Fabrizio Romano: Chelsea FC not considering selling Hakim Ziyech

He clearly does not have any place under Tuchel in the starting XI. It's better to sell him and invest thats money in the needy area.

No-one will buy him for 30m. Even Milan will want to loan him maybe with a fee. And we would need a replacement while he is on loan.

Translation: we are desperate to sell him to recoup some of the money spent, but we've got no offers yet, so we leaked some nonsense to agents/reporters so that potential buyers remember Ziyech actually exists.

Come on Tuchy pick some of your ex players. Mbappe? Marquinhos? 

 

Can only dream of Marquinhos. Would give flexibility in midfield and in defence

Gotta trust Petr with GK recommendation. Pavlenka for 2nd or 3rd option is the only question.

Would be 2nd choice no way Chelsea would buy him as a 3rd keeper he only comes in if Arrizabalaga heads out on Loan.

29 year old RB playing LB who has only become a good player in the last year or so? Yeah, can't see any problems with that.

Hopefully Kepa gets a loan. However, if not I suspect 2nd. All he needs to do is have a 55% save to shot ratio and he is ahead of Kepa.

I've seen the reports for Barca regarding Pjanic and Umtiti.

Is there anyone in the Barca squad who wouldn't necessarily be bullet proof for them but possibly a good option for us?

Even on a loan move if they're looking to reduce their wage bill, is there someone we could bring in from them for a season to cover an area in the squad that needs an extra body?

Will be most probably operated on by Sakari Orava's protege Lasse Lempainen in Finland. Wish him a swift recovery and hopefully he will be back to his best.

Very few players on Barca interest me 

M. ter Stegen

Ronald Araújo

Sergiño Dest

Emerson Royal

Frenkie de Jong

Ilaix Moriba

Pedri 

It is crazy how far they have fallen, and of the only 3 truly BIG stars on there, one, Pedri, is a 18yo.

From the anus of Duncan Castles:

Chelsea HAVE NOW TOLD ARSENAL TARGET THEY WANT TO SIGN HIM, CLAIMS JOURNALIST

https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2021/07/04/ben-white-arsenal-Chelsea-brighton/

Duncan Castles has claimed on The Transfer Window podcast that Chelsea are now interested in signing Arsenal target Ben White.

The well-known and well-respected journalist 😹 has reported that Chelsea have notified White that they want to sign him from Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer transfer window.

The journalist has also said that Arsenal have improved on their offer to Brighton and has shared details about it. 

Castles said on The Transfer Window podcast, as transcribed by The Express: “My understanding is that this week they (Arsenal) have improved their offer, increased the initial down payment and made the schedule of the payments over the course of the contract more attractive to Brighton. But as yet there is not an agreement between the two clubs on the transfer fee.”

The journalist added, as transcribed by The Express: “We’ve told you there’s been interest and a conversation with Manchester City. I now understand that Chelsea have notified the player of their interest in signing him.”

😜

Barca are truly the worst run club in the history of football when you look at total money shit away.

If a firm in the US or UK was run like they are, the directors would likely be facing prison time for fiduciary fraud, and even if they faced no criminal charges, they would be facing massive civil lawsuits.

Example:

They have spent (just ONE player) over £70m (over €82m) on Miralem Pjanić in the last 10 months (transfer fee + add-ons + salary) and now are supposedly willing to let him walk on a free.

It is just insane.

ROFLMAO

We are crazy if we pick up his salary (around £300K PW guaranteed for the next THREE years, the last year in which he turns 34yo).

Pessi is a fool to re-up there, unless he simply doesn't care anymore and just wants the payday (which is entirely possible, he is one greedy little cunt).

“At the moment”: Romano names Chelsea’s priority transfer target to strengthen midfield

https://astamfordbridgetoofar.com/2021/07/04/declan-rice-is-a-priority-target-for-Chelsea-claims-fabrizio-romano/

 

Declan Rice is a priority target for Chelsea claims Fabrizio Romano

Speaking on his Twitch stream (h/t Express), reputed journalist and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Chelsea have made West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice a priority this summer.

Rice has been on the radars of Chelsea for the longest time now. An ex-academy trainee, the England international left the Blues for West Ham in 2014 where he completed his footballing education before bursting onto the scenes in the Premier League as a teenager.

Since then, Rice has grown into one of the best defensive midfielders in the league and has established himself as a permanent fixture in the England national team as well. Indeed, the West Ham star has been brilliant in the ongoing UEFA Euro 2020, helping the Three Lions make it to the semi-finals of the competition.

 

And, Romano has claimed that Chelsea have made the former academy man their priority to strengthen the midfield this summer. Although, he does mention that the Hammers’ valuation could make things difficult. (h/t Express)

“At the moment, Chelsea’s priority in midfield is Declan Rice. If they will sign a midfielder, Declan Rice will be one of the biggest possibilities. Then, they have to find an agreement with West Ham, and it won’t be easy because West Ham are asking for a lot of money for him.”

Romano also claimed that AS Monaco’s Aurelien Tchouameni is someone that the club could look at as an alternative to Rice in case a move does not pan out.

“We have to keep an eye on Tchouameni as a possibility for many Premier League clubs, not just for Chelsea. We will see. At the moment there’s nothing imminent.”

Would say Pjanic. I wanted or was hoping the club would sign him when he was at Lyon but that obviously didn't happen and I think the ship has sailed now.
