Well, some good news.

Gianluca Scamacca fee agreed with WestHam, £30.5m plus add-ons. Personal terms still to be agreed. Would end #Broja interest.

Based on Tuchel’s preferences, in a 3-4-3 it would be a Mount-Havertz-Sterling attack. Even with James & Chilwell back, the creativity in that team is too limited. A system which has a 4 man attack & new creator suits the team more. Even Mount would thrive more as a goalscorer.

I want Memphis Depay to sign for #Chelsea

Can Havertz be a creator ? Don’t think so. He’s best as a box 9 who drifts out wide to create overloads. His top League Cup final performance epitomised this.He caused Matip & VVD issues drifting into those wide pockets.This type of play suits a 4 man attack much more than 3-4-3.

There were three silver linings from last night for #Chelsea:

1. Todd Boehly and Co. were in attendance to watch the team get slapped around the pitch for 90 minutes. They know what they have to do now.

2. It could have been worse (thanks, Edouard).

3. Koulibaly looked superb.

Levi Colwill ideally wants to remain at Chelsea, and he is not trying to force a permanent exit. Armando Broja is being a bit more bullish. More talks with the club will be held once #Chelsea return from America.

The difference between Raphinha and Jules Kounde deals is, Raphinha didn’t even talk to Chelsea whilst Kounde has had discussions with #Chelsea over a €9m gross salary.

Chelsea have jumped in, trying to hijack PSG's move for RB Leipzig's Nordi Mukiele, offering to include Timo Werner in the deal.

All of these players at #Chelsea are entering the final 12 months of their contract.

#Chelsea and Thomas Tuchel are targeting four more signings this summer.

Timo Werner could leave Chelsea this summer. Juventus remain interested in signing the striker, they like his profile. 🇩🇪 #CFC

Chelsea tried to include Werner in a swap-deal for de Ligt, but Juventus wanted more cash. #Juventus

Chelsea will reportedly now block Barcelona from signing Azpilicueta and Alonso, after the hijacking of Raphinha and Jules Kounde 😳

#CFC

🗣 The transfer window will be open for 3 weeks into the season. There’s going to be some panic buys late in the window and I really hope that #Chelsea don’t get caught up in it because we’re in that situation.

Chelsea have moved onto Inter Milan wing-back Denzel Dumfries after missing out on Jules Kounde.

Milan Skriniar, valued at £59m, is another defender interesting the Blues.

If Chelsea are interested in Harry Kane then Spurs fans should be worried he's about to be sold to Barcelona.

Chances created for Chelsea in PL:
11/12: Mata (102)
12/13: Mata (97)
13/14: Hazard (93)
14/15: Hazard (100) | Fabregas 95
16/17: Hazard (88)
17/18: Fabregas (91) | Hazard (84)
18/19: Hazard (98)

21/22 - Havertz (20) + Timo (9) + Ziyech (30) + Lukaku (21) + Pulisic (15) = 95

Mount 58. Reece 47. Alonso 44.

Xavi: Chelsea are interested in Wesley Fofana
Laporta: Tell the press we agreed personal terms in May
Xavi: Can we afford him?
Laporta: No, but I'll sell another another 15% of our
La Liga TV rights,
Xavi: Can you sell 20% and buy me Azpi & Alonso?
Laporta: Of course

Jules Kounde to Barcelona looking all but done.

Fear not #CFC fans, I have dug into the data for some potential alternatives at RCB, based on Kounde's profile.

Some interesting names in there👀

Benjamin Pavard is on Chelsea's list. The Frenchman is one of the names being discussed by the Blues. As of now, there are still no talks between Bayern and Chelsea. Pavard could be available on the market following the signing of Matthijs de Ligt [@FabrizioRomano]
