Chelsea Transfers

I would take Delap, Duran or Isak here if Nkunku leaves. 

In that order, as I think that is from cheapest to most expensive. I think Delap is a great talent and worth going for at 50 mil or less. Could have got Duran for 30 odd previously, but whatever.

Morato has been superb today for Forest

filling in for Murillo

9m quid steal by Forest

far better CB than most of ours (all 3 of Forests top 3 CBs are)

Would love him or Murillo here.

I fear Kolo is exactly the type of player we'll sign as a "panic" buy just before the window shuts.

I believe any chance of signing Duran is long gone now unless you think spending £75m+ for him is smart business (I'd much rather go for Isak at that price if lack of PL experience puts you off Osimhen).

NUFC want 150m+ quid for Isak

I see very little chance they would take less than £130m or so

pass on Kolo Muani, btw

with Lautaro having a meh year

you could make a case that Isak or Gyökeres (who turns 27 in just 5 months) is the 2nd best under 30yo striker atm after Håland (Kane and the ageless Lewa are still in the top 5 to 7 overall) 

the only others remotely in discussion at that level (or nearly there) are Julián Alvarez and Victor Osimhen 

Samu, Sesko, and Duran still need to show a couple more seasons to get there I would say

Marcus Thuram turns 28yo this summer and no chance Inter will sell him with Lautaro struggling, IMHO

wild card is Omar Marmoush

wild wild card is Delap

João Pedro, Matheus Cunha, and Victor Boniface would be expensive dice rolls

still not sold on Hugo Ekitiké, and Watkins is too old (turns 30yo mid-seaons next) for what Villa would demand

Jonathan David would come on a free, so I am fine with that

I think the scouting team has earned some trust. The strikers they wanted in the summer were Duran, Isak, Samu (scoring a lot in Portugal), Gyokeres, Osimhen but only on a fair deal.

I'd be interested in a 2nd striker who presses like Jackson and can play on his own up front

Gabriel Slonina has been recalled from his loan move at Barnsley.

He’s back at Chelsea.

I definitely trust them if they choose Delap. He looks like someone who can be coached into a top striker.

let's wait till other sources confirm this 

He can easily walk in and replace Disasi

[Pizy 19,250]

Anselmino looks VERY promising. But I’m skeptical that he’s going to see much playing time this season. I think this is Maresca and the club wanting him to start training with the big boys for the second half of the season and getting him up to speed for next year. Nice little head start.

with the injuries, I believe he will have a plenty of time playing

Have they paid in full for Hall and whatever is owed from the Livramento deal?

If not, there would be sustainable legroom for us to make a deal happen (not saying I'm pushing for it, just hypothetical).

With regards to your list, I feel like everything is pointing towards Delap, especially if Maresca stays + Ipswich goes down. That aside, it really goes to show the quality of top-out-and-out CFs is at a real low.

Nkunku fire sale, any bidders at all and he goes same day I reckon. £300k a week for a Conference league striker, no thank you.

He reminds me a bit of Torres.. You can see there used to be something there, but it just isn't there anymore

[Thor 2,817]

Delap looks pretty good especially after today lol...

[whats happening 1,660]

we need a proven striker, not another prospect. same with the cb position.
