Chelsea Transfers

[Thor 2,690]

A lot happened while I slept in Australia... So basically:

- Auba is done

- Zakaria is done on loan

- Depay looking good to join? 

 

That about cover it? Anyone else coming in I missed? 

[DDA 9,925]

Depay is underway. 

That's the end of Broja 

[milka 3,390]

 Depay was a goal machine at Lyon

Zakaria £30m buy option

Artur Melo, straight loan, no option

Ours is by far the better deal

zakaria is twice the player and if he recovers his Bundesliga form 30m buy option is a steal

hopefully his injury has indeed fully healed and he can continue where he left before juve. Have not seen him play in Italy so he could be a spent force now but he is better suited than Saul for his role

I see lots of people saying “Auba’s jaw looks fine!” What, is he supposed to have a giant cast wrapped around his head? 🤣🤣🤣 You don’t know what the inside of his mouth looks like.

Lol no. But he can talk just fine. You only talk gibberish  with a full jaw fracture

It’s not quite accurate tho. For Knock-out competitions or playoffs yes. Defence wins cups but offense wins leagues 

we are nowhere near a league winning team, but I will more than happily accept CL and domestic Cup wins (we are SO unxed i the CS, the League Cup, and the FA Cup, it is insane), plus the supranational trophies (Super Cup, FWCC)

I can lay out MY idea of league winning squad, but it is hard as hell to get the players I deem necessary atm

and YES, the big missing pieces are mostly offensive players

CF Osimhen or Lautaro or Vlahovic (youth prospect Karim Adeyemi)

AMF/SS Nkunku or maybe João Félix (also try for the Russian lad again, Arsen Zakharyan)

Winger a fully fit Chiesa and perhaps Diaby (if he keeps blowing up) or (better)  Rafael Leão 

MF Declan Rice and Bellingham or Barella (De Jong is a pipe dream) plus maybe Kouadio Koné (I so rate him, he was NOT a 'let's settle' push)

CB Josko Gvardiol, Milan Skriniar  

RB Hakimi (pipe dream), same (pipe dream) for LB Theo, leaving RB Joakim Maehle as realistic buy

better keeper, maybe finally Oblak

 

ship a TONNE of dregs and not good enoughs

 

crazy expensive and hard pulls, but there it is

Probably a minor fracture that just prevents him from playing contact sports but doesn't affect his normal life in any meaningful way.

the Dybala live announcement greeting the fans at night in Rome was utter madness, goosebumps

It is obviously not as bad as feared. If he did not have any surgery and there was no realignment of the bone necessary it will just heal from itself and he will probably be fine in 2 or3 weeks latest. 
It is crazy how many Barca players have been victims to assault and robbery in recent years anyway 

[ZAPHOD2319 4,803]

It would be pretty bad if he felt his skill set was bad for the PL! 😳

Never been a fan of billy but he is worth way more than we got for him. Really should have held out for more after how they shafted us for cucu

[milka 3,390]

Zakaria will have 2 path at Chelsea - Kovacic or Saul .  Both was loan deals too .

Spain's economy has been in the shitter for ages, and they have huge foreign gang issues, same for Italy (less economic issues though)

Sweden has crazy gang problems too, especially when judges on a Nordic scale

I have connections (some secondary) to many people who have had ultra violent incidents, including deaths (wish I was joking 😞 )
