They need a whole new defence....the longer this goes on the more I think the agents of Bastoni and Bremer will sound out Chelsea.
According to Italian outlet La Stampa via Milan News (h/t Football.London), Chelsea are preparing their first official bid for the signing of Gleison Bremer
Hopefully we get some signings done this week and close up opportunities to get gazumped.
Could Chelsea steal our CB targets..

Somewhere in this thread........
" I see so many Central CBs that are of equal or better quality. ..."
Yup. You cannot get more central than that!

Of course they would.
The football pyramid is very simple. The teams at the top buy players as much to stop perceived rivals from getting them as improving themselves, and thereby closing the gap to themselves.
City have no real idea if Haarland will be the success everyone expects him to be in the PL, but City know if they had not bought him he would have almost certainly strengthened another team, thereby closing the gap to them and their world domination plans.
If you were Chelsea you would be thinking "ok, so we are currently well positioned comfortingly in the top three in the PL, so have a 1/3 chance of winning what's on offer. So who is our nearest up and coming threat ? well, as things stand and taking into account how last season finished, we think that is probably Spurs. So, easy, we just buy players that they want, thereby retaining the gap between them and us"
There is no point in going after players that, say, Palace are chasing ( all due respect to Palace ) as they are not their rivals.
Scupper your rivals to stay ahead = more money.

Kounde looks very good. Hoping the dembele rumours aren't true. I just have this feeling Chelsea new owner is gonna make a statement this summer, much as I hate to say it. They already have a quality squad that just needs some tweaking.

Why would you hate to say it as a Crawley Town fan - how would that effect you in any way?

Nothing wrong with that. Smaller clubs need support otherwise they wouldn’t survive

Thats why Roman bought Chelsea

Rusty wishes that Roman had bought Pompey, then he wouldn’t have had to be a turncoat

If they wanted the same player yeah i imagine most would pick Chelsea over Spurs. Conte might help sway it from the Italian league though?

Perhaps but I certainly do not think it’s as straight forward as it was a few years ago.
Spurs now have some of the best facilities in world football, a world class manager, champions league football and stability.
Whether they are ready to rival what chelsea pay in wages is yet to be seen
I certainly think a player has a harder choice than they once did and that is credit to spurs.

Well with the internationals finally faaacking off come Wednesday, I think we will start to see movement in the market.
Next weekend I suspect we will be close to signing our first CB

These internationals are so dull. If they really wanted to punish England fans they should have made them watch rather than ban them.
Pray for those school kids that were dragged to watch that sh 1t
