Chelsea Transfers

[Pizy 18,486]

I think the only two clubs in the world that could sign Neymar are City and United. And City aren’t foolish enough to it. With their marketing obsession and lust for “social media interactions” I can picture United doing it. They’re probably the only ones who would be willing to pay him mega wages.

So unless Neymar were to tell potential suitors that he’ll take a dramatic wage reduction he’s kinda stuck. But what kind of fool would want to leave nearly a million a week and cushy PSG?

[King Kante 1,519]

Who was that Hungarian kid that was being spoken about a while ago? Is he a an absolute non-starter or a cheap option that could come in if De Ligt is brought and still be decent?

Read tha that Tagliafico is reportedly available for €4m. If people had to decide on him or Emerson coming back who would they pick? When we were linked I saw a bit of him and wasn't convinced of him as a LWB1 however as a cheap LWB2 he may be a shout. Anyone seen much of him recently? I haven't seen him play for 18+ months now.

Attila Szalai. 

No idea why we lost interest (could be former regime) as I've seen him a few times when we've been linked, this latest against England, and he is a rock. 

He and de Ligt would be wonderful.

Has been regressed a lot, benched by Daley Blind.

Declan Rice is the midfield version of Lukaku, what a waste of money that would be.

The best and most complete squad in the league will have made  3 signings before we make any. And we’re the ones trying to catch up to them!

How can you compare someone who's duty it is to defend, with someone who's duty it is to attack? That's like comparing Kante to Messi. They are difficult to compare because one makes interceptions and one gets goals.

The main reason Lukaku was such a flop was the price tag. I can see Rice being underwhelming if he comes for 100m. However, he will completely change the dynamic of the team allowing us to move away from a back 3. We haven't been able to play 433 for a decade (refer to Sarris season where he played Jorgi at DM and Alonso Azpi as wingbacks.

Tuchel is more flexible and chooses his tactics based on the needs of the team rather than a specific talisman (e.g. Jorgi or Lukaku). If he gets the players for 433 I think he will make the switch. We have solved our WB problem, we just need a DM and Rice is the only one remotely available. He is friends with the academy graduates so wouldn't take too long to settle in and wouldn't even need to move from London. We just need to factor in the English tax which brings his value to around 70-80m which is what is being quoted in rumours.

[Hashishi 148]

My optimistic take for this transfer window.

In Raphinha, Rice, De Ligt + 1 CB, Clauss + LB cover

This is completely doable with 200m

GK Mendy (Slonina)

RB James(Clauss)

CB Silva(chalobah)

CB De Ligt (Colwill)

LB Chilwell(backup)

DM Rice (Jorgi)

CM Mount(Kante)

CM Kovacic(Gallagher)

LW Pulisic (Werner)

RW Raphinha (CHO)

ST Havertz (Broja)

Squad players: Azpi, RLC + whoever we can't get rid of( Batman, Kenedy, Barkley) otherwise use an academy product.

That is a good squad and the depth is great. We would definitely challenge Spurs for 3rd place as their depth is not as good as ours. They almost beat us to 3rd because they had no europe most of the season. I expect them to improve under Conte but the strain of CL will show eventually. Kane and Son can't play 60 games a season.

Chances of us going to a 4 back is highly unlikely. He may not have had full controls of transfer before but did have full control of the team.

Says who? You? The only reason we don't play 433 like the big teams is that we don't have a proper DM.

He chose 343 because it best suited the players we had. If he brings in players for a 433 he at least has the option. He tried to implement this multiple times over the season but Sarr is a terrible LB and we don't have a DM.

You need to start watching football t rather then commenting on it without seeing a thing
