He won’t start over Wilson. Even when Wilson is injured, they’ll play Josh King up front.

If he starts banging goals in he will

Same deal as Chelsea, it’s all about making huge signings as it’s a status thing. Football narcissisits

Well i guess we are trying. RLC and Christensen both acamedy kids and both solid squad members looking to take that next step. Then theres the next gen of Mount, Tammy, James, CHO and Ampadu which are very exciting and if at least 2 aren't regular Chelsea players I'll be surprised.

Bayern want Hudson-odoi , when he barely plays for Chelsea.
They have all this elite youth talent who dont get game time.

Borderline saying Christensen is an academy kid.

It's a difficult one as the kids think they are ready for regular EPL football, but they aren't... so they get frustrated. I can understand why they are kept around (squad numbers due to being English/Welsh) but they need to be loaned out more.

cant blame him really. hope he can make a career out at madrid for himself, but it just feels unlikely at this point. but, if when they brought vazquez back from espanyol people said he'd make 150 appearances and have won the cl 3 times i'd have laughed.

So Bayern have bid 30mil for CHO, Chelsea holding out for 40mil.

Name me an 18 year old whos played more games than him this year at a top 6 club?

Not sure there'd be many. The club has got a big 6 months coming up though, they need to use him or they'll lose him. Sarri saying hes ready so i guess thats a start.

We wont sell him even for £40m.

 

[Zoom]

I’m convinced CHO stays

 

[Jatz]

Not too disappointed about this. We lost a little bit on him but was probably worth the gamble. Puel just doesn’t seem to be a fan for whatever reason.

 

[Memphis]

Possible morata to sevilla on loan for the rest of the season.
Good fit.

 

[chef]

Sounds like Zapppacosta is going to head to Lazio for £13m.

Cahill will be cut lose rather than loaned out and is off to Fulham.

Nice to hear we arent buying to replace and Ampadu is seen is the option for both these positions. Wont be surprise if hes the best of our younger players fighting for spots.

I doubt this'll happen, he's not leaving unless we can replace him and at this time of year thats pretty impossible.

 

[chef]

Sounds like we are chasing Paredes or Barella to replace Fab. I think Paredes would be the better choice as he'd be able to play the regista role where we need depth, Barella would be chasing Kantes spot.

Why not use a player you already have? RLC or someone like that?

I don't think we have a 'regista' type to use TBH, Fab was it. Ampadu has played that role for Wales a couple of times, but will be needed in the backline as backup CB/RB. I'd be happy to throw him in there too if it was me but I think he'll be used elsewhere.

RLC is injured and could be out for a couple of months with his back injury flaring up again, but he's suited to playing the more advanced position in the mid 3 like he has been playing all season(apart when he's a RW) and playing it well. He's really grabbed his chance and looks set for a long Chelsea career

Don't think Barkley could, Kovacic maybe and Kante no. Drinkwater will be gone this window and we won't recall Mount(he's more an 8 anyway). If it was me I'd sell Barkley and send Kovacic back at the end of the season anyway.

Will you buy to replace?

Doubt it

 

[Hamez]

Was about to post something similar. This tweet indicates he’ll be here until the summer.

 

[chef]

I'd be happy to keep him for another 6 months.
