Chelsea Transfers

[Fernando 6,422]

Well if that is the only way of getting him then fine. 

This season is dead anyways.

It also allows to get in a long contract before the amortization rule changes in the summer.

[Costa19 858]

Well lets pray that James stay fit for the reminder of the season..

If it was the only way to get the fella signed then I'm happy.

Everton selling their biggest asset in the middle of the season probably means they need the cash, have given up on survival and have some clauses in their contracts which would make them miss out on a bigger trasnfer fee in case they get relegated. Their other decent players like DCL or maybe Onana would be up for grabs in summer for sure then.

Biggest asset? Is it just me or does anyone else not really see the potential with this kid Gordon?

I mean his numbers and performances are very very bad. Granted Everton not been good in any way shape or form, but he doesn’t even stick out in a bad Everton team. I don’t get how any club could justify paying £40m plus for somebody who has played 16 games this season and has 3 goals.

As well, take into consideration his antics the last few days, first and foremost he’s a local lad at his boyhood club who are are struggling? Plus he’s not even contributed, made it as a fully fledged footballer or done anything relative in the game to have the right to miss 2 or 3 days of training to try force through a move.

If he had scored say 5-10 goals this season and looked well too good for them and that team, you could maybe see why he’s having to do that/doing it/wanting to leave - but he hasn't and he doesn’t have enough skin in the game.

7 PL goals in 58 games the last 2 seasons for Everton then 8 goals in 90 games his whole club career. Throw in another 6 goals in 27 caps for England u18 to 21.

I dont see how anybody is willing to pay £40m + £5 in add ons like Newcastle have agreed. I mean he probably won’t even start for them? I am glad its not us getting him though although wait and see Boehly probably go match their bid now.

Stats to go with OMS post. I'm glad we missed him.

If I had the wings of a sparrow,
If I had the arse of a crow,
I’d fly over Tottenham tomorrow,
and shit on those bastards below

 

[ZAPHOD2319 4,415]

Unless it is a midfielder that can step in and improve us, I hope we stop before any panic buys....looking at you Auba.

[ZAPHOD2319 4,415]

Good price, well done Chelsea negotiations. 

 

[nyikolajevics 2,565]

Bit weird he is staying at Lyon on loan.. We very much need a righ back.

Maybe the club is worried we cannot make space in the squad to register him? 

As I know, we are full. Is even Madueke registered? Still doesn't have squad number officially.

I think they would not have got it done in this window and if they waited until the summer they could not do a long contract that helps us stay in compliance with FFP. Only five years would have been counted toward FFP. There could be more reasons.

Not weird at all. Lyon wouldnt let him leave now, but he is a great prospect and there wouldve been a lot of competition in the summer, so we wrapped it up now. Way better than going for a short term fix, to save this terrible season.

Also Madueke is #31..

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

We will obviously bring in a midfielder or 2 between now and summer. Definitely need a proper number 9 too. But if we bring in felix as well as nkuku and Gusto....my word we're starting to get there with the squad 

[Pizy 18,344]

Good to get him wrapped up ahead of the significant competition in the summer but damn, now it’s fingers crossed that Reece doesn’t get injured again. Above every other signing this month a RB was perhaps the most necessary for immediate use. Sucks that we’ll have to wait.

[ZAPHOD2319 4,415]

Manure fans are not even using their usual....didn't really want him. They are disappointed they didn't go after him in this window and the price really frustrates them. 

[MoroccanBlue 5,281]

We are genuinely setting ourselves up for a long term run. All the better if we somehow finish strong and make Top 4 or win the Champions league. Our rivals will genuinely fear us again if that is the case. 

ENZO NEXT.
