Ed, could we get a rough list of players being looked at or considered to sign for Chelsea? I see a few of the other 'top clubs' have got one recently and it would be something to discuss. I remember in previous years on my old login having a good list quite regularly and getting everybody discussing a little more.
Cheers.

Reading this morning that we are in advanced talks for Seri from Nice. also reading that we are in a three way battle with spurs and west ham for Rondon!

the latter i am hoping to be complete and under rubbish.

ah I did see both of those rumours. I think Seri must have some substance to it, a more trusty guy on twitter had mentioned it a while ago. it was twitter though haha.

rondon can foxtrot Oscar, useless and we have giroud for the big sub striker role!

Haighton87, what are your predicted incomings for the summer. roughly?

Honestly? . I don't have a clue and I find it extremely hard to predict anything when we haven't sorted out the managerial issue first (before the world cup) .

I just can't predict anything at the moment and for the first time, in a very long time - I'm very worried. I wish the Conte relationship could be salvaged as I think he is/ was brilliant for the club.

In terms of targets, we need improvements all over but I would like that to be a mixture of upgrading our youth and then a few top class names added where possible. I personally would love to see Asensio at Chelsea.

Being out of the Champions League will be our struggle in attracting players (i think) .

yeah the manager thing certainly makes it harder to predict or even decide who you want to come in, there is such a difference between sari/ blanc/ conte in regards to playing style. I must admit I enjoyed the first half of the last title winning season under conte however the second half, for me, was already showing signs of slower play and perhaps overworked players. after another year of what has turned into again, for me, the most defensive sytle of football I have seen from a top English club I actually find it quite unbearable to watch now. I think with Alonso and azpil as full backs and kante in front of def we should be able to have a 4-1-3-2 which allows all of the 3 and 2 to fully express themselves in attack without much defensive responsibilities BUT this will never happen under Conte. even when we play against Fleetwood in the cup.

Asensio is one of those players who is either going to kick on at real, move and do a jese/ bojan or do a casemiro (I think casemiro)

I expect lemar, lascelles and oblak to sign but I have no idea why I have those three ahead of any other rumours haha.
every season is interesting but this is definitely the biggest struggle we have had in a long time with NO optimism at all within the fan base from what I have seen.

Can’t understand the Lascelles, we have players in youth, and for £45 million is mad,

Haighton 87: The lack of Champions League will have a small impact but not all players can get in a CL team. We are in the Europa league, OK a secondary tournament but European competition all the same and Chelsea are a prestigious club BUT the key will be getting a manager that players want to work with first and foremost.

i disagree. the champions league is not the europa league and i genuinely believe we deserved to finish where we did, so unless we win the europa, we could find ourselves again without champions league football - we simply can't attract big names (in my opinion) when battling the likes of city, united, liverpool and sadly now spurs - unless we pay well over the odds, which the past fews seasons tell me this is something we are reluctant to do.

if that is the case, then please bring through the youth.
