 Mind you, I won’t be surprised if we did get rid of him. Should have been a starter for Chelsea instead of buying more dead wood.

Perhaps a good thing he's not part of the squad in this unstable season and he can come in with some PL experience next year. top-level experience next year. Just thankful they didn't sell him in the summer when the club was negotiating for Cucurella 

Fofana, Badiashile, Silva, Colwill and Chalobah could be a good set of options.

We should sign Jeffrey Schlupp. He's a bonafide champion, he knows what it takes to win the league and can play several positions to devastating effect.

Could be because Israel has not imposed sanctions on Russia. In other words, uefa is not issuing sanctions independently of EU/nation states. 

the problem as I understand it is the payment to a Russian team

perhaps I am wrong

Geez, just stop buying Brigthon (and similar) players, especially non-HG, buy Brighton if you want to have Brighton manager and Brighton players.

This is mode of operation good for mid table, but not for top teams. How often City or Pool do this?

Buying talents like Chuka is great, but those clubs will demand (rightly so) super overinflated money for their key players and it will go down as Zaha and Wan-Bissaka saga. Like buying 60 mil Alonso replacement, so far subpar to Alonso himself taught this club nothing.

Feel like there are other players (Pulisic, RLC, Ziyech) that we can get rid of at the end of the season before worrying about Colwill, kid has too much talent to sell. 

Would hate to see another Tomori situation where we sell him for peanuts and he turns into a class defender.

Just give them Colwill and add £60 million. We have enough CBs at least until we decide to get rid of two of them in the summer.

Colwill looks a good player. No way we should let him go

Don't know about how often but Liverpool did get Mane, Jota and VVD from mid table clubs and they did OK. Christ...Robertson came from the Scottish league. There's good players below the elite teams

Still yet to be credibly linked to a RB. We’re being linked to loads of players in positions we’re completely stacked in but not the one area we need most. Both the attack and defense will be severely handicapped so long as we are forced to repeatedly play Azpi or Trev out there.

Pretty sure Robertson came from Hull (relegated), Henderson was at Sunderland, VVD at Southampton, Mane at Southampton, Wijnaldum from a PL relegation side, Jota from Wolves....they turned out to be pretty good for Liverpool. 

There is value for money signings from mid table clubs, we got Cahill from Bolton all those years ago and he turned out to be solid.

Sure there is, the question remains how many of those players exist. Given the situation I think we can't afford another transfer flopping and although it's only media buzz, the shift from overpaying for doubtful wonderkids to apparently trying to scavenge middle of the table is not reassuring.

I don't even care that much for new incomings to be exceptional on their own, just be clinical business and solid buys that can improve as a team and it still looks like search for immediate lifeline, just somewhere else.

And Anelka!

Oh god he was so good.

What we could do right now with a playing like him..

Colwill was at the Bridge for Sunday's game, up in the box with Eghbali, Mudryk and Felix. 

From what I've read and understand, the club decided to pay the premium on Cucurella in the summer and just loan Colwill out as opposed to using him in a permanent transfer to lower the Cucurella deal. At the time I felt this was the right move, and his recent performances for Brighton would confirm this for me.

I think the club will want to keep him given the youth drive they seem to have been doing. When Silva decides to leave, I think they'll view Fofana, Chalobah, Colwill and Badiashile as the centre backs moving forward in the long term at the club. I was impressed with Badiashile at the weekend, albeit it's only one game but I think Colwill could be something very special and the profile of both, I think Fofana and Colwill have the makings of a very promising centre back partnership in the future.

Get fucking Enzo with the money left even if he comes in summer.

I'm sure that you are not wrong. I'm just saying it does not appear to be the case that uefa will prevent a uefa registered club doing business with Russia, if the club's national government permits it.

The club wants to sell him, the player wants the transfer and Chelsea wants to buy him. But its impossible to pay for him and to do the transfer.

 

 Law aside, I'm pretty sure that given the situation, American Chelsea owner, sending 100 mil euro to Russia goes down great with media and even normal people. It's not happening and it's not something that upsets me personally.

Super credible, with Enzo and us selling Sterling of all the wingers. But hey, it clicks well!
