Chelsea Transfers

We won't sell to them. Not a chance. They're a direct rival for top 4. They refused to sell us players in the past and will continue to do so, there's also interest in him from abroad.

[Superblue 6,372]

The only way I can see Giroud going to Spurs is if we only let them have him on a loan deal for a large fee (say £10m and cover his wages in full) as opposed to permanent, in doing so preventing him from playing against us.

It's not the ideal club to deal with but if we could create a large swing out of it, depleting their budgets whilst swelling ours, then we shouldn't fear selling squad players to Spurs.

we are going to end up letting Giroud walk on a free more than likely

same for all or most all of

Willian (and possibly shit away 20m more quid if we renew his pathetic arse for 2 years)

Pedro

Kenedy

van Ginkel

Drinkwater (or a pittance)

Jamal Blackman 

Azpi eventually

Charly Musonda (or a pittance)

Danilo Pantić (or a pittance)

Lucas Piazon (or a pittance)

Nathan (or a pittance)

and take massive losses on (over either what we paid, what we could have had via timely sales or both)

Baba Rahman
Davide Zappacosta
Tiémoué Bakayoko

Bats

Alonso

Emerson (possibly)

Victor Moses (Inter do NOT have any obligation to buy at all)

Kante (on what we could have gotten for him IF we do not sell him this summer)

And we can get fucked on Mario Pašalić  if Atalanta do not activate his buy clause

 

SHIT BOARD

I don't really get this mentality, if Spurs offer decent money and Oli wants to go there I don't see why we shouldn't.

The reason why they won't sell to us is we're only ever likely go after their top players, bid £10m for Michel Vorm and their "stance" goes flying out the window.

Far as I'm aware we strictly don't do business with Spurs. Levy genuinely has some interesting vendetta against us. 

Mourinho may want Giroud, but I doubt Levy even approached us.

not even Marina is stupid enough to bid £10m for a 37yo (in the beginning of next season), out of contract, hack GK who is shorter than I am (or the exact same height if spuds are not lying about it, which I think they are)

Levy is pissed from the Modric pursuit and unsettling of their best player.

Taking Willian off them at the last minute probably didn't help either.

I don't think there's a no business understanding in place, but dealings with rival clubs are always much more difficult and ego driven as both clubs strive to get the better side of the deal. 

Levy can think all he wants he's some mastermind of the transfer market. When Redknapp was there as manager it genuinely felt like it was Del Boy and Rodney trying to wheel and deal every summer.

[Vesper 29,077]

Chilwell £80m

LB X £30m (or we keep Alonso and just plan on getting fuckall for him when his contract ends, which will be a £45m loss from his non-sale plus be spattered if Chilwell goes down)

DMF (or keep Kante and then start to massively loss huge chunks of his £100m value plus not fill a gaping need, so I am going to say zero spend here, just to prove my overall point)

Sancho £120-130m (minimum)

Winger X £50m

CF (around £50-70m whether Werner (pipe dream) or Dembele)

3rd string CF £10-15m

so that is a gross spend of £310-345m and that is IF we do nothing at the 2nd LB and do nothing at DMF, do nothing at AMF and nothing at GK, nothing at CB, nothing at CMF and also £100m less income if we do not sell Kante

LOLOL

as if we are going to dump in well over 300m in one window (especially if we miss out on CL again) and after we just took a near £100m loss overall for only 4 or 5 (the 3rd string CF costs fuckall) players

Even if we do NOT buy a 2nd winger and just renew Willian for 2 years, it still means around 300m or so, as he will cost 20m in salary and then you are talking about only buying  3 or 4 players for around 300m and still leaving gaps all over and also FUCKS us if we nightmarishly have to rely on Willian for 2 more years (no chance a 4th winger will not play)

 

just showing what we are being set up for by the board and also by the consensus of who are targets and also how much is being shoved off until just one short window

great chance it turns into a pure shitshow if we start failing on the big 3 targets as well

Not worried about lack of signings. Of all the moves made in January, I don't see anyone other than few exceptions like Haaland, Minamino, that look like good deals. (they had release clauses to leave)

Best to wait till the summer and strengthen massively

left back alone shoots your stance down, clearly obtainable upgrades out there and fuckall done, plus concrete offers for our 2 dregs fucking shit on by Marina and her cuntish games

and we should have been ALL over Real for a loan for Jovic (option or not) from before the fucking window

you are in for a rude awakening if you think we can leave it ALL for one window (and many of our targets are going to damn near impossible to pull)

plus lack of perm sales yet again on dogshit

we miss out on CL and we also fail to sell Kante (and keep ramming him down the team's throat in this system) and we miss out on 2 (or all 3) of our giant and crazy pricey targets

and the slide begins for real, especially with another truly cocked-up summer window

Let them. If United get the Fernandes deal over the line then Solskjaer would have spent around £200m in the last 6 months and they still look a long way off the pace. If anything Fernandes joining is only likely to facilitate Pogba leaving in the summer and if that happens it certainly won't make United look any stronger at least on paper.

For a club as 'cheap' as Spurs, they went big in the summer for N'dombele and Sessegnon. The loan move for Lo Celso was always likely to happen because they paid a large loan fee and I think was more to do with pushing deals potentially across transfer windows and accounts. And now spending a sizeable chunk on Bergwijn. With the noose of the stadium being paid off, if they don't get top 4 this season I can't see them spending much next summer unless Mourinho and Levy are prepared to sell one of their bigger assets to raise funds.

I know it's frustrating seeing others make deals and I personally wouldn't mind us bringing in a new attacker to compete with Tammy but I would rather we be aiming for a better calibre of player than both of these are in for at present.

I know it's always gonna be a catch 22 situation and it may be better to not do anything silly but at the same time, I can't help but feel we're playing with fire by not doing anything. 3 days left of this transfer window and we don't seem to be doing anything. We aren't exactly in Leicester's position in the Top 4 race, being 14 points ahead of 5th and all.

That's what it's come down to, people crossing their fingers.

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

Giroud has 6 months left on his deal, an offer of 6-7m say, from anyone, has to be considered.   Or he goes for nothing in June.  I actually could see him go to Spurs.
