Seriously, who gives a fuck what others think about our transfers?

Precisely!!!

"IF" the new recruits perform then mid season or end of the season there would be another survey titled "Which of the summer transfers were a success ..."

Thomas Partey’s father says he waited for Chelsea’s offer despite Arsenal transfer

https://www.thechelseachronicle.com/transfer-news/thomas-parteys-father-says-he-waited-for-chelseas-offer-despite-arsenal-transfer/

Thomas Partey’s father, Jacob, has confirmed Chelsea were interested in signing his son prior to the midfielder’s deadline-day move to Arsenal.

There wasn’t really a race for the 27-year-old’s signature in the summer. Atletico Madrid clearly didn’t want to sell. The only way to sign him was to pay his release clause, which was reportedly £45 million.

A report from The Telegraph said Chelsea sent their scouts to watch the Ghana international with Frank Lampard looking for a defensive midfielder.

But the report added the Blues were only going to make a move if they could sell some fringe players, which they failed to do. Arsenal then triggered Partey’s release clause on deadline day.

However, according to Partey’s father, the midfield enforcer could have been a Chelsea player. He said his family were waiting for an offer from a “bigger team” than Arsenal.

His father Jacob told Ghanaian outlet Joy Online: “We actually weren’t disturbed by anything because we hoped a bigger team [would] come for Partey.

“We were aware of the [other teams that were interested] – Juventus, Chelsea and so forth.

“So about all these, we knew God was with us.”

The reason Victor Moses' latest loan has been delayed and his deadline to seal move from Chelsea

https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/reason-victor-moses-latest-loan-19092303

The 29-year-old has until Saturday to complete a switch to Spartak Moscow

Victor Moses' loan move to Spartak Moscow is not in jeopardy despite delays over the wing back's medical.

The 29-year-old has verbally agreed to join the Russian club on a season-long loan that will see him sign a one-year contract extension at Chelsea as a result of his current deal running out next summer.

As first reported by Goal, Moses has agreed in principle to join Spartak after Inter Milan did not pick up an option to buy after he spent last season on loan in Serie A.

Moses joined Chelsea from Wigan Athletic in the summer of 2012 and thrived during Antonio Conte's title-winning season but he has already had five loans, including three different Premier League clubs, two seasons at Fenerbahce and the spell at Conte's Inter.

Last month Frank Lampard said that Moses was not part of the club's coronvirus testing group and would be looking for a move.

"We have a bubble at the training ground with the first-team squad, which Victor hasn’t been part of. I know Victor well and we will see how that develops," the head coach said.

Chelsea, who have 30 players already out on loan, are still trying to find new homes for Danny Drinkwater, Jake Clarke-Salter and Baba Rahman.

The latter has interest from a number of Championship clubs, including Watford and Middlesbrough, and they have until Friday to confirm moves.

The Russian transfer window shuts on Saturday. Spartak are joint-top with Zenit St Petersburg, accuring 21 points from 10 games.

Gimenez maybe. But Haaland?  What's Romano basing that on?

He probably picked it up from agent talks. When you think about it, it makes sense, Giroud will leave, Tammy doesn't seem good enough, while Werner can play on the wings as well, maybe even switch to 4-4-2 if Frank wants to change it up.

Gotta love how Havertz is placed in flop list after 3 games and decent showings but Partey is one of the best deals despite not playing a single game for Arsenal yet.

Haaland would end up in one of the Manchester clubs ... Dont see him coming to Chelsea

Imagine missing on Haaland because of Rice price, would be livid.

Anyways that release clause is available only from 2022 so we might need to overpay next summer to have any chance of landing him since United will focus on defense, Real will go for Mbappe, maybe City will be in for him as well but we have a chance.

Also wasn't it reported that we're willing for negotiate with Mino Raiola again?

Being a huge Lampard admirer is no factor ... Chelsea already has 2 young strikers/CF what is the point in getting another one. City are on a look out for a striker while United were out to get him initially as per rumors ... Thats what it is based on

and now rumors of much higher quality (fabrizio romano) are saying we want to sign him so....

We would let go of Tammy in the blink of an eye if we had the chance to sign Haland. (love Tammy but the truth is the truth)

And of course being a huge lampard admirer plays a role lol. Did you not listen to werner, chillwell, havertz, silva who all credited lamps as the main reason they came (among other reasons of course). Of course neither of us know for sure where he'll end up but to categorically state that "Haaland would end up in one of the Manchester clubs" is ridiculous imo

How is this even comparable? On paper, yeah, Haaland is obviously the much more fancier name and player than Rice but if you look at what we need in this team, we need a defensive midfielder more urgently than a striker. 

Personally, I don't believe this Haaland rumor one bit - especially if people are gonna base it off a quote - and I would be more curious to see how the current team develop and play out before we start to worry about next summer's potential transfer targets.

it's not based on a quote (although he did say that), it's based on fabrizio romano's latest podcast episode...

Don't see why we couldn't get both next summer, especially if we manage to sell some unwanted players like jorginho, alonso, palmieri, michy, barkley etc...

(not saying it's gonna happen but it is in now way beyond the realm of possibility)
