 Realistic Transfers in January :

Dembele , Zaha , Olmo  

 

Unrealistic :

Sancho  , Chillwell , Werner  , Draxler , Isco , Ziyech

 

 

 

My take an Frank's press conference comments is that he initially let slip his lack of interest Zaha before getting back on script to say the usual won't comment on another club's player stuff. Whether that lack of interest also goes for the club, we will see.

Just did my usual YouTube scouting after seeing this tweet. This kid looks like an amazing talent but it's difficult to judge how good he'd be making the step up to a better league. He looks far too good to be in Croatia, though.

 

Haven't seen the lad but your comment brings to mind what I felt about Almiron after watching youtube clips of him in MLS. I said at the time that I did not think he could possibly be as good as he looked in those highlights or he would not still be playing MLS at his age. Almiron was then 23 or 24 I think but the reports say Olmo is 21 so there wouldn't be quite as much cause for suspicion in his case.

19 year old gem moves to Italian giants despite love for Chelsea

https://www.chelsea-news.co/2020/01/19-year-old-gem-moves-italian-giants-despite-love-chelsea/

 Dejan Kulusevski 

FUCKING JUVENTUS, GRRRR

he was one of my top 3 young U21 left footed RW/AMF targets

along with Nicolò Zaniolo of Roma (the top one), and Dominik Szoboszlai of RB Salzburg

 

 

[Vesper 30,175]

I have mentioned Olmo since August

he is a Barca product, born in Spain despite being Croatian

5 goals, 4 assists in CL play this year

scored for the Spanish Sr national team in his only game for them so far, this November

scored a superb goal versus Shitty

Barca want him back, and just made an official offer

Don't know what to think about Dembele. Lacazette had better numbers in Lyon but is nothing special in England. But not many options available anyway. I guess Werner have other plans. With Dembele I wouldn't be surprised if Tammy keep his place in the starting 11. 

OL rejects an offer of € 40 million for Moussa Dembélé from Chelsea

If you want experience, then I guess Draxler fits the bill. But otherwise, he's an inconsistent player - though not without talent - and hasn't really done much since his early Schalke days.

he has only had one and half good seasons ever

2012/13 with Schalke, when as an 18/19yo he had a huge breakthrough that led to his being on the 2014 WC winners

and then his first half year at PSG (he came in January 2017)

 

other than those 18 months

he has been pedestrian at best

DRaxler would be such an underwhelming signing. It would be typical of our board. What the fuck will he offer us exactly? Experience? We could def do better on that front if thats what we are after. Now Dembele I get, still young, pacy and all that. I still adament we will once and for all see our ambition in the summer, we will see if the Club has learnt anything these past years.

[Special Juan 28,141]

Draxler is finished, probably happen.

Lampard seems convinced he is a potential new Drogba

I think that is being too clever by half

and conflating French Africans on a a traditional French power team (Drogba coimng from OM)

maybe I am wrong (and quite likely so, I simply do not have a solid grip on the lap as an EPL player)

I am not slating Dembele, I just would vastly prefer we go BIG and try and grab Werner or even Lautaro Martinez (especially if we do NOT drop huge money on Sancho, as Martinez will cost a shit tonne, and yes, he has won me over after much doubt earler, so full disclosure), even if that means waiting until summer

Have we not been tracking Dembele since his Celtic days? I seem to remember we were linked with him some years back. Could be a club's target and Lampard is on board with it, rather than a sole target of Lampard.

Draxler is a player Everton or West Ham or Leicester (who need a winger or two to truly put them in top 3 until until they start to lose their core and Vardy is caught by father time) should be looking at, not us

if I made a list of all the players we have been 'tracking' just since say 2015 or 2016

it would take me 5 hours or more and would so long it would take up pages, lolol

Guys, do you know that Timo Werner is good?

I assume this is FM?

I have never used it, but those stats for 2022/23 are crazy OTT

lololol

we can but dream I suppose

then wake up to the reality that Alonso is under contract with us until 2023

Yup, it's FM 20. Werner is at his peak age 26/27 but yeah, I was shocked he was able to score that many!  Have been using him as the sole striker too.

I'm cautiously optimistic over Werner. I will jump down from a building if we sign him!

Not only would Dembele be a weird signing from our perspective (because he's so similar to Tammy) but it would also be weird from his perspective as he wouldn't be first choice. Why would he come here to be a rotation player?

We need a Werner/Griezmann/Auba type striker. Not a like for like target man player.

Lautaro Martinez

who is starting to remind me (maybe you can laugh at me, lolol) a bit of

Sergio Agüero (obviously nowhere near that level yet, but they are similar so far)

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

Dembele is massively underwhelming
