RTL France and Metro saying Seri is in advanced talks with the club*
Sarri would most likely go 433 but Blanc fancies himself more of a pragmatist. Can see him attempting to play three at the back and failing miserably for the first few months if he came in.
I've heard Seri's a bit of a mini-Kante with better passing ability. Which would bode well if we signed him, Bakayoko aside those industrious CM's usually do well for us
You could see Sarri making good use of him, sounds a lot like Allan.
Silly move by Barkley in all honesty.
Chelsea have too much quality for him to start and expectations too high to afford giving him the benefit of doubt in a run of games.
Out of that list it should be Seri, Kante and Mount with Cesc back in his 16/17 role.
What about Loftus Cheeks getting a proper chance in midfield?We need one great winger,one centre-forward and one centre back to complement our squad for the upcoming season.
Bakayoko isn't conducive to 'Sarri-ball'. Sidelined.
Not so sure Sarri will be the manager, Marina didnt want to pay his €8m release clause and now its expired lol
Please not Fabregas for another season!
I actually did this article on him, in April.

Supports your theory that negotiations are at an advanced stage.
TBH with the clubs recent record in the transfer windows, I don't have much confidence of him being any good!

Yep. He’s very good passer and good on the ball.
Mason Mount would be going on loan next season. RLC ? Not sure for now, but It will depends on the incoming manager. Cesc will be a squad player, he’s only a year left in his contract. Seri won’t be the only CM joining us, perhaps Barkley or Drinkwater will be either sold or loaned out to another PL if Sarri is appointed.

I seen a quote on Seri by one Xavi Hernandez...
" I'm not used to seeing such talent in midfield anymore, The short game, The long game, Tactical intelligence, Long range shooting, Personality, Organisation of the play... Madre mia! He would do something well at Barca.
He can play anywhere in the middle, he is fantastic. He has what they call Barca DNA, No doubt."
We need improvements that's for sure. Understatement of the year.
Bakayoko is just woeful, Fabregas is over the hill now and should play bit part. RLC and Mount still young so a regular partner for kante and rotation of the third option would be great.
Hard to know what system he’ll be in when we don’t have a manager. Read good things on him.
Both Sarri & Blanc play 433, This they play different variations of 433 with Blanc playing possession based pragmatic football where as Sarri is like Guardiola on that he starts the attacks from the keeper and defends from the front pressing high.
Seri will be a solid signing.

Its 433 ok go away and stop upsetting my 433 fetish.
Our midfield will be totalt overpowered with Seri and Kante. They are both lightweight.

You would say the same on paper with City's midfield.

It's a good formation if you have a star holding midfielder and a complete, modern day CF.
I never understood the Chelsea fans who were desperate to see it last season. Closest we have to those key players to run the system were Bakayoko & Morata

We don't have enough decent midfielders to play two in the middle!
We have Kante, as Ranieri once famously said that's akin to playing two in the middle
I'm surprised it took Conte till the final few games to break out 424. Was pretty much the only 4 man defense system we could run with this squad, particularly that midfield. Kante, Drinkwater & Bakayoko all won league titles playing in that system
