Chelsea Transfers

[Pizy 18,516]

The fact that none of the big clubs in the PL are doing much is evidence that it’s just much more difficult these days to pull of significant signings in January. You would’ve thought clubs like United, Arse, Spuds, etc who are in a knife fight for 4th would be super active trying to put themselves in pole position. But none of them are really doing anything at the moment. Liverpool lost Mané and Salah to AFCON and haven’t done anything.

Unless you can target a top player whose contract expires this summer and can pay now to get him early the options are basically nonexistent. The fact that we were interested in Digne but wouldn’t even pay the £23m required to sign him tells you what the clubs’ budget is. They want a super cheap stopgap.

So it’s Emerson or a loan for someone else.

Would be very, very massive for us. 

If the choice I'm sure the majority would want him to stay out of Christensen or Azpilicueta.

Seems like we've recalled Kenedy. Really bizarre decision tbh.

We aren't wasting money & putting ourselves in a hole with another backup option, so I understand it despite being quite surprised.

Alonso was always going to remain first choice IMO.

I think I did post maybe last spring or summer about how Kenedy would do at wingback under Tuchel. 

[Tomo 21,733]

The answer is in Burnley.

Dwight McNeil will be a good wingback and crucially give us some variety with our options.

[Marvin123 488]

Problem is we don't need another LB on the books. Just a temporary cover

Why not? Kenedy offensively offers so much.

[NikkiCFC 8,067]

Kounde is much better but is he 60m better than Sule and Ginter? Because these two are available for free and all can cover RCB, even RB.

Our scouts have a boner for Kounde for some bizarre reason. Another David Luiz. 

[NikkiCFC 8,067]

TT has been impressed with so many players he loaned out in the summer.

[MoroccanBlue 5,320]

Either Tuchel or these reporters are taking the piss.
