I would be speaking with Chelsea about Chalobah on a loan to buy, presuming that even if we did sign Guehi we would still need another RCB in a year or so.

They have confirmed his signing but haven’t been able to register him to play, so no idea how they afford Diaz.

Usually sell on fees are only on profit.

Do they have much money for transfers?

Chelsea apparently want rid of Sterling but can’t find a buyer due to his wages, which is why they are looking to sell Madueke instead. Pedro Neto is viewed as being better than both of them, which he is at the current points in their career, so someone has to go.

Zouma failed his medical in Saudi.

They can put through a loan fee this season, although they will have to cover his amortisation cost too, so might not be any real benefit to them other than getting the wages off the books.

Surely if they need to sell then they won’t loan him?

Chalobah is a decent right back too given Trippier won’t be here much longer.

I would be looking at those a level below Bruno and Gordon, players that we wouldn’t want to lose this summer ideally for one reason or another like Joelinton, Willock or Barnes. Saying that if Gordon doesn’t sign a new contract then we won’t have much choice other than to move him on.

Quite possibly, there are parts of his game that he is better than Gordon at and I like how tenacious he is when running with the ball, he tries to stay on his feet as much as possible.

Madueke has all of the attributes to be at Gordon’s level.

We don’t need £40 million this window to but £40 million worth of players this window.

You look at the players in the last year of their contracts that have no long term future at the club for starters.

BBC now saying he only has 2 years left on his contract. Why would we sign a young player for that much money and give them a 3.5 year contract.

you say no but then go on to say the opposite.

Would be a good signing for Villa. They can push Duran the other way then.

Is this the part where I name people and then you say nobody wants to buy them?

You don’t have to sell £35 million of players in one window to sign a £35 million player.

We can, we just need to start selling players if we expect to spend £100 million a season.

Gallagher is like Longstaff but an upgrade in every single area of his game, surprise we don’t go for him.

We can have a better season than last season in spite of this transfer window, not because of it.

Having no European football or having players back from injury has nothing to do with how good this transfer window has been. They are not the same thing.
