeper here yet.

Havertz is a Chelsea player, he just hasn't been announced.

I would love to know who we will get for defence. My best guess:
Taglliafico + Rice.

WC28, Ed always warns us off paying too much attention with anything with a time scale on it, with regards to transfers.

As for our keeping problem, after Havertz I think the most important thing would be replacing Kepa and then a LB for me. I believe our centre backs can be coached and though I’d still like to see some one come in to solidify that position a GK and Lb are a most. We all know Alonso is top class in a back three but I don’t think that’s Lakps préfèred system.

I read somewhere that Marina and Cech want to keep Kepa, because it's hard to sell him with a good price at the moment. That's why they want to bring a cheaper GK to challenge him and also work on him more.

I think with our defending we have a DM problem. We need a good DM, that's why bringing Rice in would be a massive addition. He can cover CB and DM both.
A new LB will be added but the question is who? I Taglliafico is a better option. I was all for Chilwell, but I guess we have stepped away from that deal. He is just too expensive at the moment.

I don't think we need a DM, we have one of the best in the world, just need to keep him fit. Plus there are a couple to bleed into that position in Gilmour and Ampadu, who plays well there for Wales. Would love to see Rice come in a played at CB.

If we are going to get a cheap GK to challenge Kepa, I think Romero from Man U would be a great shout. He has always looked good whenever I've seen him play and has knowledge of the EPL.
