There is zero chance of Conte approving the sale of Kane. Zero chance.

If we sold Kane, we'd lose Conte too. There was also that rumour that Conte, after turning us down last summer, was impressed that Levy refused to sell to Shitty.

Hopefully both Kane & Conte will sign new contracts once our transfer business is done.

The downside of Bayern's interest is that it will drive up Kane's salary demands.

Also, I note the chavs are offering Sterling around £350k per wk, & the Super Soaraway sez Sadio Mane is on £17m pa at Bayern, which my calculator translates to £326k per wk.

Kane will surely regard this as his salary floor for any new contract.

Mane's Bayern Munich wages revealed with ex-Liverpool ace to earn £17.2m-a-year

Pervis Estupinan at Watford for a few years until they sold him to Villarreal two years ago. He couldn't get a game at Watford.

Barca securing Raphinha is a big blow to Chelsea.

I don’t believe Sterling is the same level as Son/Kane, while Ake is a big downgrade on Rudiger.

Great transfer window so far, we are possibly going to overtake Chelsea.

It's huge. Sterling/Havertz/Raphinha would've been a really good 3, but without that final piece they're still stuck with Ziyech (who hasn't adapted at all to England) and players like Odoi. I assume they'll try and find another RW but there's not that many options out there.

They'll do more business, can't see Ake being the only CB signing. But we've done really well to get ours done early for pre-season.

Chelsea’s biggest issue is Kante’s legs going. Last half of the season his legs weren’t the same, his type of all action game isn’t something you can sustain into your 30’s just look at Scott Parker.

Kante’s energy levels are like that of two men, he was never an elite footballer on the ball like Dembele or even his fellow team mates like Kovacic but my god his positional play and running are as good as any player I have seen watching football just incredible. That is coming to an end.

Kante’s decline and Rudiger fucking off massive weaken Chelsea.

As you've alluded to, I'm pretty sure Kante's legs are on the way out. Which is an omega level problem for them

I think for Chelsea to remain as strong as they were last season they need something like the below.

De Ligt
Lewandowski
milinkovic savic

Kante’s decline and Rudiger leaving is a brutal loss for them as well as the full backs wanting out as well. They need a big big summer.

That would make them far stronger than last season and push them up to title contenders. They didn't have Chilwell/James fit for a season last year & Kante was already on the wane. If they signed Lewa/De Ligt on top of Sterling they'd have a monstrous side.

Doubt they will get Lewa though. Not a huge fan of SMS, still think all their midfielders are better than him tbh.

Monstrous? No.

A very good one? Yes

On our level? No way - levels below us like the chav punks they are.
