Chelsea Transfers

[OneMoSalah 9,104]

Selling Nkunku and signing Tel would be the most Clearlake thing ever. Fucking hell. Long term target or not, he and Delap are the sort of players that aren’t ready to lead the line for us if we want to win titles/trophies sooner than later. Just like Nico. We need a more established player but this is the position in world football where there isn’t a lot of good options unfortunately.

Maresca would be better served trying to use Nkunku much more often as a 9 than actually going for these sort of strikers for me (although I reckon he is as good as gone). Delap has a totally different profile but still think that he needs to be playing every week to develop, if he has any sense he will remain where he is to the summer and perhaps even for a full second season in the PL if they stay up.

I couldn’t see Maresca dropping Nico for him in all honesty. Particularly given he hasn’t benched him for Nkunku who has been prolific in the limited minutes he has had.

💬As of this afternoon, Mathys Tel's position remains unchanged. He wants to stay at Bayern despite the very concrete interest of Chelsea and also other clubs.

However, there could be a rethink before the end of the window if Tel doesn't get any chances/game time in the next few games and get the feeling he's not in the coach's plans.💭

If we fail to sign an elite finisher this month our board is going to cost Maresca his job. Failing to bring one in last summer and trusting the ultimate inconsistent striker Jackson and backing him up with a completely raw 18 year old was stupid enough. Seeing the evidence match after match after match and failing to go and get one this window would be pure insanity.

We’ve seen reporters repeatedly say that we as a club NEED Champions League football revenue ASAP in order for all this spending to continue to work. If that’s the case they need to move rapidly in these next couple of weeks or we ain’t getting it.

 

[Mário César 1,483]

we're a joke of a football club 

nothing more to say

years of mediocrity, unfortunally 

[Special Juan 28,765]

I have zero sympathy for the outcome of games now at this club as we have dodged and skated around buying a top class forward for years, we have deserved this and what we are seeing

Jackson time after time missing big chances to kill games is a theme, it's regular and consistent like us dropping points

The club and the boards outlook is tiresome

[DH1988 1,356]

If by some miracle we fleece Bayern for £65m, then surely it goes onto the release clause to Sporting 5 minutes after.

Can't say I can get behind someone else around that price range. Delap, great, we already have a young run into the ground type in Guiu, not comparing their ceilings but isn't it another work in progress? Just read a post about Tosin being the 'uncle' of the group.. yeah that's a bit of a stones throw from Thiago Silva as the groups older influence.

Mainoo for nkunku do you reckon?

It's been in the media before mainoo doesn't want the defensive midfield position and would rather an 8 or 10

[Special Juan 28,765]

We have activated option to recall Chalobah, Ornstein is reporting this, this is with immediate effect, he is not available for Palace tonight

[lluubbeenn 188]

Trev is back. Get in! Hope for the same outcome as last season. Trev back in the 11 and on we go!

[Special Juan 28,765]

Trev is miles better than Disasi and Tosin, not outstanding but he gives it everything and for me should have still been here

[Pizy 19,282]

So dumb. What we need is an immediate injection of top quality at CB. Trev is a good CB but is on the same level as Tosin. He’s no better.

United won't let Mainoo go, there's no way.   His agents are just trying to get him a nice payrise for the next contract.

Yes he is, mate. He is class and bleeds blue. I don't know how we sent him on loan after last season. He was disrespected and frozen out for half of the season. Came back and we went from 10th to 6th and lost only one game. He is no Van Dijk, but he is the best option available on the market.
