Gabriel to Chelsea likely.
Is uni brow reliable?Gabriel to Chelsea likely.
Raul and Edu out!Chelsea signing exciting players, we're linked with a 32 year old Willian and an badly over hyped Coutinho... next season can **** off already.
Sounding out if a player wants to join is about all any club can do right now when we don't know when next season will start and in what capacity.Probably bollocks but **** all else is happening.
possibly both? Sokratis and Mustafi out?Well its obvious that Arteta's priority is to sign a tall, ball playing LCB to partner Saliba. According to the rumours Gabriel was first choice and we approached them in January but they were unwilling to sell him then. We then got Mari as second choice on a loan with an option to buy and Mari did look decent in his two peformances.
I would have thought us signing Mari is a dead certainty but maybe our management really want Gabriel and are willing to pay over twice the amount it would take to get Mari?

Mari is cheap enough to be a backup / squad player.Well its obvious that Arteta's priority is to sign a tall, ball playing, left footed LCB to partner Saliba.

Gabriel, Partey and Edouard or Jovic on loan seem like the most likely candidates for the summer. Given the circumstances I think that would be a terrific window along with Mari, Saliba and Cedric.
