Chelsea Transfers

We don’t even seem to be linked with any attacking players anymore, never mind being close to actually signing one. We bid £60m or whatever for Raphinha, failed, and then just….said ‘okay’ and moved on to no alternative?

Is there any attacker left that we are sure will be upgrade than our current options?

This is the important question. There is no one who stands out.

No, our main competitor for Skriniar is PSG.

Monchi holding out for the buyout clause?

[Jype 6,398]

Skriniar would be great but can't see it happening. Even if the club agrees a fee with Inter, there's still PSG to worry about and it can very easily end up the way of Raphinha/Kounde except with PSG this time.

If the club do go after him, Boehly needs to have extensive discussions with Skriniar's agent FIRST before making any offers to Inter to get a guarantee he's actually going to join if the clubs agree on the transfer.

Think this week is going to be totally hectic after TT comments after the Arsenal game. I reckon TB is going to go full tilt this week

Thats the thing, Boehly is new in the footballing world so he has to make those new contacts with agents, players etc. Not very ideal when the squad needs rebuilding, but you just have to deal with it the best you can.

This were the guidance of someone like a Marina or Cech would of been a helping hand but they are on their merry way. TB seems to have left him self exposed if what your saying is true. If TB is ploughing his own furrow here he is going to come up against some serious obstacles as we have already seen. But a business man like him should have some foresight and guidance from within but this whole 1-2 months should be a massive wake up to him and his right hand men on what the football transfer world is like.

If Matt Law's article is anything to go by, that Marina had complete control about players coming in and out then I cant really fault him for relieving her from her position. I agree though, he could have actually used Petrs experience and knowledge. Hopefully Boehly will learn from this and see how tough it is and hire the right person for the job. For this transfer season though, we have to do with what we have now and pray it wont hurt us too much in the future

We should demand a swap deal with Gvardiol.

We wouldn’t bid for a 3rd player this window without first getting a commitment from the man himself, right? Surely we’ve learned our lesson. If we’re going to go for Skriniar we need Tuchel himself on the phone talking to him like he did with Sterling and KK.

Raphinha, De Ligt, Kounde - we are onto the 4th already.
