The next wave of talent are already on our books, so it's whether they live up to the hype or given the time to adjust to the EPL.

Joao Felix: “I didn’t ask AC Milan to play every game, just to play in my position… and Sergio Conceicao wanted exactly to put me in my best position. That was crucial for me to pick AC Milan.” Pablo Barrios to Chelsea? Reports in Spain claim the Atletico Madrid midfielder is a €70m target for the Blues… Could Raheem Sterling be heading to the MLS next summer? Simon Phillips has an update on the Chelsea misfit.

Doesn't necessarily mean they wont be sent to a bomb squad! Raheem and Chilly are basically impossible to sell but they were both sent there anyway. Probably take a loan deal with us paying a chunk of wages for any of them and just manage them out through the remaining years of their contract, not much else we can do really.

Broja Washington Datro Fofana It's going to be another busy summer in terms of departures!!! Hopefully additions too. Simon also said that we have already drawn up lists for the following players for the positions we want to strengthen in the summer: Goalkeeper: Chevalier, Kobel, Kellher, Trafford Defenders: Huijsen has a release clause of £50M from summer 25, A.Silva, Guehi, T.Araujo, Zabarnyi, J.Branthwaite, R.Dias, Murillo Chelsea have already had an offer rejected by Nottingham Forrest this January. And M.Sarr who has already been signed for summer 25. Striker: L.Delap current favorite of Chelsea. Gyökeres, Sesko, Isak would be very expensive for Chelsea. Outfield players: Gittens, Garnacho, Nico Williams has a release clause of £49M, Nico O'Reilly, Dibling, Sancho has already been signed for summer 25.🗨 This club is run by fucking cowboys. That list if accurate, for the bomb squad, how many were signed in the past 24 months? Absolutely ridiculous. Those 2 charlatans in charge of sporting direction need to go. Some of the players we are being linked to as well, abysmal. Not in a million years would some of these players be good enough for the club.

King Kante 1,643 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 17 hours ago, MoroccanBlue said: Watch us buy Delap for nearly the same amount as Gyorkeres' release clause. Well the fee may be the same but the wages will be different. £60m+£120k wages vs £60m+£300k wages on 6 year contract is actually £97,440,000 v £153,600,000. That is the way the club will look at it, plus the projected value of the player at years 2-5 of their contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I'd like to think there is a board meeting today to actually now start seriously talking about THAT striker, not 3 or 4 in an identity parade but one single target that we are going to go for, get and not to fuck about haggling over 1m either way and all that shite. If we get this next striker appointment wrong there is serious serious issues OneMoSalah and bigbluewillie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,319 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Lampard has made it clear he was "pushing" for Erling Haaland , before the Norway international made his move from RB Salzburg to Borussia Dortmund, (£18.75m). "People talk a lot about mistakes or things that could have been in football. Whether he [Haaland] would have come here, I don't know but I was pushing big, he was the outstanding one. Was it close? He'll only know the answer to that. From our point, I was certainly pushing it." Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
