Fuck that, don't we have like a £40m buy back clause? Bring him home!

Havertz is a perfectly fine player but do we really need him?

Havertz can slot in at a lot of different spots on the field which I guess is part of the thought process. It's still weird because the attacking half is not where you think of Chelsea having problems. As of now there hasn't been changes made to what they need to address though. And who knows, maybe signing Havertz leads to them selling a player or two and flipping that around into better defensive players.

I'm always apprehensive with young Bundesliga players coming to England where the players are typically bigger and the game a bit more physical.

I would much rather Ake come back to Stamford Bridge than let him go to Manchester.

[TCO]

He won't even be first choice at City. He's going to be Laporte's back-up.

It's a strange move for this stage of his career, he should really be playing every week.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Money talks. He'll make more sitting on City's bench than he ever would at Bournemouth.

Still think I'd rather have him back at Chelsea, always liked him.

[The Lusophone]

I'd take him at United - we're in need of a left footed centre back.

[gunnar hendershow]

He'll be part of the Man City League Cup battalion. Odd move for him but, yeah, the money I'm sure is good.

[Rafael]

I think Aké will be replacing Otamendi/Fernandinho as the starter alongside Laporte. He's young, has been around the british game for a while, possesses the ball-playing skills Guardiola likes and he can play better on the defensive end, given how bad this season was for Bournemouth as a whole.

You been at the Buckfast?

[METALMAN]

I haven’t had buckfast for about six years 😕. It’s too sweet for me now. It’s a kids drink.

We have signed ex-Rangers keeper Wes Foderingham on a free. Expected to be #2 next year if we can get Henderson back, or challenge for the starting job if we don't. 

Apparently we're also close to confirming John Swift for £3.5m from Reading. We're also after a striker and a centre-back.

Maybe Chelsea will address their goalkeeper situation after all.

[The Lusophone]

Unless they're willing to take a big loss on Kepa, no chance.

[Baddar]

With the uncertainty over DDG lately, there's no way we're selling Henderson to Chelsea. 

[DFF]

The only reasons I could see Man U selling Hendo would be 1. An astronomical bid or 2. That they can't guarantee him first team football and it is a demand for him staying?

Hendo is better than Grant, Romero and Perreira, and he is good enough to be the unquestioned number 1 at virtually any Prem club. I have a feeling Ole wants to continue loaning him out whilst ever De Gea is still around. That way, he isn't 'just sitting on the bench'. 

The real question is how long do they keep De Gea?

[RazorsEdge]

I have a feeling Henderson will be back at Sheffield United next season. He's too good to be our no. 2 goalkeeper, and too good to get rid of, and I don't think DDG is going anywhere yet.

[stokeriño]

What that article says to me is that Henderson has a competent agent who knows not to miss a chance to get some leverage on United.
