Chelsea Transfers

[mkh 235]

@siphillipssport linked Chelsea to Liam Delap today. 

So, are you going to trust the scouts or have a meltdown?

🤔🤔

Don't forget the Duran deal to Chelsea didn't work out because Conor Gallagher didn't want to go to Aston Villa!!!😪😵‍💫

At this point, just keep an eye on players who are or once were part of City's youth set up (four of them scored in the EPL at the weekend).

A side note, I really like the look of Rogers. It's a shame we're stacked where WF/AM are concerned.

no

we could have bought him and sold Conor still (and still bought Felix to grease that) to Atleti

we not only fucked about with Shamu and Osimhen...................

BUT we also dropped (and this was with Villa)  €22.5m on Omari Kellyman (ANOTHER left-footed AMF/winger type, one of like 11 or 12 we now have, we could have just dropped the extra £21m and bought DURAN, and NOT bought some below, especially KDH OR sold some of the ones listed below that and not fucked about with Shamu and Osimhen)

plus

we also dropped (in terms of players who I either do NOT rate or are, like Kellyman, pure prosepects)

    
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall    €35.40m
     
Filip Jørgensen    €24.50m
     
Mike Penders    €20.00m

Caleb Wiley    €10.10m

112.5m euros there (94m quid) in toto

 

Villa only wanted £40m for Duran

Kellyman and KDH cost almost £50m

Jørgensen and KDH cost £50m

we already had Petro for GKer (who is playing great at Strasbourg btw) so zero need to dump out the cash for Jørgensen, OR if we wnated him no matter what, we could have sold Sanchez (I would have preffered that, I still am ragaing over why we ever bought him)

plus we were so busying fucking about with crazy complicated buys (multiple ones which blew up in our face) that we did not concentrate HARD on perma sales for suplus goods

we should have ALWAYS been trying to PERMA dump (from the moment the season ended, but no, we fucked about until it was too late)

Badi

Disasi

Chilwell

Broja (no buy obligation, no loan fee and only we also will pay his entire salary until Broja is ready to play)

Trevoh Chalobah  (no buy obligation)

Kepa Arrizabalaga (no buy obligation)

David Datro Fofana (no buy obligation)

Alfie Gilchrist (no buy obligation)

[Vesper 28,403]

the absolute shit buys since Roman's last year (the Lukaku nightmare buy)

I am not even counting the massive overpays for Caicedo and Enzo

the first 3 (italics) are looking dodgy so far, especially KDH

Omari Kellyman    Aston Villa      £19.10m (unless he blows up this may well be a bold rotter bust buy, especially as it helped to cost us DURAN, as shown above)
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall    Leicester City    Leicester    £30.00m
Filip Jørgensen    Villarreal CF    Villarreal    £20..50m

Axel Disasi    AS Monaco    Monaco    £38.50m
Robert Sánchez    Brighton & Hove Albion    Brighton    £25.00m
Deivid Washington    Santos FC    Santos    £13..50m 
Wesley Fofana    Leicester City    Leicester    £75.00m including add-ons (massive overpay due to his being damaged goods BEFORE we bought him)
Mykhaylo Mudryk    Shakhtar Donetsk    Shakhtar D.    £60.00m + add-ons that take it to £89.00m
Raheem Sterling    Manchester City    Man City    £47.50m (plus an insane £325K PW 5 year contract)
Kalidou Koulibaly    SSC Napoli    SSC Napoli    £35.00m
Benoît Badiashile    AS Monaco    Monaco    £34.00m
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang    FC Barcelona    Barcelona    £10.50m
David Datro Fofana    Molde FK    Molde FK    $10.50m
Romelu Lukaku    Inter Milan    Inter    £97.50m with add-ons and subtracting loyalty payment from Inter to us (£118.10m now  in September 2024 when adjusted for pound sterling inflation!)

 

£566.20m in toto (gross transfer fees + some add-ons) when Lukaku is adjusted for inflation and the Mudryk add-ons are included

£448.10m (gross fees + some add-ons) of that is on Bo-Clownlake

for the Americans here, that £566.20m is over 3/4ers of a BILLION US dollars gross spend ($750.52 million at current FOREX rates)

Other than Wes Fofana (IF he stays healthy, but we still paid double what he was worth IMHO even then, as he was damaged goods) every player listed is either SHIT or (the first 3) potential (if not likely) shit.

The 474th CIES Football Observatory Weekly Post presents the top 50 creators of chances in today world football, both in the Europe's big-5 and in 60 other leagues around the globe, according to an exclusively developed index (see below). The top Portuguese talent João Neves (Paris St-Germain) outranks the iconic Lionel Messi (Inter Miami).

 

For the five major European leagues, João Neves is ahead of Cole Palmer (Chelsea), Romano Schmid (Werder Bremen) and Lamine Yamal (Barcelona). At the level of the other 60 leagues included in the analysis, two Spaniards rank after Lionel Messi: Iñigo Vicente (Racing de Santander) and Riqui Puig (Los Angeles Galaxy). The youngest players in the top 50s are Lamine Yamal and Kenan Yildiz for the big-5, as well as Kendry Páez (Independiente del Valle, on loan from Chelsea) for the other leagues.

The chance creation index is calculated on a scale of 100 by adding the frequency of passes leading to a goal or a clear chance, passes made to the assistman (second assist), as well as passes breaking the opposition's defensive line received by a teammate (Wyscout). More explanations in this Monthly Report. The data refer to the current season's domestic league matches. Only footballers who played at least 360' have been included in the rankings.

Chance creation index ranking

Domestic league matches, current season until 30/09/2024.

https://thedailybriefing.io/i/149653761/murillo-would-be-very-expensive-for-Chelsea

So guys, I’ve seen the rumours about Murillo and Chelsea, and what I can say is that Chelsea are following several players in the centre-back position but no talks taking place yet.

There are so many links but there’s nothing concrete or really advanced now.

Also, Murillo would be very expensive for any club as when Juventus thought about him last summer, Nottingham Forest didn't want to open the doors for him to leave.

Chelsea will look for Chukwuemeka solution in the new year

Sticking with Chelsea, Carney Chukwuemeka is still not playing. Why?

Enzo Maresca has always been very honest and clear with his players, and has never hidden things, even when he speaks to the press in public.

Maresca clarified that the plan this summer for Chelsea was for Carney to leave, but only to a club that would give him a good opportunity.

A club where he could play 38 games, not moving to a club where he was not going to be a regular starter.

This was why Chelsea rejected many approaches from Milan and others during the summer transfer window.

Carney ended up staying of course but he's not playing, so the club will look for a solution in January.

The player wants to play and Chelsea don't want him to stay out of the squad for too long, so work is in progress already.
