Olise to Munich done

Olise + Musiala - Chelsea link-up

No games today. Lame

By the way, is it just me, or does Dani Olmo look like Cole Palmer? They play in a similar way too - they’re not the fastest, but have fantastic trickery and movement and an eye for goal. I’d love us to go for Olmo for our left wing.

I thought the same

He's 26, too old for us

Sadly you’re probably right. We have also been linked with Karim Adeyemi who is 22, so probably more our style. He’s also good though, but understandably not quite as much a finished article as Olmo.

I do wonder though, why are we even going for wingers unless we are going to be unloading a few of our own. If we do sign a left winger, what are we going to do with Mudryk and Sterling, and if we sign a right winger what are we going to do with Madueke? And where does any of this leave Nkunku?

I think we're looking at bringing in 19 year old French winger Desire Doue

Moises Caicedo : (What are Chelsea fans like?)

looks like we are looking at 2 players per position who will actually add to the squad, no more of this daft 1 player and back up malarky

i am however unsure what we do with nkunku, hes going to be like a new signing depending on his positon

We don't have to do anything with Nkunku apart from hope he's actually fit to play this season.

Caicedo on physical preparations at Chelsea last season:

"Yes, with Pochettino he was strong, when I arrived at Chelsea it was difficult for me.

At Brighton it was all tactical, only with the ball; "tactical, tactical, tactical" and at Chelsea it was run, run and it was difficult for me.

With Chelsea I always ran a little more and with Brighton we almost always had the ball, with Chelsea it was a different kind of football and we had to run more."

If Clearlake had taken us over around 2018-20, we'd have bought him for sure.

Olmo, Tonali, Paqueta, Pongracic, Joveljic, etc... would've been the kindergarden class of the time

He did. He improved

Gallagher would be the perfect signing for Atletico. Simeone will love him. Would hate to see him at Spurs.

We’re still getting linked to the Atletico striker, might well be something in that if they’re keen on Gallagher.

With his contract running down we must be getting pretty eager to get something resembling reasonable value for him.

He was also MotM yesterday

What a win for Taylor Fritz today
