Chelsea Transfers

Sounds to me like someone on the Chelsea side got a bit overexcited and briefed a bunch of people a little too early when nothing is completely done yet. And that clearly pissed Brighton off, hence the statement.

Hopefully they aren’t pissed off enough to scupper this.

Contrary to inaccurate reports from numerous media outlets this evening, no agreement has been reached with any club to sell Marc Cucurella.

Really ? - just said on SSN and BBC done deal 50m

Appears the Cucurella side of things is more or less sewn up and done. It’s the Colwill part that isn’t. Hope that’s just a matter of structure and clauses and not Colwill having cold feet about Brighton and thinking he’s “better” than their level.

imo he will be playing as LCB in Tuchel system. And in meantime he will be backup if Chilly will have anothey injury. Additionally we can free up Emerson and Alonso. And meantime we are selling Colwill for ~25m with clause 45mln to Brighton. Imo this deal is good in current situation. 
K2 can be moved to central or right spot in 3 man defence.

he is 1.72m!

that's only an inch and a half taller than KANTE

we will get ROASTED ALIVE with him playing CB

and even height aside, that does NOT address the insane price

when you toss in the £20m more it would cost us to buy back Colwill

we are dropping 87m euros (£72.5m) on this deal!

NOT HAPPY

AT ALL

 

it is madness

Well Azpi is 1,78. 6cm but okey maybe he is small guy but he will have bigger partners like K2, Chalobah, Silva, (Fofana).
And about Colwill, 20mln but you will get a defender who played 2 or more years on PL level. It is small price for this kind of experience. Simple loan would not efficient as not all clubs thread loanes as full contract players and dont give them chances. And in case if he will not develop we just sold him for fair price after one year on champioship level. Win-win situation.

Doubt 52m would be enough to get Theo. Also did he not repeatedly state he wants to stay in Milan.

Phonsie is obviously a pipe dream. I am not really sure on mendy, esp if CA is playing Rüdiger in his position.

Jose Gaya is absolute pants. zero idea why that dud is always ranked among the best LBs. Bang average player.

But you are right. I think we could have got a ton of LBs for half the price. Cucurella is good but is he really twice as good as Borna Sosa, Raum or Zinchenko?

One more thing i read about the little chap is that he wants to return to Barca one day. Tha's probably why we gave him a 6y contract. They can have him when he is 30.

I was just listing the top 7 LB's on the planet in terms of valuation + talent

I have said it would likely take around 70-80m euros to pull Theo

that is £58.5m to £66.5m

split down the middle and its €75m, £62.5m

Theo is CERTAINLY worth the extra £10m

Cucurella looks better. Better in a better league. 

 

Looks tidier on the ball and a better passer.
