🚨 Any new signing must be carefully balanced to avoid blocking the pathways of highly regarded, young centre‑backs such as Acheampong, Strasbourg loanee Mamadou Sarr and Dortmund loanee Aaron Anselmino.

This, I sort of get. The younglings deserve a trial.

But if they were worried about blocking pathways to Badiashile and Fofana, screw that.

Then bring one back? We need a CB now! This shit is getting boring.

The dortmund director confirmed that we have a recall clause for Anselmino in January...

Brilliant. So nobody half decent over the age of 25 is coming in. Incase Achrampong, Sarr or Anselmino turn out to be the next Maldini. And will be the same for a good CF in the summer no doubt, incase they block Delaps pathway in the hope he can do something else at a high level other than pick up silly bookings. Or a good left back incase we block Hato’s pathway in the event he ever plays more than 1 game a month. Or a good winger incase we block Garnacho/Gittens pathway for when they become the truly elite wingers they’ll never ever be…. Etc etc. Hilarious.

💥Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and Levi Colwill all understood to be seeking discussions over improved contracts. Chelsea, however, want to delay any renewal talks until the summer.

(@NizaarKinsella)

Caicedo is the only one who warrants one really.

And aren’t all 3 of them on like 8 year contracts anyway? Can delay them for another 2-3 seasons 😂

This will be interesting now though in the summer. Particularly Fernandez given the recent links - will the club maybe cash in on him as opposed to renew? Strong position given he has about a life sentence left on his contract. Plus he’s not exactly ripped it up.

I can smell a last minute deadline day walk away from this JJ deal and us panic buying some unknown 19 year old from Germany or somewhere

Does feel a bit reminiscent of what we did with Xavi Simons. Agree personal terms, the player has said he wants to come to Chelsea, but now we’re dicking around with the other club on price and end up turning elsewhere.

In this case though I doubt we buy another Buonanotte type random no-name but will instead just use Disasi. Which would of course be madness.

🚨🔵 Chelsea agree deal to sign talented 17 year old fullback Yisa Alao from Sheffield Wednesday, here we go!

 

Initial fee over £500k plus heavy add-ons.

 

Chelsea beat 3 more PL top clubs to the signing.

He will go missing like Maddy McCann

We are considering a move for Douglas Luiz as per Ornstein

I legitimately laughed out loud when I just checked Twitter and saw the tweet. 

Tbf, if we would’ve signed Douglas Luiz on loan before this season started I’d have said it’s a decent stopgap option. He was solid at Villa. But hasn’t he been completely irrelevant for Forest since joining? In a team that’s not exactly flying this season?

What an odd move this would be now.

Find it hard to believe Colwill is demanding a new contract while out with a serious long term injury. Surely that is not a thing.

Desperate for a CB and we are taking someone on loan who plays CM

Wow

[Mário César 1,408]

so why we brought essugo?????

Wow

Only explanation is that Lavia had his one millionth setback and won’t play again this season. Rosenoir just said a week or so ago that Lavia was back training individually which was positive but I’m guessing that he re-injured himself.

Another body in CM makes sense I suppose or else we’ll run Caicedo into the ground. And there’s no chance guys like Wharton or Elliot Anderson can be bought this month.

Another ex City player….

Forgot about that, ffs. Couldn’t make it up.

Also kind of forgot that after that whole huge saga with trying to get his big move to Juve a couple of years ago he went on to completely flop there.

The more I think about this the more I hate it. With Essugo now back we have 4 fit midfielders plus Reece and Gusto who we have used in there frequently. So what’s the point of this?

[whats happening 1,649]

i see him as a cover, 4-5 option in the middle. if he plays a lot then it means our starters are injured so we are fucked anyways.

[Special Juan 28,512]

Just another absolute nothing loan and won't bring anything apart from being another number.

Small cameo roles, the odd cup start and back away at the end of the season.
