Chelsea Transfers

[Special Juan 28,523]

There is going to be a bit more shite spoken as the window draws to a close

The funny thing about all this is, Fab and Ornstein with our board are being led a merry dance and the club that basically goes into reverse after they have sent out one of their so called 'power tweets'

I'm starting to think the club are taking the piss

What a shock!! Not!

How you guys get motivated to even read these tweets is pretty admirable tbh. 
 

Gave up following Fab and Ornstein a few windows back..

You can fool me once but you won’t fool me again.

 

I’ve seen this movie a hundred times now. This ownership and their PR is pathetic at this point. 

I miss when we got a transfer move completed and the shirt held up and it's a shocker. The likes of Fab content farming with 100 posts about every transfer has killed the interest + these guys will just publish whatever briefs clubs give them. Hardly any braincells used in the tweets

In regards to this Jaquet Potato fella, if it is right that Liverpool and Bayern want him we have got absolutely no chance if this is the case unless the players begs to come here. We will be blown out of the water on fee (even for the so called 55M) a small amount in this day and a fee we would never cough at before, but things have changed and also we will be blown out by the wages, Liverpool and Bayern will leave us way behind.

We have to come to some sort of realism here, we are no longer big players in the market, the Enzo and Caicedo days are long gone, it's now about Garnacho type players and Garnacho like transfer fees

The board'll try to do a deal now for him to join in the summer. That's the only way I see us beating out the competition for his signing

I wonder if in some funny way Rosenoir gives us an advantage with Jacques choosing us since he will know him well from managing in France. He can explain to the lad how he has studied him closely and has a specific big role in mind for him.

That plus having other French players in our squad might swing it. If it all comes down to wages then obviously we’ll be blown out of the water.

Tbh, I’m not that bothered either way. I feel like there will be plenty of CB options in the summer including those already on our books.

🔵Chelsea's preference is to sell Sterling, although terminating his contract or arranging a loan move have not been ruled out. Any contract cancellation would likely start with Chelsea being asked to pay the full £22m remaining on his deal.

Raheem Sterling has left the club after his contract was mutually terminated

💰💵💵💵🤑

[Pizy 19,132]

Makes you wonder why we didn’t do this months ago. Guess we’ve been trying desperately behind the scenes to find an interested club to buy him and there were zero takers so this was the last resort.

[Mhsc 1,125]

I guess for Raheem the sign on fee of wherever he is going next is good enough to make agreeing to terminate worth while.

Curious how it will work in PSR. On paper its a big loss to suddenly materialise, losing a player for £0. Although I know you can file with them for special circumstances to write down player values, not sure what it would be here ("he suddenly got shit" isn't really an excuse is it?)

[nyikolajevics 2,793]

I read many shit thrown on Sterling, but he was perfectly right in this story. Who would not expect their employer to keep the terms of the contract they mutually agreed just because they changed their mind? 

Considering what kind of player he was, his injuries and the fact he was PL-regular since the age of 17, writing was all over the wall that it's a shity idea to give him a 5 year lucrative contract. We got what we deserved. We were lucky Koulibaly agreed to go to Saudis, he would also still be on our books. 

Horrible player management once again.. And actually, instead of transfers like Sancho, we could have just kept him around.

He didn't have his prime here but I remember he was always pushing hard and never lazy, even 2022/23 was like the biggest shitshown around here(Potter, Lampard, Abramovich gone, whole squad being replaced after winning CL, etc.).

I'm pretty sure we payed out his whole remaining salary until 2027 in order to terminate.

Meeting on Friday to decide what to do with Anselmino, busy few days for Chelsea ahead....

Heard that before, it will be all out goings

[Pizy 19,132]

Why the fuck would we interrupt a great loan for Anselmino where he was comfortable and highly thought of by that club if we haven’t even definitively decided that he’s staying? Sounds like this was completely done by the directors with no real say from Rosenoir and he said yesterday that he hadn’t even spoken with the player yet.

Simply put we don't give a fuck how they are progressing, said it yesterday, it's just a joke if he isn't going to start, and I say start because you don not pull him away from there and bench him, it's criminal. Probably done as a make weight or softening tool in the JJ deal, but even then makes no sense as all the talk for JJ is for the summer and not now.

Meanwhile, Paez going to River Plate on loan.. 

Apparently he was caught clubbing, drinking, vaping multiple occasions.

Was hoping we find him a nice Champo loan, sending back to South America feels kind of giving up on him.

That doesn't make any sense though. Why would we? Letting his contract expire and have him work until then is far better in PSR and financially in real terms the same. You think cause it was a lovely Christmas gift from the club because of his excellent service?

I don't know wheter it makes any difference in PSR and if it does it's significant difference or not. 

I think the clubs strategy was playing hard ball on him by letting him train alone, we were expecting he will get bored and accept a move to another team and take the wage cut as no English team was ever going to pay him even 30% of his current salary.

Perhaps the club finally accepted he will not agree to move anywhere and wanted to put end to this story, not let it circulate for 18 more months. (bad publicity, pressure from Fifpro etc)

I am sure he didn't accept one penny less than he was entitled in his contract.
