Chelsea Transfers

I really wanted Zaha a couple of years ago when we were heavily linked and love him as a player. But he’s just about to turn 30 in a few months and his game is totally dependent on pace and athleticism which could start to decline sharply very soon.

Doesn’t seem like a wise buy at all at this point. Not even if it’s a cheap deal.

Bowen would be dream.Already proven in league, english player. But he is second most important player for WHU with Rice. No easy deal.
Sane sounds okey as he is also proven but if he has big salary... no thanks/

Bilva... but this not happend.

Leao, there was some rumours earlier but he will cost big money.
Sadly after Raphinha not many good options 😕 

and (I edited him off already) Oyarzabal is out for months with a bad knee injury

Leao is no good for many reasons atm, especially as he never plays on the RW and is a right footer, we need a lefty

Silva is not happening, you are correct

soooooooooooo

its Diaby or Bowen by process of  elimination for a lefty RWer

and go for Danjuma for CF (bonus is winger depth), if not, just grab a cheapie for this season

no clue what we are doing at RCB, we obviously are not going to go for Škriniar this year (or ever if he renews) and Fofana is insanely expensive, maybe revisit a bargain buy of Maxence Lacroix (a bit desperation there I do admit, BUT he is still young (22) and has a massive potential)

for DMF and box to box I am convinced we should make a move for Kouadio Koné as a bargain price, HUGE upside smart buy

Joakim Mæhle for Right-Back

FIXED IT

Is that supposed to be a dig at Tuchel? You won't find any manager in the world today that has more pull than Guardiola so there's no shame in 'losing out' to him.

Besides, didn't we just nab Cucurella when City had been after him all summer? Sure they weren't willing to pay as much in transfer fee as Boehly did but Cucurella could easily just have gone the route of Raphinha/Kounde and keep strict with his demands to go to a specific club and there's nothing Brighton could have done but ultimately lower their asking price to make it happen. Instead he spoke to Tuchel and was happy with our project too and ended up joining.

Kounde

please

I BEG of all the board

we DID NOT lose out to Barca on Kounde

we pulled the plug, got cold feet (thank fuck)

Monchi confirmed this over and over, as did the the Sevilla president, Jose Carmona

we DID, disastrously, lose out to them on both Raphinha and Dembele

all these dreg buys and refused sales over the years are biting a nice 10 kilos of flesh out our arse

we are still the most complicated major club in the world (especially when the stadium situ is tossed in like a 2 billion pound hand grenade), although Barca are in more chaos atm, same for Manure I wager

Wonder if we ever went all in on Dembele?

It doesn’t seem we were proactive at all when it comes to upgrading our attack. We randomly made a bid for Raphina when he agreed to terms with Barca for a while. Both Lukaku and Werner forced their way out, I think both of them could still be here if they didn’t make a fuss.

BTW what happened to Maxence Lacroix, for a moment there were quite a hype around him (and the fact we want him) but then all died 

he had a bit of a regression, as did all of Wolfsburg, but I just mentioned him as a cut-rate price/high upside option

Given the size of the bid, I don't think the Raphinha bid was random or not much thought had been put into it.

The problem was the sanctions left us in limbo to be able to put any work into a deal for the months leading up to the transfer window. In that time Barca had put a proposal to him.

I think the club played the deal right and in the only way possible really, even at risk of being burnt. We went in and agreed a deal with Leeds which put a lot of pressure on Barca to put up or shut up and I think we were probably confident Barca couldn't get a deal done which would leave us free to get him.

Disappointed because I think he's a player that would have done very well for us and the combination of him and Sterling would have been a very good upgrade in the attacking positions. I think from a proactive standpoint the issue is there doesn't seem to be a huge amount of quality currently on the market in attacking positions and even younger players you could perhaps take a bit of a calculated gamble on would cost huge transfer fees.
