Chelsea Transfers

Everyone thought Frankfurt were hilarious for demanding €100m for Ekitike when we were linked a month ago. And they were right. That’s an insane asking price for a dude who had 1 good but not even GREAT season. I’m glad we stayed away.

But now Liverpool are actually going to almost pay that. Ekitike for €95m! Absolutely outrageous fee for someone who is so far from being the finished product.

Liverpool are just spending for fun. As much as some might be envious of them, that's how you stay on top rather than resting our your laurels.

Still gives me flashbacks of our last league title under Conte, where he demanded real investment and got nothing.

Wonder how Klopp feels watching Liverpool finally spending like this after years and years of him being given a shoestring budget whilst trying to go toe to toe with free spending Pep and City for all those titles. He could’ve won 2-3 more PL titles if he had this sort of backing.

Hard to see how they don’t repeat as champions this season unless this is just too much change too fast. Crazy to win the league at a canter and then change half the starting XI like this.

Don’t think this is what Conte had in mind

Depends on who you buy. 

I'm not as enamoured as some on here by Wirtz. And outside of that they have a squad that is growing older as far as their mainstay players.

Never!

People forget Liverpool didn't spend anything last summer. They are less than 200m in net spent starting from last summer plus more sales expected like Nunez.

Wirtz reminds me of Hazard. If he performs like Eden it would be a disaster for non Liverpool fans, so I really hope that you are right not to be enamoured.

Get it done faster so we can move fast for Simons and Hato.

Because Maresca refused to play him and instead opted to put Gusto out of position, he also took a dig at Maresca when he joined Juventus.

Um, he demanded to be a guaranteed starter and Maresca told him the same as he tells everyone: there are no guaranteed starters, you fight and win the spot if you're the best.

He failed to do that in his time here (he wanted Colwill's spot), gave up and moved on.

At the time I can see why he was frustrated as Colwill has been a huge liability for about 90% of his career with us but he might finally be starting to shape up now so it would be a big decision to push him out just to give Veiga a spot, well rated as he is... Colwill is also super highly rated and loads of clubs would be in for him if we had him available in the market.

I don't recall Veiga playing at CB other than those early conference league games where half the squad was rotated. 

He was primarily used as backup LB and DM as required.

I think he was more frustrated at not being given any chances at CB...

So basically we may end up with Palmer, Simons, Nkunku (if he can't be sold), that Brazilian wonderkid all keen on being #10's  😆

If we are going after that sort of player, why not put in an offer for Eze?    At least he is PL proven.

And they've kept their main players as well. Think be theirs again next season
