Andrey Santos ain’t going anywhere. Not to a side that were directly competing with and certainly not for any piss take like €40m.

He only cost £12m, the BlueCo bean counters wont give a fuck where he goes as long as he goes for a tidy profit. 

Selling him before Lavia is a mistake though. He has shown he can be relied upon, his fitness isn’t an issue plus Rosenoir was meant to be the one to kickstart his career here no? But yes if we sell him to United, it will continue to show the downward trajectory of the club.

💥🔵AFC Bournemouth have confirmed that Marcos Senesi will leave the club as a free agent, with Chelsea reportedly interested in signing the defender.

Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior is looking for experienced, ball-playing centre-backs to fit his possession-based system, and Senesi — who has 100+ Premier League appearances — is viewed as a cost-effective option.

Cheaping out on a key position. Again.

Will they ever learn? I’m sure that was nearly the same briefing for Tosin before we got him. I’m sure the data look good though 🤨🙄

 

Oshimen deal is never happening. We had the opportunity 2 years running, at smaller fees than he would cost now. Again, wage structure or not, we wouldn’t stump up the fee for him then now that he's older, pricier… yeah not happening. Can’t wait to watch Delap shank shots into the advertising hoarding for another 8 seasons.

I have said this for months, we can forget signing top class players for huge fees, it will not happen anymore. The way they operate now is either buying cheap and sending to Strasbourg or more of the same Garnacho type fees where you just simply get middle of the road players.

No more 80/90/100M players, it's a loan to Strasbourg after a purchase of around 15M and/or already there and fetch him over.

agree more or less, but just yesterday you said:

who has a quoted (atm) price of €140m (£121m) and crazed salary demands

Also Osimhen turns 28yo late this year, so that age is pushing the 'no one over 26yo' BlueCo rule by closing in on 2 years or so

I think that Osimehen has around 5, maybe even 6 prime years left, barring injuries, but BlueCo are going to see a huge fee (let's say we get him for £103.5m, ie €120m) at that age as mostly sunk cost.

EXCL: Chelsea looking in to ambitious move to sign Arsenal star

It's not impossible

https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/excl-Chelsea-looking-in-to-ambitious

 

Chelsea are weighing up a potential move to sign an Arsenal player in the summer transfer window, and it’s not as impossible as you might expect it to be.

The club are looking into transfer plans now ahead of what is expected to be another busy summer transfer window for many clubs including Chelsea, who are looking to both buy and sell once again at the end of this season.

We’ve had some surprising info from our top source this week who says that Chelsea are looking in to an ambitious move to sign Riccardo Calafiori from Arsenal, sensing a potential opportunity to do so.

Chelsea have been big admirers of Calafiori for some time and were watching him closely at the 2024 Euros. You will remember strong links to Chelsea around that time and as we also reported on the site, he was a Blues transfer target.

However, he ended up going to Arsenal instead, and has been there since.

Our sources have heard that Calafiori is a situation that Chelsea are keeping an eye on because he’s not playing as much as he wants to be and also, he would rather play as a centre back than a left back. So there is a chance that Chelsea might see an opportunity to offer him a role as a centre back.

The 23-year-old will have three years left on his Arsenal contract come the summer.

Nothing advanced of course and just a situation that Chelsea are keeping an eye on. But an interesting one all the same.

I'm hoping we can sell mass amounts of deadwood that would facilitate his transfer, after all it's mental how much money and wages we are sat on in regards to shit players

I hope you are right but I just do not see the yank hedge fund billionaires dropping that type of cash (fee + salary) on a 27/28 yo not named Pessi (at that age), CR7 (at that age), or Mbappe, or Håland)

there are only 4 and 'a quarter' actual (NOT potential, I mean world class NOW, proven) world class CFs actually even remotely available and would maybe, maybe come here

(Kane would never come here even IF Bayern sell him, same for Håland IF Citeh sold him, or Ousmane Dembélé IF PSG sell him, and who, BTW, turns 30yo at the end of next season, plus Hugo Ekitiké is NOT for sale,and by listing him, plus the fact we already have João Pedro, means EVERY single world class (IMHO) CF on the planet atm is listed in this post of mine)

the 4 and a quarter:

