Chelsea Transfers

[Mário César 975]

he demands time playing and I understand that 

I don't know what to say

If we would stay on bench for several games its harsh for his development

he should be starting as it stands. Badiashile is out for months

We have two options regarding Levi Colwill:

-  Give him starting place in front of Benoit and KK on the left and extend his contract and pay package

- Sell him and regret it later 

 

I would make him vice captain behind Reece and build our defense around him, but surely the board will prioritize their defensive buys...  

[whats happening 1,525]

vice captain? why dont we start building him a statue 

[Superblue 6,370]

Colwill has 2 years left on his contract and reportedly there is a year extension trigger if he plays 15 league games next season so there should be no panic with him.

If he comes back next season and plays games he'll get that extension to give us some breathing space and I'm pretty sure he'd be happy to commit to a long term deal knowing he's broken through into the first team setup. 

It should be noted that Colwill has only started 12 league games for Brighton this season, it's not like he's been playing every week for them. I think he just wants a clear pathway available to him for the squad. At present with him coming back we'll have 6 first team centre backs on the books so there does need to be some work done to make sure he sees that opportunity here.

That interview was a Brighton fan trying get Chelsea supporters worked up and it seems to be working. Colwill has three years left counting his extension that Superblue posted about. It is amazing how media manipulation really works. Colwill will have a long great career here.

Colwill will be starting for us in the opening match next season. Not worried about his situation at all.

[Superblue 6,370]

I think in all honesty every one of us needs this weekend to roll around, Poch confirmed and then to just switch off for a couple of weeks and take a break. 

If you add the second half of last season on to this one, it's been 18 months of instability, scaremongering and dross football. Frankly it's been downright miserable. 

The owners have to take a lot of responsibility for how they've approached things and they've made a lot of mistakes and rash decisions over this last year, but this summer really does feel like it should be the time in which to start truly judging them. They'll have "their" football people in the boardroom and "their" manager at the helm, with a full summer for transfer activity amidst the backdrop of the experiences of this last season. 

If they can significantly trim this squad down to a realistic size and add a couple of key signings this summer, I think they'll certainly be on the right track.

Also I would rather keep Gallagher than Mount, at least Gallagher is a Chelsea fan. Never saw how people thought Mount was the next Mr.Chelsea, it has always been James for me.

Gallagher as fan.... sorry,  but that's laughable.

There are plenty of amateur 'fans' that could do a better job than Gallagher.

That shouldn't be a criterion to favor one player over another.

Drogba disliked being at Chelsea in his first couple of years. Would you have kept Gallagher over him?

Newcastle also allegedly matching release clause.

Good idea to sell Kanté he deserves a swansong at Barca and he’d probably play about 5 Matches next season 

[NikkiCFC 7,948]

I thought it would be a good idea to keep one experienced midfielder. 

Jorginho left and if we let both Kante and Kovacic go we would not have any left. Mount is also leaving, possibly Gallagher as well. That leaves us with:

Enzo 22 

Casadei 20 

Santos 19 

CC 19 (don't think he can play in pivot anyway) 

And new MF will also be young Lavia, Ugarte, Caicedo... 

I don't have a problem with one of them being in pivot starting with Enzo regardless age but are we really gonna have only these kids on the bench when realistically all should probably go on another loan? 

With only PL and Poch playing 4231 having 4 midfielders is ok. But it should be Enzo, new MF, Kante/Kovacic and one youngster. 

So if we cannot extend Kante just keep Kovacic even if that means losing him for free next summer.
