Press suggesting that we've made a 'firm offer' for Traore from Chelsea. Makes sense, had a good season at Ajax and is young, quick, tricky lad etc. Chelsea won't let Batshuayi go even if they do sign Rom.
Do we have any interest in any other Chelsea players?

can I ask why they won't let batshuayi go he won't want to play 3rd fiddle to Rom and Costa and rumours are he wants a move.

He was bought in by Conte so he must rate him. Costa will be off if Rom goes there so Batshuayi will be 2nd choice and plays alongside Rom for Belgium. Having said that, anything can happen in football - but I see Traore as a more realistic option.

Costa might not leave so Rom could be 3rd choice.

Can't see them paying 70 mill for a player then sitting him on the bench.

I agree shakey but Chelsea have a habit of buying players just so other clubs can't, so ya never know.

costa wants AM and they have a transfer ban regarding conte buying batshuayi he can't rate him that highly as even when costa was injured he preferred hazard up top.

Did conte actually sanction the batshuayi deal or was it someone else in the hierarchy?

not sure southerntoffee but I'm still confident we will be much stronger going into the season.

He would not have bought him if he didn't rate him. He got plenty of game time in the last few games and showed what he can do. Costa will likely follow the money to China whatever he says about AM. It's possible Costa could stay for one more season and Batshuayi go out on loan, but I doubt it. I think Bat will stay. Thoughts Ed?

{Ed025's Note - i think if rom goes to chelsea then costa will depart tadpole, he wont play second fiddle to lukaku and if they are paying what we expect then roms not going there to sit on the bench, im not confident of getting batshuayi as he loves the capital mate..

Think we're on the same page there Ed.
If even a couple of the many names flying about come off then it should be an exciting couple of months! COYB!

{Ed025's Note - it will be mate..

Michy B came out today and said he won't sit on the bench for another season at Chelsea Costa only wants to go back to Atletico as he doesn't want to go to china so I expect him to be involved in a swap dealfor Lukaku if they offer one.
