hertyid with an update : I'm told both done now. Assume something will be announced later this week.

this refers to his itk in update 77 re a young central defender (probably lascalles), and its thought the other one is davies

be very interesting to see if this bares fruit, barely been linked with CD's, let alone rumours of one being signed.

How did you get out of the chains/ball gag? Anyway, glad you're ok.

Will be interesting to see who the mystery CB is.

The young cb is Varane

#bombshell

Chelsea target Raphael Varane wants to hold contract talks with current club Real Madrid before deciding on his future, according to reports.

The Daily Mail believe the centre-back is on just £25,000-a-week – small change compared to many of his team-mates – and wants an improved offer from Madrid before considering his options.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is keen on bringing the 21-year-old to Stamford Bridge, having already worked with him at the Bernabeu and rating him as Europe’s top young defender.

Mourinho has already added Atletico Madrid’s Diego Costa to his squad this week, while a fee has been agreed with the La Liga champions for left-back Filipe Luis.

But the Blues boss is still in the market for another centre half, having sold David Luiz to Paris Saint-Germain, as well as another striker.

Varane is believed to top Mourinho’s list of defensive targets and the Portuguese is keeping close tabs on the youngster’s ongoing contract negotiations as he plots a move.

We must be expecting the other Swansea deals to go through before Toronto, otherwise we'd have announced the Davies deal when it was done, because either way the cat will be out of the bag come the game

Guardian saying Siggy and Davies is a straight swap, Vorm deal seperate.

So must be waiting on Siggy to do medical and tick other formalities until a deal can be announced on both players.

Would fit in with

I think it could be Dier, personally. Just because JJ seemed to mention Lascelles wasn't going to happen. Dier would fit what we need (right on the cusp of being a potential starter, imposing CB, right age and shouldn't be too expensive) really well in my opinion.

We've been linked with Gomez and Stones too - so the full house of England U21 CBs.

Well if this young CB is Varane, I, among millions of others will be over the moon.

Varane, Dier, Lascelles, absolutely no one? Really have not seen any ITK on any of them tbh other than A&C's cryptic last season. An hour ago we were signing one but now it's the other. Jeez......Get.A.Grip.
