LAM09 7,056 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Werner is not coming here, I am 90% plus convinced, maybe 95% the only other great striker who MAY move (doubtful atm and he will be hugely expensive, and will also not come here, is Lautaro) Dembele is the best of the lot we can get realistically hope for, unless we somehow get Shitty to cough up Jesus, but that is so not happening unless the cough up Jesus is Pep choking on a communion wafer we are cray to pay 25m quid for a 33yo who is on almost 20m euros a year salary (Cavani) IF he and PSG BOTH come WAY down then sure, stopgap is fine but I doubt either does, and thus even 18 months of Cavani will cost close to almost 45-50m pounds (fee plus salary) we cannot spend like that especially as £142m Kepa looks like he is a serious potential bust and I (despite it basically being almost a no brainer given his age and poor play where we play him) think we will NOT sell Kante in the summer (which likely is going to fuck us hard in the long run at multiple levels) and dog help us if we miss out on CL again If I'm being honest, I'd have Osimhen ahead of Dembele. I've know bits about him since making his Nigerian debut and he's just gone from strength to strength (42 g/a in 62 games). He just turned 21 as well. There's a plethora of talent that doesn't need to be overpriced because of their nationality or the perceived holy grail, HG.In regards to Cavani, I was all on board getting him for free. We shouldn't even be entertaining the thought if PSG are really demanding £15m+. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we've changed our style of play we've only made one bad signing (unfortunately getting harder to keep hope with Kepa) while Jorginho, Kovacic and Pulisic have all been good and even Higuain served a purpose. The former two have transformed us from the worst midfield in top half to probably the best save for City. More solid windows like that and we're on the right track and early signs are good Lampard has a good judgement in transfers as the two big decisions he's had to make so far (retaining Kova and letting Luiz leave) have turned out to be masterstrokes.

Marvin123 534 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Chelsea would need to agree a fee with PSG, who want as much as £23m and rejected an £8.5m offer from Atletico Madrid this month. Cavani was also offered to Manchester United, who have preferred to sign younger players. (Times) #CFC #MUFC #PSG #Atletico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,182 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Chelsea’s move for Edinson Cavani held back by striker’s wage demands https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/edinson-cavani-chelsea-transfer-news-wages-block-psg-move-a4339936.html Edinson Cavani’s wage demands are threatening to be a stumbling block in Chelsea’s pursuit of the Paris Saint-Germain striker. The Blues are exploring the possibility of signing the Uruguay international after he handed in a transfer request seeking to leave the club this month, despite his existing contract expiring at the end of the season. PSG want around £15million to allow him to depart but the greater problem for his suitors, who also include Atletico Madrid, is Cavani’s reluctance to take a wage cut from his current salary. Cavani earns in excess of £360,000-a-week and it is understood he wants a minimum 18-month contract. That works out at approximately £19m per season and added to a hefty signing-on fee, the total outlay could easily surpass £50m for a player who turns 33 next month. snip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAPHOD2319 4,818 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 The only way the transfer news gets worse for us is if Sancho says he would prefer to go to ManU in the summer. This has gone from thrilled the transfer ban was shortened to complete disappointment at what is available to sign. Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are discounting his ability to play on the wings as well. It is simply not true that he would not. I truly believe that, but of course you are free to disagree. I like my chances of being proven correct. Liverpools system is almost a mirror of the type that Werner thrives in, Bayern is NOT a high tempo press press press team now. Also, Klopp is German, that is a huge plus there. The lad is on pace to account for 70 goals in a 4000 minute season. 50 goals, 20 assists. Firmino turns 30 near the beginning of the season after next, Werner is 4 and half year younger. Liverpool are a bigger and far better club that us atm, with vastly more trophy prospects. I am NOT 100% saying Liverpool is where he ends up, but they are deffo the front runners atm (at least until Barca and RM get involved, and maybe still then. Bottom line for me: The odds are very low Werner ends up here. We are so not the favourite. We almost never sign top 5 in the world (at their position) massive targets. Kante was not regarded as such when we signed him. Nor was Hazard. We certainly were not in an all out brawl with most top teams on the planet to sign them Yet some think we are now magically going to snap our fingers and out of the blue sign (in ONE window as well) 3 such players (Werner, Sancho, Chilwell) Chilwell is our best shot to do so, and ironically also the main one I think we should pass on due to his crazy over-valuation. He is not worth £80m. Bookmark this. I think history will treat me well. Atomiswave, Muzchap and Fernando 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseaFanUK 1,014 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 few things re. Cavani news 1. No way PSG are asking £23m for a player with 6 months left. I think the Times are wrong there 2. How do the Standard suddenly know his wage demands when they didnt even know we wanted him until last night at the earliest, idiots. 3. If Cavani takes a wage cut he can make it up in signing on fees and bonuses. No club, and i mean no club, is going to pay him 360k a week. He knows he will have to compromise Muzchap, Atomiswave and Fernando 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseaFanUK 1,014 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 However, if Le Parisien come out and say he is off to Atletico or only wants them, id probably believe it. The reliable news on this will come from France i suspect Muzchap and Fernando 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
