Managers very rarely "take" players with them.
I asked this on twitter once (when Potter was off his way to Spuds) and none of the Johnny come lately Premiershite fans could name an instance.
…was in floods of tears today apparently, bless him!Should Potter be announced as the new Blues manager, he could look to bring Tariq Lamptey back to Stamford Bridge with him. Lamptey left Chelsea back in 2020 after agreeing a deal to sign for Brighton and has developed into a key player for the Seagulls.
The 21-year-old is one of Brighton's star players after leaving the Blues with former manager Frank Lampard allowing the youngster to leave the club. Lamptey followed in the footsteps of Mason Mount, Reece James and Billy Gilmour as he became the seventh academy graduate to feature under Lampard for Chelsea but opted to leave due to his desire to play regular first-team football, with James now having nailed down a starting spot at right wing-back.
The Blues were thought to be interested in signing a new right wing-back in the summer transfer window to provide competition for James and Potter may look to act on that by pursuing a deal for Lamptey.

Think what you like, and I agree it's bizarre they've singled out Lamptey as he's a squad player for us, we WILL be loosing Caicedo and probably one other (Webster/Trossard/MacAllister) to Chelsea in the next 12 months. If you're one of these people that doesn't take bad news very well, I'd start preparing for it now. Being in denial that it will happen will only end badly for yoy.
Piece on BBC with the headline 'Brighton fans were booing their team 12 months ago'. What a load of tosh. There were a few boos after the draw with Leeds not aimed at Potter or the team, but simply frustration with the result.
If Chelsea/Potter come in for Caicedo (or Mac Allister) in January or next summer, just how much do you think TB will insist on as a transfer fee? Eye-watering isn't even in the runners and riders!

I can see Caicedo going there. The rest I don’t think would meet the expectations at Chelsea, great as they are for us.
Sadly yes. He said in an interview Roberts is like his "father figure".Sanchez
