Yeah, no significant news yet on Nkunku. Would be a huge setback.
On Mbappe, I'm not going to put any stock in it until he is holding up our blue kit. I wouldn't hate a one year loan to kick start out offense. He apparently is a huge fan of Nkunku.
We did sign a backup GK

Would be a great landing spot. Wondering if he would get a shot at Chelsea this year.
-
Swap deal sending Lukaku to Juventus for Vlahovic apparently in the works.
GK Sanchez targeted and Caicedo deal still in the works.

Make us a new one

First trophy of the season.

Another one out of the blue. No doubt secondary to Fofana's injury.
-
Rumors this was Brighton's plan if they sold us Caicedo. I don't believe it. Very quick and quiet business though.

26 minutes ago, The Dog said:I'd rather have seen him in the Championship or in the Netherlands. The Belgian league is totally "meh" outside of the top 4-5 teams.
Here's how it compares to MLS:
https://www.globalfootballrankings.com/compare?first=BelgianJupilerLeague&second=MajorLeagueSoccer
Both Horvath and Steffen had well over 100 caps before they were loaned to a Championship squad (Luton/Coventry). As well, they had both had previous experience in Europe. Steffen Bunde and Prem, Horvath Belgium and Norway.
Hell Pickford started out being loaned out to non-competitive European Leagues.
And yes, the Belgian League on a whole is comparable to MLS, but the top teams are leaps better than the top MLS squads.
It's definitely not a homerun, but certainly much less risky than sending him to a squad that might not start him.
Btw top of the Belgian League vs Championship

1 hour ago, The Dog said:Good landing spot for him, will get some experience at 19 in a decent European league against some strong Belgian squads. At 19, this is about as good as it gets for guaranteed playing time for a player with his experience. I imagine a couple more years of loans with slowly improving squads/leagues before he is ready for the Prem.

Expensive players aren't the answer. Since Roman left we've had zero identity or direction. It starts at the top and trickles down and currently the top is clueless.
Chelsea is basically the Yankees right now. There is zero direction - zero cohesion - zero passion. It's a massive brand struggling to put legitimate play on the pitch.
This is my PL club. I've made that decision. Whether Pulisic is on the roster or not. I'm all in.
The current squad is a fucking disaster no matter how much money is thrown at it. We're close to as big of an embarrassment as Tottenham despite spending three times as much.
Acting like someone like Caicedo is going to fix everything is ridiculous. The culture is shit.
I do believe in Pochettino. Maybe he'll knock some sense into the dipshit management group we've got going right now.
What do you think so far of the tactics in the preseason?
Have any of the players surprised you?
Any positions you feel we need more depth and/or experience?

So this is a player Chelsea was interested in but couldn't move on it secondary to a UK ban of completing transfers with Russia.
So maybe we are working an interesting loophole now that Boehly owning Strasbourg.

Guess it's just Enzo in the MF.

I mean if all of this is accurate, how does he say no.

Jackson is fun to watch.

Nkunku does it again. We look more interested and energetic. Need a defensive mf to slow down the movement. Santos looking alright but I dunno if he is ready yet.
