Honestly we have a solid chance. Utd have owners transition. Liverpool just spent on Gakpo and is in for Argentinian from Brighton who is cheaper. Barca is settled with world class young MFs. Real also have Tchoualmani, Camavinga and Valverde. Plus they are in for Jude. 

Make a full transition to 4231. 

Caicedo from Brighton and Enzo deep with Enzo having permission to go up. Nkunku in front. Vlahovic and Leao should be targets up top. We have Havertz, Sterling... Plenty of options to mix. 

VVD I heard played major role in bringing Gakpo. We need Kova to do the same with Gvardiol. We can also play 433 with Kova Enzo and Caicedo. That would be amazing MF if front 3 players score tons of goals. 

I remember mentioning that same set up. I wanted Judge but I realize might be harder. 

But we can Caicedo and someone like Enzo we would be good in the mid.

that is around £525m or so spend

lol

good luck with that, especially as we may well have no CL to offer

at least you didn't say Bellingham too

and we need a RB (£30m to £40m or so), GK (£40 to £60m or so, depending on which one), and another CB (Badiashile?) soon (£35 to £40m or so)

£630m to £665m total spend, hell, make it £666m 

and that's not counting all the new and coming youth buys, which kick it to over £700m likely

Badiashile will join Chelsea’s first team immediately, here we go soon. (@FabrizioRoma­no)

I am on twitter and I see no new tweet by him that says a 'here we go' or 'here we go soon'

these are his last two that mention Badiashile

A midfielder of any kind in January seems extremely unlikely so anyone linking us with one is just getting our hopes up. The proverbial decks will be cleared in the summer and that’s when we’ll move for one or more. 

For me, today's game further confirms my opinion that Zakaria should and will be used more in the second half of this season.

With all the midfield talk, we have a first hand opportunity to really check on him and make a long term assessment on him because I've no doubt we could go back to Juventus and get him at a significantly cheaper deal if we want him permanently.

In any case Marina didn't say that Tchou was not ready 2 years ago.

 

https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/Chelsea/transfer-talk/news/Chelsea-rejected-chance-to-sign-aurelien-tchouameni_495052.html

According to football.london, Chelsea identified Tchouameni as a potential target and years of work behind the scenes has be put in to build a relationship with the midfielder and his entourage.

The report adds that the Blues were one of the frontrunners to recruit the Frenchman and the prospect of representing the European champions would seemingly have appealed to the youngster.

However, The Telegraph claims that senior figures at Stamford Bridge, including former sporting director Marina Granovskaia, were not convinced that Tchouameni was ready to make the next step in his career and they were reluctant to spend big on the midfielder.

Chelsea eventually passed up on the chance to sign Tchouameni and instead recruited Saul Niguez on loan from Atletico Madrid on deadline day.

Niguez, however, ultimately struggled in West London and endured a forgettable temporary spell at the club, starting only 11 of his 23 appearances across all competitions.

Boehly bemused by Granovskaia call not to pursue Tchouameni over ‘level’ concern at Chelsea

https://www.football365.com/news/boehly-bemused-granovskaia-not-pursue-tchouameni-level-concern-Chelsea

Todd Boehly reportedly ‘does not understand’ Marina Granovskaia’s decision not to pursue a deal for Aurelien Tchouameni.

The 22-year-old – who was reportedly at the top of Liverpool’s wishlist – moved to Real Madrid from Monaco for £72m in the summer.

The midfielder has already made a positive impression on the La Liga side, starting seven of their eight games in all competitions, all of which they’ve won.

Chelsea were heavily linked with a move for Tchouameni in the summer of 2021, with manager Thomas Tuchel a big admirer and director Marina Gravovskaia talking to his representatives.

But they decided not to make a move for the France international as, according to Sport, ‘they were not convinced he could have an immediate impact on Tuchel’s team’.

They didn’t make an offer at the time and didn’t go back in for him this summer as Madrid pounced.

With Tuchel still keen to add to his ranks Chelsea instead signed Saul Niguez on a season-long loan from Atletico Madrid, presumably as they believed he could make the ‘immediate impact’ they so desired.

Chelsea are prepared to pay a club-record transfer fee to Benfica in order to bring Enzo Fernandez to the Premier League next month. An offer of in excess of €127M has been proposed. Chelsea hope Fernandez will push for an immediate move.

They can have him

So who should we get for the left sided CB now? We need help now, did you watch KK struggle again, in the Bournemouth game?

these are the top left footer CBs remotely available as of now, or in the summer (or if he does have that release clause, Gvardiol in summer 2024)

no way some would be sold for a January move

Josko Gvardiol  (the best option BY FAR, but he very likely is not available until the summer, and IF he does have that release  clause for 2024, he likely wont leave in the this coming summer barring some insane 130m or so quid offer)
Alessandro Bastoni  (will never leave in summer if Skriniar does)
Pau Torres (I can hear the howls now if we drop big cash on him)
Benoît Badiashile
Aymeric Laporte (is too old for the money Citeh will demand, and his pace seems to have went too much, not that he was ever a speed burner)
Evan Ndicka (my choice, and he is free in the summer, so a toekn bid for January would work)
Nathan Aké  (really?, again?)
Piero Hincapié 
Gonçalo Inácio

drop off


Castello Lukeba (was 19yo until 10 days ago)

drop off


Strahinja Pavlovic 
Max Kilman 
Alessio Romagnoli (that ship has sailed)
Iñigo Martínez  (but turns 32 before this season ends)
Facundo Medina 
Attila Szalai  
Abdou Diallo  
Mario Hermoso
Abakar Sylla

Maehle and Dumfries look like the obvious choices. We will have 2 good players for both FB positions but I don't want to spend 60m on a backup when the midfield needs a revamp.

Denzel Dumfries (who I approve of for a buy) is the most expensive available RB out there

in fact, counting ALL right-backs, only 5 more (actually 4 as Kimmich is now a DMF, but I list him anyway) on the planet would cost more

(the top one of all, Reece, we already have, so not listed)


Achraf Hakimi   
Joshua Kimmich (he was a RB , the best in the world, for years)
Trent Alexander-Arnold   
João Cancelo   
Diogo Dalot

What sort of midfielder is Enzo comparable to? Haven’t payed close attention. Paying £100m or more for a midfielder who isn’t already a superstar seems nuts.

He's a South American DM so similar to fabinho and casemiro. He can also play as a box to box mf as well though.

The problem is he plays rwb so definitely isn't as defensively sound as James. I think he would get caught out in the prem. Other 4 are definitely not availible so it must be him or drop off to someone like maehle.
