Chelsea Transfers

[mkh 691]

🔴AC Milan are pushing for Axel Disasi. West Ham was in advanced talks to take him on loan but the parties did not reach signatures.

(@MatteMoretto)

🟠Benfica have been looking to get a deal in place for George. They are very keen to take the player.

The agent is working to make that happen. The problem is the cost. Benfica is proposing a loan with an option to buy. Chelsea would like a guaranteed fee on that deal.

If Sarr comes back then the JJ deal will be bought now for the summer

It's Anselimino I feel sorry for

[mkh 691]

🚨 👀 Be very careful guys on Jacquet, the race is still underway, I think this is gonna be big, it’s a bit underrated in the media this story. Chelsea still there, Liverpool still there, Bayern looking unlikely. Liverpool would be open to buying him now for the summer, while Chelsea keep insisting with the player’s agents.

He ain't coming now as the talks with bringing Sarr back are well underway, you don't just speak about terminating a contract, you either are or aren't.

Anselimino will go somewhere else, Sarr to us and Jacket spud staying at Rennes

[Special Juan 28,530]

Everton has sent loan off for Tyrique George they now lead the race

[mkh 691]

AC Milan reaches agreement for Disasi with both Chelsea and the player. Now the club 🔴⚫️ will decide whether to close the deal after internal discussions.

🙌I hope Chelsea sells Disasi and Datro Fofana outright.

If they bring M. Sarr back, there would still be three international loan spots available.

Anselmino and Josh to Strassbourg would be a great thing.

George is transferring within the Premier League on loan.

Would be pretty funny if after all the “he ONLY wants Chelsea” or “Rennes close the door completely in January” stuff he ends up at Liverpool this weekend. 

Would explain why we’re trying to recall Sarr.

[Special Juan 28,530]

Liverpool are always in the market and don't fuck about unlike us.

Anselmino is perfect to replace Badiashile or Fofana

Not Badi. Badi is our only healthy left footed true CB.

Anselmino is a right-footer.

Anselmino does not want to go to Strasbourg.

IF we do not buy Jacquet now, and IF we do recall Mamadou Sarr (a righty) from Strasbourg, then I would support a 6 month loan for Josh (another righty) to Strabourg. He is real quality (like Sarr) and will get a tonne if minutes there, likely as a starting CB.

So is Sarr a ball playing CB who can pass comfortably between the lines or is he more of a no-nonsense, “classic” CB? I haven’t watched enough of him to know.

His longer-range passing looked great at AFCON and from some of the Strasbourg games I watched.

I was pleasantly surprised how easily he slotted into the Senegalese starting line-up and thrived under massive pressure.

IF we do get Jacquet as well (summer time probably) and IF Sarr and Jacquet both take to the EPL, then given both their massive potential talents, their size (1.90m for Jacquet, 1.94m for Sarr), and their pace, we just might have two great younf CBs on our hands, plus we also have Josh.

If we can just get an actual quality lefty CB to replace Badi (IF we are doing the youth thing, then I would go for Honest Ahanor or Karim Coulibaly), and if (I so so hope so) Colwill fully recovers, we could have 5 superb, big, fast CBs in a year or two from now.

These are the top valued left-footed CBs on the planet atm who have not yet turned 23yo:

 

These are the top valued right-footed (obviously the number of great right-footers is much higher than great left-footers) CBs on the planet who are 20yo right now (not 19yo or under and not 21yo and older, these are all 20yo now):

 

 

And finally, speaking of rare, this is the ONLY ambipedal (and even a more valuable trait for us, he also prefers to play at LCB) CB on the planet of any age who is valued at £20m or more (it was such a double gut-punch when we lost him to Real Madrid (one of only 2 teams we simply cannot out-pull in almsot every case when they demand a player, Barca being the other of course, but they are fucked financially still) AND then Colwill destroyed his knee. I went BONKERS when both happened as I knew it meant big CB troubles ahead this season):

 

Of those 12 CBs listed in the 3 snapshots above, we either currently own, did own at one time, are heavily linked, or were heavily linked to almost all of them.

They laid their cards on the table but Place fucked them off, more than we did

In August yes, I agree but in January, they should have done business before City went in. VVD will be 35 come end of season. Konate still not signed contract. I If they can give big salaries for ageing players, they should have paid Guehi his demands, considering he is the future and present and is arguably best CB in league.

Reading anselmino may go back to Dortmund.... Hahahahahahahaha

He is a great CB, but right now, I would not say he is the best CB in the EPL

these are all the CBs in the EPL rated £40m or above 

in bold are ones I rate over Guéhi atm (NOT blasting Guéhi at all, I rate him very highly, I think he is WC and would LOVE him here again!)

William Saliba
Gabriel Magalhães
Josko Gvardiol 
Micky van de Ven 
Rúben Dias 
Murillo 
Leny Yoro ? (not sold yet)
Marc Guéhi 
Levi Colwill (IF he fully recovers)
Jarrad Branthwaite ? (depends on his recovery from a bad injury)
Riccardo Calafiori (he plays at LB a lot)
Cristian Romero   (overrated IMHO)
Piero Hincapié  
Ibrahima Konaté  (overrated IMHO)

 

plus, RIGHT know, VVD is still WC, despite his age, he is still a massive beast and huge leader

I we are talking about this season or the next, I would still rate him over Guéhi, after that, probably no longer, simply due to age

 

and, finally a player (EPL club player out on loan) that I wanted so so badly (and fucking Spuds pipped us to him) who is soon going to be, again IMHO, a fucking beast, quite possible WC

He is only 18yo too (soon 19yo), and is so so good at Hamburg

Luka Vuskovic (only 3 CBs on the planet who are under 22yo are valued more than him atm: Pau Cubarsí, Dean Huijsen, and Leny Yoro)

I would probably (maybe, I am conflicted TBH) take him over Guéhi as he is 6 and a half years younger and has a higher ceiling

he is very likely the next Croatian CB superstar, pig, strong as bull, very decent pace, great instincts already
