Good question, seemingly the perfect idea. No idea why we're trying to sell Tomori given his performances when he played. Maybe something else going on though no one knows what exactly.
I heard one rumour about Rennes wanting to buy Tomori, but I've not heard a single Chelsea source even hint at the possibility of us selling him. All the talk has been centered about sending him on loan, which would be good for him. Rennes finished 3rd last season. They'll play in the CL next season. Not a terrible destination for him to gain experience at the highest level.

You’re not serious...?
I am. Thiago Silva is a top tier defender and that's something that Chelsea were a shambles at last year. If they could sort that out, we will have a battle on our hands with them next year.

Hopefully you're correct and it's a loan, thought we might be able to give him quite a few minutes anyway though given insane fixture list this season.

It’s a terrible source I wouldn’t even waste energy thinking about it.

Thanks, I will stick with James, Lingard and Pereira. Atleast they have the " mentality "
Juventus want Pogba and as they don't have cash, they want to swap Pogba with their Deadwood.
0% chance of happening imo but at the moment they re in bed with Raiola, so you never know..

I don’t think he’s the right profile of signing for them at all personally and believe he is likely to be eaten alive in the PL, especially under Lampard’s stewardship where defenders are left exposed.

Wasn't supposed to have lots of potential then hasn't really done it at Juve? Makes you wonder if he cannot hack it on a bigger stage.
They pAid around 40 m euros for him. Now they are demanding the same amount when he has been out of the team

Just out of interest, how's Ramsey been this(last) season?

Worth a punt for a squad player?

Arsenal, United and Napoli should drop all interest and see if he needs 48 hours to think about it.

Too high risk with his injury issues and will want the type of wages he is currently getting at juventus on top of having to pay a transfer fee upwards of 20 plus million which is no way worth it and would be almost similar to repeating the same mistake we made with sanchez.

How are they managing that whole belly? Well that's their problem.
If I were United and they suggest that deal, I will make a cheeky bid for Dybala in exchange for Rojo and see how that feels.

What insolence!

We were calamitous at the back defending set pieces, crosses and corners. Also looked generally disorganized. An older, highly experienced CB should certainly help those things.

He'll 100% need to have the right sort of personell around him, though. Zouma is our quickest and most mobile CB so I'm going to guess he'll be Silva's primary partner should we sign him.

Plus, Kante missed literally 50% of the last season. Having him healthy would help a 36 year old defender. I don't see any downsides to this move. Stopgap until buying Rice or Upamecano next summer.

It’s obviously BS but those 3 are clearly far better than the 3 you mention.
I would consider only Ramsey but he is injury prone. Costa and Bernard - no thanks.

Will stick to what I have now.

They are still much better than our players - not suggesting I want either. Should be aiming far higher.

Three players from the same team, two of which would cost 40M each, none of which possess the quality required to be a Manchester United player. That report is too outlandish to not be BS.
Yep, they're trying to use us like we use Inter Milan.
