IF we cannot (and I doubt we can) sell him

I want Sterling sent to the reserves permanently

let him rot for 2 years and then he will have fuckall left in terms of top level football (he will be closing in on 33yo when his contract ends)

that cunt turned down multiple offers from KSA that would have paid the lickrish bitch even more than he is bloodsuckering us for now (thanks Boehly!)

of all the buys he was arguably the worst, when you factor in his £91m in salary, plus the £47.5m in t-fee

£138.5m (almost 190m USD for our American friends here) down the shitter for that rotter

as you can tell, I really do not like him, lol

in the past 10 years, the only Chels player (speaking personal dislike on a human level) I detest more was Lukaku

I have zero against players I do not rate all, like Disasi. He is a fine bloke, stand up fellow, just a shit CB. KDH, wonderful person, just not Chels quality at the end of the day.

But Sterling, from all that I can see, is a right proper twat, same as Rom was.

You are going a little bit too extreme, 'that cunt'? we gave him the contract, he doesn't want to move his family to Saudi, perfectly understandable approach by him. We can cuss him out, but it is his right to deny a move, especially to such a country as Saudi.

I never rated Sterling even during his highs... was really against the move to get him. 

Get what you can for him. Surely at this point he is clever enough to go somewhere he can actually get game time if he is serious about making another run in the England squad. 

If not - fair enough. Its a lot of money salary wise he'd be missing out on.

I am also crazy frustrated that we agreed to pay him that insane salary, and that is on Boehly, and has been of many things that has put us under the cosh of UEFA and their bollocks FFP.

IF he refuses a buy-out, then I absolutely want him in the reserves though.

It is an all-round bad situ.

The best solution is that he agrees a deal (salary-wise) with some other team, then we just make up the difference (for his last 2 years on his contract with us) with a buy-out, plus get a small fee (£20m seems unlikely, but who knows) in terms of a transfer.

(Free transfer with no further salary contribution by Chelsea also works. Perhaps works better in some ways.)

[Vesper 31,037]

wild card right footed CB we should be looking into

Kevin Lomónaco

[Mário César 1,475]

maybe some turkey team buy sterling

So are we in for a new CB?

Veiga/Disasi/Gilchrist - to be sold

Sarr/Anselmino - to be loaned out

Acheampong - more fullback then CB

Fofana - won't play more than 10 games

Badiashille - he is terrible

That leaves us with Colwill/Chalobah/Tosin - I know they are capable of great game, but the are not consistent enough, trusting them for PL/CL run is suicidal

We need two defenders - an elite RCB and a LB/CB hybrid like Hato 

[Vesper 31,037]

IF PSG keep fucking about with the Ilya Zabarnyi transfer (and they deffo are), we should swoop in for the lad.

From all that I have read, he only wants PSG, so it will not be easy.

Obviously I would have rather had Huijsen, but Zabarnyi is also a rock-solid CB and young (22).

Sources: Newcastle one of the clubs with surprise interest in Chelsea man

Blues are still looking to sell the attacker

https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/sources-newcastle-one-of-the-clubs

Chelsea are now working hard on a number of outgoing transfer deals this summer and it’s safe to say that they have a huge workload here and many players who they want to sell and who could still be sold.

There are plenty of things bubbling up now and potential deals on the cards as Chelsea take interest in a number of their players.

Some are ‘up for sale’, but others are not actively being pushed out yet the club will listen to offers for them, Nicolas Jackson being one of those.

But a player who is actively for sale still is attacking midfielder Christopher Nkunku, and there is a new club showing some interest in him.

According to an SPTC source, Newcastle are the latest club to have expressed an interest in signing the France international with his future still very much being up in the air.

Chelsea are very much looking to replace Nkunku still this summer, but they have a specific and pretty big price tag on his head right now. The attacker has interest from a number of other clubs but nothing has yet advanced.

Newcastle are just showing an interest for now and it’s unclear whether they will push ahead with a move or not.

You can be frustrated by whole situation, wanting to send him to reserves. But calling him 'cunt' because he is earning money from contract we gave him? That's too much.

Sterling's time is done at PL level now, and he won't go to the Championship, he will go to Saudi if anything

[NikkiCFC 8,516]

Bournemouth selling defensive line to Arsenal, Liverpool, Real Madrid, PSG... Petrovic solid buy but will be hard to replace all.

[mkh 748]

Liverpool have finalized a deal with Eintracht Frankfurt to sign 23-year-old forward Hugo Ekitike for £79m (£69m fixed, £10m in performance-based bonuses)

(David Ornstein)

[mkh 748]

Benfica are set to launch a final attack for Joao Felix and hope to close the deal this week.

The transfer would be around 20-25 million euros for 50% of his rights.

If true, that would be awesome.   I didn't mind Felix in the conference league games last season but I never understood the mid season move to Milan 😆

So we got João Pedro & Liam Delap for about the same as Liverpool are paying for Ekitike.

They chose not to activate Kepa's clause, even though it was only 5 million and then went ahead and got Petrovic for 25 million.  

I'm surprised they are allowing both CB's to leave, they must have someone lined up as replacement.

Maybe that transfer helps us with the potential Jackson transfer fee...

Honestly one of the worst pieces of business I've ever seen... 

Unless they think Petrovic is set to become a bonafide superstar.

Xavi Simons deal expected to develop soon, he wants to leave.

Price is under 70ME, Chelsea and Arsenal aware
