lol almost EVERY major player transfer is linked to Barca, yet they cannot even afford Rashford on a cut-rate price they would have to sell so SO many of their players (and these are players who basically refuse to leave Barca) just to buy the top 5 or so transfers linked to them examples of players linked to Barca: most are just silly, as you will quickly see, once the ovwerall cost is taken into account Erling Haaland (that actually makes sense, IF Pep leaves and IF Barca cash in on enough players they have now who they do not need) Michael Olise Moisés Caicedo João Neves Vitinha Hugo Ekitiké Julián Alvarez Alessandro Bastoni (this makes sense as well, biut agin, they will HAVE to sell big names) Khvicha Kvaratskhelia William Saliba Sandro Tonali Yan Diomande Jurriën Timber Dayot Upamecano Kenan Yıldız João Pedro Bruno Guimarães Gabriel Victor Osimhen Bradley Barcola Luka Vuskovic Adam Wharton Elliot Anderson Riccardo Calafiori Nico O'Reilly Alphonso Davies etc etc

✴️🔵According to Argentinian paper @LANACION, 3 European clubs are eyeing Enzo Fernandez: 🔹 PSG 🔹 Real Madrid 🔹 Atletico Madrid 🗯🔵Chelsea target Morgan Rogers is open to leaving Aston Villa this summer with some possible movement now expected. Rogers would be open to leaving Aston Villa for one of the Premier League’s biggest hitters this summer. They mention that Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal are all long-standing admirers of the 23-year-old. They have apparently learned that Rogers wants to be part of a team that is consistently pushing to win major trophies. A deal for Rogers is apparently likely to exceed £80million – and could even surpass the £100m club record sale of Jack Grealish to Manchester City in 2021. 💥🔵@Sport report Barcelona’s interest in Yan Diomande, as part of their plan to strengthen their attack next season. The report goes on to state that several Premier League sides, ‘especially Liverpool and Chelsea’, are ‘prepared to offer’ over €60m for Diomande. In January, the player said: “I want to play for Liverpool. I’m a huge Liverpool fan. My dad dreams of seeing me play at Anfield!”

“I can absolutely understand fans who feel an emptiness about supporting Chelsea at the moment because of the americanisation of elements of the club. But the heartbeat will [still] be there once the Americans have made their money and moved on.” [Henry Winter via @talkSPORT] https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2809310492743408

Potter 🗣️”Chelsea isn’t being run like a football club it’s being run like a business experiment. Fans are the ones paying for it. If you change 7 players in every windows, the instability of that is hard to deal with. Also no clear structure at Chelsea ” https://www.facebook.com/reel/2548598945556199

Home kit for next season apparently

big problem with him (and other high quality CMFs who I will soon list like I did with DMFs) is that IF we have no CL, he will not want to come here (and TBH, he really does not want to leave Real at all)

He looked really good to me in the UCL matches I’ve watched recently. 🤷‍♂️

🔵Real Madrid are open to selling Eduardo Camavinga (23) this summer, with the La Liga club growing increasingly frustrated with the Frenchman's lack of progress. (L'Éq)

Kova. Pure winner. 22 major trophies, including 4 CLs, 4 FIFA World Club Cups, 4 UEFA Super Cups, plus a Europa League and 9 domestic leagues titles or cups. He also was in a World Cup final and won 3rd place in another, plus was in a Nations League final, all with a nation of less than 4 million people (for comparison, just the London metro area is 4 times bigger, with close to 16 million people now). Only downside was the 3 FA Cup finals, 2 League Cup finals, and 2 Community Shields he lost with us and Citeh between 2018 and 2024. He had a Wembley curse (like we STILL do, ffs), but has won his last 2 finals there with Citeh. Let's hope we break our curse and put him on a new one this time.

Kovacic, just liked his simple style in midfield and he was part of that winning team we had from 18/19 to winning UCL final with Tuchel. I expect more from Enzo as that price tag hasn't been justified yet.

