    We’d be puddled to! sell Ake!.Last season before we wimped out to a mid table finish all of a sudden our young prospects were being touted as ‘gold dust’ who had a definite future at Chelsea.A season and a EPL title later theses same youngsters are being viewed as expendable bench canon fodder we can kick to the kerb as surplus to our requirements now that we’ve landed back on our feet!.Absolute …kin rich!.How much will Sandro cost again?,remind me!

    mtal61 – I guess that each manager has his own opinion on players in general and bases his decisions on that

    I am an admirer of Ake and firmly believe he could make our first team squad and become a valuable player to the Club. I can only assume that Conte did not think so and I wonder if he simply recalled Ake as at times there were concerns over the fitness of Alonso last season but by and large he played

    Disappointing for sure but at the end of the day the manager in situ sees these players far more frequently than I/we do and therefore you assume he judgement is much more balanced…? KTBFFH

    Hugely hugely dissappinting if we offload Ake, did great at Bournemouth, excelled against Spurs, can play in defence, LWB and midfield, makes no sense whatsoever. Especially given both luiz and Cahill are over 30. I haven’t seen enough of Alex Sandro, but 60m for Brazils 3rd choice seems a bit exorbitant when we already have a ready made replacement with premier league experience and homegrown. Why are we signing Willy, why is Eduardo even there, was he even ever named on the subs bench.

    Sandro isnt 3rd choice at all. His position is a wing back not left back. He is more of a winger than defender. Hence theres no place in brazil for him. Hes one of if not the best wing back in the world…. but i cant see him leaving

    There is probably a valid reason why Chelsea are happy to let Ake go for £20m. We don’t know all of Conte’s transfer targets. We know Christensen has been given a chance to prove his worth during preseason.

    As long as there is a buy back clause, i don’t have an issue with Ake leaving, it’s not like he’s an amazing player. He’s good, but he’s not amazing.

    If rumours are true that we offloading the likes of Ake, Matic, loaning out Zouma and Tammy…we will definitely have signings in the pipeline. Conte is no mug. And there are funds to spend. Expecting some serious transfer movement next week. Wouldn’t surprise me to see 2-3 players signed up then.

    Youd hope so. I dont think so though. I think the only one close to been done is willy. Bakayoko fee agreed but personal terms are no where near done or a medical. I think we are doing it completely backwards and shipping out then starting to buy. Which could be catastrophic

    Phwepsi,

    We are selling Matic because we have already obtained Bakayoko. Chelsea are operating very discretely. July 1st Nike deal you watch.

    Far as i have seen and read bakayoko hasnt agreed wages or done a medical. It was claimed he was in london yesterday by papers yet his instagram last night was a picture of him in paris. Thats how far the papers have it wrong. Far from done imo

    Bakayoko is the nearest after “Free Willy” but its never done until the contract is signed.

    On Conte and Hazard improved contracts have seemingly been offered hopefully they will be signed soon when bith parties are back in the club.

    Bet we end up with van dijk at silly money
    Sandro won’t sign, he will just end up with an improved contract as did bonucci last season
    Seem to have developed a habit now of targeting unrealistic transfers.
    If money is not an issue then why not go and get Sanchez.

    We all need to come to terms with the fact that we are fishing in a very small pool with many of our competitors fishing in the same pool and even if we successfully get a bite unfortunately all three parties still have to agree which is never easy.

    Also top club like Juve for instance won’t give up their best players without a fight in the same way Chelsea wouldn’t let Hazard go to Madrid without a fight.

    Unfortunately there are very few players who can improve our team and if you want the best they are always the most difficult to acquire.

    Given who we are linked with the club are seemingly doing their best to buy the best available, better to try and fail than not to try at all.

    Id be happy with van dijk for 50. Still quite young. Far better than cahill and christiansen. Good going forward. Hope we have a backup wingback option after sandro signs his extension

    Yeah agree if we get van dijk for 50mil, but as Liverpool were already told to do one at that price it’s unlikely hence why it will get to silly money, ha, more sillier than 50mill.
    My 9, you will put positive spin on almost anything.

    Basically we need a centre back. Only him and koulibaly are even slightly available off the top of my head. Both will vastly improve our defence. Expect over 50 mill to improve our first 11 for any player

    Looks like zouma is wanting to stay and fight for a place after his quotes. Unless we push him on loan
