I mentioned no names

you are the one having a go and getting personal in terms of insults

I mentioned no specific names and it was not a direct 'quote reply' to anyone

ironic that you are positing that I am putting words into people's mouths when you just did exactly that with me

 

this is what I said

You quoted me and made out I was getting excited about the fact it may get blocked, so the no names thing is irrelevant, especially when it's clear as day the ones your refering too.

Yes brilliant player, but unfortunately won't be any where near this club, due to reason out of our control.

Think this might just take more than faith, I hope we get him I really do, I just can't see how this happens. Chelsea made a point with mudryk letting him walk in with the Ukrainian flag around him! To then sign a Russian player from russian, sorry I just can't see it.

Club announce they have paid final instalment of deal with Chelsea – No longer owe Blues money

https://sportwitness.co.uk/club-announce-paid-final-instalment-deal-Chelsea-no-longer-owe-blues-money/

With Brazilian clubs often drowning in debts, it’s normally a big deal when they manage to settle some payments.

This seems to be the case with Atlético Mineiro, who officially announced they no longer owe money to Chelsea.

On Twitter, the Brazilian side confirmed that they’ve settled the debt for the signing of Nathan, who joined the club back in 2020.

It’s said Atlético paid Chelsea the final instalment from this deal, which was worth R$7m (£1.1m), and are now free of that debt.

Nathan belonged to Chelsea for five years after he joined the club still in 2015 in a €4m deal from Athletico Paranaense, but was never given the chance of making a single appearance for the Blues.

The midfielder was then involved in several loans during that period, having featured for Vitesse, Amiens, Belenenses and Atletico Mineiro until his permanent €3m sale was done.

Nathan is still only 26, and now tries to make a new path in Brazilian football, even though his stay at the Galo is not guaranteed for the current season.

In yet another step towards cleaning up the Club's finances, Atlético paid off, last Friday, January 13th, the remaining portion of the purchase of midfielder Nathan from Chelsea, from England. The amount paid was 7,096 million reais.

Report: Agent of £53m player jets into London this week, after claims Chelsea want him

https://www.thechelseachronicle.com/transfer-news/report-agent-of-53m-player-is-in-london-this-week-after-claims-Chelsea-could-try-and-sign-him/

Denzel Dumfries’ representative will reportedly be in the English capital this week, amid claims Chelsea could make a move for him.

According to GiveMeSport, the agent of the Inter Milan player is set land in London some time in the next few days, potentially to organise a transfer to ‘The Big Smoke’.

Of course, Dumfries’ delegate might just be doing a bit of sightseeing.

A touristic tour that could take him to the offices of Stamford Bridge, where his client reportedly has several interested suitors.

The Inter defender has been linked with a possible transfer to Chelsea throughout the campaign, as the club attempt to strengthen their full-back options.

Particularly at right-back, where Cesar Azpilicueta is the only senior player available to cover that position currently.

Reece James’ remains on the side-lines through injury, whilst Trevoh Chalobah’s recent performances in this area of the field have not been ground breaking.

Denzel Dumfries could possibly improve Chelsea

Dumfries would represent a formidable right-back, who can also be deployed as a wing-back if the formation requires.

He is a proven attacking weapon as well as a defensive force, having contributed 17 goals in 68 appearances for Inter in just under two seasons.

His Serie A employers are said to be willing to sell the Dutch international to help balance their books.

They value the 26-year-old between £44m and £53m.

'I really do': Ornstein says there's another signing he expects Chelsea to make soon, in talks with £10m star

https://www.thechelseachronicle.com/transfer-news/i-really-do-ornstein-says-theres-another-signing-he-expects-Chelsea-to-make-soon-in-talks-with-10m-star/

David Ornstein has told The Athletic’s Football Podcast that he expects Chelsea to sign a striker this January.

The Blues have enjoyed a busy and fruitful Janaury so far, as Todd Boehly continues his spending spree as the new club owner.

They have invested for the future with the signings of David Datro Fofana and Andrey Santos, with Benoit Badiashile also impressing in his first start for the club at the weekend.

 Joao Felix and Mykhailo Mudryk represent two big name additions this winter, as they look to rescue somewhat of a respectful finish to the campaign.

However, plenty of reports suggest that they are still looking to add to their ranks in the next two weeks.

Chelsea could sign Thuram

They have been linked to a right-back to compete with Reece James, as well as a midfielder in the face of a potential exodus in that role.

There have also been links to further strengthening the attack.

The Blues are reportedly interested in Marcus Thuram as the desired option, with Ornsetin claiming they have already been in talks over potentially signing him.

He said: “I think they will take a striker. I really do. They have been in talks with Marcus Thuram, let’s see how that develops. They see Kai Havertz as a number 10, not someone leading the line. There’s been interest in the likes of Osimhen and Vlahovic. They consider so many players.”

The Chelsea staff will certainly be making any signings safe in the knowledge that they will be bringing in Christopher Nkunku in the summer,

With Mudryk and potentially Felix also at the club next year, it will take a lot of thinking and a few departures in order to get the club in a position where they’re back competing.

This is what people way more important than him are doing. 

Russian players couldn't play Wimbledon last year for example.
