Chelsea Transfers

and Pool also is buying Mamardashvili for £30m (Bournemouth paying £4m on top for a 1 year loan to get around the EPL rules that you cannot buy and loan out immediately to another EPL club, so he joins Pool permanently in 10 months)

napoli lost 3-0 to verona. hopefully this will speed up the things around osimhen for us.

[robsblubot 3,595]

I see Alisson's best years behind him; yes, a bit soon for a goalie, but that's what I see (I see him a lot for Brazil). So, them getting a promising goalie as well as a quality CB is worrying given the strength of their squad. They still need a mid tho.

Reports from Brazil state that Brentford is signing gremio's 18yo winger Gustavo Nunes for somewhere in the 20m. He looks like a really interesting player, but one who needs yo take a step like Brentford before moving to a big club IMO.

Fofana Colwill are our starters. Badi and Tosin backups. Disasi depth. 

Told you guys Fofana would be starter. 

[Vesper 31,087]

very few remotely available and acceptable CBs left on the board

Bremer  (crazy hard pull now)
António Silva   (release clause is now around £85m, so he is out)
Gonçalo Inácio 

Piero Hincapié (likely going elsewhere)

Ousmane Diomande

Castello Lukeba  
Mohamed Simakan 
Dávid Hancko  
Cristhian Mosquera 

Murillo

We more than likely wont be signing a CB. Unless we sell one. Tosin was brought to replace Silva.

We are incredibly lightweight there but these guys buying the players are clueless. Wait and see we won’t sign a striker or a centre back of any real quality if we do.

Be another two players who may be good enough to play for us in 2036

im fine with going forward with fofana and colwill as our main cbs. need to give them a chance to play and prove themselves. we cant buy every year new pair of central backs.

we need a striker as priority number 1. and maybe the only thing this team is missing.

It does not really matter. as long as we don’t have a proper gk we could have prime nesta maldini cb we would still concede a ton of unnecessary goals 

I do hink we need both, wc gk and a wc cb to win big titles again. Even city/Liverpool never would have never won league /CL level without making these vital acquisitions nor us with that one magic Mendy+rudiger year. 

that being said fofana and colwill probably have the highest ceiling of all our cbs which is not saying much. Fofana still looking remotely useful at all came as a surprise. Still, dude is one big injury away from being done at top level so we should look to bleed in Tosin soon

Agreed. I don't trust Fofana fitness for obvious reasons, but we have enough cover even if breaks again. We seem to have missed on the better CBs anyway, esp that one ball-playing CB that Arsenal snatched up.

Aside from striker, I'm extremely disappointing seeing Sanchez starting for us again. If Fillip cannot play ahead of Sanchez wtf was he signed?!

It was good to not have to see Mudryk try to play football tho. He can learn to play footy watching Neto at gameday or at practice.

I think our CBs and GKers may well fuck us so badly we finsh innthe bottom half of the table

it is possible

I do not trust any of them

 

[Pizy 19,276]

Don’t think our CB’s were close to the main problem today. Those numerous panicky moments we saw from them in preseason never really happened today. Thought both showed decent composure on the ball, too.

We are so fucked.

[DDA 10,220]

Expect to see a lot of outgoings this week. 
 

There’s a list as long as your arm .

[Pizy 19,276]

I know I brought his name up a few days ago but I just think it’s really weird how Omari Kellyman signed for us and then fell off the face of the earth never to be mentioned again. I know he is/was injured but still. 

There’s zero talk of him whatsoever in connection with playing in our first team. We already now appear ready to sell/loan Carney after Maresca’s comments today because we have no space for him in that #10 spot. And Felix may be coming in who plays in that area. There’s zero talk about loaning Kellyman either. He’s probably too advanced in his development to go into our dev team and at £19m it would be crazy to have him down there.

So wtf is going to happen with him? It truly does seem like we bought him ONLY as a PSR favor with no plan for what we’re actually gonna do with him.

The weirdest part is, if we're giving out PSR favors, at least get someone in return who can fill a position of need (like CB).    We don't need Kellyman as there is enough attacking talent at the club already (not to mention the two South American kids coming next year).

well it was Villa we bought him from

and they have the best option (I give up on the club buying J David, we clearly do not rate him, or will try to get him on a free next season)

for CF

IF Osimhen goes elsewhere

that being

Jhon Durán

he is the perfect new Chels type of buy (and looks FAR better than Shamu)

we could have had him in the barn door already weeks ago, and my stress levels would be 33% lower (still stressing on CB and GK)

our owners are just bizarre AF

Yeah, exactly. This is easily the most puzzling bit of business by Clearlake yet.

If the FA hadn’t changed the number of loan spots I guess you could rationalize this buy by saying he could go out for a PL loan and perhaps earn himself a future place in the team. But our loan spots will probably be long gone by the time we get around to deciding what to do with him.

We don't need another CB and we dont need another GK. 

We have enough of them and already brought a new GK in. (Currently 6 GKs. in the Squad and you want to buy another one? Maybe we need to sell 5 of them and then buy another one)

 

Fofana, Disasi, Badiashile, Tosin, should be enough and also enough of quality for the top 4 race. 

Jörgensen, Petrovic and Sanchez are also also good enough. Sanchez just should not be our No. 1.

 

Yesterday we saw that sanchez is not good enough. We just need Jörgensen or  Petrovic in net and osimhen. Jackson should not be our striker. 

If we had Haaland and city had jackson, then we would have won the game. so please bring in osimhen!!

Outgoings need to happen and big time this week, and according to Romano the Lukaku deal is getting closer but Osimhen is a seperate transaction so no doubt that PSG will snatch him in the last days and we will probably buy another 4 year old on the last day

Will the 4 year old also be able to play in the pivot?
