15 goals and 5 assists in last Liga, that literally all I know, seen stuff on YouTube but not enough o claim to know anything about him. Ed’s?

From what I have seen on him (Willian Jose) on youtube- he looks a fighter like D. Costa (can bully defenders), good with both feet, has good pace, good touch (good ball control), takes up good positions (can anticipate a pass), has a good shot and also good in the air. He is good player.

If he's that good, why haven't we gone in for him?

Is it the Summer of 2012 again? When are we signing Hulk?

Agree2 Disagree0

Ah the summer of 2012! What a summer it was celebrating being the CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE and signing the one and only Eden Hazard! Not a bad summer to be a Chelsea fan.

Simon Philips just confirms it that Chelsea is looking to bringing in one of Aaron Ramsey or Vecino.

Chelsea are closer to signing Aaron Ramsey than Vecino according to Calciomercato.

interesting ramsey might add something if he has kante an jorginho sitting behind him.

Sarri saying we need to fill one more position maybe. I'd say winger? But we were in for Rugani quite publicly so who knows.

I think if just 1 was to come in for me I would want a lb tbh right now I think Kennedy would have been a good option.

Might be more than one.

He was specific, "a midfielder with different characteristics" to what we have. I guess he wants a more mobile goal scoring attacking midfielder.

It has to be a GK surely, unless we intend letting Courtois run down his contract.

Agree2 Disagree0

04 Aug 2018 08:56:37
I expect the hold up on signing players right now is because we haven't sold the players who don't have a future with the club. For example, we can't sign anymore CMs whilst Drinkwater remains and in CB we're pretty stocked up too whilst Zouma and Cahill are still with us. I guess a RW is dependant on whether or not Willian leaves us.

I think that is spot on Saim. If we can’t shift players we can’t keep adding to wage bill, so the wait goes on.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Aug 2018 09:40:13
You are probably right Saim.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Aug 2018 09:49:55
I think Chelsea will definitely bring in the midfielder like Sarri said but others will depend on outgoings like you said Saim; maybe a goal keeper might come in if Courtois leaves, another deal that could happen is Martial for Willian.

Wouldn’t believe a word Sarri says about transfers. According to Simon Phillips, we still want Kasper, Butland or Pickford. Also want Vecini from Inter (but with vidal going to Barca, can’t see that happening) .

We’ve still players to move on also. Think we’ll know more after CS.

CFCAdam, so you know Simon Phillips? He's cream de la cream; I mean I know he can be trusted.

Agree0 Disagree1

He’s one of the better so called reporters mate. He only types what he hears or reads etc.

I understand why Courtois wants to go to Madrid to be with his family, but his agent pleading with Chelsea to let him go completely misses the point we need a quality replacement. There doesn't seem to be any great goalkeepers available. Perhaps a swap Navos for Courtois?
As a fan I was aware of this situation some time ago so difficult to understand why the club hasn't acted sooner. We could have had Pickford from Sunderland.

Because Courtais was at some stage keen on signing a new deal as Madrid wanted De gea. He’s lead Chelsea on, thinking they have a chance of renewing his contract. But really we didn’t have a chance and now the player wins in every situation. Leaves now, get his wish and a pay rise. Leaves in 12 months and can get a better signing on fee as it will be a free transfer. Win/ win is his eyes.

I won’t miss him truth be told. Never really taken to him.

Sooner we get rid, the better.
