I think they just want somebody who might be able to unlock Havertz and Werner...maybe even start by playing them in their best positions.

Yeah, Athletic reported that they tried to get Rangnick to run out the season, and then to move to another role. He declined. They also tried to reach out to RB re Nagelsmann and were rebuffed, so now Tuchel. I don't know if they circle back to Nagelsmann in the summer... I guess it depends on Tuchel's success to some extent.
Interesting tidbit that was revealed is that Lampard really wanted to buy Rice and Chilwell this past summer, as well as Ziyech and Aubameyang last winter. Mendy was also on his insistence. The club was against buying Rice, and thought that Kepa should have been handled better. All the other purchases were made by the club. Maybe Lampard isn't as stupid as we thought.
