Goodevening Eds, Please just some questions:

1) Is it true that Real Madrid are looking to sell Mateo Kavacic?

2) Please does Chelsea have an interest in Mateo Kovacic? He is really good player.
Thanks for your response.

{Ed001's Note - no, but they are willing to sell. Conte was interested in him when he was at Juve, I would expect he still does have interest in him.}

Thanks again. He's a good midfielder and i think his profile will suit Chelsea quite well.

28 Aug 2017 19:11:52
Be perfect for Chelsea.

mateo kovacic or andre gomes - brown sugar.

28 Aug 2017 20:32:27
I'm not sure what that means 🤔.

28 Aug 2017 22:31:33
brown sugar means very good.

Never heard that term in my life. Also, Andre Gomes is probably the most overrated player in Europe.

28 Aug 2017 23:42:10
Hahaha. Sorry I used a term that makes sense to only me on a pubic website. Besides, yea one could argue that Andre Gomes is overrated cos he hasn't done well at Barcelona but imo that team doesn't suit him (and he is forced to play a position that doesn't suit him with little time and much pressure to adapt) . I think he has all the makings of a good Central or box to box midfielder.

Jeremie Boga loaned out to Birmingham, I guess that makes sense with ox coming in. But I would have liked to have seen Boga get a few chances this season. Hopefully Musonda stays.

Good player for the future. Its better he goes on loan for his own development. I don't see him picking a shirt in that Chelsea; atleast not for now.

Chelsea agree fee for Ox Chamberlain.

28 Aug 2017 16:34:47
Fee is around £35m plus.

28 Aug 2017 16:55:03
Yes good news. An athletic player Conte can improve.

Goodevening Eds;
The club seems to be serious about having an English core.

28 Aug 2017 17:47:33
His medical is quickly scheduled.

28 Aug 2017 19:46:59
24 years old can't go wrong always liked the ox. conte will make a player out of him.

28 Aug 2017 20:00:23
Although I'll support him if / when he arrives, I'd rather have let him go to Liverpool tbh or just waited and signed him for free next year.

28 Aug 2017 20:02:54
Medical quickly scheduled because of maybe fear for a Liverpool gate-crash.

Contes comments suggested that its entirely possible that Chelsea do not sign anymore players before the end of window. This is despite reports that we were looking to sign 2-3 more.

Would this indicate to you, that we have adapted a 'Drinkwater, Barkley and Ox or bust' attitude to the rest of the window? Well try to get them, but too bad if we don't?

Im in the Oxlade Chamberlain corner and really think Conte could do wonders with him. IM hoping that spanking by Liverpool can get things moving a bit.
