Summer Transfer Window 2020/21 - Rumours & Signings *please quote sources*

[Tombstone]

Thiago Silva signs for Chelsea. 5th new signing. Havertz still yet to come.

 

[SideWinder]

Chelsea are smashing it with their signings.

 

[Ayahuasca]

After watching his performances in the CL this season I think he's still got another year in him. That being said, it's probably to show their younger centre backs what a proper one should look like

Sam Greenwood

Born and bred a few mile from me that lad

Being reported that Wolves have accepted a £15m bid from Spurs for Matt Doherty. £15m definitely seems £5-10m short of what I'd have expected Wolves to demand. Mendes running Wolves and Mourinho at Spurs probably made the deal easier than it might have been though.

Seems even weirder that they're getting that dud from Arsenal to replace him. Bizarre

How do you come to the conclusion that he’s a dud?

He looked crap every time I saw him. Presumably why you are flogging him?

You obviously never watched the FA cup semi and final then

Everyone played out of their skin those games, don't think they're games you could really asses the player's consistency?

Sorry, couldn't resist digging this out from the arsenal thread

He has good patches, but overall, I don’t think he’s good enough. He doesn’t excel at any position, just a utility player really. He wants to play centre mid, and he’s just not good enough.

For what it's worth, it seems like a very strange bit of business by wolves if these 2 transfers go through.

Classic Rob. This happens so often that I wonder if there are multiple people using Rob's account.

 

[rebel rebel]

The Arsenal thread should be a safespace for Arsenal supporters!!

Thiago will be 36 when the league resumes. Anyone remember what happened to Rio at that age at QPR!?

He might have looked okay in the champions league but PSG had 4 months rest for that!

 

[The_One]

Willian was too old and past it when arsenal bought him

Now chelsea sign a pensioner

Werner is about the only player that strengthens Chelsea. Arguably they have lost a decent player in Willian and Kepa is still in goal.

Spain International Rodrigo signs and German International CB Koch following shortly. Exciting times.

You can’t have watched Ziyech much then? Also Chillwell is a lot better than Alonso.

He seems decent but is more of a replacement for Willian than strengthening the team. Chillwell is a bit like Maguire. Seems decent enough but not £50 million decent.

Yeah but regardless of the silly figure still an upgrade on what they have.

All these spends but I don’t think they have the right tactician in Lampard but time will tell. I’d be surprised if he’s there by the end of the season.
