We are looking to buy players from relegated teams. No money to do anything else. Pretty sure though that no one has a read on Chelsea's transfer plans yet. Lot of names being circulated but it could change once Xabi takes charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's sticking to a back 4 a CB is an urgent need, if he's going back 3 then wingbacks are the priority. Interesting way of thinking about it... I think about it rather differently, if we play a back 4, we need to sign 2 top CBs. If we play a back 3, we need to sign 3 top CBs. The higher the % of the XI that is a CB, the more extremely high quality CBs we need in the squad. Otherwise we're just putting out more mediocre players in an XI and taking room away from better players we have in CM and elsewhere. You can argue that by having 3 of them out there they can be mediocre and cover for each other better, but really it just means in the aggregate you are a worse, more defensive team that can't attack or defend well imo. I don't think Alonso is wed to a particular formation or is limited to a back 4 or back 3 specific setup tho like an Amorim. He will play various systems depending on opponent like Maresca did imo.

Whilst our rivals are going for the bigger names like Anderson/Wharton/Tonali etc I feel like Scott is much more easily attainable for us. Has been one of the best CM’s in the league this season and fits that deep sitting Xhaka role Alonso loved at Leverkusen. In terms of CMFs I rate first type the great ones, but ones who are very unrealistic for multiple reasons, especially as we missed out on CL, but not just limited to that, as some simply will not want to leave their club for Chels, or are simply too expensive Federico Valverde Elliot Anderson Bruno Guimarães Warren Zaïre-Emery Tijjani Reijnders Nicolò Barella Eduardo Camavinga Frenkie de Jong 2nd Type: CMFs that we probably have a shot at (bold ones I really rate): Pablo Barrios Ayyoub Bouaddi Felix Nmecha Senny Mayulu Tom Bischof Lucas Bergvall Johan Manzambi Lamine Camara João Gomes Archie Gray Alex Scott Mateus Fernandes Habib Diarra Hugo Larsson Victor Froholdt Noah Sadiki Yegor Yarmolyuk Mamadou Sangaré Jobe Bellingham Assan Ouédraogo Nathan De Cat Christos Mouzakitis Lewis Miley Kees Smit Javi Guerra Quinten Timber Breno Bidon Thiago Pitarch Patrick Zabi off the board now, will move this summer to Paris FC Christ Inao Oulaï Rodrigo Mendoza Ezechiel Banzuzi André Sport Club Corinthians Rudy Matondo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
