With recent comments from Koke confirming his desire to stay at Atletico, it looks like CFC will have to fish elsewhere for a top midfielder

Does everyone feel like we will get griezmann?

Yeah Stanman, I believe we'll get Griezmann as well. Koke does look less likely right now. Hope the club push for Andre Gomes.

I hope so Jackson, a lot of negative reports I don't know what to believe but hopefully we can get him. Would be a great player for Chels.
Andre Gomes would be good too, If not I think schiederlin would be good too.

Highly optimistic Jackson. The player himself has to have a desire to sign for Chelsea.And our club has to pay for that player if he wants to move to Chelsea.
Two years ago MUFC offered much more money to sign Bale and Fabregas, look where both of them ended up.
Koke wants to stay at A.Madrid and that's OK, that's what he wants.
Last summer Griezman decided to stay in Spain and that's OK as well.
We can't force anyone to join us.

Yeah Stanman i'm very hopeful we get Griezmann. Andre Gomes would be a really good alternative to Koke in my opinion. He looks a really dynamic, quality player.

I think we will sign Griezmann for sure. Not sure we need Koke. Jose has today said we will only be looking at a few to improve squad whereas man u, city and pool have to majorly buy to get anywhere near us.

I know it's optimistic, antibot. And I respect Koke for wanting to stay at his team, cudos to him. Yes the player has to want to join us, that's true. But perhaps Gomes could be persuaded. I think he looks an amazing player and I'd rather see him at Chelsea actually than Koke. Koke is a very good player but I've never been really amazed by him. Either player would be great though. I just hope one of them comes.

Like most have said, it seems to be more like when rather than if we get Griezmann, not getting ahead of myself but I really think we will get him.
As for Koke I think he really complements Fabregas and Matic he has a little of both player to in the sense that he is great defensively and has that killer pass, plus when it comes to set pieces he really does deliver, all in all Ed has said it would be difficult getting him and I think what he has said shouldn't be taking to, I think it's only normal for players to come out and say they want to stay.
