Not certain we will go for Kounde next summer. Dont forget what most reliable Chelsea journalists reported earlier in the summer.

TT naturally wanted player for LCB role in 3 atb. Club pushed for Kounde because it seems too good chance to miss maybe but since they did not wanted to go over 50m even them did not wanted him that much.

Chalobah played LCB in France so I think TT is perfectly happy with the outcome.

erm

Since summer 2016, so last 5 years plus, he has played a total of 6 games ever at fullback, 5 in a row and at RIGHT BACK, in the COVID July 2020 games with Huddersfield, as an emergency fill in, and then one last season (another emergency fill-in)

he played zero games at left fullback in those 5 seasons, including in France

I said LCB - left central back not full back. In 3atb system Rudi and Zouma played this for us under TT. Zouma is sold. So this is why I said TT will be happy with Chalobah who played this before.

Kounde is perfect for RCB.

but I went back and looked, he only played 7 games at left CB in France

When did 'paperworks' become a word? I realise that language evolves but this particular piece of evolution makes my brain want to go on strike. 🙁

I understand that it is being used by people for whom English is not their first language, and I'm guessing that the equivalent word(s) in their native tongue(s) do/does have plural forms. Still hurts the eyes to read it though.

2 of those 7 games they gave up a total of 7 goals too, 3 against Marseille, and 4 against Lyon

he had one clean sheet as a left CB, versus Angers, and one as a right CB, versus Brest

If we still desperately need a CB after deadline day, we can always sign the slightly less stupid Boateng brother on a free.

Ah ha. Education is good. Thank you.

Chelsea are 40m in the black after that window and shed a lot of wages also. Good business.

[DDA 9,702]

Chiesa in this team with Lukaku and Havertz... Holly shit that would be immense.

Some of these announcements are hilarious.

Is that from Transfermarkt? Because they did not count Guehi deal for some reason. On wiki Chelsea 21/22 season it is around 45m pounds profit. And many loan players fees are not listed. Now Anjorin will make it over 50m.

I see what the fuckers did

they put some of the transfers under Chelsea U23's

and they still have Rom down as cosying £8m more than he actually did (£95.5m, as it was 97.5m minus that 2m solidarity payment we got back)

our actual outlays are so simple to remember 

£100m on the nose

in terms of trans fee, that solidarity kick back, and the £4.5m loan cost of Saul

 

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-Chelsea-u23/transfers/verein/9250/saison_id/2021

 

maybe £3m in unlisted loan rev

so call it £38m in U23 revenue counting sales

then

total rev from sales and loans from Sr team is

around £115m or so, counting loan fees (pure guess) not listed, plus sales

so that is £153m total for both parts of the club so far

minus £100m spent net

yields

in the black for £53m or so

plus we still have those 5 Sr players to sort (some will stay)

RLC, Sarr, Barkley (ugh), Baker, and Musonda

and not all windows are closed to sell or loan

PLUS

Faustino Anjorin is not included in any of that

he is on loan or soon will be to Lokomotiv Moscow

and the deal includes a January 2022 buy option for 20m euros (£17m pounds) with a £34m buyback clause

so that £53m net could well be £70m in the black come January

and again, those 5 Sr players could still all (RLC unlikely) or partially go out

super business

did you expect them to toss together a BAFTA winner in 25 minutes?

lolol

that loan almost collapsed 15 times in last 2 days
