Vesper

I have to call bullshit on this unless the board is truly going off the rails again. We REALLY need to sort out CF, RW, LB and CB FIRST

Chelsea lead chase for brilliant £45million transfer as Maurizio Sarri loses patience with two CFC players https://www.caughtoffside.com/2018/12/11/chelsea-lead-edinson-cavani-transfer-chase/ Chelsea are reportedly leading the chase for the transfer of Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani in a deal likely to be worth around £45million. It remains to be seen if PSG will be content to sell for that kind of price, but it’s the biggest offer currently coming in, according to France Football, as translated by the Metro. The Blues could do with a striker of Cavani’s calibre after the struggles of Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud, with the report explaining that manager Maurizio Sarri is essentially fed up with relying on the pair. Cavani would surely be an upgrade on those two after his prolific record in both Serie A and Ligue 1 in a hugely successful career at the highest level. A tall, strong, skilful and clinical forward, the Uruguay international also seems ideal for the demands of Premier League football, so would surely settle relatively quickly at Stamford Bridge. snip How does this work with our NO MULTIYEAR CONTRACTS for 30 plus year-olds (Cavani is 32 in February)????? Something HAS to give. Giroud is pure shit at this point and Morata is twice as bad. Giroud fanboys/girls in 6,5,4,3.........

That doesn't address Fekir's knees. He is damaged goods. We would be fools to pay £65m plus for him.

HAZARD CONFIRMS CHELSEA CONTRACT TALKS HAVE STOPPED https://readchelsea.com/2018/12/11/hazard-confirms-chelsea-contract-talks-have-stopped/ Chelsea’s talisman Eden Hazard has confirmed that contract talks between himself and the club have stopped. Speaking to RMC Sport about his future, as reported by the Express, Hazard provided a fresh update regarding his future at Stamford Bridge. Snip

Chelsea star Eden Hazard once again opens the door to Real Madrid transfer https://metro.co.uk/2018/12/10/chelsea-star-eden-hazard-opens-door-real-madrid-transfer-8228869/ Eden Hazard has reignited the possibility of leaving Chelsea for Real Madrid and says talks over a new deal at Stamford Bridge have once again stalled. The Belgian intimated after the World Cup that he would consider his future at the west London club, though he has enjoyed an excellent 2018/19 campaign so far under new manager Maurizio Sarri. The Blues have persuaded the likes of Cesar Azpilicueta and N’Golo Kante to sign new deals and had hoped to convince Hazard next. The 27-year-old only has 18 months left on his contract, which could force Chelsea to cash in next summer rather than lose him for nothing, and he has now opened the door to leaving once again. ‘There was a bit of talk [with Chelsea] but then it stopped, now we’re waiting,’ Hazard told French radio station RMC. On the rumours linking him with Real Madrid, he continued: ‘The new coach [Sarri] thinks football like me. ‘The family is in London, I’m also going to be 28. I do not want to have any regrets at the end of my career. It’s a decision I’m going to make, I do not know when, but I’ll take it. snip

No to Fekir, he has had massive knee problems, its why the scouser scum pulled out at last minute. Speaking of which, there i just now bullshit articles fromLyoncmp saying the knee wasnt the real isue. I do not buy that at all. If he was on a free (like Ramsey would be), then sure, but no way is he worth a risk for £65m or so. Plus he is not a true winger, he is more of an AMF

Why Chelsea will have to pay £30m for striker they could have had for £12m in the summer Callum Wilson emerged as a Chelsea transfer target in the summer https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/transfer-news/chelsea-pay-30m-striker-could-15533394 This is crazy!! He has torn up each of his knees in 2 of the last 3 seasons before this. I am SUPER paranoid on knee injuries. It is why (and I think why Victimpool bailed) I say NO NO NO to Nabil Fekir from Lyon. Look at how they have ruined careers or at least made players far less than they were before. Zouma is a shell of what he once was. I dont think he will ever recover fully. Baba Rahman is still not close to being fixed (which REALLY sucks as I think he might have been great for Sarriball) Emerson still is not back to absolute top class he was in Roma. ALL from blown out knees. Look at De Bruyne's struggles now (what a shame if he never fully gets back to the level of best AMF in the world, although it does help us, BUT I NEVER wish injury on a player, except for maybe that dirty fucking scum Ramos from Real, as he is giant thug who intentionally injures people) I so say NO NO NO to Wilson, especially for £30m plus.

Yes, shit way to toss away 3 points for Watford, 96th minute free kick. They got robbed twice by horrid calls too. VAR cannot come soon enough.

