Chelsea Transfers

[Mhsc 1,091]

Bit of deja vu about us signing loads of wingers and not sorting out other positions, but tbf if Kante comes back and somehow stays fit and signs a new contract, between him and Kovacic it would be a solid 4-2-3-1 all of a sudden with plenty of creativity and danger from the front 4. My gut says based on what we've seen so far though that we don't end this transfer window without signing some kind of CM.

But is a midfield loan signing necessary either?

Even now the problem isn't quantity but quality. I mean, we have all of Jorginho, Kovacic, Gallagher, Chukwuemeka, Loftus-Cheek, Kante and Zakaria in the squad and even Lewis Hall is more of a natural midfielder than a LB so when Chilly is back we could try him in midfield too.

Of course Kante and Zakaria are currently out injury and will continue to be for at least a few more weeks but there's still plenty of bodies available for selection. They may not be all that great and/or good tactical fits for how we want to play going forward but would the kind of players available on a loan deal right now be any better than the ones we already have? The grass isn't always greener.

Not to mention that even now we can't register all new signings for the UCL squad for the knockouts so I very much doubt the loanee midfielder would make the cut either so are we really banking on getting the kind of midfielder on loan that immediately makes a HUGE impact and gets us closer to the battle for European spots? If not, why even bother loaning in anyone?

I'd say DM. 

Jorginho, Kovacic, Kante, and Zakaria are the only deep players. You can add Ruben but he's as reliable as a politician, and Kante and Zakaria are far too injury prone.

Let's just hope it is a slow day at the Standard.

Sell Ziyech and J5 for a combined 65m?

 

 

 

Add the 55m bidded for Caicedo and you have enough to pay Enzos release clause?

I hope he has an epic half year so Simone talks AM into selling Felix.

 

So we pay Barca 4 times more money for 5 years older Auba. Wow. Not the same prices for certain clubs.

Say what now?

Jorginho with six months left on his contract we'd be lucky to get 10M for, and Ziyech has already been on the market since last year and it was reported the asking price was 20-25M and there were no takers. 

If we wanted to sell those two right now I very much doubt we'd get more than 15M for the lot.
