Chelsea Transfers

[Reddish-Blue 2,325]

I get that Kepa isn't the most amazing keeper but to let your #1 leave (on loan) with the opening game of the season a day away is crazy.

It was reported that the plan is for Sanchez to take over, probably the reason why Kepa wants to leave in the first place

I don't see any point in a loan

Understand that but if that was the plan, surely you get Sanchez earlier in the window and let him play some pre-season minutes with the defensive unit?    Seems a bit odd to bring him in and ask him to play from day 1 with zero chemistry

He writes in the comments he’s sure our wages have barely improved and we are all dreaming if we think the players who are joining are agreeing much lower wages than those leaving.

Guess he has an agenda. Am curious to see something written by someone with actual assumptions and numbers in table form included, this guy is just making bold statements with out showing his working.

that twitter account is a cleverclogs troll

ignore

Yes, would've been better if a bunch of things were sorted earlier

I had bought robert sanchez in fpl as my main goalie for some reason, guess he will play after all

[Pizy 18,341]

I would at least tell Madrid to wait a few more days until we have another backup keeper in already before we let Kepa go.

I love how salty and desperate they are LMAO making the whole transfer window for me 

They got English clubs banned from Europe for 7 years and yet they want more. Maybe i was wrong about the city of liverpool being a slum of work shy scum.if they think putting a higher bid to Brighton is gonna change Moises mind about not wanting to join them they are infact just a bunch of unemployable window lickers.

Just shows you how good Kepa is. Bayern, Real two giants after him.

Oh god.. not those skinflints again

I see no reason why we cannot get £30 to 40m for Trevoh from an EPL club

he is far from shit

these are the right footed CBs who are still available I would go for as they are clear upgrades

so so many are off the board

António Silva 
Marquinhos (if PSG sell him, it seems back and forth) Downside is he turns 30yo in May 2024
Bremer 
Giorgio Scalvini 
Jean-Clair Todibo
Robin Le Normand
Mohamed Simakan 
Nicolò Casale    
Danilho Doekhi

Really just shows that he’s the best available on super short notice who is fine being a stopgap.

[cosmicway 1,299]

Kepa is the goalkeeper of Spain as well as Chelsea.
Apart the horrible seasonn 2019-20 I think he was a good keeper for the blues.
People don't like him because before him we had Cech and it's difficult to step into the shoes of a giant but they are wrong.
I never heard of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid going after has been players.

[Pizy 18,341]

Melissa Reddy (one of Liverpool’s usual media mouthpieces) saying that nothing has really changed since yesterday morning. We STILL haven’t bid, STILL haven’t agreed anything with Brighton, and Liverpool are very much still in the race with no intention of backing away.

Piecing what limited info we do actually have, it feels like we’re trying to work out some weird payment structure with Brighton rather than paying one huge lump sum and that’s why it’s been so long without an update. Which makes me super nervous and makes me think there’s another 180 degree twist in this saga back to Liverpool who can pay all at once.

[Mário César 970]

kepa was never a good goalkeeper for us. just average.

he will never be good enough and if he goes out on loan he certainly won't play this season, that makes me happy.

Possibly get his wages off the books for a season? Every little helps as they say. 

[Magic Lamps 11,635]

Why would we even agree to loaning out Kepa. Going through all the hassle of finding a replacement for a 50/50 wage split only to be stuck with him again in summer does not make any sense. Could as well keep him. Amateur hour from our board once again.
