Chelsea Transfers

Maatsen might do well there , seems like Dortmund have good scouts.

chalobah isn’t the best but I wouldn’t say he’s worse than Disasi, at least he has some pace to recover. 

[Mário César 1,250]

chalobah is injured

Idk if we can sell him this window

Silva is potentially a top player. However, he'll have a lot of options so I can't see him agreeing to a 7 year contract and our wage structure.

Silva has been my co-number one rated truly available (so I am not counting Ruben Dias, Ronald Araujo, Saliba, De Ligt or Marquinhos) right-footed CB for some time, along with Bremer (this coming summer 2024 is the last time I can say Bremer is perhaps truly worth BIG money, as he turns 28yo next season and it makes less sense to drop huge money in summer 2025 on a player who turns 29 in late winter of that season, most CBs are NOT like Thiago)

I do wager it will be hard to get either to come here with no CL, but who knows

 

right footed CB targets

Bremer 
António Silva
Giorgio Scalvini
Jean-Clair Todibo
Mohamed Simakan
Ousmane Diomande
Leny Yoro (18yo)

Dembele wanyama pivot slapped , 2 physical beasts and dembele in particular was world class. 
we need an experienced powerhouse in there , or someone like palhinha for sure 

K Thuram looks like an excellent ball carrier 

There was no better powerhouse mid in the market than Caicedo. There is a beast of a player in there and he just hasn't been anywhere nearly as good as he was at Brighton. It is up to Poch to figure out how he should use Caicedo best.

I just think it was pretty poor squad planning to let 200+ games of experience walk out the door for minimal transfer fees and then put 200+ million into 2 talented but very young midfielders without any experience around them. 

I feel bad for both Caicedo and Enzo as they'll never live up to the price tags that were paid for them.   When you spend 100+ million on a mid, you're expecting goals or assists or something special every single game (like a Hazard or Bellingham or even at a stretch a motivated Pogba).

Antonio Silva but both are better than Disasi.

It wasn't minimal transfer fees though. We were lucky to get 150 m for Havertz (65), Mount (55m when contract was running out), Koulibaly (17m) , Mendy (16m)

If you add in Kovacic, CHO, Pulisic and RLC, the club raised 200m in sales.

He isn't it. 

I remember someone warned us about his average defending and lack of pace.
