It's Quiet - a new dawn

It has probably killed off Matic's Chelsea career (I am unsure whether City should take a gamble with him)
Dunno about Matic, he'll still get plenty of games with European football and the workrate Conte expects in central midfield. Fabregas is almost certainly a goner though. Can see Maureen and the rags funding Chelsea's entire spend :/

Costa will save them a few quid and will provide them with extra funds as well. Fabregas possibly (but not to rags imo if he did go) but with Hazard out until at least October he will stick around.

Is that confirmed with Hazard? That sounds like tendons, not just a fracture. Either way Willian will be taking that starting spot and with another centre mid available Fabregas will only get in when Conte wanted a 3-5-2, can't see him sticking around.

Bit of wishful thinking with Hazard (Chelsea did say it was approx 3 months) but they still need the cover with Fabregas. See what happens at the end of the transfer window.

Not seen enough of Bakayoko butt Matic is shit. I said at the time when he was regarded as the best in the league he was average, was made to look better than he is in a very defensive Mourinho team, Much like Herrera now who a lot of United fans genuinely think he's as good if not better than Kante...

Both Matic and Herrera are quality players in the right system.
 
10 days away from today feels like a decade. Transfer season drives me nuts. Ah well, at least we're aiming to conclude our business early this window.
And when you get to a week on Tuesday the timeline will be a further week on Friday and before you know it you have wasted the summer looking on here.

You and me both mate. At this point, it's easier to admit that we're suffering from a genuine addiction and there's no escaping it.

If those aren't the lyrics to Craig David's next single, I'll eat my wife's best hat.
 
Has anyone seen much of jean michael seri for Nice who plays in central midfield? Was just looking at his stats and they look mightily impressive. Seems to have a good passing range, has assisted a fair few as well, looks to have a good engine and dictates tempo from deep. Sounds exactly what pep wants.

I have barely seen him play so I just wondered if anyone else had could shed more light on him...
Yea he was one of the top OGC Nice prospects to avoid any lengthy injury this past season, seems to be on Barca's radar. He would be great in our side as well as an alternative to Fabinho in MF role.

Hmm Zin said we had put a marker down on a player for the DM role a couple of weeks ago, but that it wasn't anyone groundbreaking, and someone who we hadn't been linked with previously. I hoped at the time he meant Marcos Llorente, as he seems to be out of contract soon, but I think that would a very, very long shot. Could be this lad perhaps?

I would love that, Ligue 1 window just opened recently so clubs like Monaco and Nice are refilling their squads with new prospects while all their stars continue being linked to moves abroad.
