Chelsea Transfers

Tuchel wanted Saul over Tchouameni, so why are we focusing on a loan with option instead of obligation to buy. If Tuchel wants a player the board should back him.

With the Kounde situation, I understand because it's basically Sevilla who went back on an agreement, and from Marinas perspective I understand her stance on the deal. 

The fact that we backed out of the Saul deal just baffles me to be honest.

I can't be the only one who is more worried about the possibility of us ending up without a new CM than the defense situation. At this point I'm not all that invested in the Kounde deal, but a new CM is a must.

Monchi just said if the buy out is met he goes, if not he stays.

Monchi: “If someone pays the release clause in Koundé's contract, he will leave.”

[Pizy 18,368]

RLC made zero impact at Palace and zero impact at Fulham. But apparently he’s good enough for us? Chance after chance he’s had to show he’s Chelsea quality, here and elsewhere, and he has failed to show he is.

Should've just kept Billy or even Gallagher around.

Full quotes on Kounde:

"Kounde can leave before 12 o'clock at night if someone pays the clause, there we can't do anything. He has the same possibilities of leaving as the rest of his teammates."

"Chelsea's only offer for Kounde was last Wednesday for an amount we didn't like."

"We responded with a counteroffer from us that had an expiration date to which they haven't responded."

"The decision that Kounde didn't travel to Elche has been made by all parties. Jules is a magnificent professional, a young boy, but he is not a superhero."

"Everyone defends their interests. Both the club and I have respected the player and Chelsea. We have responded politely and nimbly in the times we were in."

So Sevilla gave us both a deadline and a price and we’ve bid after said deadline and tried to lowball them on the price.

LMAO 😂

Zouma’s week + transfer bullshit may have cost Tuchel his top defensive target.

A season of minutes would do good for Billy

One thing that explains this is Tuchel wants Declan Rice in a year

He can go and literally fuck himself😂. If we pay his release clause then that sends a bad message to the future clubs we'll do business with. 

We just need to focus on other targets, Tchouameni and Kamara/Tapsoba/Lacroix for example.

Tuchel said that he wants a midfielder this summer. Look at this video.

He's being let down by the board.

Today the sports director of Sevilla Monchi just spoke. I tell you what he has told about the Kounde case:

1. Throughout the summer many offers came to the club to sign Kounde. Most of them (like that of Tottenham) rejected by the player himself who wanted to play in a Champions team.

2. At the beginning of August the player's representative told Monchi that he had an offer from Chelsea and that he would contact the club to send an offer.

3. On August 15, Chelsea had not yet sent an official offer to Sevilla F.C. to sign the player and Monchi spoke with the agent to tell him that if he did not arrive before the 20th they would not be able to attend to her because he would not have time to react and sign other players.

4. Chelsea's first and only offer arrived on Wednesday, August 25 at 6pm for a value of 50M € provided they managed to sell Zouma earlier.

5. Although it was already the 25th, Sevilla rejected the offer and sent a counter offer to Chelsea (about 65M €). I remind you that the resignation clause is 80M €.

6. Since that day Chelsea has not contacted Sevilla again. Not to reject that counter offer or for anything at all.

These are the actual steps events that occurred with Kounde. You have been deceived from minute one. I understand that you may think that paying 65M  € is not worth it for Kounde. That is the law of supply and demand. Chelsea offered 50M € and Sevilla wanted 65M €.

I wish you the best for this year.

Greetings

The only reason I would say it’s not a disaster is because only United dramatically improved around us. It looks as though City and Liverpool may also only sign 1 player each just like us. If everyone else went crazy whilst we signed only Lukaku I’d be worried.

It’s still very, very strange how a club like us that’s been so smart operating in the transfer market have been left scrambling for deals in the final hours when we’ve known for months what the manager’s ideas are.

Might just pull off another David Luiz. Time will tell i guess

He never said a new MF or promote within the ranks so its not a clear message of what he wants imo
