Di Marzio said yesterday Chelsea want an obligation for Chalobah so unless they change their stance we will probably end up with Acerbi.

If you accept an obligation then you can simply go for Akanji who is a better player.

Yeah Chalobah with an obligation would be a huge risk. I don't quite understand why would they demand obligation unless they consider him not good enough anyway for them.

With Akanji they talk about loan while extending his contract. That would suit Dortmund for sure I guess but will it suit to the player? I think that's pretty complicated deal but let's see if we can pull it off or if that whole rumor is just Gazzetta dello Sport reporter daydreaming.

Heard from Chelsea fans that Chalobah was very decent when he needed to step in. He's also familiar with the back 3, young and no injury records (other than a missing ball or two :yao:)

Chalobah is very good as a RCB. Thats where I have mostly seen him play at Chelsea. Might be decent as a center CB as well due to his passing ability. Tuchel can be an idiot sometimes - he should be starting Chalobah at RCB instead of wasting James there.

Chalobah started his career as a DM so in theory he could also play in the middle. I haven't watched him enough to have an opinion on him though.

No joke, between all the names mentioned here I would just go for the one who is the fastest, think that's what we need even more than some dude who is defensively sound but slow as fuck. We have a whole starting line up of defenders who are exactly that, so we need to mix it up a little bit.

So with that in mind, chalobah would be my choice, put skriniar in the middle, where he needs to be given his technical limitations on moving with the ball and going forward, and see how that goes.

True. Let all the candidates run the 100m and sign the fastest.

Akanji over Chalobah. Chalobah higher ceiling but probably too expensive to redeem for Inter.

Di Marzio says Chalobah is #1 option and then Akanji. They will also not rush and this could go into the last day of the transfer window. Acerbi on the other hand is pretty much a done deal, if any of those 2 dont come.

Basically beggars, knocking on doors in a hope someone out of pity will gift us something. I mean lazio already did, we're just waiting on chelsea and dortmund pity for our little broke ass. Hopefully their hearts aren't made out of stone :giggle:
