Chelsea Transfers

[Pizy 18,849]

Only way I’d take a new CB this summer is if it was a clear and significant upgrade on who’s already here. Guehi is absolutely not a clear upgrade on either Trev or Tosin. Even if you might say he’s better it’s not significant enough to warrant a big fee or selling one of the ones we have.

Along with goalkeeper and the defensive midfield positions, I think CB is a place where we assess how things go this season and then go big for top players next summer if necessary. 

Selling or replacing Trev or Tosin after the extremely solid season’s they both just had would be super harsh. And I was a Chalobah skeptic when we first decided to bring him back.

If Jackson goes I assume Emegha will be bought.

That guy isn't better than Chalobah, a complete waste of money. Some of you said the exact same thing with KDH when we already had Carney, a player who was just as good if not better.

If you think it is a waste of money due to who we already have, that is fair but to call him bang average is just stupid. Him and KDH is completely different. Guehi is an established England international and recent FA Cup winner and is courted by the biggest teams. KDH with all respect was never going to be a regular starter here. Guehi is a very good defender.

United have made a bid for Sesko 75ME plus 10ME

Simon Phillips also said that the Wolves are working on a Disasi transfer.

In addition, Chelsea would be open to Basiashile leaving, but he does not want to go and is happy with his role at Chelsea! Chelsea still has the 20% resale clause for Guehi, so something could happen there.

He also said that W. Fofana will be sold if the right offer comes along.

Anselmino will still be loaned out.

Veiga is definitely leaving.

Still no word of an actual bid for Xavi despite being in advanced talks for 2+ weeks now. Both Newcastle and United have been quick to officially bid for Sesko to Leipzig. I hope they’re fine selling both because it looks like that sale will happen first.

At the moment, a loan is under discussion, and West Ham also wants to loan him.

All of the striker market except for Isak look like dice rolls and could easily flop

disagree

all of these would be (or will be) bang-on weapons in the EPL:

Julian Alvarez  (AM would have sold him IF a club dumped enough quid and he already was EPL proven)
Lautaro Martinez  (see Julian, minus the EPL previoud experience)
Viktor Gyökeres  
Victor Osimhen  
Omar Marmoush  (already has showed his quality, I listed him as he was on the market earlier this year)
Jonathan David (the most underrated top 20 CF IMHO)

Using quid in this sentence structure doesn't quite work in slang English. Go with, "IF a club dumped enough dosh...", instead. 🙂

He was comfortably better than Chalobah in the same team last year

Need to be selling Sterling not loaning just take a hit and get shot, loaning is a complete waste

Ben Jacobs says Newcastle could pivot to Jackson as the forward they sign

For that to happen he’d likely have to slash his wage by two thirds. No club is going to pay him even half of what we are currently. That’s what makes his situation so terrible.
