Sky saying Chelsea have bid £40m for Anthony Gordon. Way over the top and dont see the need for him there.
Agree. Would have been perfect to bring on todayI think it's a shame we didn't push to get James Maddison, would allow us to play a different formation with just two up front, if a change was required.

Perisic and Udogie next season lovely jubbly.
Will be interesting to see what happens with Sess - I wouldn't expect him to get much game time with those two ahead of him.
I guess we'll assess how he does this year and then decide whether to persevere or move him on.
He put up great numbers in Serie A last season I think he is seen as first-team ready.Last chance saloon for Sessegnon this season, I feel.
Udogie is only 19 years old though. Conte may decide that sending him on loan to a Premier League team next season might be better use of him and keep Perisic and Sessegnon on again.

Once again, as been said by so many other people. CONTE DOESNT WANT HIM.I think it's a shame we didn't push to get James Maddison, would allow us to play a different formation with just two up front, if a change was required.
So in that case Pep is far inferior tactically than both Tuchel and Conte.It was Chelsea's tactics and Conte's inability to change it early on.
Chelsea were tactically perfect in that first half. Didn't let us to do anything on the ball or off the ball. We were lucky they only managed to go into the break at 1 up. But Conte really should have changed something in the first half to keep them guessing. And he certainly should have switched it up at half time instead of waiting mid way through the second half.
It wouldn't have mattered what players we had. Tuchel had Conte's number for 60 minutes. I said it in the match thread. We had the exact same players against the best team in the country and we not only outplayed them but beat them at their own ground last season.
Keep it up and Gianni Vio is going to be our signing of the season.
And the Koulibaly goal?Keep it up and Gianni Vio is going to be our signing of the season.
It might be worth paying over odds, with say £25m rising to £40m at 150games or such, given weakening them further would nourish our HG restrictions and enhance Allis likelihood to appear, which £10m chunks rely on!Gordon would be am alternate to Kulusevski for whom we currently have no real back up to give creativity/assists- Richarlison can cover Kane and Son positions as strikers/goalscoring. But if tyhat £42m is real, I can't see Gordon coming as he'd be way over priced
