mkh 597 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I'm also told that it's very unlikely that Chelsea will get Marc Guehi this month without outgoings or doing something in the other direction. via@Matt_Law_DT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkh 597 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) I have been told that depending on outgoings, Chelsea could look to accelerate transfer plans, they might be able to do things now rather than in the summer. It also depends on opportunities. (@Matt_Law_DT) Guehi & Delap👀 West Ham are interested in Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and are pushing for a loan deal with Chelsea.

Pizy 18,928 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Don’t really see the point in Ugo returning from loan. He’s not top PL club level and would only be playing during the other competitions where we already play a fully rotated team. As for Delap & Guehi, I still just find it impossible to think their clubs would sell such key players mid-season. Delap in particular is pretty much their only goal scorer. They’d be toast if they sold him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guehi has less than 18 months left on his contract, so arguably he's be cheaper in the summer, which may motivate Palace to sell in this transfer window.

lluubbeenn 174 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Are you guys all ok with Delap. He has the City connection and looks to be comfortable battling for every ball, but I still have a lot of questions on his technical ability. There is a chance he flops making the jump to a top team this early and under a considerable amount of pressure (top 4 race). January is always a tricky period for transfers as everyone who is remotely available has some kind of a drawback. It seems it is the 10th window in a row we need to deal with many outgoings first... I believe we need a body in defence, midfield and attack. Do we recall someone from loan or loan someone or buy someone I am not so sure. mkh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy now and get later does us no good when we badly need another striker ASAP. With Guehi, I don’t see him being cheap even in the summer with a year remaining because there will be multiple big clubs vying for him which will drive up the price.

lluubbeenn 174 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 As for concrete targets by position: - CB - with Fofana and Badi we are ok, without them- not so much. It will be hard to buy someone outright as we already have 5-6 players here. If possible, recalling Chalobah seems the only logical solution for this window. I don't think Skriniar loan deal is possible. Big statement signing here is needed, but It will be better for both the player and the club for the said player to have a complete preseason first. - CM - Caicedo and Enzo are left all alone with about 30-40 games to go(depends how well the cups go). Lavia is a huge liability fitness wise. Rumours surrounding KDH, Carney and Casadei. Who will play? Again I cant see a permanent solution here as Santos will be in the squad next year. Ugo is a possibility. He should be ok for the Conference and has the characteristic of a great squad player, if he can improve and simplify his game. - ST - We absolutely NEED a backup striker. I hope to never see Nkunku in this position ever again. Theoretically Guiu can fill the role. We haven't seen enough of him in the pl to be sure if he can do at least a bit. Signing a big striker in January seems impossible. Players like Delap, Ferguson on loan or Cunha are probably not good enough and will more or less block the development of Guiu and the possibility of a top striker in the summer. If City really are after the Marmoush deal, we should do everything to hijack it. He looks like a player entering his prime and diverse enough to do well. He should fancy his chances against Jackson a lot more than against Haaland. The other problem except competing with the champions for him is that he is African and we will be without any strikers for a month or two next year...

Not exactly thrilled by the prospect, especially at the rumoured £50m price tag. I'm sure Marmoush will start one way or another for City, as a WF or alongside Haaland. At £50m, it seems like a smart move, and it doesn't surprise me that most top sides in the EPL have some interest in him. The timing of the next AFCON (starts in Dec '25 because of the CWC) could certainly be an issue considering how our squad is, though.

mkh 597 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has definitely opened doors to January exit. PSG, on it. Paris Saint-Germain, favorites and in direct contact with Napoli — as revealed today. Package around €80m discussed while Kvara’s camp in talks with PSG over personal terms, progressing well. (via@Fabrizio Romano) Nooo pls😵💫 Chelsea are interested in a swap deal for Marc Guehi involving Trevoh Chalobah; however, wages could be a stumbling block. Chalobah could ask for more than his £80,000 a week at Chelsea. Also, Palace would also prefer not to do a swap deal.

TheHulk 2,466 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) So let me get this straight City want 2 up and coming amazing talents like Reis and Kushanov whereas were linked with two bang average defenders from Palace and Bournemouth, fuck me we never learn.

Pizy 18,928 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 We’re now being linked with Kvara. I love him as a player but why are we interested in another attacking midfielder, ffs?! Even if we can all assume Mudryk is done here we still are well stocked. And have Estevão coming in in the summer. He’ll almost surely go to PSG or elsewhere but man. Use this kind of money on areas of actual need! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
