Chelsea Transfers

We’re totally going to buy Omorodion, ffs. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

As promising as Guiu has looked in preseason, why are we now going to bring in someone with the same profile? A young, raw, powerful #9 who is still a couple of years away from being the finished article.

It’s just fucking baffling. And I think this is 100% the club who are obsessed with him rather than Maresca. They see him exactly as they do with the other wonderkids we’ve bought. A guy who will become a £100m player down the road.

The problem is WE NEED A FINISHED ARTICLE STRIKER NOW, not 2-3 years from now.

Omorodion 🤣 another fucking middle of the road buy, you can't make this shit up

He also wouldn't want to be remembered as a player that ran down his contract (sat in the reserves for a full season) and then walked on a free transfer at the age of 24. 

I've seen younger players (U-18 to U-20) leave on free transfers but don't recall many senior professionals doing it unless there was serious bad blood with the club. 

Mbappe, Rudiger and Alaba to Madrid recently. Ran down their contracts, left for free.

Don't think any of them had serious bad blood with the club.

Unless Alvarez has straight up told us that he isn’t interested in coming here and want to play in sunny, warm Spain it is criminal that we may very well buy Omorodion from Atleti whilst financing their move for the guy we should be after ourselves.

Spurs going all in on Solanke

[MoroccanBlue 5,291]

He looks so, so poor that Omorodion bloke. 

[Special Juan 27,419]

Another project purchase, total waste of time only for him to be shipped out to a Ligue1 side in a years time.

@Vesper would you take him at Chelsea as another option on the wings or too injury prone for us?

At €20m, he is worth a punt. Most all LW options are now, or soon will be, off the table. Gutted that we will almost for sure miss out on Désiré Doué.

Villa have turned down all offers for Morgan Rogers. Juve have refused us multiple times now for Kenan Yıldız (LOVE him). Antonio Nusa seems to have chronic injuries, and a hard pass on Grealish and Sancho (insane salary demands as well).

Besides Chiesa, Amine Adli, Ferran Torres, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, and Amine Gouiri are the main other LW options left, as the only truly big names for right footers (and this time I will include some who play more at AMF as well, but can play LW) still on the table are all so expensive and/or have huge salary demands:  

Florian Wirtz    
Jamal Musiala        
Rafael Leão   
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia    
Xavi Simons 
Luis Díaz  (wouldn't come here anyway) 
Nico Williams 
Dani Olmo  
Anthony Gordon   
Eberechi Eze (probably the least 'wingery' on this list)

True - Looks like a lot of work

Frustrating that we spent all those years with Havertz who was a technically good forward and threw it away to sign a youngster in Jackson and now signing someone even younger in Samu.

Gilchrist is off to Sheff United on loan all done

[Mário César 972]

Im tired

Matt Law reporting we are in pole for Omordrion and could also sign Osimhen

Makes no sense. Would suggest Guiu would have to go out on loan, I take it? Otherwise we go from having not enough strikers to too many.

Why not just forget Omorodion, keep Guiu here with the first team to learn and get valuable minutes here and there, and get Osimhen as our main man…

Does it class as pole position in a 1 horse race? 

[Special Juan 27,419]

I just can't make any sense of anything right now

Whilst italian clubs like to shop at Harrods on a poundland budget and somehow get what they want...

We live in the weird aisle at Lidl on a Harrods budget, stockpiling on shit we don't need whilst the baby goes hungry.

That would be sensible.

Julian Alvarez to Atleti is getting closer.

Samu Omorodion to Chelsea.

Lukaku/Osimhen swap still in play.