Duncan Castles is Manc todger-sucking cunt. He posts lies about CFC for years. He can can sod the fuck off back to his Manure cave.

yep!

Lolol, Everton missed a pen.

Wooot 1 2 Watford. Glad to see London area putting the boots to the junior bin dippers.

If we are going to spend around £40-45m on a fullback, FFS BUY JUNIOR FIRPO and sell the donkey Alonso whilst we can still get £50m for him. Valentino Lazaro at RB would cost half or so what Hysaj will cost and is a FAR better athlete, younger, can play RMF and RW as well and has vastly more upside.

Bakayoko turned 24 three and a half months ago.

Watford got FUCKED on that goal for Richarlson, as Walcott was way offside and touched the ball. More HORRID EPL refereeing

No, because he is threatening to leave if he gets a multiyear contract elsewhere, so he needs to let us know ASAP so we dont get FUCKED again in the bloody transfer market. You forget just how SHIT our board is.

Sign it or GTFO. Absolutely will not deal with another Brasilian pulling cunt moves, especially Luiz.

laugh of the day! Barcelona and Real Madrid join Chelsea and Man Utd in race for €150m Napoli star https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/barcelona-and-real-madrid-join-chelsea-and-man-utd-in-race-for-e-24209 Kalidou Koulibaly is a player who interests all top teams all over Europe, with teams especially in the Premier League expressing their interest in the Napoli centre-back. However, now it seems that there are also suitors in Spain for the Senegalese defender. According to Domenica Sportiva, Napoli will not sell any players in January and the qualification from the Champions League group stage could bring another 20 million in the pockets of the club that is planning strategies for June, where some big players like Koulibaly could be sacrificed. Koulibaly is valued at 150 million euros and, as mentioned, is a very demanded player, with Chelsea, Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid all showing their interest in the player. The money from this sale would serve to increase the budget for Napoli in order to buy a big player, with Edinson Cavani being the first name on the list, as well as Federico Chiesa. snip LOLOLOLOL As if anyone is going to pay 150m (£136m) euros for a CB who you will only get 2 years of under 30yo play out of!!! The truth is the vast majority of players shit out quickly after they turn 30. Its just a cold brutal fact, especially with the insane amount of games now that top clubs play. I could see 80 or 90m for KK, but 150m euros is just LUNATIC level valuation. The only players in history that cost more are Neymar (£200m), Mbappe (£175m) and Coutinho (£145m), Dembele (£135m with add-ons, so very close to the 150m euros) is the only other player than those 3 who cost over £100m. The next biggest is a huge drop off, Pogba (£95m based off today's exchange rates, was 90m quid at the time) Fucking Poison Dwarf is off his trolley Also, the article LUDICROUSLY paints a soon to be 32yo Cavani as a major target for Napoli. They might try and sign him but there is no way (if some team ridiculously pays 150m for KK) that they would blow a huge chunk of that on a player who turns 33 in his first year with them. Chiesa now, I can so see them going for, that makes sense (and SUCKS for us)

2 of my favourite wingers Pepe and Thorgan! Bloody shame Thorgan is not a RW, lol Pepe is my number one doable RW target for about 2 months now, after Leon Bailey has collapsed (1 goal in 19 games) at Bayer Leverkusen. Ironically Borussia Mönchengladbach and Lille are also the two best teams who are NOT playing in the EL or CL this year, lol.

A WC RW and CF will hopefully open up the right more for Azpi to be more integrated into the offensive flow. Along with LB those are our 3 most glaring personnel issues, when Luiz puts on his good head like yesterday and plays to WC level.

Crazy to see the Copa Libertadores final (2nd of 2 legs) at the Santiago Bernabéu. Boca Juniors are now up 2 3 after they scored like 20 minutes ago. Place is insane atmosphere, totally sold out, so way over 80,000. here is a SD link (sorry no HD links I could find, we are watching it on Swedish telly) https://soccer-live.stream/river-plate-arg-vs-boca-juniors-arg-live/stream-1 just saw this video too, from the clubs official channel The NEW & FUTURE Santiago Bernabéu Stadium and of course, Barca is redoing all their facilities as well, including Camp Nou

I used to rate him much higher, but he has regressed at PSG. He is weak defensively, prone to errors, although he can score. I am still all in on Junior Firpo, if we will not drop mega quid on Lucas Hernandez (which we wont).

Alex Sandro just agreed to renew with Juve so good luck to PSG with that one, lolol.

Good summation. Plus, I went crazy in 1st half with his bad passing. But yes, 2nd half was better, but at a cost, like you cohently pointed out.
