That's the whole point of negotiations. Just because the market is broken it does not mean we should get bullied by other club's into spending crazy amounts. If Alderweireld was around 26 I highly doubt the club would shy away from spending big on him, van dijk type money. But as it stands he is 29 and is also gonna be worth 25m, I am sure they are trying to get a reasonable fee for him

He is not though is he. Theoretically yes, all of those mentioned can play on the right.
Sanchez isn't played there though. For whatever reason. I doubt this will change.
Rashford has been shit every time he was played on the right.
Lingard is also way better through the middle.
And then all that is left is Mata who looks finished.
We need a quality right winger. The fact that we have two or three players that could theoretically play there but are just not good enough can't be reason enough to just ignore that position. Get rid of players like Mata if needed. That we failed to clear out dead wood can't be an excuse for inactivity in the transfer market.
Especially considering that we are trying to get a CB when we have 5 (!) players more than capable of playing there.
Our transfer strategy if there is one has been utter shambles this window. Our biggest weakness last year was our underwhelming attack. Especially on the right. But we just ignore that.
Other than that it’s been brilliant.
You missed the most crucial one of all. Fellaini re-signing. Get in
Getting rid of Bakayoko is the best bit for them
Given the cnutish action of Courtois this is a decent bit of business from Chelsea, Kovacic will show his class with regular football.
Jorginho---Kante--Kovacic.
That's a very good midfield indeed. They keep Hazard and they will be a real threat to the top 4.

Zouma? £50 million or do one.
So easy to be a sports journo. Just link anyone with anyone and go back to your pint.
No chance of it happening but Mourinho loves/loved him. The ACL injury affected his game a hell of a lot though.
I rate him actually as a defender, but he's awful on the ball and therefore utterly pointless for us.
Didn't know club check for sex performance. Now we understand what LVG meant he wanted his players to be horny
please make it stop
A French Smalling?
Like that matters when we're in our own box all game. Imagine how many crosses he'll be able to head out
Is Titus Bramble still around? Running out of center backs here.
I actually quite like him. Although I remember him getting that horrible injury and i'm not sure if he's been the same since.
Zouma is good, hope we get him
Yet ppl bring up that Chelsea somehow had a worse window than us.
Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea all improved big time. Top 4 will be quite a struggle next season
It might be difficult to believe Zouma is worse than Smalling with the ball.
Waiting for the Ruel Fox links for RW
Same. It’s a strange one. He is good mates with Pogba.
Can you afford to give us that much money?
Zouma has to be our 6th option in the defenders list. Absolutely hilarious.
It’s a ploy to put pressure on Bayern.You have got to be fecking with me
