So we can scratch Alaba and Havertz off the list.
reckon so
Dont think Alaba was every likely - he doesnt want to move and it was probably just lazy journalism linking Pep with an ex player of his
Harvetz - we dont have room for him. Lots of players in his position and that position isnt a priority esecially while Aguero/KDB/Foden/GJ are all around. We also have other priorities for the money - Centre half (possibly 2 of them) and a wide player (Probably Torres)
We still have FFP to content with as has every club and while the rules around that are being relaxed there wil still be limitations especially as income is down due to no crowds etc. It also has to be remembered Chelsea have had a transfer embargo for a year and therefore have extra cash to burn

Ottomendi? LOL
I see his name written like this so much, his name is Otamendi.
Di Michellis lilies this post.

Why do you persist in spelling Otamendi wrong, is it deliberate or do you struggle with letters?So at present its looking like:
Sane replaced by Torres - maybe not the same qualities but Torres could add a mixture of dimensions. Two footed so can go outside and inside- not as fast as Sane (but not slow either) but perhaps more technical.
Ake to replace Ottomendi - a definite improvement all around in every department
Koulibaly (possibly) - Replacing Kompany and/or Stones(depending on how you look at it) - huge shoes to fill but looks quality
Yan Couto (rightback) - is he going to replace Cancello or is he staying?
Steffan to replace Bravo?
Out:
Sane
Ottomendi
Bravo
Other Possible outs:
Stones
Zinchenko
Cancello
Id say that there is definte an improvement in quality in terms of Ake. Its hard to improve on Kompany but Koulibaly (if ew get him) is pretty damn close hopefully.
Steffan is a bit of an unknown as is Yan Couto but both are very young and have potential

Apologies, Blues - life and the kids finishing school getting in the way more than normal these days!
Ake is correct. Hope it can get done next week for £30m plus add-ons.
Everton are keen on re-signing Stones but Otamendi's people are quite prepared to run down their final year.
Something seriously big is being worked on and seemingly not Koulibaly, either.
I'm still hoping it could be Havertz but not heard any more on that front and all the reports stating Chelsea are willing to pay £90m.

can't we just lump Nico in a part-exchange, I'd even write off his remaining value and say to Valencia, £25-30m + Nico for Torres if he'd entertain going back.
As long as its not Sanchez [emoji23]Apologies, Blues - life and the kids finishing school getting in the way more than normal these days!

If it's not Havertz, there aren't many other big moves happening this summer.

Otamendi may not have a squad spot if we buy 2 centre backs.
On the something big Sam Lee mentioned Joao Felix who would be very expensive.

Seriously big? Is it transfer related or are we finally buying certain clubs that play in red (and burning down obviously)

Adebayo Akinfenwa is seriously big, surely we aren't going after him or maybe it's Luke Shaw

I can see it being Martinez rather than Sancho with Pep's previous comments about him.

so koulibaly isnt the big transfer or we arent now looking at him?

Havertz would have filled the same need as Torres but is possibly a step up. Very good player. Torres looks superb though, especially for 20

Seriously big? Could it be João Félix as Sam Lee was talking about in the podcast?
Hasn't been a success at Atletico, so far.....
Would they be willing to sell him after 1 season? And would we be willing to take that risk?
