Chelsea Transfers

[MoroccanBlue 5,280]

The thought of teams pressing Zakaria scares me immensely. 

It's like we are destined to have misfiring strikers and players so limited on the ball. 

[ZAPHOD2319 4,402]

We may have needed the end of the window to be like this to drive home we need a Director of Football and not Tuchel just reading off a menu of possible players.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Denis Zakaria having medical in Turin after Chelsea reached agreement with Juventus to take 25yo Switzerland int’l on loan with option to buy. Personal terms no problem. All being well with checks, midfielder joining #CFC @TheAthleticUK #Juve

I certainly hope this is the final window where we are left looking for whatever scraps remain.

[lluubbeenn 134]

I was hopeful for alvarez but Zakaria is pretty bad. If you have seen danilo pereira in psg you know what is the best we can hope for…

Zakaria - panic buy (loan transfer) 

[Strike 7,183]

Shocking deadline day to be honest. Underwhelmed by all 3 potential signings to the point I'm hoping some fax shenanigans helps us avoid them.

Giving major Saul flashbacks. Even though Zakaria is athletically better, I really worry we've signed a player unable to pass out of midfield, cannot handle being pressed.

How is it that if we sign depay, that would be the best signing of the day lol which means we won't sign him.

[Duppy Conqueror 1,494]

Overall pretty happy with what we’ve done in the window..considering the take over happened and we don’t have a DoF in place yet.

the ones we have overpaid for are good players.signed on longterm deals.

Nice injection of talented youth.

signings that could go either way are reasonably priced.

best of all we have seen that Boehly is a quality owner.

Can jorginho handle being pressed? I thought the best way to completely nullify us was to man mark jorginho and pressurise him leading to mistakes and stupid chips in the box.

[Alabama 1,992]

Lots of crybabies herein...

Boehly first season in charge....made very good signings and potentials for addition of future star signings...

[YorkshireBlue 3,118]

This zakaria reminds we alot of yaya.

[Last Sicarius 610]

Zakaria has many injuries he seems like Kova. In his 4 months in Juve has over 40 days out... very bad move

We forget he was outstanding just a year ago. Was the UEFA player of the season. He was a key part of a Champions League and Euro winning midfield and could handle being pressed by almost any team - City, Liverpool, Real. The worry is the athleticism, which was not really great to begin with, has tailed off now
