Ed002, have Chelsea given up on Saúl?

{Ed002's Note - Not as such - Chelsea will not provide the assurances the player wants as the club will simply not do that. So for now Saul has given up on Chelsea. As I explained - it is difficult to reach an agreement.}

Sounds like Saul wants a guarantee of play time similar to youth prospects as we’ve seen and the club has said no. Which is fair enough. If I was a higher up I’d never tie up my managers hands by telling who and when to play.

Fair play to chelsea for sticking to not promising any player playing time, game time needs to be earned, this does still leave us needing a midfielder though,

Hopefully we can instead look at trying to get Tchouameni in as he shares as an agent with Koundé.

If there are no last minutes competitors for Saul Niguez’s signature, I think he’s the one that Chelsea will sign this summer.
Strongly believe that Tchouameni should very much be a target for next season.

Can't imagine there hasn't been a "whilst were here" type conversation with the agent RJ28P. We've gone shopping, and come home with more than we bargained for - haven't we?

I'd just keep RLC around as one of the four midfielders, look to Tchouameni next summer.

A fit and focused RLC has previously played Kovacic out of the team, but fitness will always be the big question mark.

I agree J, I think we will probably have better options next summer.

I’d like to add another midfielder this summer sometimes waiting is costly. We can’t rely on RLC even when he is fit he only plays in spurts during a game and he is never going to be first choice unless of injuries to others: I don’t trust him as a reliable backup.

How quickly Gilmour and Gallagher are forgotten?

Never Studley.

Do you guys not think despite how good he is going forward that Mount could eventually be one of our midfield two in games where we’re probably going to dominate and have a Werner/ Ziyech/ Pulisic up next to Rom and Kai? I think Mount would be unreal in that box to box position.

Give up on Saul and get Rice done. Something we will heavily regret when united end up signing him next year.
