Chelsea Transfers

We were never going to offer the rumoured wages PSG was offering. Time to look elsewhere, let's see what all those new board members can do.

[Pizy 18,909]

We should all thank our lucky stars that we pushed hard and refused to take no for an answer with Enzo when we did. Because after the season we had we would have ZERO chance at him now and he’d be holding up the shirt of a PL rival right now instead.

We’re lucky he’s so good that we can plug in 3-4 different midfield targets on our list and be happy. We just have to sign that player quickly before they’re all gone.

Done. Moving on

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

You guys here made such a compelling case for Ugarte that I was beginning to warm to the idea without ever having watched Sporting live. Well, now let's just hope he flops at PSG.

I do hope we go for Khephren Thuram tho. He too compliments Enzo very well and reminds me of a more dynamic Matic, hurting the opposition with his pointy bones.

[Special Juan 28,141]

It's one of Thuram or Kone next for Liverpool

[Superblue 6,372]

I personally would rather we searched the market for an alternative to Caicedo.

He's a good player, potentially very good, but Brighton will want £80m+ or leverage on a Colwill deal. He's simply not worth either of them.

If he was playing for a mid table side in one of the other top leagues, he'd be half the value. I understand the thought process behind buying players with Premier League experience but that still guarantees nothing and you pay inflated prices to boot. All the players we bought last season with Prem experience were amongst our poorest performers last season.

I struggle to look at Caicedo and not think that an alternative to him can be found for a fraction of the price if we actually do a bit of scouting outside of the South Coast of this country.

Both players we should be closely monitoring as well. Unlike us, looks like Liverpool can get their incoming business done quickly because they don’t have 12 players they have to bin off.

The market's becoming thin

in the next month - Ugarte, Rice, Caicedo, MacAllister, Kone will all be off. 

[Strike 7,489]

 

 Would rather keep him at this price. He is worth more than the transfer fee paid in 2020

Yup, we would be absolutely stupid to let him leave for this little. In other words, sounds exactly like a deal Boehly would sign off.

[Special Juan 28,141]

We will be very fortunate if we get even close to the price we paid for him-he hasn't improved and if I were TB I'd snap someone's hands off for 50-60M, his wages off the books as well

Real usually pay over the odds.

That's the price you pay for an average player nowadays. Even Cucu cost more than that. If they only offer peanuts like this, we can as well keep him. Maybe Poch can improve him. Next year we will still get 40m or so for him if not.

I can tell you now he won't get any better than he is now, he's a bang average player and to boot he's fucking lazy. If he goes to Real Madrid I can tell you the white handkerchiefs will be out early for him.

I hope there's some truth to this.

He's over here and at Soton...Lavia

[Mário César 1,264]

50M euros for havertz its very cheap

I hope 60M euros at least with easy add ons 

[chelsea_4_eva 1,182]

Yeah, I wouldn't be selling Havertz at that price when you know how much RM spend on players. Plus Kai doesn't mind staying, contract until 2025 and is only 23, so there would be no rush to sell him.

Instead the board need to fokus on selling Mount, Kova and the dregs before selling Kai at that price. Have a fire sale for those dregs if need be.

we're comanded by amateurs 

[Mário César 1,264]

well Bild says that we will get 60M euros for Havertz

its neither good or bad deal. the fact its playing like shit hurt is in the moment of demand a price 

its a ok deal. neither bad or good.
