Chelsea Transfers

Chiesa pre injury, absolutely, what a player but he's done for unfortunately. Sad to see because I rated him so so highly before.

Funny that, every rival fan I've spoken to on building sites in the UK all day the same, Chelsea will be back this season, any even more so alot are actually praising what we are doing as a club now.

I don’t know why you responded to that he’s been doom and gloom since the transfer window opened.

Fair point 🤣

Spoke to my Canadian mate - and he doesn't rate Jonathan David. At least not in the national team. Said he hasn't watched him for club but seen just about most of his games for country. 

Says he is a passenger in games and found it interesting bigger clubs were linked with him, but also said its telling he is going for cheap and still no one has come knocking.

I’ve seen similar sentiment about him with the Canadian national team. He basically does nothing with his country. But then you watch him at Lille and he looks genuinely good. Not great, but good.

So I don’t know what to believe. There’s got to be a reason that in this current era of an extreme striker shortage no big club has ever moved for him. But for £20-30m perhaps he’s worth a punt?

As a Canadian who watches our National team constantly the quality around David doesn’t help how he performs on the International stage but he is still one of Canada leading all time scorers at such a young age(not that difficult in CONCACAF). However I do believe he has the ability to go up another level as I’ve seen him be unplayable in games at international and club level as well. I think he would be a good signing at the right age for us that would also give us tactical flexibility.

And if we signed Calafiori a couple of years ago or even last year that would have been an "issue" too.

Maybe we're just trying to get ahead of the game this time?

Not every signing needs to be based on potential. I think Clearlake have done well so far after a rocky start but there are some spots in the squad which could really use a senior player who can come in and play at a high level straight away. Calafiori at 42m is not an expensive deal either unlike Enzo and Caicedo.

Plenty of better options. Nico Williams is the same age and has a 46m pounds release clause.

They don't wanna pay his wages.

Oh, fuck off already with this Samu trash, where the fuck is Jonathan.

What a weird sentence to use. Ofc we are not done. Did we even started?

[Pizy 18,888]

Adeyemi has huge bust potential if he moved to the PL in my opinion. His pace and burst is insane as we’ve seen for Dortmund but his end product has been dreadful most of the time I’ve seen him. 

Don’t think we need another player like that. A smaller club like West Ham or Brighton taking a risk in a player like him would make sense as he’s got a lot of potential. But whatever wide player we sign needs to be more clinical I think.

I would tell you the same thing about Haaland based on 3 games I watched when Serbia faced Norway. So it's irrelevant.

Disappointing, but I'll still maintain that central midfield is where we needed the big fix, and I think we've got that. Going to make a big difference in each game's result next season. With more draws turning into wins.

☝️ agreed and gotta have some competition internally to keep players on their toes. Starter who looks at the bench and only sees kids who would never take his place isn't going to give that extra 10%.

Nkunku is the player we've missed tho. Established 26yo player pacy and skillful who can play striker or on the left (twice the player Muddy is).
Will we see more of him tho?
