Chelsea Transfers

[IMissEden 21]

It’s subtle but clear enough that whoever was giving minor info to Alex Goldberg about lineups or injuries have either left the club (who) or stopped providing. This year been a great effort of bait and posture with 000000000 exclusives. It’s a shift. Just shameless he keeps up an act now.

It’s so weird they prioritised Sancho and Osimhen and failed to get a few players like DFofana, Carney and Matos out of the door

We were told there’s now competent directors in place for all aspects of recruitment now so why is it that the club is still so chaotic in the window ? Deals till the last day.

Sancho for 20 mil is a better deal than Chiesa for 13 mil. 
 

Just saying. 

Neither was needed. Why take this punt even ?

The club and in particular our “ Sporting Directors” have just become a sad joke. Every year we announce our main target for the window — but we never get them ( last year Kounde,this year Osimhen) !! Man City keep quiet and just do their business early.

Every pundit, supporter knows the one thing we lack is a Centre Forward to lead the line - so what’s the one position we don’t fill, no surprise it’s a Centre Forward !!!!!!  I truly hope Felix has improved, because last time he was here he was lightweight and bang average. The only signing that gets me even slightly excited is Neto — but then anything would be a step up from Mudryk and Sterling.

Maduake scored a great hat-trick last week — but if the Sporting Directors/Owners had their way, he would have been sold before the Wolves game.

We are just a complete mess with no joined-up plan. Very,very sad

We don't lack a CF. Jackson is one of the best in the league already and only improving.

Because of leverage? Napoli had no leverage in this deal - and now they are stuck with an asset they have to pay that won't play. They will be looking to sell in January, and it will be at a far lower price again. 

You can't expect everything to go perfect. The ownership are getting rid of a lot of the dross and have upgraded the squad dramatically. They move quick, and own up to mistakes, hence the moves. 

Been a very good window. We have incredible depth upfront, have options in the middle. The only area that is of concern is the CB area - and we haven't really given Fofana and Levi time to settle as a partnership. For as meh as Badi and Disasi are, Disasi is a serviceable back up. Tosin can play the part when rest is needed too.

Ruining his own career. Take 200k and come play at Chelsea. Mans wanted 500k when he has had one good season in the Italian league... lol. Get real.

That was because there was a rumor of Newcastle considering a significant offer for Madueke (in the 50 million range) and that would have helped balance the books. 

They then tried to get Elanga from Forest on deadline day for 35 million as Howe was desperate for a winger but Forest declined.

We loaned out our serviceable backup CB to Crystal Palace on deadline day. 😆

Disasi/Badiashile should have been told to go just like Sterling and the others.

This is indeed bizarre. I begrudgingly accept we have to sell our academy grads for pure profit bc of PSR but loaning them out makes absolutely 0 sense. Esp when they are superior to the options we are keeping in turn.  

[Pizy 19,250]

When you think about it, Arse don’t really have a traditional #9 either and are favorites for the league. Jackson and Havertz will likely put up very similar numbers and are of similar quality. So you don’t NEED a world class striker or even a classic striker at all to be a top team.

The big difference between us and them is that they have a world class defense that acts as a solid base that their team can build from.

[TheHulk 2,636]

Last night I saw some Osimhen addicts on here saying he rejected Saudi to stay in Europe and we have audacity to call him greedy, now it's confirmed by Romano, Osimhen was gonna accept the Saudi offer before they decided to withdraw because Napoli got greedy and started to ask for more money, hilarious. Napoli and Osimhen deserve each other dirty greedy cunts.

It's pure arrogance, they'd rather send him away on loan for free than admit the mistake they did to banish him in the first place.

Superior how exactly, because they can defend a little better? Let’s all stop pretending trev is a great defender for a second, if he was excluded from the team it’s because he can’t play the way the manager wants him to play, if he can’t even do it in training why would you want him on the pitch?

Disasi is trash get over it man, you don't need to rate Chalobah to know he is the better player.

[Vesper 31,037]

More trouble. Not just the dodgy Washington £20m sale that we backed out of due to threats from the EPL, UEFA and FIFA......

BUT....

Diego Moreira’s move from Chelsea to Strasbourg earlier in the summer window for around £7.5m is being reviewed by the Premier League, UEFA, and FIFA.

Which part of my post that you just replied to did I say disasi’s name once? My post was about trev. Playing out from the back requires a particular skill set, if you stick players in there to do it who can’t, your asking for far more problems than been a bit better at defending, 

if you actually look at the signings for enzo rather than the shit they bought before, they all suit that profile of player, even tosin, great passer, axel had had a snif in a ECL cup qualifier and was shite! No ones defending disasi, him bads, noni mudryk will all be sold
