Chelsea Transfers

[NikkiCFC 8,294]

But some of the comments are like today is 1st September. We will sign players! And we are only interested in top, expensive players. 

EURO just happened. 

Tuchel wanted to see some players in pre season before making decisions. 

We need to sell players also. 

Many reasons why nothing happened. 

City, Liverpool, Bayern, Juventus, Inter also signed no one. 

I am totally relaxed. Our transfers since sacking Conte have been great and Marina is perfect! 

City also want only Kane and Grealish. Deals like that don't happen overnight.

Bbc sport reporting Utd signing Varane for 34m. That is a steal for a very good CB. I would say he is better than Zouma and they are valued the same.

Not really and it got worse when the Emmanuel guy left that was scouting for the loan army. She is good at squeezing the best deal possible but has little to no football knowledge. She has learnt from the flops, but still needs a director (Cech) to suggest targets and help evaluate their value and suitability for the club.

Can't believe people on here are shitting themselves because United signed Varane🤣

We did sign players that summer and if that didn't drill home the message that we shouldn't sign for the sake of signing then nothing will.

Thankfully we seemed to have learned/Tuchel is doing it differently to Conte.

I liked how we used to sign 2 or 3 youngsters for the loan army, knowing full well they had a slim chance of ever making it into the team. Was still nice finding out who they were and keeping up with them over loans.

Don’t think anyone’s worried about Varane on his own. People just wonder why United, who already finished above us somewhat comfortably, are plugging the few holes they had in their team whilst we haven’t yet. Is Varane as amazing as lots of people are hyping up? No. But he’s way better than Lindelof.

To be fair mate I'm better than Lindelof so ditch that comparison. As for Varane, I send anyone to go and watch him this season, especially the CL, he was a fucking cart horse and looked like he needed to untie the caravan he was carrying nine times out of ten.

Watch him in this league.....fucking spanner.

[milka 3,390]

Well , he is free agent better than Danny Ings  or Andy Carroll  😅

bring him back when cannot sign any  good striker

Yeah, lots of people on Twitter are acting as though Varane is VVD or prime John Terry which he isn’t close to.

Varane has been suspect for around 2 seasons now. I think he is a good player but he was way overhyped between 19-23 and has continued to dine out on that hype ever since. 

That said, he is quite a bit better than Lindelof so Utd are improved with him.

This idea too that we're throwing Tuchel under a bus I find laughable. 

All of the reports suggest Tuchel wanted the opportunity to run the rule over all the returning players before making decisions. A number of reports also suggest he's been impressed in particular with Sterling, RLC and Broja. It isn't unreasonable to suggest Tuchel has told the board only the absolute top targets or don't bother, he'll utilise the loan army to fill missing spots. Hopefully we can hit him one of his main targets but I don't see it creating an issue between him and board if we don't.

At the risk of sounding repetitive, the reports also directly quote Tuchel as saying that he absolutely sees the need of bringing in new signings.

I won't say that the club threw him under the bus just because they failed to pull off a tough signing like Haaland, but there will be scrutiny if we haven't looked at alternatives despite allowing Giroud and Gilmour to move on.
