Chelsea Transfers

If Vlahovic is going to come in on huge wages, it will be a Lukaku/Morata style disaster all over again.

And no, Jackson going to Afcon doesn't justify anything.

Drogba left for Afcon in 2010. We still won the title and Drogba won the golden boot.

Liverpool lost Salah and Mane to Afcon two seasons ago, and had no problems in the league.

Dunno what the problem is with this deal, give us so many options, Nkunku can play out wide Jackson's link up play is brilliant so he could play the 10 role when needed, it doesn't block anything apart from broja, which doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Hm what? If a striker has good link-up play, suddenly that player becomes a good choice to play the number 10 role? Where does that kind of logic come from? 

Don't forget that by using him in the number 10 role, you could also take away several primary strengths of that striker – explosiveness, positioning, timing of runs, goal-scoring instinct, etc.

This was Vlahovic' best season, compared with Lukaku, it was the season before Lukaku joined us:

 

What site is this? 

Why not just find another player with great metrics, young, that can produce like Jackson?

Lot more sense in the Dusan than meets the eye. Jackson is off to the AFCON not only that but as good as he’s been what if for whatever reason he falls off the face of the planet on the PL? We need a second choice, we have always moaned about lack of quality to look upon.

we need options and this works for me

Lot more doesn't make sense. 200k pw week wages for a striker giving competition, long-standing groin issues that has stopped other clubs from exploring deals, doesn't fit with the club's ideas of going for players they're passionate about.

In a summer of great decisions, this one seems daft and something we've been cornered into. We should wait more and ask Lukaku to take the Saudi option

He gives me Havertz vibes. Hard no from me

This is great. Along with James, he's signing up to be here long-term. I saw a lot of comments here saying he prefers to go to Brighton or is holding out for Liverpool. Turns out he was simply waiting to see if he will be given minutes, in and around the first time which is completely fair from his view.

Poch was pushing hard for Llorente to be Kane backup. Different profile striker. I see this in similar fashion. 

[NikkiCFC 7,899]

2 players for every position plus 3 GKs. Like on World Cup 23 players squad. 

Kepa, Sanchez, Bettinelli 

James, Gusto 

Chilwell, Cucurella 

Disasi, Silva 

Colwill, Badiashile 

Enzo, Santos 

Caicedo, Gallagher 

Nkunku, Kudus 

Mudryk, Sterling 

Madueke, Maatsen 

Jackson, Vlahovic 

 

Fofana injured basically comes in next season for Silva. 

So much potential on loan as well. If they become Chelsea level or we just sell for solid money is yet to be seen. 

Slonina, Hall, Humphreys, Casadei, Carney, Ugochukwu, Moreira, Angelo, Broja, Fofana... 

Sarr, CHO, Ziyech, Lukaku and Chalobah still to be sold. 

[enzoforever 10]

The only reason we should be looking at vlahovic is if Juve are willing to take Lukaku and ziyech/cucurella. No way should we even consider a bang average player like vlahovic. He is worse than morata

Don't get how playing behind a striker when needed makes you lose any of this tbf, he's would be playing a 10 role not a 2.

[Thor 2,369]

Yeah bugger giving them any cash for Dusan. 

Send Ziyech and Lukaku in a straight swap. Get more salary off the books. Ziyech would do great over there anyway.

They can have Les on loan.if reports were true that he was their intended Caicedo replacement.

Sending Casadei to them on loan would be ideal. But I feel like Santos is absolutely part of Poch’s thinking this season judging by how he was used in preseason.

I think he will be part of Poch's plans 100%- but that's the reason (if) they want him there's a reason, because he's brilliant.
