Pizy 18,985 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I really don’t think Tchouameni looks all that impressive even in his “best bits” youtube highlights. Just looks like a solid, above average DM. The sort of player clubs like Everton, West Ham or Spuds would take a punt on and see if he develops further. Doesn’t really look to me like Chelsea first XI material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blues Forever 1,232 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Kamara should be the ideal alternative to Rice. Tchouameni is more like Kante's replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,369 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Tch is definitely not coming here to be a starter in first 2 seasons. But we also need to think long term. I expect us to go for Bellingham in summer 2023. We will see how Gilmour and Gallagher develop... Kante and Jorginho should be gone in 2 years. Kova also 29 in 2 years, could be sold.

Pizy 18,985 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I just feel like if we’re going to sign any midfielder it should be with an eye on instantly improving our first XI. Hence why the link to Rice makes sense. If we just want depth and someone with future potential to cover for Kante and Jorginho we may as well have kept Billy or keep Gallagher around.

They also share the same agent, so if the club are interested in Tchouameni talks could already be ongoing between the club and the player's entourage. After Gallagher's loan deal it's obvious the club need to dip into the market for a 4th midfielder and I wouldnt' say no to Tchouameni. I've made it clear Rice is my top option but like I wrote here a few days ago he's not the one I think the club should be after this summer. Rice would expect to be an immediate starter and would maybe disrupt Jorginho-Kante-Kovacic who have all played really well under Tuchel, but maybe Tchouameni wouldn't be too high profile to play a smaller role at first and then see how he gets on once he's fully settled. If Rice is serious about playing for Chelsea and wouldn't push for a move to Man Utd or wherever, he can then be bought in another 1-2 years when his price keeps going down (contract running shorter) and Jorginho-Kante are both getting older.

Well that's completely false. Tchouameni is the most traditional defensive midfielder on the planet. He sits and covers whilst Fofana is the ball carrier to the attack.

NikkiCFC 8,369 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Zouma and 30-35m is not that far away. That is already enough. We will probably add some bonuses... Gil was 25m plus Lamela plus 10m in bonuses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true, Tchouameni is more like B2B than traditional DM like Rice and Kamara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