Chelsea put on a show at Stamford Bridge yesterday as they were on a mission to react to…View the full article

Tricky one Kovacic like Makaleles goals were rarer than rocking horse shit, Santos needs to develop a bit more, so Enzo. But even hes not that brilliant

Random off-topic (partially) Kovacic or Andrey Santos or Enzo? As an all-round CM.

Chelsea could turn to Sunderland goalkeeper Robin Roefs, 23, to replace incumbent number one Robert Sanchez. (Teamtalk, external)

they only CMFs and DMFs on the planet I would pay £100m (or more in a few cases) for it is not a big group (10 atm) Pedri Jude Bellingham (also plays a lot at AMF) Federico Valverde Moisés Caicedo João Neves Vitinha Dominik Szoboszlai (also plays a lot at AMF) Sandro Tonali Adam Wharton Declan Rice close, but probably not Elliot Anderson Ryan Gravenberch Aleksandar Pavlovic next (to make it the sweet 16) Enzo Fernández Bruno Guimarães Warren Zaïre-Emery

Real Madrid won't go that high If we're lucky we get 100 million for Enzo. 😄

no team on the planet will pay that for him, other than maybe a team in Saudi

in terms of DMFs, here are the 2 types DMFs - the great ones, but ones who are very unrealistic for multiple reasons, especially IF we miss out on CL, but not just limited to that, as some simply will not want to leave their club for Chels, or are simply too expensive. No need to bold any, as I rate them all. Rodri is not on the list as he is too old for BlueCo, too injured, and would never come here anyway, he will end up in Spain at one of the Big Three I think. João Neves (zero chance atm) Vitinha (zero chance atm) Sandro Tonali (obviously a huge target, along with Wharton, but both will likely be FAILS for us) Adam Wharton (obviously a huge target, along with Tonali, but both will likely be FAILS for us) Ryan Gravenberch (Pool would demand over £100m, and likely would not sell him to another EPL club anyway) Aleksandar Pavlovic (we have tried multiple times, no way will Bayern sell him unless we waived £100m plus in their faces) Martín Zubimendi (Arse would not sell him to us for less than £80m or so, nor would he come here unless we had CL, plus I do not think he is what we need) Aurélien Tchouaméni (although IF we get CL we might be able to get Real Madrid to toss him in as makeweight for Enzo) Joshua Kimmich (too old now anyway, for BlueCo, I still rate the HELL out of him, he was, is, and will be a magnificent player) Marc Bernal (Barca and he himself have turned us down already) Kennet Eichhorn (likely the next German superstar DMF after Kimmich, but he is only 16yo atm and also EVERYBODY wants him, including Bayern, Real Madrid, Barca, PSG, Citeh, Pool, Manure, Arse, Inter, Juve, AC Milan, Atletico Madrid, Napoli, and Dortmund) 2nd type: DMFs that we probably have a shot at (bold ones I really rate, and unfortunately there are not that many and almsot none of those, even in in bold below, make we go 'BUY HIM') Carlos Baleba (but will be really expensive I fear and he loves Manure, and he laso has regressed a wee bit) Nico González (but Citeh will want big money (especially IF Rodri leaves), and we absolutely would need to have CL I think) Amadou Onana (he will want CL for sure, and I just do not think he is what we need atm) Morten Hjulmand Angelo Stiller Boubacar Kamara (injury issues) James Garner Alan Varela Máximo Perrone (he has blown up at Como, IF we had Cesc for our gaffer he would be a prime target) Ardon Jashari Hayden Hackney Aleksandar Stanković Leon Avdullahu Tyler Morton Samuele Ricci André Rúben Neves (I rate him, BUT he is 29yo, 30yo late next winter, plus he is on crazy money in Saudi, that said, I dread him going to Manure, he would be perfect for them atm) Marc Casadó (Barca will want big money and he has $audi written all over him, plus I worry about him being bullied in the EPL) Mandela Keita (but I am not sure he is truly what we need to win the league and/or CL, so put him down as a bit of a dice roll) Hakan Çalhanoğlu (I rate him, BUT he is 32yo and is the type who you add when you are stacked everywhere and think you are a top 4 or 5 club on planet and want to win the CL and your league NOW)

