Malick Fofana would cost €30m. 

(@laprovence)

Sounds like the kind of investment signing that fits our transfer 'model'.

If not Rogers, I'd be all over Fofana at 30 mil Euro. 

We just sold our third choice GK for that to Bournemouth - more than happy to bring in a super talented prospect who can contribute now.

Liverpool made contact with Frankfurt for Ekitike.

Eze has a £65m release clause—Chelsea could offer players like Trevoh Chalobah

IF we burn Trevoh to partially fund buying luxury player (and already 27yo) Eze, I am going to lose my shit

Trevoh has been magnificent since he came back

he helped completely shut down the hottest/best team on the planet

IF true, we are insane to not jump on that INSTANTLY

that is only £25.9m for a young super talent with bags of potential

I would be super happy with Gittrens and Fofana as our LWers

only players I would like more would be Rogers or Rodrygo, but they both each will cost around £40m to £60m more than Fofana and that dosh needs to go to a LB/CB (hello Hato)

Some of you want Jackson out, but I don't even know if Delap is better.

I think having both would be beneficial I think I would only sell the Jackson if a really good offer came along.

I see it the same way with you. The only aspect I would say Delap is abit better than Jackson currently is finishing. Aside that, Jackson brings alot into the game. Aside poor finishing people just want him gone because he got red carded in 2 matches. One against Newcastle while the other against Flamingo. I remember a season where our Captain R/James got red carded in an important match. People came here saying Chelsea should sell him 😂😂😂. Some are making a case because Jackson didn't take part in the final. It is a long season and no matter our opinions Maresca is a fan of Jackson. The only reason Maresca would let Jackson go is only if he Jackson decides not to stay. When injuries and fatigue come I guess some fans will suggest we buy new strikers 😂

Chelsea have contacted City again this week about Nico O'Reilly and asked for a transfer!

As a left back he could be interesting but otherwise not for me.

We need three strikers. Just like last season, we are going to need to rotate heavily on European nights. Unlike last year however the squad team is sometimes going to have to be on duty for the Premier League game not the European one. One striker resting on the bench, one playing, and one as backup. Unless Enso thinks that Guiu is ready to handle significant minutes in important fixtures then he can't be the third man. In any case, third man is not what his career plan should call for now.

If Jackson is sold we'll need to buy a replacement.

I know that tweet is taking the piss, BUT

£200m (€231m) PLUS Mbappe and they can have Cole 🤣

 

take that £200m and a good chunk of the almsot 90m quid in prize money

and buy Donnarumma (if a no go buy Lucas Chevalier or Diogo Costa) , Hato (LB/CB), Olise (Cole 'replacement'), and Marquinhos (our new 'sort of' Thiago, but far younger)

 

keep Sanchez as backup and sell Jörgensen (or use him as makeweight with PSG or Bayern, etc)

 

Alltime highest transfer fees paid in euros, and not inflation adjusted (and NOT counting add-ons in many, (although not all) cases, like Hazard, who we ended up getting £142.5m total for, non inflation adjusted when all was said and done, which was, without a doubt, the biggest robbery in football history pounds-wise, even more than Barca getting smashed by the Coutinho buy)

EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea make fresh enquiry for Manchester City player

Also, sourced news on Jorrel Hato in this...

https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/exclusive-Chelsea-make-fresh-enquiry

Chelsea are getting to work as they look to have a strong end to the summer transfer window.

The transfer plans have stayed the same despite winning the Club World Cup, and targets they have already had, are being worked on again now.

Chelsea have never stopped speaking with the agents of Jorrel Hato, and they are also once again in contact with Ajax discussing a fee for the young defender.

Hato has been high on Chelsea’s defender list for some time now, but at the moment Chelsea and Ajax are some way apart on agreeing a fee. The player is keen and that side of the deal is pretty much locked in. But Chelsea are now discussing a fee with Ajax.

Hato is looked at as a centre back option on the left, as well as potential cover for Marc Cucurella going into next season.

As well as Hato, Chelsea have made a new enquiry for Manchester City’s rising star Nico O’Reilly, SPTC Sources understand.

 

Chelsea enquired for him in the January window but City swiftly turned away Chelsea’s approaches.

The Blues are asking about him again this window and love the fact that he’s a versatile young player with a lot of quality and can fill a number of positions, including the Cucurella cover that we mentioned above.

O’Reilly has played as a left back, defensive midfielder, centre midfielder, and an attacking midfielder in his career so far. He’s even had some games as a striker!

At the moment, sources have heard that City are really not keen to sell O’Reilly and also, they don’t want another Cole Palmer situation! But Chelsea have asked about him again and will see if anything can be done.

Hato, ongoing situation, Chelsea are working.

Just 7% of Chelsea fans would NOT sell Nicolas Jackson this summer

It's quite clear here

https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/just-7-of-Chelsea-fans-would-not

The big debate of this week has been whether Chelsea should sell Nicolas Jackson or not.

So, what do we do when there are big debates going on? We ask the incredible community on here to give their opinions via a poll.

On this poll, I wish I added another option to say that you’d sell Jackson if a replacement comes in regardless of whether he goes to a Premier League rival or not, but never mind. Either way, I think we got the feel of the fan base in this community via these results.

I asked, are you selling Nicolas Jackson this summer if it's a good fee?

• 39% said yes, regardless of anything else

• 35% said yes, but not to a Premier League rival and only if he’s replaced

• 20% said yes, but not to a Premier League rival

• 7% said no, regardless of anything else

Incredible results really that are very clear, most of us would sell Jackson this summer.

My view?

I’d sell Jackson and I’d not worry about where he goes. I’ve never understood the Premier League rival thing for players like this. If said player wants to go to a rival, then that’s his mindset clear to me, and let them go. We only need to be worrying about ourselves and not our rivals. If we are prepared to sell said player, are we really strengthening an opponent? Is Noni Madueke and Kepa Arrizabalaga really anything to be majorly concerned about at Arsenal? Maybe it makes them better in a deeper squad sense, but does it improve them? I would sell Jackson to whoever pays the fee for him; it’s about getting the most money for him in my view.

I don’t dislike Jackson as a player, far from it - I can appreciate what he offers and what he brings, but it’s just not enough and I just don’t see him as a Chelsea player for the future so if any offer comes in, why not sell now?

I’d probably like to see a striker come in and replace him but again, I’d not see that as the be all and end all. We could easily keep Marc Guiu as the third choice centre forward if that is what we want - he looks like the real deal and it would be good for him to get some domestic cup games. My gut does say that we would need another new striker though but it’s not essential. I might be in the minority thinking that Joao Pedro is a very good 9, and you all know I rate Liam Delap.

But once again, I agree with the mass majority in this poll.

this is a steal for Arse

• Arsenal and Valencia have exchanged documents over the deal for Cristhian Mosquera deal. He’s set to move for €15m plus add-ons, with his medical due to take place today. (Fabrizio Romano)

[Vesper 30,118]

• Big boost for Arsenal as they’re now at the final stages of tying Ethan Nwaneri down to a new contract. Despite speculation, Nwaneri’s preference has always been to stay at Arsenal, and playing time was not a major factor during contract talks. (David Ornstein)
