Reports that we're going to trigger Oblak's release clause. If there is any truth to this, he would be an upgrade on Courtois imo. Fantastic keeper!

I’d love that. Exceptional GK!

Spanish sources are linking Chelsea with Kepa A. of Athletico Bilbao (his release clause is said to be €80m) . Oblak deal looks very unlikely cos reports are saying he wants to stay and sign a new deal with Athletico Madrid.

No way will we spend the money required for those two . Butland at around £20m more our level these days.

Agree2 Disagree2

Butland will be our keeper.

Goal keeping position is one position that any ambitious club shouldn't have to pinch or mice money on (you gamble on it) . If the top goal keepers like Oblak, Kepa etc. can be available, PLEASE CHELSEA, SPEND THE MONEY NOW or we might regret it now and in future (ask Liverpool of their experience) . I don't support buying a half baked goal keeper. If we can't get the top goal keepers, I would rather prefer we use Baulka this season. I don't support we go for Butland.

According to reports in France we've made a late approach to sign Nabil Fekir. Apparently he's been left out of tomorrow's Lyon squad.

Not sure how I feel about that. He's a good player but I'm sure Liverpool pulled the plug on his £53m transfer due to worries about his right knee injuries.

EDs any truth to these rumuors or any interest in lewandowski?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - only thing I know is that Fekir wants to go to Liverpool, so I doubt Chelsea would show interest in a player that is not keen on joining. As for Lewandowski, he is looking for a payday, but Bayern are not looking to sell, so I doubt Chelsea are going to cough up the kind of money needed to bring him in at the age he is now. If he was not just chasing money, I could see it happening, but not when he is just after a big payday.}

be good to have a left footer on left side of a 3 man midfield.

Agree0 Disagree0

Rubbish apparently. The player is going nowhere this summer. My money is on Zaha with Loftus Cheek going to Palace on loan (premier league have this on their app already! )

Leon Bailey stating in an interview with Kicker that Chelsea and Liverpool are interested in him.
He tweeted an hour ago about having a torn ligament in his shoulder from their preseason camp in Austria. Maybe no deal this summer.

Several dailies like ESPN etc. reporting that Courtois has told Sarri that he wants to leave but Kristof Terreur of HLN claiming that there has been no meeting yet between Sarri and Courtois.
Don't know what to believe. Please lord let our best players stay on at the club.

Kristof is best for Belgium news.

I tend to agree with Sarri - only those players who are fully committed should be retained -, TBO ain't.

Alonso stated in an interview that he's been in touch with Hazard and Courtois- they will stay; offcourse Hazard will want to stay long term if Chelsea shows more ambition in the transfer (that's a dependable factor) but Courtois' long-term future isn't sure. The issue is who'll replace Courtois if decides to leave now that time is against us in the this transfer window? The only player that I can see is Schmeichel. Pickford will be too expensive, I don't even see Everton selling.
If eventually Courtois leaves, I would say we stick with Baulka or go all out for Schmeichel (though he has his calamity days, at least he did well at the World; maybe give him a good defense and you might see him flourish) .

if he does go i would like donnamurra or subasic.

Agree1 Disagree0

06 Aug 2018 19:05:56
Was thinking that myself. Why aren’t we going for an international number 1? Donnarumma, Subasic, etc. Don’t get me wrong Butland (if it is him) is a very good keeper. But nowhere near The world class level we need. But saying that, Bulka is a man mountain, saw him at wembley y’day and he’s MASSIVE. future number 1. I think so.

Ed’s. Is there any interest in us signing Danny’s Rose from Spurs? I think he would be a quality addition and could make the left back spot his own.

{Ed001's Note - no.}

06 Aug 2018 10:04:03
Damn. He’ll be an upgrade on Alonso and Emerson for sure.

Agree1 Disagree3

06 Aug 2018 10:46:51
I don't think so mate. I won't pick Danny Rose ahead of Alonso.

Agree1 Disagree2

06 Aug 2018 13:07:31
Rose over Alonso Anyday.

However Emerson needs a chance yet, he could be excellent.

Agree2 Disagree1

06 Aug 2018 13:38:03
Two good heads is obviously better than one. I will accept that Rose is better Alonso but my concern about Rose is that I feel surgeries/ injuries over time might have taken a toll on him; so going forward Alonso might be my choice.
