Burnley, Drameh

Reading tea leaves a bit here but bear with me...
Burnley want to sign left back Maatsen who has been on loan. Chelsea reportedly want £20m for him(!).
Perhaps Burnley might decide that they can therefore only afford one full back this summer, and they drop their interest in Drameh,meaning we avoid a bidding war with them.
Fingers crossed Chelsea stay unreasonable!

Are Chelsea just after ridiculous fees for their players who wouldn't be in their squad so they can offset the FFP cost they accrued in January ?

Bree as cover for Drameh would be good too. He was one of our most improved and consistent players before his mistaken move to Southampton.

Really don't understand this obsession/lack of imagination with posts about signing former players.
Like our recruitment team haven't time and time again come up with the goods with transfers who have no ties to us whatsoever to completely dispel even the notion of this?
However would still happily have him play as "cover" RB, with a combination of Qsho/Locks/Bell/Potts (this last season)in the CB roles.
Can't sign every player out there!

Potts wasn’t ever really first choice last season and it was clear that when we got our back three sorted we were much more secure. Potts at home to Coventry comes to mind….
I can’t see Potts as being anything more than #24 in the squad.
We need to add two more to Burke/Osho/Locks/Bell
Suspect one will be Steve Cook and then potentially a younger player.
We then need two Right Backs and one further Left Back.
Bree and Manning would work for me + Cody or similar.
Whilst I agree that Potts will not be in the first three centre back positions when all are fit and available, to single him out in the Coventry league game is more than a bit harsh.
NJ, for reasons only known to him, dropped Lockyer for that match and selected a returning Bradley ahead of Lockyer. Unfortunately, Sonny had one of those 'getting back up to speed' games where he didn't react quickly enough and/or make the right decisions so many times early in the game. So much so that Potts was having to cover both his own patch and the space that was being exploited around and behind Bradley ... gradually being drawn more into the centre of the pitch to safeguard Sonny.
When you've got a forward line with Gyokeres and Godden who know how to create space for each other, Potts was made to look poor. If you need to point the finger at anyone for that evening's result and defensive frailties then look no further than NJ.
Despite NJ's brain wobble when selecting the team, if the referee had done his job properly at the end of the game then we would still have gained a win!

When it comes to team selection we as fans never have the full picture. Players could be rested because of minor injuries that we don’t know about.
I agree HH. After NJ Bree wasn't considered worth a starting place in the Prem

Don't think we should get too fixated on Drameh. Decent player, yes, but his lack of composure in the last minutes against Sunderland could have cost us if they had gone back down the other end and scored.
