I thought Zinchenko was decent? Certainly a better potential backup than Mendy anyways. Unless they're just giving up on ever being able to sell Mendy.

Another will end up being Telles, can see where this will end up going already.
Would be a very good signing for Spurs. Don't see the incentive for Chelsea to sell to them though.
He's fairly wank, in all honesty.

As if Slimani is still at Leicester 
Dear God he's still on the books at Leicester
Fair enough if you think that. I think he's quite a good CB, better than Christiansen and Tomori who seem to get games.
Fair enough mate. I think he's a shambles of a CB. His positional play is terrible and he's very erratic. I didn't really think he was rated highly. I suspect Chelsea are considering a move for Rice and the talk was that he will be reverted back to a CB if he moves there.

I think Rice would be a huge upgrade at CB, and thinking of it in that light, Christansen, Zouma and Tomori cost very little. You can recoup money for Rudiger eaiser than the rest.
Not a chance brighton let him go for 25m, never mind 15m
Three things are certain in life. Death, Taxes and Guardiola buying full backs every year.
He’s not getting in Chelsea’s squad now so it would be Mourinho doing his old
Club a favour
I hear they have some decent vintage models.Looks the sort of full back I want us to have!
People who said Lamptey is not a RB
It'd easily be quoted at 50 if United were in for him
After reading what the Brighton supporters had to say about him in "ask the opposition" I'd be surprised they'd let him go that cheaply. They should retain him for a year or two and then sell him to United for three times that price.
And our muppets would be complaining how Woody and Judge are incompetent to not get it done at €50m.It'd easily be quoted at 50 if United were in for him
If this report is to be believed, Bayern think even €25m is too much and we have mass muppet suicides going on since United fairly think €20m for Telles in this market is too much.
You think Woodward is doing a.... good job?
Aye, he would be easy enough to sell, I imagine. Can't comment much on Tomori - I don't know a whole lot about him - but he seems all hype and little substance. Christensen is a strange one; he looked fantastic during his two seasons with Gladbach and started well for Chelsea. But he's become a liability for them. I wonder if confidence is an issue with him as the talent looked to be there.
Not sure Rice would be a massive upgrade as he hasn't played CB consistently in years now and his form has been patchy since his break out season. He would also cost 70 to 80 million by the looks of it which seems as insane as what we blew on Maguire. Guess it's the 'English tax'. For what it's worth re the Rudiger to Spurs link; it looks like utter nonsense. I could see him moving back to the Bundesliga or Serie A, though.
And the Germans interested in (cheap) English talent
The partnership probably doesn't help with Christensen, he looks bereft of confidence.
You might be right with rice but, I think he's played there a couple of times under Moyes (certainly once I watched) and I really think he's looked great there and never looks fully comfortable in the DM position when I see him. I personally would prefer that, I wouldn't like to see Mourinho have a good transfer window - would be a real danger for us.
Rice has never in a million years been a DM. He was shoehorned into the role and he smacks of a CB playing the role rather than a natural DM.
He started out as a CB for West Ham and played there in his first season. It was actually Moyes who started the DM experiment with him. I think he's well below an elite level player and is very overrated. He's no better than Maguire who I feel would easily be the superior CB. I wouldn't mind Chelsea signing him at all as I don't really feel he would be any real upgrade. I do feel he's absolutely nailed on to move to them at some point.
Think this would a stupid move for both Brighton and Lamptey. His value is only going to increase and for Lamptey's development he'd be much better doing another year at Brighton.
Preaching to the choir on the first point.
Yeah I remember when Bilic gave him a debut very early in the season and was at CB. I think he's no better than Maguire right now, but I think he has a much higher ceiling at CB that Maguire, just based on his physicality. I hope Chelsea spunk that sort of cash on him though, it does seem inevitable.
Ah Jesus, Can we at least put a bid of €20m in? I know we have wan Bissaka but lamptey for that price would be great.
It’s all a question of money. If a club offers £1bn for Sancho, they would obviously get him regardless of what Reus promises his players or what their board have said previously.

Jovic on loan would be great business
Sure hope so, Ighalo looked cooked against Luton.
Wouldn't mind either of those.
Either of those are better options than we have. I'd worry about being stuck with Cavani on high wages though.
A 1 year deal would be fine.
Would take both.

Good to see the reports about United paying some of his wages were false
We do need a striker, Ighalo isn't good enough and is leaving at Christmas
This has got to be rubbish or proves we have absolutely no idea what we are doing in the transfer window and now panic buying.
