Chelsea Transfers

If we get sterling and Raphinha how good is it going to be watch our wide players run at defences. Both these two players love to just charge to the goal.

I like the Raphihna pick up. Despite his build, he seems to have a bit of bulldog in him, which I like. Same with Sterling if we get him. Dude isn't just gonna give up or get pushed around. 

I've actually been impressed by this from Kai as well. Think it is important to have grit in your front 3 as much as skill and pace. 

Agreed. It's not been lost on me the profile of player Tuchel is looking at here to improve his attack - Premier league proven, mid-20's (so should arguably be at or near the peak of their powers rather than potential), and both players have been playing in teams that press the ball aggressively and play at a quick tempo.

I agree on Havertz, he's significantly improved this aspect of his game compared to when he first joined the club and the difference between him and Lukaku up top was night and day. Add Mount to the mix who's always been excellent in that department too and we look like having the foundations of a good group of attackers to counter press the ball out of possession.

Ever been sold on KK and I am even less so now, always been a reason he has stayed at Napoli imo.

Raphinah and Sterling on the wings with Kai in the false 9 position. 

Jeeeez 🔥

Finally we will be exciting to watch.

It has been beyond painful watching Chelsea attacking In the past few seasons.

I’d low key take Ake but as cdm not CB , would have been nice to see him with Christensen but oh well 

[Clockwork 1,794]

Most serie A fans i know don’t rate De ligt especially for the price Juve is asking.

the pace for that second goal Raphinha scored was devastating if our attackers could think that quickly our counter will be scary.

£200m aint gonna get the supposed 6 new signings we need..i’d say closer to 300m which maybe with sales aslong as we arent dealing so much with italian clubs we may be able to bring in the extra 100m.

Who knows how accurate the reporting is but it was reported that the spending ceiling would be £200m gross, not net. That's to say £200m including funds from any outgoing deals.

Possibly true, possibly false, possibly an attempt to damp down sellers' expectations when negotiating, and possibly none of the above.

Chelsea are close to agreeing a £55m deal with Leeds United to buy 25-year-old Brazil forward Raphinha, who is also attracting interest from Arsenal and Barcelona. (Guardian)

AND

Chelsea have turned their attention to 27-year-old Inter Milan and Slovakia defender Milan Skriniar, who is also a target for Paris St-Germain, after deeming the £102m release clause of Juventus and Netherlands centre-back Matthijs de Ligt, 22, as too expensive. (Mail)

These two won't upset me😀

I mean Raphinha and Skriniar of course😜

Choice for Skriniar.

Play under Tuchel? Or play under Mbappe?

Sergej Savic and his agent are traveling to London today to meet with Chelsea. This tweet thread has some good information about him.

Honestly i don't see the point signing SMS, unless we are going to sell Gallagher.

We’d get 10+ years of quality with de Ligt. 
 

How much for Koulibaly? 3 if we are lucky?

Word is De Ligt is available for 40-50m euros next summer.

Not done yet. There's a reason journos haven't called Raphinha transfer despite agreeing fee with Leeds - He is wary of playing wingback at Chelsea. Things should be clearer today.

No chance, just look Skriniar he has 1 year left but Inter still demanding €60m - €70m for him.

Yep. I remember few years ago when we agreed a deal to sign Chamberlain but he rejected us and went Liverpool and he did not want to play wing back.

True. Still half of his current release clause and Juve should be thinking this is the only chance to cash in on him.
