Chelsea Transfers

[TheHulk 2,647]

If we sign Olise, surely this fraud Sterling is gone right? I don't want another season with this guy.

we already scored a lot of goals last season and if we can get nkunku fit plus olise plus another cf - I would prefer Alvarez - I think we would have a pretty decent attack

A goal scoring tally we did get by playing unbelievably open football that cost us a record number of goals conceded though.

What’s with these Colwill-Bayern links?  Makes no sense

Looks like his agent making noise because of potential interest from big clubs on him.

Wants assurances around starting position/importance and likely money to match? dunno what his current deal looks like.

Only signed a contract last year. He did make some noise then as well about whether he'd stay so not sure we can expect much loyalty tbh.

Hopefully its all nonsense and he stays. Would be painful to watch another one of our very promising defenders develop at another club while we get stuck conceding a record number of goals.

I would have thought our new manager would really want Colwill though, can play CB and a LB role where he tucks into 3 to make 3 ATB too. Has high potential in his passing game. And he's only 21.

This could be the case, but isn't he toed down to 7 years or something? For me, I wouldn't put it past Clownlake wanting the HG FFP profit. 

[bluesman2610 1,430]

He just got a new deal ane played a lot until his injury in fact because of his ball playing ability he'd be a nailed on starter under Maresca. This seems very callous from his agent if this is true. Bayern would have to give us near 80-90m for his services if not more.

[Pizy 19,280]

The Colwill stuff better be bullshit. And these Bayern reporters are always spouting bullshit linking the club to everyone under the sun each window.

We shouldn’t even be picking up the phone for anyone inquiring about Colwill. He could be one of, if not THE key player under Maresca.

Isn't Plettenberg Tier 3? He has inside sources at Bayern but nothing elsewhere. Bayern have Colwill as a target if they don't get Tah, however I'd imagine the conversation Bayern reps and Clearlake have over the availability of Colwill will last fewer than 3 seconds.

I'm more worried about where Nkunku and Palmer fit into this. Neither would benefit as being a wide left sided winger, and both together in the #8 positions would be very top heavy.

Yes, long contracts provide some guarantees, but as soon as big clubs show interest, it's his agent's job to ask for an adjustment depending on which tier he is. Say, he's on a rotation/backup deal, and he becomes a sure starter in D; that usually comes with an adjustment to match the new role.

Agreed tho. He's both the best CB in the squad atm as well as the most suited for the new system.

Colwill’s agent needs to back off or Levi needs to clarify.

Yes, its one of the very interesting puzzles. Going to be interesting to see it play out. One argument is for Palmer to play as an 8, and Nkunku out of position sort of awkwardly on LW. Or Nkunku up top, and Jackson on the LW (perhaps also a bit awkwardly). Also, an experiment with Palmer as a false 9 would not surprise me either.

[ZAPHOD2319 4,954]

This might slow down the Colwill rumors.

 

[Mário César 1,483]

yeah if they get tah no way they will also get colwill 

edit Im reading the news again and they could also try lewill but no way we will let him go. only for a crazy bid like 100M pounds or something like this

[Mário César 1,483]

as expected 

[Clockwork 1,794]

Gut feeling he will stay at  RB Lepzig, and he will be worth double what he is now.

Hope we sign him.

[Clockwork 1,794]

Is there any similar midfielder to Vitinha? one of my favorite players to watch.

Not exactly the same physicality/movement, but reckon Lucas Paqueta and him would be similar on the ball. Paqueta will likely be banned from football tho.
For the record, I think Paqueta plays better for Brazil as he plays deeper than he does for WHU.

[whats happening 1,666]

getting tired of colwills shit, was already tired last summer. if this is how its going to be every summer he should just go.

Then it's his own damn fault if clubs next summer can't afford him and he wants to leave. 

Reckon he's off to Arsenal.
