Im not bothered about a swap for Skrinair. I’d be taking £40-£45m and going to get Van de Beek immediately. He’s desperate to come to the Premier League. If not him then Grealish.


Yes! If we can't replace Ndombele with a Sabitzer, Grealish, VDB, Stengs etc then I don't want to see him leave .. any period out of the team for an injury prone Lo Celso would leave us dreadfully short on quality.
 
Conte stays. I read that he doesn't like Skriniar but just checked this:

and he played 47 times and started most of the games I checked including recent games. o_O
He didn’t start their last few Europa matches and they’re signing a highly rated CB from

Still not completely sold on Van de Beek. He was brilliant in that CL run, but I’ve just got the feeling the Ajax system accentuated his strengths and he might not fare so well in another side. Could be wrong, but I think he also lacks a little burst of pace.
 
Messi throwing in the ultimate bluff?

If he leaves Barca he won't be calling the shots the same way he does currently. Sounds to me more like a demand "Invest properly in the team or I'm fucking off. Bring in players I like and want, and I'll stay"

45m wont get Grealish's hair. Never been truly sold on Van de Beek. I simply don't believe the Inter links either. Folk keep mentioning Kante then N'dombele as an alternative. Conte and N'dombele looks like an even worse match than Tanguy and Jose. Lazy journalists at work.
 
Skriniar has been dreadful this season.

But he doesn't suit a back three which Conte prefers.

If Inter want Kante, I could quite easily see Chelsea getting Skriniar in return - then they really would mean business.
This is much more likely to happen than some weird Ndombele trade. Chelsea would actually have a decent defense. They'll need a new DM, but Kante can't stay healthy it seems so I think Chelsea do this if they can.
 
Isn't Doherty the second best offensive fullback behind Trent over the last two years or something like that?

It's his defensive skills that can be called into question if anything.
His defensive numbers are bad but part of that is Wolves' system. He's probably a worse ball winner than Aurier but will likely make less mistakes and is far better going forward. He seems to be exactly what Mourinho wants in that RB position.
 


Only 15m gives me hope we actually sign 2 RBs

Anything around £15-18m makes sense because we are probably going to get around that for Aurier.

Still think there is a low % chance of signing another RB and Mourinho goes with the Gedson/Tanganga plan. I think a backup striker is greater priority than another RB, but that's not saying much.
