There is no way we can attract players like Valverde or Tchouameni. Why would they come to Chelsea, considering our new wage structure, and the lack or UCL football?

If players are top level they may get top money. Enzo is on 300k. Varane switched for United with no CL.

probably Vini Jr for Mbappe

if both teams can make it work for Mbappe

obviously Bells just went there, so DEFFO not him

so that leaves only other crazy expensive payers it could be as

Aurélien Tchouaméni
Federico Valverde   
Rodrygo 
Eduardo Camavinga    

Tchou out those 4 is most likely if it is not Vini Jr

all 6 of those Real players (and obviously Mbappe as well) are 'run down the street nakie if we buy them' good

Dybala could actually be a decent shout and I wouldn't necessarily be against it. Apparently he's on a salary of around £120K/wk at AS Roma so nothing outrageous. For a £10M release clause and reasonable wages we could do a lot worse as a rotation option for a couple of years.

Assuming Poch will play a 4-2-3-1 he could be the primary cover for Nkunku in the middle of the '3' or even play up front every once in a while. While he's probably not suited to playing as the lone number 9, having a player Nkunku behind him could make for an interesting partnership?

There's been no solid sources linking him to Chelsea though so it's probably bs.

we have Danes, Swedes, and Finns posting

where are our Norsk brothers/sisters?

I guess they all follow Citeh now with Håland there

lolol

we should all gang up and take their petrol ££££££

Vinicius Junior 'signs new contract with Real Madrid until 2027 which includes €1bn release clause' | Daily Mail Online

I know the source is meh, but I've read for a number of weeks that he was going to sign a new contract, and he took Hazard's number recently. I imagine it's one of those three midfielders you mentioned.

we just bought one

Jackson

Not a chance in hell we go with him, he's been bought purely as back up

[MoroccanBlue 5,375]

If we buy Vlahovic then the recruitment team isn't as good as I thought they were.

Still the guy was struggling to perform. And then he got good and played very well. For two months. And then we got him. Journos who are knowledgable in La Liga claim he has great potential, still have huge reservations on him. I'm curious to see how he does for us, but not sure it solves our struggles right here right now.

Because of Roman or Mou sentiment. Or want to put their families in London. Oh well…

Our recruitment team is known for spotting youth talent. Asking them to sign experienced players is like asking me to date MILF.

Nothing wrong with a MILF.

I'd rather wait and take the short term pain than just buy anyone. Eventually a good fit will fall into our lap.

After seeing the end result of Lukaku and Auba I find it incredible how many people seem happy for us to just go for anyone at a certain age with a decent enough goal record.

Hmm I find it hard to not criticize the professionals involved in those deals. Their issues as players, and professional footballers, were always well-known.

I understand betting on someone recovering his form after say a frank talk, or whatnot, but Lukaku's deal was just too expensive for a bet. And Auba was just unrecoverable at his age and clear physical decline (of a player already mentally weak).

I do suspect an element of (super) agent pushing, and side deals we aren't aware of.

Aren’t you the one for whom every pöayer with „less than 2 seasons under 30 y.o.“ is old for every position except goalie?😂

esp for a pace reliant player like him. Not a fan, don’t think his goal return screams 20 goals per season in PL either but if Poch really wants him he should be granted one wish but none more.

I consider Caicedo a Chelsea player already. He wont go anywhere else. Just a matter of time. But he is ours. 

Something that always frustrated me was not getting players in for a full pre season, weight of expectation is still massive and it puts the player at a massive disadvantage, hopefully the new board can avoid this for Poch.

Agreed. What a dream it would be if we get all players signed in the next week and don’t even go into market in Jan.
