Rudiger just reached it. Gvardiol would also block the development of Colwill (who I don't rate that much tbh). So Gvardiol and Kounde are the optimum signings as they can both cover WB if necessary?

You don't need to imagine, he's played in one for the last 10 months. Hashishi, Vesper and Strike 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they really going to agree to let both of their best CB’s go at once? Well to be fair, we're letting 4 of our defenders go at once this year 😛 Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just happened to be unlucky to be the club fully owned by a Russian with links to Putin no less. Club gets sanctioned and we can't renew important contracts. Sevilla are getting 35m for Carlos and 68m for Kounde if we meet his release clause. I'd say they got a really cool 100m which they will spend less than half of on new CBs. They have a good DoF and recruitment strategy (unlike us). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would replace Jorgi with him in an instant. I do worry about him adapting to PL like saul (although he was already washed up). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is more skilled than Pedri. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea_4_eva 1,182 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Gavi seems like he will always have Barca in his mind and if we somehow get him, I see him sometime in the future going back.. ala Cesc and Arsenal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cannot afford another Guehi. If we sign 2 centre backs to go alongside Silva, Trev and Colwill I'd be happy with that centre back group. Especially if we get a viable second right wing back too as James can fill in at RCB too when required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDY 1,290 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Buying Gvardiol who is the exact same profile as Colwill (LCB in a 3, similar age, left footed) would no doubt in my mind signal the end of Colwill at Chelsea. We really can't carrying on making the same mistakes over and over surely. Signing someone like Koulibaly who can play central CB and LCB in a 3, and also Kounde I guess is the most likely for RCB. Those two and Colwill coming back covers all departures and brings much needed experience. Having Koulibaly who can play in the middle is definitely something we need as we can't rely on Silva to play every game at his age. If this happens I can see Colwill having a similar first season to Reece James' first, with us starting the season with Koulibaly-Silva-Kounde but ending it with Colwill-Koulibaly-Kounde.

chelsea_4_eva 1,182 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Read some reports saying that Grvadiol is happy to stay and in no rush for a move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,928 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 See our name has been linked with Pau Torres again. Personally, he doesn’t impress me at all. He looks like kind of a lanky, awkward CB who is a bit sluggish. He just screams average to me. Doesn’t feel Chelsea quality to my eyes. He looks nowhere close to as impressive as Gvardiol. Let United blow €50-60m on him. Has flop written all over him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Have not even recovered from the Lukaku failure and we are already throwing huge lumps of money on the next misfit. If the Kounde rumours come true, this menas the club has learned little out of previous failures even under a new ownership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
