Chelsea Transfers

If they get a proper striker like Gyokeres then they’ll have a genuinely great attack. For a club that finished 15th and were a total embarrassment. Biggest thing they’re still missing though is a decent central midfield. They need a total rebuild in there.

Unfortunately, it appears like United SHOULD take a big step forward next season instead of continuing to be a laughingstock like I had hoped. Having no European football and 1 game per week to focus on most of the season should massively help them fright for 4th.

This where Gyokares goes for me to United, his old gaffer and a proper bull of a CF

Mate, until the replace Onana who makes Sanchez look like prime Yashin and their slow as fuck CB's along with the vastly overrated Drogu and Yoro they will still be too easy to get at. Utd's biggest problem is in their defensive areas - especially in a 343 formation - means buying some nice attacking players just turns losses into draws which puts them midtable even with one game a week.

Mbuemo to United, then. That’ll be an annoyingly good signing. 

I bet if Chelsea signed Mbuenbo, our fans wouldn’t be too happy about it — and United fans would be like, “Told you so.”

Let’s be honest: he’s only had one great season, and even then, 5 of his 20 goals were penalties.

Playing for a big club is a different kind of pressure, and he might not handle it well.

Does anyone start to feel like there is something going on  with Gyökeres? Like a red flag which top club scouts noticed. It doesn't feel like top PL-clubs are very much after him, everyone chasing other targets. Or other European clubs. Isn't he a wanted man?

[whats happening 1,666]

probably asks for too much.

A combination of wages and red flags over his pervious performances in the PL.

Get rid of Jackson.

[Special Juan 28,765]

I'm bored of watching Jackson he's just not much good at anything and the fact people say he should be on the left says more about how poor he really is

Get rid, Delap will be better than him

Didn't he just sit on the bench one time? I recall he never played in the PL.

He has 60M release cause though, we seem to go for 80-100M Ekitike, wages should cover the difference. Arsenal going for Sesko, Liverpool for Wirtz, United got Cunha, bit weird to me. I expected many club would match 60M and he'd quickly find a new team.

[mkh 760]

Milan agreed a €35M transfer fee with Al Hilal for Theo Hernandez 

Theo still needs to decide if he’ll accept a move to Saudi Arabia first. 

Allegri wants Juventus’ Andrea Cambiaso as the replacement.

£60m layout, £300kpw~, and 27 in two days. Not to mention his only productive seasons have come in Portugal. 

It shouldn't surprise anyone why people aren't jumping through hoops for him. Tell me the last 27 yr old to not have played in any of Europe's top leagues and delivered.

For sure there would be some of our fans underwhelmed if we signed him but not me. It’s not even mostly about his goals for me but about his playing style and mentality. He’s an animal on the pitch.

I personally believe he'd be a better signing than any winger we purchase during this window.

Or non-performances. I don't think he actually played a Premier League game. Or should I say, Google doesn't think so. 🙂

Should've read, last time he played in England. 

Essentially, the red flags come from him being at Brighton for four years and barely getting a chance, while his loans at Champo sides bore decent to good records. Let's not forget Brighton is a club (the key club of Tony Bloom's club network, no less) who are known to be highly data driven and prone to giving youngsters a chance. Him being there so long and not getting much of a sniff after multiple Champo loans is a serious reg flag. 

On top of this, his Champo seasons with Coventry, after being sold by Brighton, where decent but not septactular. He then went to Portugal and put in amazing numbers but this league is also known for churning out players like Darwin and Felix who flatter to decive. Essentially, he kind of screams Kezman. Of course, some players progress much later in their careers, but Gyokeres at £60m plus £250k+ a week for four-five years seems like a risk that you cannot get out of if it goes pear shaped (owing to his age.)

As others in here have mentioned, it’s probably never a good sign when the supporters of the club aren’t bothered at all if a player is sold. Dortmund fans seem perfectly happy to see Gittens sold.

For me he feels like such a Spurs or Villa level signing where that sort of price is the highest they’ll go to and his level is all they can attract. Chelsea should be aiming much higher. 

All Gittens feels like he’d be here is expensive squad depth. And since that’s the case we may as well just keep Sancho for half the cost. 

From what I've seen it's more he doesn't suit their new system (that doesn't play with wide wingers) and the money can go on Jashari or Jobe Bellingham (who would) as opposed to thinking he's outright crap.

Not that he'd be my first choice, but still important context i feel.

Lukakuu springs to mind in a way he had a few good seasons at West Brom, but at Utd and Chelsea was utter shite, went to the Italian league and it just suits him, some players find there level in other leagues and thrive, premier league isn’t for everyone, that’s one good thing I see about bringing these kids in young to play in the league.
