Alabama 1,992 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I hope "Conte out" brigade ll stop blaming conte when results goes down south....players like Nabil Fekir and Raphael gurreiro(if sandros price is too high) are available at a fairly reasonable price but morons in charge if transfers ll deem it too reasonable to pull a move that will immediately transform the team into a formidable side...they ll rather watch the team struggle and sign Carroll to solve our goal scoring crisis...

El P. 1,354 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Sometimes I hate the way in which we play, but most of the time I am enjoying seasons and watching our games. Transfer windows? Hate them deeply. Winter, summer, anytime, it's so depressing. Watching others buying quality, watching Chelsea doing shit and getting my hopes up here and there with links to massive players (Sandro). Cannot wait January to end.

Our best buys are always ones where we have known our targets and got in there fast! And for whatever soddin reason we dont do it very often. I would love to have someone in charge of transfers who understood football, understood Chelsea, was happy only doinh their job without the ego or need for power and was on good terms with whichever manager we had. Shouldnt be too much to ask for. MAYBE my thoughts of bringing in JT,Lamps,Drogs as a team for transfers,youth coaching,ambassadors etc would work?

Sideshow Luiz 2,310 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 On the plus side of not getting anyone in: pretty soon we are going to be out of 2 (maybe 3) competitions, so depth won't be as much of an issue. Silver linings, huh? xPetrCechx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, in our case, we didn't get our business done in the summer, so January felt/feels like an opportunity to finish what we were supposed to do in the summer. But.... we'll see. I really do think we'll get a LB/LWB, but that's it. I can't see us getting a CM or RW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always seems so positive to start then oooo. I can't see anyone of note coming in now.. Which is worrying.. This is gana be a long half of the season..

BMox81 193 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I actually find it staggering that there actually Chelsea fans that wouldn't want us to sign Alexis Sanchez purely because of the financial side of things. Have you seen our current squad? We are in desperate need of a player of his quality and talents, yet all I'm hearing is "oh but his wages would be too high". You want the best, you pay for the best.

Simple as. It's not just pay for Sanchez and got it. If we pay like 400k/week for Sanchez so you can up the wage of all players and you blow up your global wages at short term. First with Courtois and Hazard you will add 100k/week for each to extend them. We have a balance to respect, and the club can't do what they want. We have not unlimited money like United/City. The new stadium is going to cost a lot of money too. I'm also frustrated but its not difficult to understand.

And if we don't have top quality talent at the club, we won't fill that 60,000 stadium either. Sanchez signing would give Hazard a sign of intent that we are serious and want to be challenging for the top honours and he'd be more inclined to sign his new deal as opposed to holding off. Too many people worrying about the financial side of things these days - all down to the club conditioning everyone to be that way. Troubling times.

King11Didier 916 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I'd love to see Sanchez with Chelsea shirt, but if his reported demands are true, for the weekly wages, it will blow up the whole current structure of the wages in the club, as said above. And I don't believe he actually deserves so much money, if he has such demands, he better focus to China. Of course I will be fuming if he goes to manure, because he is a player who will upgrade any team in the world. Actually I don't think Chelsea are interested in him at all, it is just has to be some other team for the media, after City were reported that they won't chase him anymore.

Supermonkey92 1,428 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 We'd be stupid to get him. We need to stop fucking panic buys. The board needs a director that has some sort of idea where the squad is going and buy accordingly, not pissing away money (I'm not talking 200,000 a week here!) On a 30 year old. That Lyon winger would be the smarter option. Or here's a thought, saving the money on a cm in the summer. Or a lb. Or a rwb. Or a whole host of areas in dire need.

Dimitr 488 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Yes!! Arsenal are set to make an opening offer of £35m plus striker Olivier Giroud for Borussia Dortmund star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. (Standard) #CFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,866 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Sanchez wouldn't be a panic buy, a panic buy is the likes of Zappacosta and Drinkwater. Sanchez is still an elite footballer, he will give you 3-4 seasons of pure quality football and he is a complete game changer, we only have one player in our team right now who that applies too. Players of the ability of Sanchez are ten a penny now a days, and whilst the wages are high the fee isn't so it counter acts itself. People are looking too closely at the age, it's a number, not only that but who is available on the market now, and I'm talking now because it's relevant to this window, that can come into not just CFC, but any club and be THAT outstanding player? The answer is nobody. I don't think it will happen, but I think you have to be pretty naive to think he cant make a difference wherever he goes, because he is that good.
