Chelsea Transfers

[Pizy 18,906]

Can't say I've ever seen Mendy play nor Rennes, but they did finish 3rd in the league so I'm guessing they were a good side. Which would hopefully mean he's used to playing in a good setup and not coming from some tiny minnow and will be overwhelmed.

He's also a fucking giant at 6'6. Would be nice having a Courtois sized keeper again.

I have watched Rennes vs Lille and Maignan looked better than Mendy.

Yeah I haven't seen him play but being 6 ft 6 makes me have more faith in him automatically.
As I have said from day 1 kepa just doesn't look big enough.
He might still be shite but taking a punt and signing someone will be better than not

Why are we signing so many players and there isn't even one announcement yet . Or are we waiting for one big *** nike promo video with Havertz, Chilwell, Thiago and maybe even Werner and Ziyech in it? In that case I'm more then willing ot wait another 2 weeks 

[Jype 6,398]

Mendy only conceded 19 goals in 24 games at Rennes last season before the season was cut short. Previous year 42 conceded in a promoted side, which is not bad either.

Can't say I know anything more than that about him but if he's done really well for two different teams in the last two seasons he could be quality. Looks quite physical so I'm just guessing but he could be a good commander of the penalty box too, which would immediately improve the set-piece defending.

I'd take a well-scouted unknown keeper at around 20m ahead of another big money gamble anytime. Less pressure due to price and after Kepa disaster people should be rather easily impressed so it'd probably do good for the new keepers confidence levels. Silva and Chillwell should improve the defense too which could make the keeper's job easier.

Rennes were reported to be interested in a loan for Tomori so maybe a loan deal would sweeten the negotiations a little.

Because they still have to do medicals, which are not completed

What a joke so Havertz isn't anywhere near close to being done.

Are you new to football??

The obsession is kinda funny though.

He should have a flashing light on him in case of low flying planes

I think the expectation is that we'll hear something about all of these targets by Friday, right? The Chilwell reports said something about "within 3 days he'll be a Chelsea player." Think that was Monday. Thiago Silva will apparently have his medical tomorrow. There was some kind of deadline in regards to Havertz on the 28th right? Which is Friday. Can't recall what that deadline was, Bayer resume training or off to German team duty.

Hopefully not too much longer. If things advanced as far as was reported by Romano and Falk, it's a bit weird how paperwork is taking so long, though. Maybe the club really is planning a flashy triple announcement.

Somebody here said that Mendy blocks the ball back into play on most of his saves. I went back and looked at his 2019/20 saves, that could be a problem in the PL.

Are his hands real? 

[Atomiswave 6,117]

City aint got shit on us, everyone knows how artifcial they are, if them arabs leave them today they are so fucked, we wont if RA sells. We are global and proven......its a mismatch.

When was the last time you saw them fill their stinking stadion? Yeah me neither.

I don't think the deadline matters anymore if everything is already agreed between the clubs and it's only a matter of completing the paperwork and Havertz having a medical. They already know he's not going to be their player anymore so even if the move isn't officially signed and sealed before Friday I doubt they're expecting him to show up for pre-season.

But Havertz is going to Germany duty early next week so I'd assume both clubs want the deal done before that. I'm guessing confirmation on Friday, the club probably want to do some social media spectacle to milk everything of the signing so in addition to the medical, contract signing etc. it probably takes a couple more days.

As long as he actually makes the saves he's already better than Kepa.

For around ~20m the club could do a lot worse I think. For that price he's probably not too high profile to be reduced to 2nd choice if he fails to impress and selling is also a lot easier. So if the club (Lollichon, Cech etc.) have scouted him well and think he's good enough I'm more than happy to give it a try, even tho I know nothing about him. I'm just happy if Kepa isn't first choice keeper at Brighton on 14th September.

Out of all the saves in that video only 2 (possibly 3) were parried into any real danger.
