The Stamford Bridge boss believes £20m-rated Dembele would give his ailing champions a desperately-needed mid-season boost and believes the club should make an offer.

They should start linking us with some of their players before the game too, I mean they'll probably want to be playing champions league football next year...

Only a few I can think of that would improve our starting 11. That's a telling sign...

I have been on Dembele's case in the recent past but I wouldn't sell in the form he's in at the moment, even if this story was true. I don't think we could get a replacement in January because clubs don't want to sell their best players at that time.

However if they wanted to make a bid of 20 million+ in the summer, we should definitely consider doing a deal, chiefly because Dembele will be 29 year next year. I don't think we can afford to turn down that kind of money for a 29 year old outfield player, now that we have a proper scouting set up, I'm more confident of us getting a good replacement.

Typical Chelsea to try and stir things up. Will not sell in January but it may be hard to get him to sign a new contract in the summer given his previous lack of starts. By then Chelsea will have probably moved on to hassle somebody else though.

Sell one of our best players to our rivals?

No.

seeing Chelsea were after the Fulham Dembele earlier this week, maybe The Mirror just got them mixed up and just ran with it, like all their other rumours they print.

£20 million for a player with a year and a half left on his contract. That's the first indicator that this story is bullshit!

Alli is suspended so I guess they won't bother making up a story about him.
Maybe it will alderweireld or Dier tomorrow

The Fulham striker looks really promising, so we could sell Moussa Dembele and buy Moussa Dembele in the same window.

This Dembele is unique and irreplaceable.
The one we've had the two seasons before was sellable.

We've missed out on trophies and titles because we've sold so many of our best players over the past seasons. This is NOT the time to sell players who can help us achieve our goals (no pun intended).

At long last we are building a team who can take us to the top and nothing should hinder our progress.

All players are sellable Man Utd sold Ronaldo to Madrid, Liverpool sold Sterling to City. We sold Bale to Madrid.

Like I said Dembele is going to be 29 next year, every player has a price whether we like it or not, it's the reality. I don't feel it's in our best interests to turn down, a very high bid if one comes in, in the summer.

Hilarious that they feel they need to do all this stirring before the game.

They know it's an absolute make or breaker for their season, and they're pulling out all the stops to try and unsettle our players.