Osimhen (turns 28yo in December 2026)

Lautaro  the only one, (other than, of course, Lewa, see below), that may not cost over 100m quid, and that is because he soon is 29yo, in August 2026)

Julián Alvarez (turns 27 in January 2027) insanely expensive, and has regressed a bit this year (I do still rate him, but not for the price Atleti want, ie 200m euros, the most I would pay for Alvarez is around £110 to £115m or so)
  
Alexander Isak (turns 27yo in September 2026, and would be a staggeringly large gamble IF Pool even sell him, as he will still cost over 100 million pounds and is a glassman atm)

and finally, the 'quarter':  Lewandowski ('quarter' because he is 38yo in August 2026, so maybe, MAYBE has 2 or 3 remotely feasible (EPL-wise) years left)

TBH, why the fuck would he come here to this clown car ??? LOLOLOL

 

that is IT for proven world class CFs out there (unless you get into ancient CR7 and Benz, who both even older than Lewa)

 

no,  Matheus Cunha (who is not for sale anyway) is not a world class CF

number 1 he is better as a SS in a front 2 and also often plays at LW, he has only played 11 games all season as a CF

number 2 he only has only scored 6 total goals in 2100 minutes, and that is for an on-fire Manure, and only 2 of his goals have come as a CF

 

neither are (the rest of the top 40 most valued CFs)    
 

Benjamin Sesko  (still only 22yo, and deffo can get there IMHO, I would take him in a heartbeat for a fair price, but zero chance Manure sell him now IMHO)
Omar Marmoush 
Nick Woltemade
Viktor Gyökeres 
Marcus Thuram
Samu Aghehowa  (massive injury atm)  
Igor Thiago 
Ferran Torres 
Kai Havertz 
Nicolas Jackson  
Rasmus Højlund 
Jørgen Strand Larsen 
Moise Kean 
Rayan    (massive potential)
Junior Kroupi   (massive potential)
Mateo Retegui   
Loïs Openda  
Serhou Guirassy  
Vitor Roque
Pio Esposito (massive potential)
Ange-Yoan Bonny (massive potential)
Santiago Castro
Evanilson 
Gonçalo Ramos 
Darwin Núñez 
Jonathan David 
Jean-Philippe Mateta 
Dušan Vlahović  
Jonathan Burkardt

Three SPTC insiders mention Chelsea transfer target this week, something is definitely happening

We have some very strong info on a Blues transfer target

https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/sources-three-sptc-insiders-mention

 

We have had THREE of our SPTC sources mention the name of a Chelsea transfer target for the summer just this week in three separate bits of info given to us.

And when that happens, which is very rare, it means that something is definitely happening there.

This will be one worth noting and keeping a very close eye on as we head towards the summer transfer window, it has a feel of inevitability about it.

So, our info from THREE different insiders this week, is that Chelsea’s interest in Morgan Rogers is very serious, and the fact that these three sources have mentioned it, means it more than has substance and likely something might be moving on it already.

We will have to see exactly what is moving, if anything, but the fact we are hearing Rogers name mentioned by these three particular sources is quite significant.

Rogers signed a new deal with Aston Villa recently, but our sources believe it contains some sort of release clause that is not impossible to trigger nor will it be that expensive to trigger. Again, we don’t have the details on that so we don’t know exactly about any clause, or even if there is 100% one in there. But the belief is that there is something there that makes Rogers attainable, which could link to this info we’ve heard.

Not trying to hype anyone up with this [if you’re a Rogers fan] and I’m NOT saying we are definitely signing Rogers. He has many other clubs keen as well, including Liverpool as serious suitors. But it’s one of those rumours and links that just has a sense of inevitability about it.

I guess our transfer targets though, will depend on whether we get Champions League football come the end of the season. So no point in getting too far ahead of ourselves with any links just yet.

More Disasi noise

West Ham will consider signing Axel Disasi on a permanent transfer if they avoid relegation from the PL this season. However, that is only if he is available for a price well below the £38.6m Chelsea paid.
