Chelsea Transfers

[NikkiCFC 8,369]

Chilwell is our starting LB for next 4,5 years. It's hard for young player to see the route there. Also it's clear we are getting main source of income from selling academy players for pure profit. Decision needs to be made. Maatsen or Hall. Around 30m for us. Chalobah as well. Carney and Broja too if we get nice offer. We need to generate money somehow instead of maybe planned money from Gallagher who cannot be sold under any circumstances.

Personally wouldn’t surprise me if we sell Chilwell in a year or two, especially if he doesn’t stay injury free. I have the feeling we will regularly sell depreciating assets and replace them with up and coming players as part of the new strategy.

A few conspiracy theories have been going through my head about why we're spending so much money, buying so many young players and tying them down for such a long time:

1. Maybe part of the plan for the acquisition is to join Super League 2.0, whatever that will be (maybe something dreadful involving Saudi teams?), where there will be no FFP. Subsequently, we don't care about FFP. That would be really gross, but the one thing I dislike about Todd is that he would probably cockily think this is genius.

2. Maybe we're anticipating a transfer ban and want to secure ourselves through it. Maybe we're expecting a hard stance after we've had one already and have now self-reported ourselves over breaches under Roman?

3. Maybe we are 99.9% sure any trouble will just be a fine, and we're just saying no problem

4. Maybe we anticipate some kind of ban / points deduction but think the net benefit is worth it to become a top team again quickly

5, we are buying all the young talent before we end up sending clubs like brighton 100m, and we are creating young talents ourselves then we can sell for big money.

brighton are buying valentino barco, one of the biggest talents in the world. he's a left back. so i can see us buying him for like 120m in two years 😍

Yup, don’t like it. I get we need pure profits but selling youngsters to fund external signings was marina s thing . At least we are only buying other, more talented young players mostly but Hall I think is probably already better than Cucurella who will play in his stead. Terrible business .

yeh , cucarella is terrible. Should just get rid of him however possible. Hall and Maatsen have big potential, chilwell is very ordinary and always injured

Maatsen or Hall ?

Maatsen is an actual fullback. So if we can somehow shift Cucu it should be him that stays, imo. 

[Vegetable 830]

Interesting thing is that given how young the new team is, it will be even harder for our own youth to make it into first team in coming years. Cucu's and Sterling's spots are next to open, but it may take while as they are hard to sell. Silva? Backline is already full anyway. Young, expensive players on long contracts may be hard to shift, so even basic upgrades in the squad may prove difficult. It's possible we will see very little transfer activity from us for a while (partly to replenish FFP maybe).

Hall was like 17 when he started playing for our senior team at left back. Not like he has a career of playing midfield , his position can easily change. He looked much worse in midfield anyway

Exactly . LB will always be the realistic position to break into our first team. We have 3 in the u23 rn. Surely Hall should be above them in the pecking order. His crossing is also to good for him to play midfield 

[DDA 9,983]

Potch must feel Maatsens ceiling is higher.

[TheHulk 2,507]

Fucking rat we will never get rid of him.

[Pizy 18,985]

Just terminate his contract and let him walk like we did for Auba.

[Vegetable 830]

What does it even mean? If he fails the medical, doesn't it mean he should probably cease playing football for his own good? If his health if not good enough for Saudi and Turkey, PL may be literal threat to him then.
