Chelsea Transfers

[Thor 2,167]

Pace and dynamism is what we need. Traore should have been picked up - as on a better team he would have thrived like he is at Barca. He doesn't need to be perfect. He just needs to have moments. 

I'd be all for Dembele. Technical and fast. Play Kai in the middle with the options of Dembele, Wener, Puli and CHO all there. That is ideal. Dembele on a free would be no risk. 

We need a big, technical midfielder as well. That and a fullback who is okay on both sides. Mainly left. Reece James, for as fickle as our fans are week to week is a locked on starter for me.

Demebele and Diaby both and I am more than happy with winger biz for the summer

I just hope we can but anyone at this point, the Roman shit is likely to only get worse I fear  😿

Forget buying anyone new.

Is anyone concerned about how all these events are going to affect contract negotiations for our current crop?

No point in speculating I guess.  Just a rabbit hole of misery at this point

Be surprised if we match those terms.

Makes sense to let him go but if we replace Cesar with a quality RB this summer, it will deter us from looking at Livramento and his 38m release clause that is active from 2023.

Think we will use James and Kounde as an alternative.

Sounds like this will happen but RWB is a very specialised role now. I would want 2 quality options in the squad to avoid something like the LWB situation this year

No guarantee if Livramento is even willing to go back here and compete with James.

[MoroccanBlue 5,218]

I am 100% convinced players get Raiola as an agent so they can inevitably secure moves to PSG, Juventus, or Barcelona/Real Madrid.

he will not be willing

He did say back in October he'd potentially like to return. All depends on what the club/Tuchel promise him. Maybe they told him he'd be behind Azpilicueta too?

Still think it will happen.

Reece at CB is an utter waste IMHO

RB is literally the weakest position atm globally for recruiting

there are only 5 truly WC RB's and 2 of those are on Citeh, with Cancelo playing at LB for them mostly atm

  
Trent Alexander-Arnold 
Achraf Hakimi 
João Cancelo 
Reece James   
Kyle Walker

then

Juan Cuadrado BUT he turns 34 in May and was always shit on defence

then a massive drop-off 

Ridle Baku
Timothy Castagne
Matty Cash  
Jeremie Frimpong 
Tino Livramento    
Tariq Lamptey
Sergiño Dest    
James Justin  
Joakim Maehle   

then a tonne of youth prospects

 
Stephane Singo  
Pierre Kalulu   
Devyne Rensch   
Vanderson 
Matheuzinho   
Thierry Correia     
Malo Gusto    
Hugo Siquet  
Timothée Pembélé  
Guga   
Brandon Soppy       
Lutsharel Geertruida   
Ethan Laird   
Khellven 
Calegari   
Bryan Reynolds 
Sacha Boey     
Tomás Tavares 
Giulian Biancone  
Vinicius Tobias
Tomás Esteves
Djed Spence

Kounde at the sweeper role is also a very bad idea. Can only play at RCB or RWB/RB.

Man Utd’s Victor Osimhen interest wanes due to lofty £100m price tag

the evil dwarf will likely only come a tiny bit too, I would guess the absolute lowest he would take is £84m (100 million euros)

he stuck to his guns with Koulibaly

it is going to take £60m to £70m to grab him.
