Chelsea Transfers

[mkh 596]

Are these players not subject to the UEFA transfer rule: 

Disasi, Felix, Veiga, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Madueke, Cesare Casadei, Chukwuemeka?

Were all of these players registered in the UEFA Conference League squad list in phase 1?

In phase 2, Mathis Amougou joined the squad. Casadei, Disasi, Felix, and Chukwuemeka changed clubs or were loaned out and were no longer registered in phase 2.

The UEFA squad rules are fucking absurd. We’ll have apparently made ~£250m in players sales once this Veiga deal goes through and that won’t do anything for us under these rules. What kind of bullshit is that?

We will have balanced the books better than any club in Europe and yet are in a bind and forced to sell before buying because we didn’t balance the books in one specific way that UEFA wants it done. It’s ridiculous.

It's intended to be a sanction, a punishment in other words.

Sources: Chelsea have scouted Alejandro Garnacho for 8 years

He's actually a long time target

https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/sources-Chelsea-have-scouted-alejandro

This transfer window has been a very odd one. The Alejandro Garnacho hype has been a little bit odd, and the fact he is allegedly turning down Bayern Munich and any other club and is only desperately waiting for Chelsea, is also a little odd. But anyway, this is a sourced article so I’m not getting into any of that for now.

The point is, he’s actually been a Chelsea ‘target’ for many years and the club scouts have had him on the radar since he was in the youth setup at Atletico Madrid. Chelsea scouts have been racking up the data on him ever since and had passed all his info onto the new directors when they came in.

Chelsea scouts continued to watch him. and his data is something that is admired by the sporting directors, who are all keen on signing him, not just Paul Winstanley. Although the latter has been one of those behind the latest big push to sign him.

Chelsea scouts rate the player a lot and have been watching him for nearly 8 years. You will remember an exclusive report on this site a year or so back reporting our latest interest in Garnacho when he was just coming through at Manchester United.

All the sporting directors are on board with the signing and we’ve even heard from our sources that his brother, who has been known to be a bit of a trouble maker, has moved back to Spain and does not influence Alejandro.

So that is the info we’ve had this week, not my opinion, just FYI.

Madueke's fee is taken into account, as is KDH. Unfortunately due to the sale price of KDH, it won't actually contribute towards the amount of money Chelsea need to make.

this is the difference between us and arsenal

we will buy garnacho and they will buy a more grow player like eze 

thats why we will never challenge for the title with this board

What a crock of shit. 
We have literally won more trophies than them in our down period than they have in their brightest moment in 25 years. 
 

We don’t win our first game, against a team that’s beaten Liverpool and City - and this nonsense starts coming out again. 
 

Arsenal got battered around by Man United and got lucky to walk away with a win.

Don't see him playing for Chelsea 

[Pizy 18,926]

Another attacking midfielder. Just what we’re going to need after we sign Xavi, Garnacho, and have Quenda and possibly Paez coming next summer. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Strasbourg set to sign Julio Enciso from Brighton, as @David_Ornstein called. Understand the fee is €16m. Enciso viewed as a Chelsea player in the long term. 

A player signed for Brighton by now Chelsea sporting director Paul Winstanley. Sam Jewell also very familiar with the player having watching him often at Club Libertad in Paraguay.

[Pizy 18,926]

Didn’t he have a poor season where he regressed last campaign? I see to recall hearing that.

The fact that the ultimate hardball club Brighton are selling him for this cheap has to raise some questions (unless his contract is running out which I don’t know).

[cfccrost 23]

He is glass, but a very good player when fit

[whats happening 1,618]

16m is nothing. if we can make a profit off of him then its a good buy. i dont expect him to play for us.

His contract ran until 2026.

Brighton also sold Barco to Strasbourg, where he really took off.

He will be joining Chelsea next summer!

[Mário César 1,278]

and why he will join us? Who will be sold???

@Matt_Law_DT: "There's definite lone interest in Anselmino from some big overseas clubs. I'm told that Chelsea haven't quite decided what they want to do with him yet.

So he could go on loan, he could stay, I suspect he'll go on loan but let's see on that one because Chelsea are adamant that no decision has been made on him yet."

Chelsea star deletes all Blues content from Instagram after pointed Enzo Maresca dig

Chelsea star Wesley Fofana has deleted all Chelsea-related content from his Instagram after Enzo Maresca called for new signings and claimed the Frenchman couldn't do all that was required of him

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/Chelsea-fofana-instagram-enzo-maresca-35761892

Wesley Fofana has deleted every Chelsea-related post on his Instagram after Enzo Maresca made it clear that he couldn't step into a defensive role for the Blues - urging the club to sign new defenders instead.

Fofana was signed back when Thomas Tuchel was in charge, joining for a mammoth £75million from Leicester. However he's struggled to repay that fee, largely owing to a horrific injury that kept him out for nearly an entire season.

The Frenchman is one of a number of defenders on Chelsea's books and only played 14 times last term. An injury to Levi Colwill, which will rule him out for the majority of the campaign, has opened up a spot in the team's backline but Fofana is set to get snubbed with Maresca claiming he lacks the qualities to fill in.

The 24-year-old was a huge hit when he was at the Foxes, but the Blues boss believes he cannot do what is necessary to help the team with their build-up play - something he stated publicly.

In response Fofana has wiped his hands with the club, at least from a social media perspective. His Instagram now only includes images of him playing for France and Leicester with Chelsea not mentioned in his bio either.

Maresca has suggested that Tosin Abarabioyo is the only player he can rely on to take on the burden from Colwill. "The only one that can do that job well is Tosin," said the Italian.

He also claimed: “We said many times that we are able to create chances and to attack in the right way if we are able to build in the right way. Levi was a huge part of our build-up, and now he is out and we are going to try to find a different solution. We are trying to find a solution internally but the club know exactly what I think.

"We have players that unfortunately, like Wes or Benoit, they have in this moment some problems. And this is the reason why I said that the club knows exactly what I think about central defenders.”

Chelsea drew their opening Premier League game against Crystal Palace on Sunday, who held them to a goalless stalemate. Josh Acheampong and Trevoh Chalobah were the two men at the heart of the Blues' defence with Fofana an unused sub - as was new signing Jorrel Hato.
