Chelsea Transfers

[mkh 235]

@siphillipssport linked Chelsea to Liam Delap today. 

So, are you going to trust the scouts or have a meltdown?

🤔🤔

Don't forget the Duran deal to Chelsea didn't work out because Conor Gallagher didn't want to go to Aston Villa!!!😪😵‍💫

At this point, just keep an eye on players who are or once were part of City's youth set up (four of them scored in the EPL at the weekend).

A side note, I really like the look of Rogers. It's a shame we're stacked where WF/AM are concerned.

no

we could have bought him and sold Conor still (and still bought Felix to grease that) to Atleti

we not only fucked about with Shamu and Osimhen...................

BUT we also dropped (and this was with Villa)  €22.5m on Omari Kellyman (ANOTHER left-footed AMF/winger type, one of like 11 or 12 we now have, we could have just dropped the extra £21m and bought DURAN, and NOT bought some below, especially KDH OR sold some of the ones listed below that and not fucked about with Shamu and Osimhen)

plus

we also dropped (in terms of players who I either do NOT rate or are, like Kellyman, pure prosepects)

    
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall    €35.40m
     
Filip Jørgensen    €24.50m
     
Mike Penders    €20.00m

Caleb Wiley    €10.10m

112.5m euros there (94m quid) in toto

 

Villa only wanted £40m for Duran

Kellyman and KDH cost almost £50m

Jørgensen and KDH cost £50m

we already had Petro for GKer (who is playing great at Strasbourg btw) so zero need to dump out the cash for Jørgensen, OR if we wnated him no matter what, we could have sold Sanchez (I would have preffered that, I still am ragaing over why we ever bought him)

plus we were so busying fucking about with crazy complicated buys (multiple ones which blew up in our face) that we did not concentrate HARD on perma sales for suplus goods

we should have ALWAYS been trying to PERMA dump (from the moment the season ended, but no, we fucked about until it was too late)

Badi

Disasi

Chilwell

Broja (no buy obligation, no loan fee and only we also will pay his entire salary until Broja is ready to play)

Trevoh Chalobah  (no buy obligation)

Kepa Arrizabalaga (no buy obligation)

David Datro Fofana (no buy obligation)

Alfie Gilchrist (no buy obligation)

[Vesper 28,403]

the absolute shit buys since Roman's last year (the Lukaku nightmare buy)

I am not even counting the massive overpays for Caicedo and Enzo

the first 3 (italics) are looking dodgy so far, especially KDH

Omari Kellyman    Aston Villa      £19.10m (unless he blows up this may well be a bold rotter bust buy, especially as it helped to cost us DURAN, as shown above)
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall    Leicester City    Leicester    £30.00m
Filip Jørgensen    Villarreal CF    Villarreal    £20..50m

Axel Disasi    AS Monaco    Monaco    £38.50m
Robert Sánchez    Brighton & Hove Albion    Brighton    £25.00m
Deivid Washington    Santos FC    Santos    £13..50m 
Wesley Fofana    Leicester City    Leicester    £75.00m including add-ons (massive overpay due to his being damaged goods BEFORE we bought him)
Mykhaylo Mudryk    Shakhtar Donetsk    Shakhtar D.    £60.00m + add-ons that take it to £89.00m
Raheem Sterling    Manchester City    Man City    £47.50m (plus an insane £325K PW 5 year contract)
Kalidou Koulibaly    SSC Napoli    SSC Napoli    £35.00m
Benoît Badiashile    AS Monaco    Monaco    £34.00m
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang    FC Barcelona    Barcelona    £10.50m
David Datro Fofana    Molde FK    Molde FK    $10.50m
Romelu Lukaku    Inter Milan    Inter    £97.50m with add-ons and subtracting loyalty payment from Inter to us (£118.10m now  in September 2024 when adjusted for pound sterling inflation!)

 

£566.20m in toto (gross transfer fees + some add-ons) when Lukaku is adjusted for inflation and the Mudryk add-ons are included

£448.10m (gross fees + some add-ons) of that is on Bo-Clownlake

for the Americans here, that £566.20m is over 3/4ers of a BILLION US dollars gross spend ($750.52 million at current FOREX rates)

Other than Wes Fofana (IF he stays healthy, but we still paid double what he was worth IMHO even then, as he was damaged goods) every player listed is either SHIT or (the first 3) potential (if not likely) shit.
