We also have some players in starting lineup that want 300k per week but in reality if we put them on market best they could hope for is exactly teams like AV, Everton coming for them. So they have nothing to back their demands. Let's see if we are ruthless like United. nope Harry Maguire is NOT close to joining Aston Villa despite Twitter rumours - with the Man United captain pictured in a restaurant near Villans' Bodymoor Heath training ground because he was playing GOLF at The Belfry https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11612475/Harry-Maguire-NOT-close-joining-Aston-Villa-despite-pictured-near-training-ground.html Manchester United laugh off Harry Maguire transfer speculation https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/manchester-united-harry-maguire-transfer-25925796 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,439 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Its interesting to see these long term deals the owners are insisting for incoming players (or when renewing existing contracts). Reminds me of what Chicago Bulls did with Scottie Pippen. Basically lock them down on one salary for as long as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike 7,489 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Koulibaly quickly going in the bust section. Our bust : hit ratio with transfers has been so bad in recent years. Only Thiago Silva has been an unquestionable success and even that is with the caveat of free transfer, age meaning less expectations.

Hamilton 2,120 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 El Khannouss from Genk getting interest of more clubs besides Ajax. PSG, Dortmund and United joined the Dutch team. While we are piling up young talent we should be all over this, he has enormous talent and reminds me of a young kdb, only not the same numbers atm.

Vesper 30,178 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) Exclusive: Chelsea still interested in 19-year-old midfielder who would “love” Blues transfer https://www.caughtoffside.com/2023/01/09/Chelsea-remain-keen-on-arsen-zakharyan-transfer/ Chelsea remain interested in the potential transfer of Dynamo Moscow midfielder Arsen Zakharyan, Fabrizio Romano has revealed in his exclusive CaughtOffside column the Daily Briefing. The Blues have been linked strongly with the highly-rated young Russia international on several occasions in recent months, though things had gone a little quiet on that front. Romano has provided an update on the situation, suggesting that Chelsea remain keen on Zakharyan and the player would also still love to get the move to Stamford Bridge. However, with Chelsea also working on so many other deals, it may be that Zakharyan isn’t quite the priority he was, even if the west London giants are still open to bringing him to the club. “Chelsea are still interested in signing Zakharyan, for sure,” Romano said. “He’s one of the talents they are following, but Chelsea are working on many deals so the timing cannot always be fast, that’s absolutely normal. The player would love to join Chelsea.” Chelsea have had a busy January, bringing in some exciting young talents as Andrey Santos, Benoit Badiashile and David Datro Fofana have all joined. Zakharyan, 19, would certainly be another fine signing to add to Graham Potter’s squad, so it will be interesting to see if this becomes a priority again later this January.

lluubbeenn 173 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 In order for a transfer to be a success you need both a good player and a good team. We lack a consistent spine, which inevitably exposes new players. We went to a 4 at the back system just for the sake of it. Most of the positions have different jobs compared to 2-3 months ago. Atm it looks like nobody knows what exactly he should do. We need 5-6 players who are starters every week and keep the level of performance more or less the same. Injuries haven't helped, but I believe we should build long term. If TB and co have decided Potter is the man then that's it, but we need him to decide how he wants his team to set up and do it. Even if he doesn't have the players for it. We can change players, but a footballing style takes time to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,585 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I think that should be it for our transfer. Would be surprised if we get Enzo. He can have better choices in the summer as right now we are a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
