Chelsea Transfers

[dimmas 131]

I have big doubts about him, but Kudus actually looks brilliant here — though it's a compilation from last season (2023/2024), which can be misleading regarding his current form and only shows his good moment. 

He seems like the opposite of Sancho — He offers directness, bursts of pace, power, strength, and the ability to shoot. 

He's a great ball carrier who wants to beat defenders something that we really need

At the very least, compare him to Madueke — I prefer Kudus. Who knows maybe he still has something to unleash as a player

I'm just bored of watching Madueke, he is the jack of all trades master of none, and if Newcastle want to give us 40M then send him there.

I like Kudus but not for the reported price, absorb that price with a player bringing it way down and I think Maresca can work with him, he's raw but with an edge, I would defo take a gamble.

Sami Mokbel from the BBC confirming our interest in Kudus

Plettenberg is also saying we are really pushing for Ekitike but Liverpool are also there

[Strike 7,793]

 

5m is ridiculously low for someone who's had a good season of starting games in the PL

 

[Duppy Conqueror 1,584]

Think we could get Rogers for money that it would take to get Kudus.maybe we would have to pay more hard cash for Rogers but both deals look like would be a player + cash deal.

I'd be much happier with Rogers. We have a need in our attack but we do have to consider whats coming through before biting on big money deals.

Noni nor Neto may be the longterm answers but for atleast another year till George and Willian can grow into starting roles isnt a bad idea imo either.

It’s honestly sad and depressing what this club has turned into. We’re out here chasing average players like Kudus and random youngsters, instead of going after proven top-level talent. The team desperately needs a proper center back someone like Ilya Zabarnyi would be ideal. For the left wing, Rodrigo makes perfect sense. Up front? Viktor Gyökeres is the obvious choice solid, proven, and without some ridiculous buyout clause.

But no, instead we’re being linked with names like Ekitike overhyped, unproven, and now Frankfurt will probably demand €80–100M for him, just because of recent sales. Look at what Man City paid for that Egyptian forward €75M. PSG spent €95M on Kolo Muani. Clubs see us coming from a mile away.

Worse still, we clearly haven’t learned a thing from past mistakes. We keep shopping in the Bundesliga like it’s some magic fix but most of those signings flop. The style of football there is nothing like the Premier League. How many more times do we need to get burned before we stop?

I really miss the Roman Abramovich era. That was a club with ambition, with a winning mentality. Now? It's a shell of what it used to be. You think Roman’s watching this and laughing? Not a chance this has to hurt him, just like it hurts the real fans.

Half this squad is made up of average players. And any fan who truly understands football knows exactly how many top players we actually have you can count them on one hand. No need to say names. Real fans know.

Madueke and cash for Gordon is a deal I'd like to see

Where did you copy and paste that from? It would have been easier to read in braille

Did not copied that. Instead of speaking about real problem we have you speaking about copy paste text, did not expected from you Special Juan and also the last person I expected to replay such a nonsense

Men i had more respect to you because you one of active users here for very very long time, but I see you like what clown Clarke is doing with this club. Crazy how fans also so brainwashed about all this. This clowns already destroyed what Roman build for so many years by becoming academy club like Ajax but with money.

Take a step back and it was a tongue in cheek bit of fun mate, honestly just chill out I didn't shit on your Xmas presents

The  middle ground between Roman and Clearlake is where we need to be. Both were/are too extreme opposites. Lets see what the rest of the summer window/s bring up.

Gordon is a great player what are you talking about, we have have some fantastic players under Roman and some absolute dross aswell, palmer and caicedo for example would fit in most teams Roman made, no one is brain washed but this is how the club is now…. We have no say who we buy but I for one am happy with delap premier proven and tore us a new arse hold when we played Ipswich. 

[OneMoSalah 9,104]

If Newcastle want Noni then the first player we should be trying to get from them/work into any deal, is Sandro Tonali (Isak would be top but unattainable for us I think). 

Gordon has improved aye and is of a similar position but what a season Tonali has had. He and Caicedo would be scary. I get then we’d have to reshuffle the pack re positioning/playing Enzo & Cole together, have Santos coming back as well as Lavia (fitness going to be reliable?) but it would be some statement signing. Would be something the old Chelsea would do - like when Ballack came in. Defo more pressing areas but if we are going to try deal with Newcastle for Noni, why not?

Can’t see it happening but would be a massive move - weakening a CL rival significantly whilst strengthening our midfield with one of the best PL players in that position for me. Was noise about Napoli/Juventus/Milan sniffing around Tonali this summer I think.

Ever watched Chelsea play ever felt the atmosphere more than a couple of times? Ever felt the mood change with managers in the stadium? The 'new' fans you talk about are keyboard warriors like yourself who dont watch football just look at stats...

Joao Felix/Trade deal?

https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/i/165073278/joao-felixtrade-deal

So as you would have heard about yesterday, Benfica want to bring Felix back to the club this summer.

At the moment, they are trying to loan him without any option or obligation to sell. Chelsea ideally want to sell and are keeping the door open to other suitors coming in.

A dry loan deal is not fully being ruled out at Chelsea but this obviously does not help them unless Benfica take on all of his wages during the loan spell.

SPTC sources have heard that Chelsea are considering going back to Benfica and speaking about a potential trade deal for one of Antonio Silva or Tomas Araujo to arrive at Chelsea as part of an unofficial swap deal.

We’ve heard that Chelsea REALLY want at least one new centre back to bring to the CWC. This does not yet mean the Jarrad Branthwaite deal or other interests such as Marc Guehi is dead though. Although so far, Everton are desperately trying to keep Branthwaite and are trying to persuade him to stay for another season.
