Tony Bloom said in his latest interview that we have bought a lot of players but not sold many and that will change. Perhaps it’s started.

All those talking of swap deals, I don't see too many happening in the modern game.
Also, If Chelsea are pissing around with low offers and claiming post covid prices, tell them they found the money for Werner and Havertz, they can find it for Dunk

And the current Chelsea defenders are who again?
Good point, although I'm not sure Dale "beer and a rolly" Stephens is captain material. Ryan is, I would agree and possibly Veltman. But Lallana is the one who jumps out as obvious.

Name me 6 top four CBS better statistically than Dunk.

Neither are Zouma or Christensen. Tomori may be one day, but isn't yet. Rudiger is borderline.
LOL
Are an outfit who conceded exactly the same amount of goals as us last season and who have just moved to playing 3 CBs

He's been deserving of joining a top 6 club for some time now. I'd love to see him play Champions League football and challenge for the title next season.
I just hope we get a fair price. With his age, I'd probably take £20m plus Tomori

Dunk is definitely off to Chelsea.
My SOURCE - front of the megastore window doesn’t have our club captain in the new home shirt.

Injury Liability
You can't take the chance on someone with such a recent injury as serious as he has had in the hope there won't be a re-occurence. Too much money involved for that.
Too many Clubs make that mistake thinking '' if only we could keep him fit, he would be a great player '' - only for the injury to be a long lasting one. And to be honest. Decent player though he is. He isn't the quickest out of the blocks
Are you having a giraffe?
We don't need Tomori and if Ake is worth 40 mill then Dunk is worth 50.

What will be will be. As long as we get our asking price (Whatever that is?), and invest it back into the squad, I'll be reasonably happy.

Not sure about Tomori, but spot on ref Zouma and Christensen. Watching the former pump endless long balls to no-one, or watching Christensen lose his man time and again - I can almost hear Chelsea fans' relief at the prospect of a CB who knows what he's doing. Add to that bunch Alonso, who gets caught up-field so often it's embarrassing. No wonder they conceded 54 goals in the league last season.
Would obviously prefer to keep hold of him but I wouldn't begrudge him moving there at all. It'd be his dream move, he would have a chance of winning trophies, playing European football and forcing his way back into the England fold. If that's what he wants to do and Chelsea are willing to pay the fee, good luck to him.

Won't take long for Chelsea to turn him into an England CB I'm sure. Potentially overnight.
Absolutely gutting if true, and for the first time I think it might be.

Another point: We may need the money! I read that we're at least £35m out of pocket thanks to the repayments to Sky/BT/overseas broadcasters, plus losing all the match day revenue for the last 5 games of the season. Tony's pockets can't keep getting deeper, surely?
