Non-Chelsea Transfer Pub

[oldportblue 547]

remains to be seen whether our recent sub-par signings were because the board didn't trust conte (or they knew they'd get rid of him at the end of this season) and thus did not want to invest hundreds of millions into players conte prefers for his system... or it it's because we're building a new stadium and we are planning on reducing costs for the next 5 or so years.

I still have hope that if/when we get a new manager this summer, the board will back him and let him bring him some top quality signings. I may be wrong but I don't necessarily think roman wants to go on a 10 year period like arsenal where they almost didn't spend any money. I think and hope roman is too ambitious for that and will want to back the club with decent transfer kits regardless of the stadium being built (news came in yesterday saying that the building project can go ahead)

But we have spend money, except we buy crap.

we do, but you need to consider the fact that we've sold players for huge amounts (like costa and others too)... i think our net spend for the past year and a half/two years is comparable to clubs like crystal palace if i'm not mistaken (i think isaw that somewhere)... But yeah, we have still bought some nice players like kante more or less recently so there is still hope. I think by the end of this summer we will have a great idea of whether the club is in arsenal-esque economy mode or not

You guys are asking too much. 

We not longer can buy top quality. 

More Drinkwaters are the players we will get. 

TBH not able to pay for top class players often leads to giving chance to youth. At least something exciting, something that shows the direction of the club.

BUT at Chelsea, we rather pay 30,40m on piss like Drinkwater.

I actualy dont mind we cant afford 200m every summer, but what I hate is the club buying shit players instead of giving chance to some of our youth.

For example, RLC or Chalobah (who was sold) could easily fill the Drinks/Barkley role and we would still have 55m for other targets. Our board doesnt know what will happen next month, nevermind in 2 years. The lack of vision is depressing. We sell Chalobah, only to be forced to buy another english midfielder who is worse, older and costs 40m? GTFO.

Sure Chalobah wanted to leave, but if he was actualy given the same trust that Barkley or Drinks got, that would change his mind. Its all about being in the plans and being counted on. Playing time would be small, but when you know the club and coach counts on you, its easier and Chalobah would still get decent amount of chances.

It made too much sense to bring some of youth in more important backup roles and spend whatever money available on 2-3 top players. Instead we sold or loaned youth and brought shit players to our bench for backup while spending all the money, and on top, no actual proven quality. Clusterfuck,

And dont say RLC and Chalobah werent good enough. Till injury, they were very good and considering the state of our midfield with aging slow Cesc, injured Barkley, average Drinks and Baka, our two youth midfielders would be more than good enough.

But the club cant see shit, no vision, nothing.

Having less money next couple summers wont kill us, but the idiotic board just may.

Free Transfer at end of the season i'm sure we can convince him with wages .. why are we not looking into this

He's supposedly asking for 200k per week, that's why.

Thats to stay at Liverpool If we give him let say 150 + bonuses i'm sure he would accept

We don't know what are predicament will be at the start of next season, so that could be unlikely.

Milik suffered a knee ịnjury, Mertens replaced him. 

false 9 or not false 9, it doesnt matter with Sarri.

Chelsea will have to pay £25m if they want to bring Norwich City playmaker James Maddison to Stamford Bridge this summer. Tottenham also interested. (Mirror) #CFC

 

Good player for ......... Liga Europa 

[BlueLyon 9,359]

I see you guys have big plans for summer. 

Seeing this club current state, the board and plans, I dont have big hopes for summer...

First, I only want Bailey because he is available, huge talent, possible long term RW and most important of all, big Chelsea fan. At least he will live his dream and enjoy playing here. It makes too much sense and I will be pissed if we miss on him.

Secondly, sell Tibo and get Alisson. That way we get quality (young) GK who wont complain all the time. Oblak is a dream, but nearly impossible. 

Anything else, from another striker, midfielder, defenders,...it will be great bonus if we manage to get some quality there too but I doubt.

Word!  And worse - those expensive duds are blocking their paths, because we paid so much and they earn so much we will not be getting rid of them anytime soon. We know that the club rather eat expensive shit than homemade bread.