🚨🇦🇷 🔵Chelsea still wants to improve Enzo Fernández's contract, despite the pause in negotiations and the strong interest from some elite European clubs. If the player decides to leave, the stance is clear: they won't let him go for less than £130M (€150M). (@verobrunati)

I see him much more as a MFer but sure, he could fill in at LB if need be LB is VERY light position-wise in terrms of REAL quality LBs who will actually want to move, and who will come here (especially if we have no CL) and all those will have all or most of the 10 to 12 'Big Boy' clubs chasing them Of the clear top 3 I listed Nico O'Reilly (1.93m) Alphonso Davies (1.85m) Nathaniel Brown (the one I would try to go for first, BUT so so many clubs want him) (1.76m, he is the only sub 6 footer (under 1.83m) on this list) only Brown is at a selling club Then you have a big drop off (at least for NOW as 3 of the 4 listed below are youth) Antonee Robinson would have been perfect 5 or so years ago, but now he turns 29yo in only 3 months (1.83m) Davide Bartesaghi of AC Milan is deffo a 'BlueCo' type of buy (20yo, tall,same height as Nico O'Reilly, and pacy) BUT he has every top 6 to 8 club drooling (1.93m) over him Dayann Methalie of Toulouse FC is also tall and pacy, and is also 20yo, and is less costly, less coveted (atm) so he is proably the one BlueCo move for (1.88m) Kauã Prates (turns 18yo in mid-August so JUST makes the age cut-off for the summer '26 window) is off the board, as Dortmund just signed him for this summer (1.84m) Diego Moreira of Strasbourg would be a wild card, he has exploded as a LeftMFer since he left us and is a left-footer. He just still needs work defensively. the other non-listed TOP top LBs are all unavailable AND/OR would never come here now, atm, or, in Balde's case, are too injury-prone IMHO Nuno Mendes best LB on the planet by far Álvaro Carreras (why would he leave Real madrid for us?, plus I really do not tate him as high as many do) Alejandro Balde (doesnt want to leave Barca, BUT they are sick of his injuries. That said, they will want BIG money probably) Riccardo Calafiori (main place he would leave for is back to Italy, Inter most likely, or perhaps Real or Barca. No way he comes here) Federico Dimarco (doesnt want to leave Italy and I cannot see him coming here, plus, like Carreras and Balde and Lewis-Skelly (Myles NOW, after his regression) I just do not rate Dimarco all THAT much) Jorrel Hato (already Chels) Myles Lewis-Skelly (has regressed a lot and also openly said he does not want to play for Chels, he absolutely wants to stay at Arse, especially IF Calafiori leaves) Lewis Hall (he is pissed we sold him, he would be PERFECT to replace CuCu) Ian Maatsen (another pissed-off ex Chels) Andrea Cambiaso turns 27 in February '27, and says IF he was to leave Juve, he wants a CL club for sure, plus Juve want cray money for him Theo Hernández is too old now for BlueCo (basically same age as Antonee Robinson at Fulham), plus is making insane Saudi money, plus has always been suspect defensively, especially for the EPL El Hadji Malick Diouf might be worth a look but pass (in most cases HARD pass) on many other LB big names: Milos Kerkez Rayan Aït-Nouri Patrick Dorgu Destiny Udogie Djed Spence Ferdi Kadıoğlu Carlos Augusto Tyrick Mitchell Carlos Romero Adrien Truffert Gerard Martín Maxi Araújo Neco Williams Vitaliy Mykolenko Alejandro Grimaldo Matteo Ruggeri Leif Davis Ryan Sessegnon Lucas Hernández Quilindschy Hartman (still has not FULLY recovered from a terrible injury) Maximilian Mittelstädt Miguel Gutiérrez Caio Henrique Mathías Olivera Rico Henry Pervis Estupiñán Renan Lodi Fran García Angeliño Oleksandr Zinchenko Luke Shaw

How about Barco?

Yes, its a shame. Rosenior has susequently said he sat down with Cucurella, and said it is all now cool. Rather believe him than Blueco, but Enzo, yeah good player but hes no Essien 😃 We've had it before -remember Gallas...
