🚨 EXCL: Chelsea plan to offer Timo Werner + cash for de Ligt. 🇩🇪🇳🇱

The Blues prepare to offer around €25-30m + Werner, but it is seen as too little for Juventus, they want more 💰.

De Ligt is keen on a move to Chelsea and Werner is a keen on a move to Juve.

Our other CB will need to be an experienced one especially if we promote Colwill into the squad (which we should).

If he's still as good as before Romagnoli on a free transfer would be a perfect solution for LCB.

I used to yearn for Romagnoli, for years, but he was went to utter poo poo for the last 2 years or so

one of the more bizarre CB collapses out there, especially as it started around 24, 25 years of age, which should be the start of a long peak time

There was an Athletic article the other day that mentioned Boehly started looking at the Lukaku deal in a baseball way with regards to seeing if Inter could do a player trade if they werent prepared to put money down on a deal.

Now we have last night reports that we've offered cash and Timo for De Ligt.

This is interesting because player swaps aren't very common, I assume partly due to how they may be treated for FFP purposes with amortisation, etc but I also read somewhere Marina wasn't a fan of them as it usually leads to devaluing a player when packaging them into a deal.

However, there's an argument if players from both sides want the moves to happen its a logical solution and it has always been a popular move in American sports. It allows us to potentially move on players we'd otherwise struggle to do (i hardly see there being a big market for Werner), whilst maximising/extending transfer budgets.

Interestingly if this works I see us thinking along similar lines of how we can sweeten a deal with West Ham for Rice. They've been linked with a few of our players over the last 12 months - Broja, Barkley, RLC, Gilmour.

Yes, basically no new midfielder unless Kante or Jorginho leaves.

Tbf she has no football knowledge and is basically just a negotiator. It's the clubs fault for not having a Director of Football

But it has now been definitely proven she was THE person in charge, the person who made the final call on basically all transactions, from all transfers, to all sales etc etc

What is it with us and constantly loaning out our flops. I was hoping with the change of ownership that would change, it's very frustrating and makes us look weak at selling. The more we do it, the more clubs are going to low ball us and ultimately offer shit loan deals.

This would be a great move. But we must confirm one of Dembele or Sterling first before letting any attackers go (Timo, Ziyech etc) after Lukaku basically being confirmed to go.

We’re just kind of unfortunate that the clubs most interested in taking our unwanted players are Italian ones. They’re all cheap as hell and always want loans.
