Chelsea value Veiga at more than £20m and could look at signing a back up left back should he leave. (@Matt_Law_DT)

El Hadji Malick Diouf

This all just reflects so poorly on whoever was in charge of recruitment this past summer. Our good form up until Christmas time was sort of masking just how poor that window was and now that we have been poor it’s being brought into more focus.

-KDH has been a disaster of a buy.

-Veiga looked promising but clearly doesnt’ have Maresca’s confidence so barely plays

-did that utterly absurd deal with Villa where we bought some kid that never had a prayer of ever wearing a Chelsea shirt

-spent a very good chunk of change on Felix (who I still love as a player) and Maresca has barely played him

-refused to buy the striker that everyone in all of world football knew we badly needed and thought it was wise to gamble our entire season on Jackson suddenly becoming super clinical

I think both Neto and Sancho have been solid and Tosin is a decent enough squad player. But other than that, what a shit show. We need to go for some experienced, finished article players of proven quality over these next windows. Enough trying to be the smartest guy in the room and searching for the next gem that’s cheap and then explodes into a star.
 

We are a couple of key pieces away from being a serious team. World class finisher, top CB. Stop messing about with bang average guys who you can see from a million miles away aren’t Chelsea quality.

Veiga is trouble. Had a few fines already and banished form the squad for misbehaving. It didn't come to light until noningotnexcluded also.

Maresca doesn't want a bad egg in the squad

unless you put up LEGIT, documented sources on this all, I am calling serious bullshit

absolutely

[Mário César 1,008]

we bought angelo (who has already been sold), casadei, chuka (from villa), veiga and now we'regoing to sell them all

just shows that we're buying for the sake of buying.
what a pointless thing to do

the profit that we made and will do from this sales is so small that is so sad that we are wasting money with this kids and sell them from slightly above amounts that we brough him

Latest update on our exclusive Renato Veiga (21/🇵🇹) news: Understand the valuation gap between BVB and Chelsea is not significant. CFC prefer a permanent transfer for the talented centre-back or a loan with an obligation to buy. The initial asking price is around €20m.

⚫️🟡 Dortmund, however, favor a loan with an option to buy. Veiga is keen on returning to Germany as he seeks more playing time. Securing a spot in Portugal’s 2026 World Cup squad is crucial for him.

Chelsea already exploring alternative options for centre-backs. 🔵 @SkySportDE

If Reece finally manages to stay fit Maresca would probably just use Gusto out of position on the left if needed. 🤦‍♂️

Its hard to believe that chilwell is not good enough to play, but we all know that board want him gone

I'd have to imagine what happened recently with Noni & him is playing a part.

Selling someone we just bought at his age just screams money. No plan in place at all if he ends up leaving permanently.

Chelsea are continuing to track Patrick Dorgu

🗣️ @FabrizioRomano

This transfer has looked nailed on for months. He had this to say in the past - https://chelseanews.com/blog/Chelsea-transfer-news-patrick-dorgu/

a new LB we buy, I would guess

The two listed above (Dorgu or El Hadji Malick Diouf)

or the more traditional targets (many of whom are hard AF pulls)  

Nuno Mendes  hard AF pull
Federico Dimarco  hard AF pull
Alphonso Davies hard AF pull
Theo Hernández  hard AF pull
Rayan Aït-Nouri 
Jorrel Hato   (can play CB as well)
Milos Kerkez 
Antonee Robinson  (but turns 28 this coming summer)
Miguel Gutiérrez (but Real Madrid have a buy-back clause)
Quilindschy Hartman (but has a horrid injury)
Álvaro Carreras  
Jayden Oosterwolde
Bradley Locko 
Nathaniel Brown
Diego León (may be going to Manure)

Veiga going to Dortmund. Another pointless signing… make a profit on him surely but still, thought this club was more than just a BUSINESS.

New owners needed as soon as possible.

Don’t know how we can blame the owners here. They didn’t scout and pick out a random Portuguese kid playing in Switzerland for Basel. This really looks like some data driven scout who looked at players who were statistically and stylistically similar to Calafiori who we wanted but lost out on.

What we can blame Clearlake for is their complete obsession with the future years and years from now rather than making just a few super key signings that can bridge that gap now. They even have Maresca repeating that stuff with his “in a few years Chelsea could be in position to dominate English football” language.

Which may become reality at some point but we need to build a solid foundation NOW in order to eventually get there which means getting UCL football ASAP. But that will require a couple of signings that they’re so far refusing to go and get.
