Who is an elite name who’ll win titles ? Outside of Mbappe, I don’t see such a player anywhere in football where I think they’ll be a sure-fire world class signing.

Not too many of them but yeah guys like Mbappe, Kane, Bellingham, probably Vinicius… not that we’d ever of had a chance regardless but even the tier or two of top players below that, I severely doubt we will sign them with this crowd in charge and the direction we are going.

Under Roman you always felt we would be able to compete for some of the very best players if they wanted to move to England. Irrespective of how we were doing.

Gusto is not a horrible player. He has  looked pretty decent in nearly every time he has played for us.

Doubt about Gusto. He just arrived and if sold we gonna have zero RBs.

Yes gusto looks good , maatsen will probably turn out well for another club too , playing at LB

Gusto has been among our few somewhat promising looking boehly signings along with Palmer, badiashile, Enzo and to an extent Sterling and Nkunku. The remaining 25 or so are probably just not good enough and also don’t look like they can be motivated. But I doubt someone will take them off us save for those painful subsidised rip off loans . But we have to get rid somehow cos the new zombie dregs are dragging down the rest with their no fks given attitude. The express is a parlous source anyway so doubt we will manage to shift a lot of players.

If we spend anywhere near this figure for him, we're completely finished.

Humphreys is having a decent spell in Wales and reportedly was very good in Germany earlier this year too. I think he definetly could be around first team if Thiago and Chalobah leaving and Fofana always injured.

Expect him, only two senior loanees(Kepa and Lukaku) seem to perform on a level which makes me think we could use in first team right now.

More car crash signings coming.

They manipulate the fanbase with pr that they want some elite players in January but these players have wages that these cowboys cannot give them cause our low structure wage policy  that's why they will buy the next  bunch of kids .

We paid as much for the feckless Caicedo who  is not even half as gifted technically or physically as Osimhen. While I am not a fan of these mega buys anyway and not 100% sold on Osimhen, a proven world class striker in his prime  in the 24 to 27 age bracket (which apparently many think Osimhen is) should surely warrant that price tag more than any other.

Why Chelsea have decided not to rival PSG for Gabriel Moscardo

https://thedailybriefing.io/i/139718778/why-Chelsea-have-decided-not-to-rival-psg-for-gabriel-moscardo

Gabriel Moscardo is looking likely to join PSG, who are making progress on a deal. Moscardo and Corinthians don’t really want a January exit, but that won’t prevent a transfer if the 18-year-old is signed then loaned back.

Luis Campos has already confirmed Moscardo is on PSG’s radar. At the time of writing nothing is done, but PSG have been optimistic since late November.

Chelsea actually had a bid for Moscardo rejected over the summer, and they are getting a bit of a reputation for trying for pretty much every top Brazilian in the industry.

Liverpool have also been out scouting thoroughly in Brazil recently. It’s a priority market right now for many top clubs.

Chelsea have, as it stands, decided not to rival PSG for Moscardo. We heard some reports in Brazil saying a deal was done to take Moscardo to Stamford Bridge, but this was firmly denied by those close to both the player and Chelsea.

Chelsea know they have to be a bit more economical now with transfers, especially if they want to move for an elite striker. Perhaps Moscardo was the kind of deal they would have pushed more aggressively last January, but the priority now is outgoings, to keep the squad size the same or get it smaller, and to get a bit more proven talent for the second half of the season. That’s why PSG should now have a relatively clear run to get Moscardo over the line.

Benoit Badiashile’s departure from Chelsea looks far from straightforward

https://thedailybriefing.io/i/139777437/benoit-badiashiles-departure-from-Chelsea-looks-far-from-straightforward

Somewhat surprisingly, we’re already seeing Benoit Badiashile being linked with a move away from Chelsea, less than a year since he joined from Monaco. There’s no doubt he’s struggled a bit, but it’s also the reality that he’s one of a number of players at Chelsea who’s tied into a very long-term contract.

Despite links with the likes of AC Milan, that puts Chelsea in a very strong position if anybody wants to come in and try to prise him away. Based on that contract situation and how he’s played at Chelsea so far, I don’t think he’ll necessarily be seen as a very attractive prospect for a lot of clubs. Perhaps there would be potential for a loan with a view to buying, but if he’s not starting a lot of games and he’s not excelling at Stamford Bridge then it’s hard to imagine him being a very attractive prospect at the kind of price that Chelsea would presumably demand.

It’s not the easiest environment at Chelsea right now and it seems like Badiashile would benefit more from being in the kind of environment he was in at Monaco. There’s simply no guarantee now that he’s going to get a lot of minutes now that Chelsea remain in a delicate situation in mid-table and Mauricio Pochettino is under so much pressure to get the team back in contention for a place in Europe.

It’s interesting to see these Badiashile rumours surface less than a year after his arrival, but his contractual situation looks potentially like a significant stumbling block, and one that could bind him to Chelsea for a few more years. It might be that he’ll come to regret that decision when he could’ve been better off playing more football elsewhere.

I highly doubt we'd be able to get Osimhen to Chelsea without European football.   He's not going to come here and play for a rubbish side that will very likely finish 10th or worse in the league this season.

Watch him turn out way better than anyone we bought
