Is it looking like Chelsea will have any deals sorted before the window opens (the 10th of June, right? )? I always like when we get deals done early, it really seems to signal intent.
Thanks.

Yeah signals intent and also helps if the manager can have a full preseason with the players, signing players after the league starts is tough on the players and is a tad desperate.

And chelsea seems to like delaying deals.

I just hope they listen to Conte's needs and not what someone else thinks is a 'good buy' like Cuadrado, Rahman, Saleh, Hector and Co.

Delays could be down to other teams/ players/ agents/ matches/ etc. Why does it mean Chelsea are delaying deals? Would make no sense.
Also, the Nike deal hasn't kicked in yet, so why would they want a new player to parade around in an Adidas shirt that we won't be wearing? All little things add up.

Much more concerned with the ideal player rather than the ideal timing.
