And changes since the changes. Saw the other week Vivell's already out.

"Most exciting project in world football" - barely lasted six months

Not necessarily a bad thing, more control given to Stewart and Winstanley.

#Chelsea are pulling together a shortlist of transfer targets in order to bolster the midfield options. Moisés Caicedo remains a top target. They are interested in Roméo Lavia, with Tyler Adams, Edson Álvarez and Gabri Veiga also under consideration.

They are doing this now?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nah of course not, they're leaking it out to try to put pressure on Brighton is my guess

Considering nobody else appears to want the guy half as badly as we do, maybe Brighton need a reminder they don't actually hold all the cards

From Jorginho, Kante and Kovacic to Tyler Adams 🤦‍♀️

Angelo Gabriel was expected to be loaned to RC Strasbourg following his transfer to #Chelsea, but after impressing Mauricio Pochettino in pre-season, he could now stay and is viewed as part of the current plans.

Andrey Santos is set to stay at #Chelsea, while Cesare Casadei will be available to depart on loan.

Casadei to Strasbourg is being mentioned rather than Angel

Brighton are refusing to budge on their price-tag of £100M for #Chelsea target Moises Caicedo, which was made clear after a meeting took place between Brighton, Caicedo and his agents on Saturday.

Alongside Michael Olise (who’s in both City and Chelsea lists), Doku is one of the priority names being considered by Man City.

poor decision, hall is twice the player of cucarella and so much more versatile

Talks will remain ongoing between Juventus and #Chelsea in the coming days regarding Dusan Vlahovic and Romelu Lukaku. A compromise could be reached if Juventus receive €30-35M as part of the swap deal.

that would make us a massive joke,
this should be almost a straight swap, id argue that max £10m + lukaku and we would still be getting ripped off

We're Chelsea FC, we hold plenty of cards. And as mentioned above there are other midfield options for us. Clearly the likes of Winstanley and Stewart are fixated on Caicedo though as they see him as a must have, in the same way Enzo was seen as must have. Whether that's right or wrong is up for debate and time will tell how good Caicedo is.

Hall looks like he could've an invaluable squad player this season so no idea why we'd consider loaning him. Can only assume it could be because of the significantly reduced amount of games we have his season. But even then he'd still get plenty of game time you'd assume.

We do though, in my opinion. It seems Brighton want to sell him while his stock is high and nobody else seems to be interested at the prices we're being quoted.

They could just keep him but that comes with its own risks, perhaps the player is unsettled or runs their contract down or has a bad season and loses a load of value.

They will keep him and manage him.He might sulk for a month, but it won't last.

So positive about all other clubs but never us 🥲

Nah Brighton see we’re desperate to sign midfielders. They see our manager begging for reinforcements. They know we over pay for nearly every player. They just got to wait it out and we’ll end up paying whatever they want. They’ve mugged us of before and they’ll do it again.
