Pizy 18,927 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Huijsen just seems like such a stupid signing/target for our current team. He’s obviously a big talent and could become a top CB in a few years but that’s just not the profile we need right now. He’s not a defender who comes in and elevates us, settles things down, and organizes the whole team from the back like a JT/VVD/Kompany/Thiago Silva. That is what we desperately need. A general at the back who takes command on the pitch. Signing yet another kid in such a massively important position feels like malpractice. He’ll be just like Colwill has been where he can look brilliant at times but will make too many errors because he’s a kid. We need stability and experience from whichever CB we sign this summer, not another teenager. Huijsen is the sort of CB that is the perfect signing for a club like Liverpool where he can learn alongside VVD and be gradually phased in over a season or two. Putting him next to Colwill feels like a bad idea. Unless Maresca is planning to switch to a back 3 next season I just can’t see this going well. kexik 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkh 596 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 🚨 There is already a favourable relationship between Chelsea and Dean Huijsen’s agents, and Chelsea and Bournemouth successfully did business over GK Kepa last summer.

milka 3,393 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Of course City will get Diogo Costa, United Osimhen , Arsenal Gyokeres we are fine with Sanchez , Michael Jackson and some more kids with potential . mkh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkh 596 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Chelsea do have other defensive targets. That includes Ajax’s Jorrel Hato and Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite – should they decide to look elsewhere. they will conduct a summer review of their goalkeeping position to establish whether or not they enter the market or choose two of Robert Sánchez, Filip Jorgensen, Djordje Petrovic or Mike Penders to be their first-choice pair next season. (via@Matt_Law_DT) Chelsea want to sign Kenan Yildiz and have contacted both his camp and Juventus.

Strike 7,491 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 (edited) 6 hours ago, mkh said: Ali Barat working alongside Dean Huijsen, Barat is close to Egbhali and worked on several Chelsea incomings recently. Rare occasion Eghbali/Boehly connections may actually be useful Many agents have done a number of them and got them to do completely unnecessary deals. Recent report showed Chelsea paid 60m in agent fees, comfortably higher than any other club in the last few years.

(via@Santi_j_FM) So many good GKs we passed up on because this board was convinced of its scouting. Petrovic, Sanchez, Jorgensen - how can you have 3 attempts and not land anyone remotely solid? Especially when Costa, Marmadashvili, Raya etc were on the market. I hope they send Penders on loan to Strasbourg and sign a good GK finally.

Jonathan Tah would be a great free signing, but his salary demands will be crazy and he will never come here if we do not have CL. The clear frontrunners for him are Real Madrid (especially if Xabi Alonso goes there), Barca, and Bayern. I disagree on Huijsen. I think he is already good to go. Do you say the same thing about Murillo that you say about Huijsen? Who do you think we should go for at CB? Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(via@Santi_j_FM) that would be so Chels Citeh get a great GKer for only £34m and we have dropped well over £200m (Kepa adjusted for inflation plus all the rest after him) and have no one (yet, Pemders may get there ina few years) remotely WC for all that dosh. mkh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
