Chelsea Transfers

Recommended Posts

If the likes of Simon Johnson and Liam Twomey are to be beloved we’re now approaching that stage of the window where we’re being linked with bargain targets that nobody has ever heard of or are nowhere near the level required. Similar to a few years ago where we were all panicking at being linked with Andy Carroll and Peter Crouch.

We’re apparently looking at some 8 foot tall mutant from Stuttgart whose name I can’t even pronounce.

Abraham + 100m   =  Kane

55m =  Varane

Then doesn't that bring the argument that we should simply do a Klopp/us in 2020 and wait it out if genuine upgrades aren't attainable?

For example, if we can't get Haaland is any of our realistic striker options at present less of a risk than playing Broja let alone Havertz? Who knows who will have a breakthrough in the next 12 months, the former himself could be one.

Likewise since Hakimi has gone my preference has shifted to promote Livramento.

The auto-correct there. 🤣

And so much for your optimism yesterday...

The daily complaints are upstaging the recycled BS transfer rumors.

Personally I hope we get Tchoumani and call it a summer, I feel like missed the boat with some attainable targets like Sancho, Varane which would've improved us and make up for the lack of a world class striker, hope we don't panic buy for the sake of it.

I really feel that Varane will be outed if Utd sign him. I think he's overrated since he's been playing next to Ramos his whole life. Put him next to Maguire and his true talent will have to show.

Feel like we’ve been over the Liverpool example before. The difference between them waiting it out and ourselves is that they had two attackers who were in world class goal scoring form plus Firmino. They also had world class attacking play from both fullbacks.

It’s easy to sit back and wait it out when you’re a title winning caliber side. When you’re miles and miles off the top of the table like we were (and have been for 3-4 years now) I don’t think we can afford to wait. We’ll surely never be in a stronger position than now coming off European glory and with other competitors for targets strapped for cash.

Welp...

- Five clubs have expressed interest in Bate - West Ham, Leeds, Liverpool, Leicester and Brighton. West Ham and Leeds are the two clubs pushing the hardest and are believed to have made an offer.

- Peart-Harris is the most advanced of the three in terms of securing his departure. Reportedly on the verge of moving to Brentford.

- Livramento is being strongly targeted by Brighton.

- All 3 have one year left on their current contracts and are refusing to sign extensions. All 3 concerned over the chance of first-team football in the long term.

See again

Thought as much. 🤣 Pretty sure the auto-correct can still be turned off, no?

Judging by Simon Johnson said, it seems like Livramento is determined to leave because we still have Azpi and James and the club tried to sign Hakimi and are still interested in Traore.

The period I was referring too was not when they were a title challenging side. 

It was his early spell (also pre Robertson and Trent too) where his team were conceding goals like no tomorow and despite that he still resisted relentless calls to sign any Tom, Dick or Harry to "fix" it.

And unlike us in the forward department those players didn't really have the scope to improve.

Ah. I thought you were talking about 2 summers ago when they made zero signings.

I just don’t really understand why Tuchel wouldn’t give him a shot, especially at the risk of losing him. He’s played with the first team since Tuchel’s appointment and won our YPOTY. Rotating between him and James could be an ideal solution in a position that is hardly a pressing matter.

Not sure if it's really all Tuchel's fault here.

But it does feel like we're back to pre-2019 again when it comes to the young players. We are still all about the here and now and/or buying players from outside. Mount, James etc got somewhat lucky with the transfer ban in 2019.
