Chelsea Transfers

[whats happening 1,621]

we should lose our 12th april game to them. would be better if it was later in the fixtures...

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

30m conditional buy obligation is indeed hefty . 
I would not entirely rule them out staying up. I expect them to have a go at teams given their defenders are not PL level. They need Omari, Broja or another attacker to blow up and win them a couple of games. Can’t see them rescuing a lot of draws vs stronger opposition so they need to collect 7,8 wins va the teams around them. Not impossible but even if Borja ends up carrying them which I highly doubt given he looked already useless for albania who had a similar outisider role, I would never want him back 

[TheHulk 2,482]

Heard he is good, maybe worth it for our shit defense next year.

[TheHulk 2,482]

Get rid of him at all costs.

[Mário César 1,284]

if we coudl get guei after this would be fantastic

Breaking: Ipswich Town are closing in on the loan signing of Chelsea striker Armando Broja.

(@Stuart_Watson)

I am worried that the obligation to buy clause will be contingent on them not being relegated

Ipswich will likely be relegated

in which case, if that allows them to skip out of the obligation to buy 

we are still stuck with the Albanian tractor

How can they use it to beat him with? He will just sit there collecting his wages.

yep, we are contracually obligated to pay him over £50m in salary over the next 3 years, most all of it paid to him as a 30yo and older (he turns 30 in around 3.5 months) player

ffs

and his family and grifter tag-a-long yardie entourage will never allow that dosh to be reduced (hard to blame them, Boehly was played like a hillybilly fiddle by agreeing to shell out those ridiculous wages)

So is Mamardashvili not good with his feet or something?

his distribution and ball playing is far more than adequate

watch him in the Euros and then watch him (like I have for a couple years, actual full games) playing in La Liga

he is very agile for a big lad and has a great sense of dimensional game flow

plus above all else, he is a world class shot stopper with superb reflexes

Paul Mitchell signed Axel Disasi from Remis while he was director at Monaco, and now has him on the list for Newcastle.

Palace are just about to sell Andersen back to Fulham apparently so I can’t imagine them selling Guehi too. Plus, I think the £65m or whatever they’re asking for him is FAR too much. That’s the kind of kk ey you pay for a VVD level monster who takes you up a level. And Guehi isn’t close to that.

[mkh 601]

Chelsea are looking to loan out, but NOT sell, 19 year old forward Deivid Washington.

This kills me.

fucking kills me

I have been screaming for 2 years to buy him

and back then he was only around £25m or so, and Pool are stll only paying 34m quid

that is £62m LESS than we paid for just Kepa (inflation adjusted) £75,000,000 in 2018 is equivalent  to about £96,279,620.72 today (hello bankster inflation)

plus we have dumped out Including add-ons)

£25m Sanchez

£22m Filip Jørgensen

£14m Đorđe Petrović

£10m Gabriel Slonina

£17m Mike Penders

total

£88m

literally (adding in just the inflation adjusted difference from Kepa v Mamar)

that is £150m in toto down the shitter atm in terms of fees (minus what we sell the others for)

and...

unless one of those 5 keepers right above works out (and remember, Penders and Slonina are only 19 and 20yo and will not be a regular here, if ever, for a few years more than likely)

we are still fucked at GKer

I have heard several predicting they stay up. Leicester has two different point deductions coming. 

I see both Leicester and Ipswich as the 2 clear favourites to go down

Getting Felix for like 25m less than Spuds paid for Solanke….

We can revisit this. Solanke could even work out but Joao Felix is a bad deal even at 40m. Plus he’s been brought as a left winger which makes even lesser sense

Palace want £75m for Guéhi

Inter wanted £77m for Bastoni

Barca wanted around £85m for Ronald Araujo

add in Bremer and Gvardiol (when he goes back to CB from LB)

and you have the only 7 truly WC, under 30yo CBs (atm and IMHO) on the planet, (with Micky van de Ven, another one of my targets back in the day, perhaps getting there soon)
 

Guéhi is a very good, solid CB but nowhere near that level of value for that price
