MoroccanBlue 5,390 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Wouldn’t sell Enzo at all. He’s getting better every season and looks to be in the mix of everything we create. His passing and progressive stats are also among the top 1-3% in the league. bigbluewillie, Atomiswave and Fernando 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can throw in Disasi unless his performances have done enough to scare them off. 😄 Disasi's performances for them would have surely scared them off. Cost them plenty of points, made critical mistakes in knockout games. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go out to tempt Rogers if we're serious about any attacking mid. I'm happy to sacrifice Madueke for him OneMoSalah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone and their dog should know by now that he can't play in that position at this level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, Rice is the only sort of elite player in that midfield and having two (perhaps) elite CMs is usually what the really great sides have. Far more reliable that way if you want to stay strong for a whole league campaign. If they also get an elite CF finally it will be a genuinely generational team for them that they have been waiting for in last 20 years.

Anyway of engineering a move to get Mudryk out of the club would be great but won’t happen barring a miracle.

Send Sancho back (apparently he’s unsure of a future here anyway) and avoid Gittens also. From what I’ve seen of Gittens he reminds me exactly of Sancho in the Bundesliga. Dortmund looks his level. I mean Sancho is literally ultimate proof of why we should avoid Gittens - done well in Germany, struggled in England at 2 big clubs. If these sporting director cunts sign both of them its even more shit to add to the list of why they should be sacked. GK, CB, CF defo higher priority. And any well run club would prioritise these.

Ideally, yes, but I think the club and Maresca genuinely really like Sancho. Tbf, I won’t be bothered either way. If he stays I’m fine with him as an often used squad player. His production could seriously improve playing with a proper CF for all we know. But if we decide to move on I’m fine with it too so long as we don’t replace him with someone not even as good as he’s been which is spotty. Or maybe the club does nothing in the market out wide and makes Tyrique George a bigger part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbluewillie 1,937 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Please no! such an in/out player, more out than in. Chelsea have opened talks to sign AC Milan winger Rafael Leao, with the Serie A side prepared to let the 25-year-old Portugal international leave for around £63.5m.

I agree, and up until 3 months ago, the kid was only 18! he has crazy upside Gittens is soon 21yo (obviously still young as well, but has far more topflight gametime) George may well be a better (perhaps far better) player at that age (21) than Gittens and Tyrique doesn't cost us 50m, 60m quid (at minimum, as Dortmund are looking to get 80-100 million euros for him, ffs.)

Vesper 30,369 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) Exclusive: Chelsea exploring shock move to bring back Antonio Rudiger https://www.footballtransfers.com/en/transfer-news/tag/exclusive-newsnow/exclusive-Chelsea-transfer-news-antonio-rudiger-real-madrid-steve-kay FootballTransfers understands that Chelsea are exploring a shock move to bring Antonio Rudiger back to Stamford Bridge. We have been told that the Blues have reached out to the defender's camp in recent days to be kept informed on Rudiger’s future at Real Madrid, with early groundwork being laid for a potential summer swoop. The West London side are understood to be "ready to negotiate" if given the green light for a move that would reunite the German superstar with his former club three years after his painful departure on a free transfer. Rudiger is generally happy at Real Madrid, but a change of scenery could be needed, with sources close to the player informing us that the 32-year-old has become increasingly difficult to deal with in recent months. One source familiar with recent developments revealed: “It’s been tense. He’s clashed with people in his inner circle, and it’s made discussions on certain matters extremely difficult.” Most notably, Rudiger is said to have fallen out with his brother and agent, Sahr Senesie, just before Christmas. The exact reason for the dispute is unknown, but it became so heated that the Los Blancos star threatened to cut ties entirely. Chelsea not worried about Rudiger's personality Despite the personal drama, Chelsea believe the German international remains a world-class asset. “He’s a leader, a warrior, exactly what this Chelsea dressing room needs,” a club source said. “There’s no fear about his personality. If anything, that fire is what we’re missing.” And there may be cause for optimism. Rudiger previously spoke with deep affection about his time in London, stating in 2022: "Chelsea will always be in my heart. London will always be my home." While Real Madrid have yet to take a firm stance, the situation could escalate quickly. In recent months, there has been talk of a potential contract extension, but in light of the player's antics in the Copa del Rey final, which resulted in a six-game ban, the LaLiga giants could reconsider his role in the team. Moreover, with Eder Militao nearing a return to the pitch and Madrid showing interest in Arsenal’s William Saliba and Bournemouth’s Dean Huijsen, the two-time Champions League winner's position may come under threat.
