Chelsea Transfers

Hope it doesn't happen. I'd rather get Sesko despite not being proven.

After every game it's more and more obvious that our main transfer target should be WC CB. We can buy ten new strikers and wingers, but without some stability in the back we won't improve much.

What we should do regarding CBs:

Silva - thank you legend. Retirement or Brazil 

Badiashile - sell or loan 

Chalobah - it's clear he is not in plans and will be sold 

Disasi because is always available and fighter should stay but moved from first CB option to fourth. Plus you cannot change them all in one window. 

Colwill had difficult year with injuries and playing out of position but it's clear he is real deal just be patient with young player. 

Fofana, still have huge hope for him, will be back. Top talent. 

I can't see why Colwill-Fofana cannot be our Saliba-Gabriel. 

And buy another top CB, preferably experienced guy.

Not sure where we get that. For me, I think Silva from Benfica is the one to get. I reckon he has a good chance of becoming WC in a couple of years. Need to get him and partner him with Colwill. After that allow Badi, Disasi and Fofana (too broken to be a CB1/2 - at best he becomes a Ledley King type player) to fight it out for CB 3/4. 

This said, we do need experience but I would choose to do that with a GK to guide the CB's in front of him.

Pedro Gonçalves is having another good season at Sporting.

The more I see the of Osimhen, the more I become favorable. He is physical in his play. Something that is needed against PL center backs.

Odds are starting to move towards fairly high that Amorin is bindipper bound.

Think he is much beteer fit at Pool, his style is direct like Poch. think this Chelsea squad would benefit from a manager that favors positional and possession play.

Sesko is basically like Broja. Big, strong, quick but a slow mind, eyes always on the  ball, never looking up. 
I am not 100% sold on any available striker but the more I see of Gyökeres the more I think he might be true better fit compared Osimhen. Also both are quite similar in height, physique, pace. The Nigerian is better in the air but the Swede is far superior technically. Could suit us better when we operate vs low blocks and in tight spaces

Can’t have admired him that much they fucking appointed Graham Potter ahead of him after getting rid of Tuchel.

I’m not sure he goes to us, Liverpool or Barca and does particularly well, could be wrong but just don’t see it. Just think that managing in Portugal at one of these top teams isn’t a sufficient stick to measure a supposed elite manager on these days but lets see.

Paris St-Germain are willing to pay Victor Osimhen's reported £111.5m release clause to sign the Nigeria striker, 25, from Napoli this summer. (Corriere dello Sport - in Italian)

Can someone tell me about Victor Guyokeres I see his name cropping up quite often, but I know fuck all about him.

[Mhsc 1,139]

Cannot express how much I hope we do NOT sign Osimhen for big money. One insane season in a joke league. Napoli. Just NO.

It is obvious they liked Potter a lot, they were wrong about him but neverless they liked him a lot. 

Sporting CP isn't Porto and Benfica, they were up there with them until the 80s. Since then Portugal league has been dominated by two team, Amorim brought Sporting first league title in 20 years. 

Truth of the matter is that there is always risks and quite frankly given where Chelsea are at they have to take more risks since this is not the same Chelsea that could go out get the best manager available.

Gyökeres is a Stockholm born and raised (Hägersten area to be exact, which is pretty close to where we live, Södermalm) Swede of mixed Hungarian and Swedish descent (mostly Swedish, 3/4ers)

 

In the footsteps of Gyökeres in Stockholm

Big strong lad, late bloomer (he turns 26 on June 4) and this is his first explosive topflight season

Technical ability is everything. How can we expect these new players to gel if they are all chasing their first touch every time they receive the ball. We should be demand technical excellence from all our players like Barca and city do. Donkeys simply aren’t acceptable

Never understood why people are speaking about Osimhen like he has 30+ goals last 4 seasons. Even Vlahovic has been better in 3 of the last 4 Seria A seasons. Giroud this season also more goals.

Chelsea and Arsenal blow as Napoli star Osimhen fuels PSG transfer speculation

https://football-italia.net/Chelsea-and-arsenal-blow-as-napoli-star-osimhen-fuels-psg-transfer-speculation/

Napoli star Victor Osimhen spent a few days in Paris earlier this week, fueling transfer speculations of a possible move to PSG at the end of the season.

Nigeria international Osimhen has fuelled speculations of a potential transfer to PSG with a trip to Paris with his daughter Hailey True.

As reported by Il Corriere dello Sport, the 25-year-old posted pictures and videos of his latest journey to the French capital on social media. According to the report, Osimhen travelled to Paris after Napoli’s 3-0 loss against Atalanta on Saturday, spending the Easter break with his family in France.

Corriere dello Sport already reported on Friday that PSG were leading the race to sign Osimhen at the end of the season as the ex-Lille striker is seen as an ideal replacement for Real Madrid-bound Kylian Mbappé.

Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United have also been linked with Osimhen, but according to Il Corriere dello Sport, PSG are the ‘closest’ side to match his €130m clause.

It is not the first time Osimhen has spent a few days off in Paris. The Nigerian star did the same last summer, and according to Calciomercato.com, this suggests that PSG are his favourite destination for next season.

should go all out for him and his striker
