Chelsea Transfers

[TheHulk 1,847]

The club is run by complete clowns obsessed with Brazilians. If you gonna spend so much on a defender why not go for a top one like Calafiori or Antonio Silva but no, let's get a Brazilian who does some flicks and tricks in attack when he can barely get the basics right in defense. I'd rather get Anselnino than this guy, what a colossal waste of money this will be if it anywhere near 50m let alone 70m.

absolute madness we did not buy Giorgi Mamardashvili last summer

he is the best keeper at the Euros IMHO, was a monster today

a 1.97m tower, so good in the air, with good feet/passing

superb reflexes

Diogo Costa looks like a dwarf next to him (11 cms shorter) and Costa had a sort of meh game, including his passing

Yeah, he is a beast. Prefect PL GK so long as you're not wanting Ederson level technical skill on the ball.

On X/Twitter we are now linked to Murillo from Nottingham Forest.

Murillo Santiago Costa dos Santos (born 4 July 2002)

Zouma had a better run against opposition in the CL against Ajax. Using stats/clips/highlights is such a bad way to scout a player. I am not saying he is bad - I haven't seen much of him/taken note of him- but a clip shouldn't change anyone's mind.

Murillo does look insanely good on the ball for a CB tbf. In fact, his game reminds me almost exactly of Gvardiol’s. Same dribbling style, same bombing forward carrying the ball, same super aggressive tackling.

But as I said yesterday I don’t know what the point in having all 3 of Colwill, Badiashile, AND Murillo who all occupy the same area. Unless the plan is different under Maresca than we all think and we’ll be primarily playing a back 3 rather than with 2 CB’s and we need an extra CB for depth.

50-70m for a Brazilian CB who is uncapped even at youth level in a period of rather meh Brazilian CBs and with just one ok PL season would be ridiculously stupid- in other words a trademark clownlake signings

Especially as we’re ALSO negotiating for another young South American “super talent” at CB as we speak in Anselmino. And from what I can see in the YouTube footage he does look legit great unlike some of the other teenagers we’ve bought recently.

I am taking it this kid is coming straight in, yes? Hopefully this means we get rid of Disaster, even if that is to Strasborg on loan.

He is going on loan to Strasborg while Disasi will continue to stink the place here another season.

No rumours I've seen yet. Prefer to sign Maignan. Couple of positions, we can go for experience - GK being one of them. 

Ah, okay. I was a huge fan a few seasons ago, and he was my number one choice for a while. However, he hasn't been at the same level for a while, so a lot would come down to the potential package as to whether he'd be good value or not.

I just really hope we sign someone who's first-team quality and over 27 this summer.

He does. And looks like the deal is signed too. 

The club seems to be making queries on Isak, David, Murillo, given there's the PSR deadline of June 30 coming up. Will be a while before we make the next move in the market I think.

I really hope not. If Disaster has to play it should only be when we play Tier C & D clubs in Conference and Domestic cups. I suspect the new Manager will see this with his determination to play short passes and have everyone tactically disciplined.

Calafiori would make much more sense, given that he could play CB and play LB at a high level.
