Chelsea Transfers

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

The rumours linking us with Mario Gila are getting more traction. While I don’t think it will happen, the prospect of having a very technical, super pro-active almost playmaking defender is exciting but I do have some reservations about his lack of physicality. I think he would be well suited for Marescaball but not the best in the air so might struggle with some PL oppositions

I haven’t seen anything?

AFC Bournemouth have offered €40 million + bonuses to Lazio for centre back, Mario Gila. 🇪🇸

Amid recent interest in the 24-year-old as previously reported, may be an interesting one to watch in the coming days. 👀

That last link should say "former Real Madrid youth defender"

Gila looks like the profile that would work well for us. However, I haven't seen him play. Anyone know if he is actually any good?

Feels like all rumors and links just died stone cold the second the June 10 deadline lapsed. Haven’t seen any transfer talk since even though the window back open, right?

Dumb and dumber will be on holiday no doubt, if they aren't they will be in the maternity unit of the local hospital searching for the next up and coming talent

Or they’re so obsessed with Gittens and he’s our only LW target and they’re therefor waiting until after the CWC for him. 🤦‍♂️

Well knowing the kind of players they target I won't be surprised if he gets an injury in the next couple of weeks that rules him out for most of next season. Not that it will stop them from buying him of course...

I really just thought/hoped that with UCL achieved and with the positive vibes around the club after 3 years of misery, the owners would go out and go BIG for a marquee signing like Liverpool have done with Wirtz and then the rest of the buys would be smart, opportunistic ones like Delap. And that we’d do so early in the summer so that player could get settled in and hit the ground running.

There’s still a lot of the transfer window left but I feels like there’s zero buzz about us going for any truly top class, ready made player. We’re still going to be shopping for the same targets we would’ve done had we finished 7th or something.

The club has done really well with attacking talent for the most part and people are in shambles about our targets, despite from a stats perspective rating very well. 

Gittens statistically is better than Nico Williams, yet people are acting as if there is a major gap between the two.

Thing is, we’ve hoarded a hundred “talent’s” already. This should be the summer where we supplement those young and developing players with experienced quality to help us push on and become a serial contender for the league and UCL again. Instead, it appears we’re just going to obsessively hoard more young players who may be years away from reaching their potential. If they ever even do.

Not sure if you have being living under a rock but UCL was never going to change the model, if anything it will tell these guys they are on the right path.

talent , potential it's not enough when you elite club and you want titlies you can have  talent young players when you mix them with proven ,experience players like PSG do , or Real  Madrid last years but only with potential you can do it in Brighton if they are 4 or 10 in the table nobody cares

Done really well with the attacking talent???

Who are you referring to exactly?

Bar Cole Palmer, who have these guys brought in that is truly Chelsea level? I’m struggling to think of one player…. 
 

When i say Chelsea level, I’m talking about the level Roman built us up to.. not this bang average mentality being installed by the new owners who have fans like yourself willing subscribing to.

It doesn’t need to change 180 degrees. They can still pursue the best young talent out there. But that can’t be the ONLY kind of player we buy or we’re never going to win anything. Because our rivals are busy buying players who are already top quality rather than what could become great 3+ years from now.

I don’t disagree, but they are not going to do it, and it’s the same every transfer window, the expectation to reality is crazy

Tbh, the champions league win under TT kinda masks the fact we was in decline well before these owners took over
