Some get home sick easily and never really perform that well out of their homeland. they are reluctant to go anywhere no superpower football nation so holds onto their best players like Italy does the only clubs atm who have any of their top 25 (MV) players and are not in Italy are PSG and us and I want to take all 3 of the top who are still there, those are my 3 top targets for next summer I would so settle for Barella, Chiesa and then forget Bastoni (as Inter will not sell them BOTH in the same window) and I guess go for the dwarf, it Tuchel and board think Kounde is their man, plus Aurélien Tchouaméni (although I also think we are still obsessed with Rice) We are already (if Anjorin is purchased in January) £70m in the black, and STILL have more players to sell in the coming windows, at least £130m worth or so, inclusive of the 5 dregs we are stuck with plus those ones out on loan) and that is NOT counting possible sales like CHO, or Ziyech, Puli (obviously Chiesa in would mean we sell at least one winger) Alonso, or Kepa, etc so a possible £200m war chest or even much higher if we dump 26 man squad players Barella, Chiesa, Kounte, Tcho would cost around £290m (plus we might buy Saul perm, which might mean no Barella just yet, until we see what happens with Kante and Jorginho down the road, I can wait for Barella another year (so 2023) if that all happens) Chiesa will be INSANELY hard to pull, as will Barella, but we need to shoot for the moon. The last one I would add to the target mix is, as always, Theo for LB, once we dump Alonso. Now that Spinazzola is likely done as top notch player (and he is 30 next season anyway) plus with Nuno Mendes now at PSG, Theo is it for LB's of true quality atm. We obviously do not rate Gosens, nor Raphaël Guerreiro (and he turns 29yo next season). # Player Age Nat. club Market value 1 Federico Chiesa Right Winger 23 £63.00m 2 Nicolò Barella Central Midfield 24 £58.50m 3 Gianluigi Donnarumma Goalkeeper 22 £58.50m 4 Alessandro Bastoni Centre-Back 22 £54.00m 5 Marco Verratti Central Midfield 28 £49.50m 6 Lorenzo Insigne Left Winger 30 £43.20m 7 Jorginho Defensive Midfield 29 £40.50m 8 Lorenzo Pellegrini Central Midfield 25 £36.00m 9 Nicolò Zaniolo Attacking Midfield 22 £36.00m 10 Ciro Immobile Centre-Forward 31 £34.20m 11 Andrea Belotti Centre-Forward 27 £31.50m 12 Domenico Berardi Right Winger 27 £31.50m 13 Manuel Locatelli Defensive Midfield 23 £31.50m 14 Moise Kean Centre-Forward 21 £31.50m 15 Matteo Politano Right Winger 28 £27.00m 16 Gianluca Mancini Centre-Back 25 £27.00m 17 Sandro Tonali Defensive Midfield 21 £24.30m 18 Leonardo Spinazzola Left-Back 28 £23.40m 19 Alessio Romagnoli Centre-Back 26 £22.50m 20 Davide Calabria Right-Back 24 £22.50m 21 Giovanni Di Lorenzo Right-Back 28 £21.60m 22 Manuel Lazzari Right Midfield 27 £18.90m 23 Alessio Cragno Goalkeeper 27 £18.00m 24 Alex Meret Goalkeeper 24 £18.00m 25 Gaetano Castrovilli Central Midfield 24 £18.00m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alabama 1,992 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Barely ship has sailed...The club is playing waiting game for Rice...Am inclined to see how Lacroix develops whether we can try for Kounde in January or in the summer or not...as Lacroix has that little bit of grit tailor made for the premier league in him....

Cheers fellow Chelsea supporters 8 out of 10 as we spent £100m, and (provided Anjorin is purchased in January) brought in around £170m Obviously DMF and CB went a-begging, BUT Saul can help the MF immensely, and we got super lucky with the rise of Trevoh. We can by a CB next year. Rom and Saul are massive players, both in quality, and filling in a need. We still need to somehow loan out or sell the 5 dregs (4 if you leave RLC in the main side mix) especially Barkley and Sarr. Not worried much about Musonda and Baker.

Vesper 30,224 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Duncan Castles, what a plonker. He said over and over that Aurelien Tchouameni was in the bag for Manure. So many of these frauds exposed this window need to be stricken from ALL sites. Atomiswave and Muzchap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,952 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I absolutely think we’ll go back in for Koundé. Maybe even in January depending on the health of our CB’s at the time. And he was almost certainly being targeted as a RCB not a LCB. He will be viewed as the long term replacement for Azpi and would’ve slotted in perfectly there. Our issue now could be that there could be more suitors going forward whereas we had a free run at him this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milka 3,393 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Chelsea have good relationship with Atletico Madrid last years so this probably played a big role in finalizing the Saul deal . We have done so many business with them recent years . Sevilla on the other hands ,are full of shit . They did the same bullshit with Dani Alves to us in 2007 . NEVER FORGET .

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Can we stop whining about losing out on Kounde? The club was 100% to pull the plug after Sevilla got cocky. We might have dodged a huge bullet here, apart from his diminutive stature he has other red flags which i would have loathed to see at the club, so I can't deny that getting Saul but missing out on Kounde was my absolute dream scenario for deadline day. Next year there will be better (and taller) CBs available again for less money. I really hope the club and TT widen their horizon about the cb options on the market.
