Chelsea Transfers

How much have we actually spent this window on youngsters?

God help us if this kid is the Caicedo alternative. I’m seeing now that we’ve agreed a deal of over £20m for him and that’s pretty pricey for someone who would go straight to Strasbourg, isn’t it?

Same age as Lavia and 1/3 the price 😂

Yeah, the previous loan army was at least cheap-ish/free, that made a return on them a lot of easier. Now we seem to hoard very hit or miss players for prices that are actually beyond possibilities of most clubs in the game…

Sell Sterling and get him in 😏

Sell Sterling and go for Dembele before the 31st July.

Some journo on Twitter claiming this guy was Brightons replacement for Caicedo that De Zerbi mentioned 😂

Not sure if trolling but it would be too funny if true 🤣

So no Caicedo? Hes a kid himself with only 1 year of PL football. Angelo is far more experienced than Lavia e.g

Caicedo has more experience at a relevant level. Premier league and international including World Cup campaign.

Probably 1/3 as good

When we bought Strasbourg I figured the plan was to uncover inexpensive gems and develop them there with an eye to turn those inexpensive gems into Chelsea players, thus saving us money. I did NOT expect us to spend £20m+ sums for loan players. That’s the kind of money that small PL teams spend for their marquee signings!

Cmon, u never heard of him (just like me). So we cant judge yet.

I bet a lot of people would have cried about us signing Caicedo from Ecuador 2 years ago.

I’m just predicting

After watching Gusto, Angelo, Santos and Casadei I give our scouting departement the benefit of the doubt, even if hes not really cheap.
