Really don't understand why all these kids want to go to Chelsea. They just look like a club hoarding talents without a clear plan what to do with them.

Life changing money, at this stage of their careers they don't have the luxury of turning such amount down.
Also their clubs will push them to accept it.
Would Estevao risk a big contract, to go on war with Palmeiras to get a worse financial offer? at the age of 17?
Nah. Take the money and run.

BREAKING NEWS: Xavi is going all in for Kimmich after his great perfomance in CL.
Catalan coach is obsessed woth Kimmich because he can play i midfield and on the right back!.

I think we should stop looking for players who can play various diff roles. We have a history of players becoming mediocre because of this reason, BOB, our midfield for the past 6 -7 years, the whole tiki-taka era of people trying to fit a false 9.
Can we focus on specialists in specific positions who can then grow into this team and the team around him, to be an amazing player for us for that position?

Ofc I understand that but I'm not sure if Chelsea is actually offering these kids as high wages as they could get somewhere else.

And from a pure sporting perspective there are surely clubs who could offer them clearer pathway to first team minutes. Chelsea will probably just loan them out for few years and then maybe few of these kids will be good enough to get a chance while others will be sold to midtable PL clubs.

Lucho apparently doesn't count on Ugarte. Won't happen with bad relations between both clubs but wouldn't mind him on loan.

Other than mentioning them in the whole Superleague saga, I don't think current board and PSG has any bad blood.
Laporta seems very interested in Qatari investments too.
I would take Ugarte on loan, he is solid defensively, although he us unplayable in Europe when teams press you.

Im fine with him as a squad signing provided it is not huge money, and knowing us it probably is.

Ndidi is a better player, but not really a pure DMC and Xavi wouldn't get the best out of him in all likelyhood anyways. Would probably see black, tall and either put him in DMC or take him home to his wife and go sit in the corner.
