Chelsea Transfers

[Gundalf 804]

100m for a player from Dutch farmers league would be insane.

 

Auba scored against City btw.

Even if Antony does not flop he needs to score 15+ goals in his first season not to be labelled a flop for that money

apparently manure are in for Tammy as well now that Roma signed belotti

alternatives for them are morata and osimhen (!)

Sometimes I feel like world's economy turned to monopoly money when I wasn't looking.

100 million was an uncrossable line a while ago, now players who I need to google are worth 80+ and I'm having a hard time believing that the matchday income and TV rights are balancing it, when most of people's buying power only goes down.

You are very wrong about Boehly and football. You can look up his history with the Sparks and he wanted to buy Chelsea in 2019.

Yeah, I'm sure american billionaires buy famous sports "franchise" because they are super interested in sports. 🤡

You can keep clowning with your old American cliche, or get of your ass and look up his involvement so you don’t look foolish.

Whether I think it’s a smart signing or not, I hope Auba is in tomorrow or Friday so that he can start at the weekend. We can’t afford another shocker of a performance where we can’t score a goal from open play.

[ZAPHOD2319 4,465]

I swear if I see Auba on the wing and Sterling in the center, I will fucking snap!

Ajax are expecting a €90m bid to be officially submitted on Thursday and the final transfer fee could end up at €95m without add-ons. 

[Blues Forever 1,232]

Chelsea has told Ajax that they only want to sell Hakim Ziyech. They are currently asking for too much money and should nothing change, Ajax would have to look to other players.

To go back the Henrique’s post that lacks any knowledge of Chelsea’s owner, Todd Boehly. Boehly bought the LA Sparks which is a terrible investment in of itself, but he knew that a LA based WNBA team had secondary value in media rights to the LA area, and he has done very well with his eight year ownership. Yes, this billionaire is a sports fanatic, he wants in on any iconic sports team he can, and will find a way to make it profitable while spending outrageous money to make the team stay at the top.

As to Henrique’s quip that the American owner has probably never watch a “soccer” game before Chelsea…. Really such a wiff! After finishing his four year degree in Virginia Boehly attended London School of Economics and the worked in London for Citi Bank. While doing both his friends described Boehly as football obsessed. It is the major reason he attempted to buy Chelsea in 2019 and attempted to buy the Spurs. He has always wanted to own a London football team because he is an obsessed fan of football. All the Chelsea coaches and staff say the same thing he is passionate about it.

So yes Henrique, that American owner has watched a game of “soccer”.

Why is Chalobah being loaned out? Even if we get Fofana, that leaves us with only 3 natural CBs for a 3 CB formation.
