Chelsea Transfers

[Pizy 19,379]

I hate dealing with German clubs, man. Cheap as fuck when trying to sign players but dig their heels in like a stubborn ox when anyone wants their players. Even the biggest and wealthiest German clubs act like penny pinchers. 

This “we MUST sell before we can bring anyone else in” shit is rage inducing. We’ve got players who have apparently been desperate and waiting to join only us for weeks and weeks and yet we’re keeping them in limbo because we need to sell first. Both Xavi & Garnacho (despite what I think of him) have reportedly been turning down massive clubs because they want Chelsea. And yet there doesn’t seem to be any urgency from our end.

Maresca believes he has no like for like Colwill replacement to build attacks and wants a centre back. Chelsea decision makers disagree and have told him to find an internal solution because their chequebook is closed for centre back.

Chelsea value Bayern Munich target Christopher Nkunku at £43m.

lol no way we can get this from him

[mkh 796]

FC Bayern and Christopher #Nkunku have reached a full verbal agreement. Personal terms are 100% agreed, as Christo wants to join Bayern.

However, Chelsea still want a permanent deal, as previously reported, while Bayern are considering a loan. There is no agreement on the structure of the deal yet after new negotiations over the weekend.

Further talks between the clubs are expected. Max Eberl pushing hard but it’s very difficult.

Again. If true, very worrying.

Madness. 

[Pizy 19,379]

Again, I really like the look of Acheampong and he could go on to grow into a great player. But the thought of him being used as an every match starter and going up against the likes of Haaland or other world class forwards makes me nervous.

It’s even more nervy because you also have bloody Sanchez behind him.

the mess was made when they brought badi and disasi

Tosin Fofana Badiashile and Hato will be there to help protect Josh from having to be a starter every week.

Are they at least keeping around Renato Veiga? He's really the only one who can internally solve the problem

We bought only shite in defense but make due with it will you. Our best defender is still an academy product which they almost sold to Brighton, what a bunch of idiots.

[Vesper 31,181]

  most, if not all of these these deadweights or not-neededs (Nico, Carney) are going to ratfuck us as we are going to have a crazy hard time selling most now or later

they earn around £1.4M PW a week in salary in toto, ie around £73m or so per year

and many are now trash (or always were)

Sterling, Wes Fofana, Muddy, and Nkunku

Fofana and Nkunku were already damaged goods when we bought them too, which is insane

Go get him….I don’t care if we don’t need him.

Would be super useful but we’ve gone and spent on Gittens and are saving money for Garnacho

Yeesh, barring Chillwell, the rest of them were stockpiled by these guys.

They are getting better, but they need to have more signings like Estavao and Palmer, as opposed to squad fillers like Disasi. The fact that that a lot of them are on long contracts can't help either.

As expected we are struggling to move on a bunch of players. Apparently that also blocks us from signing a couple of players, but the most worrying part is the lack of understanding between the manger and the club. We are starting the season on a massive positive wave and we all know how things can get very bad very fast. Hope we manage to get through August with positive results both on the pitch and on the transfer market. COYB!
