Chelsea Transfers

[Pizy 18,368]

Lukaku is almost certainly unmovable this summer unless it’s a loan back to Inter. Werner can go, though. Think there will always be a market for a youngish forward with pace. Be sad to see him go but it’s surely best for both parties that he does.

Hope we go for Dybala. Be perfect for a 2 striker system playing with either Kai or Lukaku.

Werner's high salary could become a stumbling block though. That is of course unless he's willing to lower his demands to get a move.

Dybala only wants Atlético Madrid

Mou said all of these are for sale or not wanted on Roma (big shocked is he said Smalling is untouchable)

some at the bottom are youth, so likely not going to be sold

Gianluca Mancini (Smalling over him?? wtf, so Mou)
Jordan Veretout  
Leonardo Spinazzola  bloody shame he is still injured, BUT he might be back soon, his injury cost Italy the Nations League (IMHO) and WC qualification (for sure) they are SO much better with him (it is like us losing Chilwell or Reece)
Bryan Cristante 
Marash Kumbulla  
Sérgio Oliveira 
Ainsley Maitland-Niles  
Henrikh Mkhitaryan  
Eldor Shomurodov  
Matías Viña  
Amadou Diawara 
Stephan El Shaarawy  
Carles Pérez 
Felix Afena-Gyan 
Nicola Zalewski 
Ebrima Darboe 
Davide Santon
Daniel Fuzato  
Edoardo Bove  
Filippo Tripi

Some people are not being honest with themselves, Lukaku himself said he was intent to stay at Inter, but Tuchel convinced him to come back to Chelsea.

Can’t imagine Lukaku being here next season seeing how apparent it is and how much he is playing recently.

Tuchel wanted Håland, Hakimi. and Tchouameni (not sure about Theo and Chiesa)

absolutely not convinced he actively pushed for Lukaku

The board was the one who wanted Lukaku in the first place according to Liam Twomey. Tuchel didn't suggest Lukaku and just went along with the board.

Assuming it did happen (the source for it was his agent), that was post Håland deal collapsing, and I am sure the board pushed Tuchel to do it.

The board flat out said NO to Tuchel on Tchouameni, that he was too unproven to spend £40-45m or so on.

I rate them fuckall in terms of deals lately, with a handful of exceptions.

Our scouting department has been overall shit for years, we have been incredibly lucky to have signed a few world class players and have some youth break through.

The busts and fucked up deals, non deals, botched sales and buys,(plus bollocksed up contract management) have been legion.

Lukaku was board signing. The same board that was happy to sell three talented youngsters in Tomori, Guehi, Livramento  even though our entire backline was aging and running out of contracts. Yes they wanted to go, but they could have sold them for less money and buyback clause instead of getting big money without buyback clause. We sold promising  youngsters to get Lukaku, who was past it  talentless player that was never good enough in this league. 

The same board has so many not good enough players on their books they can't afford to fit young players or change left wingback when they hopelessly need one. The same board has 40 players on their books but when we suffer injury we do not have steady replacement for the most of our  first eleven. Or they are abysmal. 

When Tuchel stayed without left wingback, crucial player for our system, he got freaking Kenedy. And you are claiming he was backed by the board.

If Marina for the next transfer kitty sells Connor and Broja ( youngsters are the best  sellable assets in this club) you will  assume Tuchel wanted it? Obviously if he stayed he would have approved such diversity but that's only because he can't afford fallouts with the board.

As soon as sanctions took place Tuchel fixated LUkaku on the bench.  That is not coincidence. Pressure from the board was gone.

Again we were linked with Lukaku 2017 onwards. Lukaku was our fix it all comercial signing, albeit second alternative to Halland.

Lukaku was meant to  enable us to win trophies without heavily  investing in defence, midfield and attack. That besides commercial revenue was main objective of the worst signing in recent history.

Here's hoping that one positive of not having Roman's injection of cash is having an effective transfer strategy. 

Wait for the right signing vs going for the wrong one.

At least you've covered ourselves where most are concerned in recent seasons (Tomori being an exception).

I dont think Tuchel convinced him to come back, the money did. I remember something like, if Inter had offered him a new, improved contract, he wouldnt be here.

[Vesper 28,767]

another good CB off the board
