Chelsea Transfers

[Pizy 18,948]

I think our spending on £100m footballers is probably done for the foreseeable future now. So waiting until the summer and targeting the likes of Kvara or Leão who are at clubs that will demand well north of that are out of the question. And tbf, I wouldn’t want the club spending that sort of money on a wide attacker with the number of expensive busts there have been in that area at multiple PL clubs.

Seems to me like we want to target an attacker who isn’t quite at the top level yet but has the potential to explode and become that with development.

You'd actually think we've sold a young R9 for peanuts with how Chelsea fans are going on about Lewis Hall on Twitter and Youtube videos.

Then I read how we keep making this same mistake with our academy talents and how they turn into stars. And how Billy Gilmour leaving was a mistake too. 

I sat there and scratched my head trying to think of a single academy player we let go that we are upset about to this day... Not one came to mind... 

Tomori for a moment, Livramento for a moment and Guehi for a moment. I think that's about it as pure academy. KDB and Salah where not academy so that don't count. 

Hall I mentioned before between Hall and Ian Maatsen I keep Maatsen. And Hall ain't competing with Chilly and Ian so it was best to go.

Agreed. Guys like Tomori, Guehi, Gilmour, Hall, Lamptey, Livramento would not have a place on our bench. 

Only one who is in category of Reece and Colwill that left is Musiala.

Till 2020-21 season, both lavia and doku were playing for anderlecht together.

Could be a connection we try to exploit and get doku in.

Injury prone and can't shoot to save his life though.

he'll fit right into our team then.

Doku looks exciting but really tiny. And I have also heard of his injury problems as people here are mentioning.

Probably best to avoid. Get a more robust attacker.

Being linked with Balogun when Poch said mere hours ago that we don’t want to block Broja’s pathway doesn’t quite square. They’re actually very similar players. Even if Broja wasn’t here I wouldn’t fancy Balogun. A player who had 1 explosive, breakout season at a small club after looking bang average up until that point is a red flag when it comes to transferring to a massive club.

I would so love Ansu Fati here...we arent even in the talks for him strangely

Dont want him to end up at arsenal for sure

As I posted earlier today, what the club say and what the club do do not have to match, in fact, probably they shouldn't match. Why should we make ourselves look desperate? Why should we not raise Broja's confidence & value by backing him so publicly? It is the same shit we did with Kepa. Doesn't mean we wont see that Broja has been loaned with obligation to buy for £15m randomly before the window closes and some random senior player bought in.

Why not Wirtz....

[TheHulk 2,482]

Fuck Arsenal and their dirty trash player, Balogun is trash.

What you say may be true. But like I said, even if Broja was gone tonight I wouldn’t fancy Balogun. He’s got expensive flop written all over him.

His stats are pretty impressive, higher npxG + xAG than any Chelsea player but I can't say I know much about the lad.

Why you always get angry over every rumor?

Purely based on my eye test he looks like the sort of striker for an Everton/West Ham/Wolves level club. He doesn’t really jump off the screen and wow me. Just looks like a solid, midtable sort of striker.
