With the Covid 19 situation, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a swap deal with one of the two clubs you mentioned. He'd probably want Arsenal but I suspect Chelsea are better placed to offer someone we might take.

It will probably be considerably less, if at all.

I don't think Parish will listen to anything less than 50m if it's true that United will take a big chunk of change from any deal. However, I could see a situation where to please all parties the club took say 40/50 up front and then 20-30 in instalments or based on appearances, goals, etc.

When you consider that Chelsea have already paid a combined 93m euros on Werner and Ziyech and seemingly have plans to spend more, I wouldn't necessarily buy into the hype about COVID-19 restricting the spending of the big clubs. On the Chelsea front, with these signings the only way I could see them being interested in Wilf is if Willian were to leave, otherwise where would he fit in?

Just to argue with myself, I forgot to take into account Chelsea's transfer embargo and the fact they sold Hazard for over 100m and Morata for over 50m.

With regard to Fraser, the only way he comes to us is if we offer him a big contract north of 80k.

The only "Old duffer down the pub" is 'Moi'.

I think it was Jamie Carragher who said earlier in the year that Batshuayi doesn't impress him and that he has never been convinced about the player.

I believe Chelsea supporters have expressed the view that he is good when he doesn't have time to think about it but when he has time he messes it up.
