Chelsea have backed Lampard heavily.
Eh? They’re coming off the back of a transfer ban and have so far signed:
Ziyech £33m
Werner £45m
Chilwell £50m
And maybe Havertz?

Look at what united spent last summer and then in January to back Ole. I would say Lampard needs another 2 transfer windows to transform that team.

Those are all fantastic signings for Chelsea. We barely finished above them this year and they’ve now improved massively.

Meanwhile, what are we doing? Haggling for a generational talent over some money we could easily make back from a noodle sponsor.

Aren’t Chelsea going to sign a new goalkeeper? Otherwise i am not too concerned. Thiago Silva aren’t going to survive well in the Prem

Chelsea are much more efficient at shifting players in and out. We take ages and it s frustrating for managers - LVG and Mourinho both complained about it.

Very interested in who we are even targeting at keeper. But there will 100% be a new one.

Chelsea took ages to sign Chilwell. This wasn't a recent development; they were after him for the past 4 or so months. If they're starting to make moves, this must indicate that they're going to sell some players afterwards. Emerson's already been put up for sale; if they're advancing on Chilwell, it means that they might have found a buyer.

WTF are you on about! The Havertz story has been going on for 3-4 weeks and same with the Chilwell stuff.

Have you seen their transfers in the last few seasons? They've got like 3-4 LB, spent massively on Jorginho and I believe they paid Napoli to release Sarri. That's not even taking into account the other poor transfers. But yeah, let's just peddle this stupid argument that United are the only team who drag their feet.

@Nou_Camp99 is right, the transfer window does something to our fans.
You should learn how to read before spewing shite at me. I've not commented about the success rate of their transfers. Just the method at which they conduct them.. which is swift. Werner, Ziyech and by the looks of it Chilwell have all been conducted with minimum fuss.

Oblak or Pope perhaps?
Oblak's not for sale, and there are no indications that Chelsea will pay the release clause. There haven't been any links with Nick Pope. Regarding goalkeeping targets, the only players that Chelsea have been linked with were Marc-Andre Ter Stegen (now no longer possible) and Andre Onana.

You see it as minimum fuss because they don't get the coverage that United do. The Havertz transfer is filled with issues, but there have been little to no negative reports and reactions over it. They were also after Werner and Ziyech for a while, but both transfer stories haven't been front-page news.

Any time United get involved in transfers, it becomes front-page news. The Gabriel transfer saga is a great example of that.

Think you have to rid of Kepa first before signing a new one? Not sure who wants to take him now. Maybe a loan to a La Liga side. Can’t see us giving you Dean Henderson as seeing you are a direct top 3/4 rival

With regards to their defensive players (including goalkeeper), they must sell before they can buy. If people are wondering how they got Chilwell before announcing a sale, consider that Emerson has been for sale for a while; if they're moving ahead with Chilwell, then there's a buyer for Emerson.

Anyways, back to transfer news: Lazio centre back Bastos (who was a regular in their side) is being targeted by two Turkish clubs: Istanbul BB and Besiktas.

They also want to get rid of Jorginho who was a Juventus target when Sarri was there. Now Pirlo is not interested.

Oblak is impossible. Pope? Meh.

I honestly have no clue who we're legit interested in. Onana has been a name mentioned but if we really wanted him he's been available for months now and we haven't moved for him. I think it'll be someone out of the blue that we weren't expecting.

We already know about Higuain and Khedira, but apparently Fulham are chasing Mattia Perin (who's for sale). Also, there's nothing concrete in the rumours that Arsenal could be swapping Bellerin for Rugani.

The bolded part maybe so but I remember them closing on Ziyech right after positive reports came about how we're going after Sancho this summer. Werner was a lock in for Liverpool throughout the whole season, but Chelsea were swift and decisive in locking him down after realizing Liverpool didn't have the funds to do so. I'm well aware of the weight the United name carries during the transfer saga.

Pope is very good, so much better then Kepa.

Yeah, that's true; that's a separate matter when it comes to their transfers. I doubt that him staying would be a problem for Lampard, but him leaving would free up some more money to conduct more transfer activity.

Kasper Schmeichel maybe...?

The Ziyech transfer did strike like lightning when the transfer gained traction, but that was the only one that I could remember. Werner to Liverpool wasn't being reported on by the Liverpool-linked journalists (Joyce, Pearce, Reddy); rather, they were denying the stories. The rest of the media latched onto that story whilst ignoring Chelsea's activities.

Despite not having a head coach, Genoa are targeting players who can strengthen them. Two of them are Pedro Obiang from Sassuolo and Ebrima Colley from Atalanta.

They aren't spending that much money when you consider they haven't really bought anyone in the past 2 years (besides Kovacic) and have received about 150 - 200 million from Hazard, Morata and others. They are just very good at selling players.
?

They got Pulisic for 64 Millions, kepa for 80 millions and Jorginho for 57 millions.

Is he? I'll take your word for it as I haven't watched him closely. With the way Burnley play (super defensively) I wonder if his record is legit or not. How would he perform in a progressive, attacking team is the question.

Kepa n Jorginho was 2 summers ago not one. Pullisic was also 18 months ago but joined 6 months later.

That’s tough to say because he plays for Burnley. The modern way is to build from the back but am not sure that Lampard places that much emphasis on doing so.

Apart from that the rest of Pope’s fundamentals are really good IMO.

Translation:
Koulibaly will leave Napoli to join Manchester City, who have struck a deal. However, if Gabriel doesn't wait and decides to join Arsenal, here's a possible surprise: [Mykola] Matviyenko of Shakhtar. Negotiations [are] in progress.

Because we are stupid. For example James should be for sale and I am sure we could recoup a large amount of money. However we will wait forever until he loses all his value and try to sell him after he gets his testimonial with us in 2030.

I'm gonna keep a keen eye on him against Bayern. If their pace and power don't bother him he should be OK for a year in the PL
