Chelsea Transfers

[Special Juan 28,141]

I'm not taking Delap because of the price tag, as I'm not paying it, the player we need is Gyokares but like I have said all along we will go for the Poundland option

[DDA 9,934]

Why on Earth are we not going for Goykeres? Why???

wages i bet….

It's based on the lesser of two evils. None of us are paying a dime, but the idea of spending €80m~ on Ekitike, not Gyokeres or Osimhem will just hold us back.

I can't get behind someone banging goals for a side in Portugal and that won't change (don't want to hear about his exploits for Sweden considering the opposition). If the buzzword is gamble, I'd prefer us to bet on a different horse.

I feel like for £60m even if Gyokeres doesn’t live up to the insane numbers he’s putting up now and “only” scored 20 in the PL that’s a great deal. That’s the kind of price that doesn’t hurt you at all long term like someone £85-100m flopping might. And at 25 he’d still have tons of resale value if he ever needed to be moved on which I know our board cares about.

This is a player we should be moving for with the speed that Liverpool have moved with their targets thus far. The fact that we aren’t really seeing our name linked by anyone worth a damn tells me that he has probably already been convinced by another club. Annoyingly, that’s probably Arse. 🤦‍♂️

Collectively we pay for it all in the end. Tickets, TV rights fees, sponsorship deals, kit deals, advertising. we are the ultimate source of all that money.

Breaking News EXCL: Chelsea are planning potential pre-agreement for Emanuel Emegha to join in summer 2026.

NO chances for 22 year old striker to leave Strasbourg this summer; he’ll lead the line in Europe as key part of the project 🇫🇷

Chelsea like him as possible option for the future.

We saw this coming when our name was linked with him a week or two ago. May as well lock him up now and see how he does with another season of development at Strasbourg.

There have been indications that Chelsea could try to sign a new goalkeeper. Rival clubs believe that Chelsea could be tempted to sell their current No 1, Robert Sánchez. (via @JacobSteinberg)

I was going to mention that, but I thought it would be rebuffed considering that's over an extended period. He are the cash cows in the long run.

Wages is partly it as he is hyped and 25 so expects his major contract. 

Other issues are that he didn't look great in the PL the last time he was here and that he has only performed in the Champo and Portuguese league (which is essentially like the Scottish league with sun and three teams instead of two.)

On £300kpw~. Until they become less reluctant to offer players their worth, in form players won't be joining this club. That's something the board cares a great deal about.

If his wage demands are that high then I can’t blame the club for being weary but this is what you have to do if you want top players. They have to decide this summer whether they want to battle for 4th again or they actually want to achieve things.

It’ll make these guys look like absolute fools if Gyokeres joins our hated London rival who also desperately need a striker and he is Haaland 2.0 whilst we just sat back and watched him go there.
