Ed002, are Valencia interested in Kepa?
{Ed002's Note - It is unimportant what is happening in that respect. He is part of the defence so there is no point explaining about any discussions.}
02 Jul 2020 22:28:39
Jaysis.
02 Jul 2020 23:05:03
Is he Brazilian, who does he play for?
02 Jul 2020 23:08:12
Lol J.

Don't like to believe reports but it's that Zouma is being offered around for sale, he's our best defender I hope it's not true 😕😕.
02 Jul 2020 15:23:28
Zouma has a couple of English club after him.
02 Jul 2020 16:03:48
I reckon that will be Spurs and Everton, if resorts are to believed we have Digne as back up to Chilwell and Digne is a far better player and Chilwell should be his alternative. If any Centre backs should leave it should be Rudiger and Christensen.
02 Jul 2020 16:44:55
I don't believe the Digne rumours click bait. Maybe in exchange for Zouma at best. No way are Chelsea paying the reported fees.
02 Jul 2020 22:29:45
Problem is no one wants to buy the other two.
03 Jul 2020 00:18:25
I still feel that Tomori is our best defender. Always liked AC too. Rudiger has been solid, but Rudiger needs competition and maybe David Alaba is the answer? Alaba can also play at LB. He is still a fast full back and he has tonnes of experience and we need that. Although Alaba prefers La Liga according to the newspapers. Kalidou Koulibaly always looked decent, leadership and steel, but the price is too high. Kalidou Koulibaly's consistency has also been a big question this season. We have the youngsters what we need is VDV or Kompany level at CB.
03 Jul 2020 08:48:36
Rudiger solid? What games you been watching pal he’s awful.
02 Jul 2020 10:31:22
Transfer plans made simple for the summer?
Sign Onana and sell Kepa
Sign a commanding centre back, (Giminez or skriniar) sell zouma
Sign Havertz, sell Jorginho and Barkley
Willian 2 year contract.
02 Jul 2020 11:03:45
If only it were that simple Standard. Rather sell Rudi than Zouma at this point to be honest.
02 Jul 2020 11:51:59
Jorginho not playing is interesting. I wonder what's happened?
Personally he should play in the no.6 role now. I'm starting to think Kante is better in the free no.8 role which is saying a lot about the other midfielders.
02 Jul 2020 11:54:46
Gimenez I agree with he’s a beast, I want Tagliafico as well though.
02 Jul 2020 13:40:14
Onana GK
Upamecano CB
Tagliafico or Telles LB.
02 Jul 2020 14:14:03
People say sign this player and sell that player like this is a video game.
I don't know if fans realise this, but these are actual human beings involved, not some bloody objects.
02 Jul 2020 14:22:55
Jorginho not playing will start lots of conspiracy theories.
I take your point Roman.
02 Jul 2020 14:32:41
Oh my goodness.
02 Jul 2020 15:11:09
Won't be able to sell Kepa unless we're Willing to take a massive loss on him and the board wouldn't do that. If he goes i see it being a loan for a season or two with an option to buy so we can get as much money back as possible. Oblak is the dream but Onana would be a very good 2nd choice. Gimenez would be great and is definitely the type of CB we need. It's a shame Zouma may be the one to be sold to make way for a CB since he's easily the best defensive CB we have.
Tagliafico is my 1st choice LB but since Zouma may be moved and i assume Everton may come in for him if he's available, maybe a swap deal involving Zouma and Digne? . Spurs seem to be the other team that may approach him in the summer so maybe another swap deal with Alderweireld? He'll definitely bring what we lack at the back. Already been said that teams will be looking to do more swap deals in the summer so it can definitely be a possibility.
02 Jul 2020 23:24:53
Mine is unrealistic to say the least.
But going pure football manager style I’d offer Kepa, Rudiger and Jorginho to Athletico Madrid and wipe some of their Morata money and in exchange ask for Oblak and Gimenez. I’d then buy Jamal Lewis at Norwich as I think he’s got bags of potential and in a good team he could take the next step up. Also take Havertz. Would love to see us go after Lautaro Martinez at Inter maybe one for next year though.
Outs:
Kepa, Zappacosta, Drinkwater, Bakayoko, baba Rahman, Jorghino, Kennedy, Barkley, Batshuayi and Abraham.
03 Jul 2020 06:58:35
Emerson or Alonso too.
03 Jul 2020 10:13:41
Roman, it says made simple lol. Obviously not many of these will happen.
02 Jul 2020 09:59:40
Watford an absolute must win if we want still to hope for top 4. Find myself thinking about the frailties of our defense as many of us did earlier in the season. New LB and 'leader' CM wanted for sure on last night's showing. We need play with passion and compete for every ball from kickoff this Saturday.
Would pick Mount for energy he brings in this respect, along with Kante and Kovacic in midfield. Willian Giroud and Pulisic up front. Back 4 a depressing topic, with lack of quality at disposal we seem to need back 5 to be more secure!, but think Dave and Christensen have to be two of them, and expect Toni R will still be other CH with orders to redeem himself.
LB a tough choice. If James had shown some form might have had him on the right and Dave as LB. Otherwise might start with Emerson this time as Alonso looked knackered last night and having played v Leicester.
03 Jul 2020 06:59:18
I think loftus cheek needs to play. I swear he’s the only one who actually moves into space.
02 Jul 2020 00:13:35
Can we get something clear. So much talk about getting a new keeper but who's going to buy the worlds most expensive keeper from us,
02 Jul 2020 05:10:29
That’s The issue; we took such a huge risk with Kepa and it didn’t pay off. I honestly don’t even see us get half of what we paid!
02 Jul 2020 05:34:23
The loan deal to Valencia seems a bit more realistic than a sale.
02 Jul 2020 05:57:14
It’s not just a goal keeper problem Matt.
Individual errors, a mental fragility, lack of leadership and poor organisation are bigger worries.
02 Jul 2020 06:19:57
Only an obligation to but and a years loan will get rid of that clown.
02 Jul 2020 06:20:05
Buy *.
02 Jul 2020 11:11:07
Kepa's amortisized value this summer is £53m - we need to sell for £53m to break even - this isn't going to happen. A loan move is the only possibility unless Chels are willing to make a loss (which is extremely doubtful) but then the problem of Kepa's high wage comes into play. The reported 2-year loan to Valencia would be ideal but who pays Kepa's wage?
02 Jul 2020 11:44:09
We will just have to except Kepa ain’t going anywhere.
02 Jul 2020 11:52:58
exactly. No one will touch Kepa's wage unless we pay some of it.
