Chelsea Transfers

[lluubbeenn 173]

If Caicedo is the main target and we are going for another mid on top I prefer Alvarez over Lavia. I do not think we have 1st team space for more u21 players. With Edson we will have one experienced player per line which is ok for now. 

Opening game vs pool looks tasty. Completely unpredictable first elevens. A lot of goals in both teams based on pre season. Can't wait! The new season feeling is awesome!

Honestly i’m 100% sure he will fail as always at Chelsea as the most strikers. I don’t know why but i have a feeling and hope so Jackson can finally, finally! prove that our team not cursed for striker position. Also about Vlahovic i don’t see anything special about him. Juve overpaid so much for him. @Vesper tell me your opinion about this.

IF he accepts £190 to 200K PW wages and if we do a straight swap (plus at max £10-15m cash) for the shite Lukaku, then I am okej with it.

I am not as negative on him as so many are.

CFs out there I would accept (Mbappe is not a CF) and who are available (so that knocks off Julián Álvarez, for instance) I did not list Elye Wahi as well, as I need to be assured that the swx pest charges are bogus.

20 CFs left

In order of valuation:

Victor Osimhen
Harry Kane   
Lautaro Martínez 
Randal Kolo Muani    
Dusan Vlahovic    
Jonathan David
Gonçalo Ramos    
Ollie Watkins       
Ivan Toney   (if not for the ban he would be my number one want now)
Youssoufa Moukoko
Evan Ferguson
Aleksandar Mitrovic    
Santiago Gimenez (sleeper)
Patrik Schick (injuries are the main reason he is not higher)
Benjamin Sesko
Evanilson    
Gift Orban    
Hugo Ekitiké    
Adam Hlozek    
Marcos Leonardo

Leicester want Casadei, new request has been made. 

PL loan is what Chelsea want but Maresca is key to the deal

[Nero 1,869]

They laugh at us

[Vesper 30,106]

Pretty much everyone is forgetting that Broja is coming of a massive knee injury and is possibly (not saying 100 per cent) permanently damaged goods.

I need to see 2 straight years of health before I am 100 per cent convinced.

I know I am absolutely brutal about injuries and height (in certain positions), but dammit, look at the record of my warnings.

Fofana is the newest, massive bust. He is likely done in terms of being a potentially WC or even very good player. I warned. He came off my lists long before we stupidly bought him for insane cash.

With De Zerbi being Italian, with Brighton playing great football, with them losing Mac Allister, AND with us after Caicedo I don’t get why we aren’t trying to include Casadei on loan as part of the deal. He would be absolutely perfect in that side and would develop beautifully. That way they don’t have to spend a penny on replacing Caicedo this summer.

I guess Brighton don’t want to do us any favors after Colwill?

No way should we give them 40 fucking million euros plus Rom. Too much.

 

[Mhsc 1,093]

10m-15m euros and Big Rom for a player they are desperate to get rid of due to injury problems, form and salary is extremely fair, they wont take it but fuck them walk away immediately if not, otherwise they can live with their problem - we need to stop being the club that bails out Italian teams. We can feasibly sell Lukaku to Saudi but wtf are they going to do with Vlahovic? Shopped around all summer and no one wants him, and he's way too young to think about Saudi, and he does not work at all in Allegri-ball. Maybe their only path forward if not us would be to sack Allegri (which probably they can't afford) and bring in a coach who plays some progressive football and bumps Vlahovic's value back up to the 75m range, IF he can get over injury problems and find confidence which is a big if.

[Thor 2,691]

Vlahovic had only 2 good seasons in his career - and they were 2 seasons ago. He has been a 20-30 mil striker over the last 2 years. Just dead set facts.

If we pay anything over 15mil on top of Lukaku, we're stupid. 

 

But I wouldn't get him to begin with. He really doesn't look all too flash from the eye test - and his advanced statistics say the same. No thank you.

I haven't read yet from Ornstein/Fabrizio that we're interested in Vlahovic.

Seems very much a case of Juve pushing for the swap deal. I hope we don't sign him. 

[Mhsc 1,093]

Btw, how does FFP work when you buy a player and sell a player between a club? We can sell them Lukaku for 75m and they can sell us Vlahovic for 90m, letting us spread the damage over the length of Vlahovic's contract and avoid the FFP damage of selling Lukaku for a big loss?

Barca and Juve are in trouble for inflating prices in the Pjanic-Arthur swap

[DDA 9,925]

What I will say is... it seems Juve fans rate Vlahovic and blame Alegri massively for his lack of success there.

Keep seeing comments about how Sanchez commands his box but whenever I saw him for Brighton he was an absolute clown when facing crosses. Misjudging, flapping..

Not sure I like the transfer, especially from Brighton.
