Ed you've mentioned finding a striker will be difficult for us, so dembele Werner maybe hard to get etc, would we look to aubameyang as his apparently not happy to stay at at arsenal?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - No, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyangadingdong (S/LW) wants a new start elsewhere but Arsenal have spoken to him and he says he will consider a new contract - but it is unlikely agreement will be reached over terms and there is nothing on the table that I am aware of. PSG may offer him a way out as a Cavani replacement but they are well stocked and game time would be limited. Napoli retain an interest in Aubameyangadingdong as a preferred option to replace Mertens or MIlik - but first they will try and get both to sign new contracts. Chelsea have zero interest.}

{Ed002's Note - Just to be clear, the club will not just buy for the sake of it.}

Do Chelsea have strong interest in Werner Ed or is he just waiting for Liverpool as we continually read?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I have no way of determining "strong" interest. Timo Werner (S) RBL know of the interest of Chelsea who consider TW as a suitable replacement for Giroud - but they have other options. Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid remain keen - but this could change quickly depending on other targets clubs have - equally if other clubs were not able to sign their targets, interest in TW might increase. Atletico signing Cavani would likely kill off their interest and they have financial issues. There is clearly interest from Klopp, but would Timo Werner be interested in a move to sit on the bench at Liverpool most of the time? If the answer is yes, or if Firmino is leaving then it makes sense and that may well be how it turns out. Many of the fans expect Klopp to numerous players without anyone leaving and then completely change tactics and rotate them - it makes zero sense and the club has to meet Home Grown quotas as well. Last summer there was an approach from PSG who wanted Werner as a Cavani replacement - in the end Cavani stayed and they took Icardi on loan. PSG were concerned about being shunned by Icardi and have looked again at TW but have not declared any interest - now they have signed Icardi but might move him on quickly - but I would discount them. Mr Mourinho is keen for Spurs to take him but there are concerns about the cost. The interest of Dortmund has gone with the signing of Haarland - but could return in the summer if Real Madrid could prise Haaland away. Bayern Munich were never going to do business in January and played down all transfer talk but there is no doubt that Robert Lewandowski, who will be 32 at the start of next season, is going to need replacing in the next 18 months - and the plan had always been that it would be Timo Werner - they could yet look to do something or perhaps suggest he waits another year at RBL who have offered a new contract. The player has always said he wants to play for Manchester United one day but a move last summer was not possible and then Werner said he wanted to play for Bayern Munich over all others. There was a third party trying to negotiate for a BM move last summer but they were a long way apart on price and RBL looked to extend. As BM were expected to need Werner this coming summer, a release clause was agreed with his new contract that would make him available at a low fee so RBL would keep him another year and then he could move to Bayern Munich this summer. Now after a potential illegal approach he clearly wants to join Liverpool regardless of game time - the riot act has been read to him over public statements and his club is very unhappy at Liverpool, but accept that he is going to go this summer.

There was a meeting between RBL and Inter Milan in London in mid February when Inter were in town to discuss transfers with Chelsea. Inter enquired after the availability of TW but were told by RBL that they were resigned to losing Werner as the player had his head turned by Liverpool – although Liverpool had yet to approach RBL at all.

RBL may look to keeping the player for a further year if Bayern Munich are not prepared to utilise the release clause just yet. Or perhaps Liverpool will do the honest thing and approach RBL with a very good offer to tempt them to sell - or maybe they will make a €35M offer and see what happens? Unlikely for Chelsea.}

Ed002 is there anything new on dembele? Does Ighalo extending his loan mean he won't be going man u? Thanks.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - No there is nothing new and there was no agreement on a move to Manchester United.}

If Chelsea isn’t getting Aubameyang; Lautaro Martinez preferring Barcelona (even though he will be too expensive) ; Michy Batshuayi leaving and Werner fancying Liverpool. if M. Dembele doesn’t drifts towards Manchester United, then we are down to Giroud, M. Dembele or Osimhen as one of our strikers for the season.

Sorry ed002 i meant that they won't go for him with ighalo extending.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - If that is what they have said.}

Ed002 reports in italy saying we are showing interest in chiesa and they told us they want only cash and no players involved, any truth or interest thanks.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea enquired last summer. It is fair to say they have told the two interested clubs now that they want €65M in cash for the player - but both want to include players in the deal.}

Inter and juve i guess, also any truth we want chukwueze as an alternative to sancho as he's cheaper.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I would not hold your breath.}

I wouldn’t want Chiesa personally we’ve got enough young talent in Pulisic and CHO. His stats aren’t great either.

Agree0 Disagree0

Talking of wants- my hierarchy of ‘want’ is in this order:
Kai Havertz > Sancho > Chukwueze > . I think if we can’ any of these three, we are better off sticking with Willian for another year.
