Chelsea Transfers

[Vesper 29,171]

I am sure I will be called a conspiracy-pusher, but I am sticking to the Ziyech partial sabotage narrative (not the main thing, but it certainly did not help us with Hakimi at all).

I want that fucker gone for a multiplicity of reasons. His numbers were mostly pure shit Dutch farmer league illusions, and he has a shit attitude (we were so warned on that front by Ajax followers).

FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I fucking knew it like 3 days ago, there was a huge turn in so many DIFFERENT sources, all with different add-ins to the narrative, and the type of information and backstories that when I see them, I know we are going to lose out.

And I (and others) got mocked as doomsayers for saying it out loud.

I am not quite yet there with Håland at all, BUT I am seeing some bad things (such as Real agreeing to personal terms, which means they are interested and he is damn well aware they are serious).

It was known for days now he isn't coming people were just defensive and naive, now pretending our interest wasn't even serious.

All I can say is Ziyech is a fucking disgrace.

So you being negative on here on the time what will it change? Do you think Marina and Roman will go oh no R2D2 on talk Chelsea is upset we have to change our strategy?

Let’s be real with ourselves here. Hakimi would’ve been an extreme luxury signing. He’s not a player and it’s not a position we were crying about or desperate to strengthen. It’s why a lot of people were surprised when we were first linked.

This isn’t like missing out on a top striker or CM that we’re more desperate for.

[Vesper 29,171]

Next up for PSG is Camavinga. I am even more sure that he goes there than I became on Hakimi. He has stated PSG is dream club now, atm. 

Donnarumma

Hakimi

Camavinga

All 3 are WC or potentially WC (Camavinga, who is so unique, like Hakimi and tbh, Donnarumma are too), all are young, all are the type of players who will simply get better and better, and are the types of moes that I can SO see Mbappe's head being turned and renewing, which opens the door next summer (if he does not move this summer) for a SERIOUS power play move for Håland.

Plus they are bringing in Ramos, another massive name.

I also think this window they just might make a move for Varane (although Manure seem to be the leaders).

Them and Real (starting next season for sure I wager) are the biggest threats to pull the biggest names out there. Barca is so in the mud financially, I cannot say the same about them, and Citeh is not really fighting over the players we are after (at least not atm). Manure will be in the Håland market for sure too and Pool.

It's a forum, I'm just expressing my frustration not like I can do anything else. Besides that Marina is known to be a moral killer did so plenty of times before not like we haven't got used to it, she got the odd transfer right but most of the times she is average to bad. Wouldn't even mention her but saw some posts a couple weeks ago about some posters praising her for doing nothing.

As for strategy, I'd love to hear what that strategy really is because Matt reported of Hakimi interest for months now.

Disagree IF we are playing a back 5. He is streets ahead of Reece as a RWB (he is the best on the planet there, literally).

Hell, look at Tuchel's ACTIONS (not words) (Azpi over Reece at wingback as the games became bigger and bigger).

Not even that disappointed we didn't get him I'm more disappointed in knowing what comes next, wasting money on a pub player like Traore, hope I'm wrong and that's not the case.

You'd hope the club would've learned from the 2017-18 debacle. One of the reasons we appointed Cech no doubt.

Fucking rotten luck with Silas blowing out his knee, he would have gotten me extremely excited as a RWB, so big (1.89m), so fast, and a better finisher than Hakimi (13 goals in only 2100 minutes, plus 5 assists, all but one goal were against Bundesliga topflight teams).

[Pizy 18,516]

Let’s see if the Adama interest is genuine or not. I seem to be alone on this forum but I actually do think he’d be a solid option. At his best he’s literally unstoppable and has shown such form in this league just last year. 
 

As an inexpensive option I don’t think it’s the worst idea.

It's not the player but the club not willing to spend 80m. Say what you want but Chelsea got beaten by PSG to sign Hakimi.

This is proof that FFP is absolute bs and that we have no advantage when it comes to net spend. Teams like PSG and City can still spend a lot without any consequences. The fact that Ligue 1 had issues with TV deal money, and all the clubs are in crisis is a joke. Not only that but PSG didn't even win Ligue 1 and bottled the CL as well, yet they still have the money to splash 80m on a RWB.
