We as a club always seem to sign or prioritize pace, directness and athleticism whereas City always prioritize players who are super technical, intricate footballers with immaculate close control. As we saw with Klopp’s Liverpool, you can be an amazing side by playing with a team full of super athletes who play high octane, balls to the wall football but you need some absolute killers up front like Mané and Salah which we still don’t have.

Vesper 30,320 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/excl-Chelsea-reach-out-to-agents As you will know, The Blues are big admirers of Morgan Rogers and as reported here some weeks back now and consistently, he remains a name that the club are considering. But until now, Chelsea had not really made much of a move on this other than initial enquiries on fee. However, SPTC sources have heard that over the weekend, Chelsea have made contact with the agents of Rogers over a potential summer transfer move. Chelsea are attempting to lay down the foundations of a move, also known as getting the player buy in, before seriously looking at an approach to Aston Villa. The Villains need to sell some players this summer to comply with PSR, but it’s unknown yet if Rogers would be one of them. However, the fee we heard about initially was at least £80m if anyone wants to sign Rogers this window. The player is likely to be open to a move away from Villa this summer but it’s not believed that he actively would push for it. He has good friends at Chelsea already. And of course, there is that Manchester City/Joe Shields connection once again. Chelsea are looking for a versatile attacking midfielder to bring in this window as well as a new left winger, expected to be Jamie Gittens, and Rogers fits that bill of being able to play in a number of attacking positions and is someone that Chelsea would love to sign if they see it as doable. We’d expect this one to not be rushed though and it would be for the second transfer window this summer, if at all. mkh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember myself and many other Chelsea fans here and elsewhere really wanted him last summer but I do think he’d be more of a risky signing for us than he is for City. He could be perfect for that Pep system where they’re going to try to pass everyone to death and play at a slow pace. Whereas here you can tell by our signings and targets that Maresca wants high tempo, hard pressing monsters and width from his wide players.

Pep’s sides are known for their work ethic just as much as their ability to control the ball. This screams like a desperation signing from Pep in order to replicate KDB’s influence despite Cherki not providing any press nor defensive work rate. Teams that have midfields who dribble in transition will skin Cherki. dimmas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mhsc 1,109 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 They're presumably betting that Pep can break Cherki's spirit into being a hard working automaton If he creates clean chances for Haaland and they sort out his work rate they'll be unstoppable But that's a big IF.

Vesper 30,320 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 (edited) Manchester City interested in signing Chelsea goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6413340/2025/06/09/manchester-city-transfers-Chelsea-bettinelli/ Manchester City are interested in signing goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli from Chelsea. Pep Guardiola’s side are in the market for a new third-choice goalkeeper following the departure of Scott Carson, who spent six seasons at the Etihad. Bettinelli’s only appearance across four seasons at Chelsea was the 5–1 FA Cup third round victory over National League side Chesterfield in January 2022. The 33-year-old former Fulham goalkeeper, who has a year remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge, is now on the radar of City, where he is expected to be behind Ederson and Stefan Ortega in the pecking order. With the clubs on good terms and with Chelsea appreciative of Bettinelli’s service over his four years at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea expect to finalise talks soon and agree for the Englishman to join City in time for the upcoming Club World Cup. Both Chelsea and City are competing at the tournament and get their campaigns underway against LAFC and Wydad AC respectively. There is the possibility that Ederson, their first-choice goalkeeper of the past eight years, could depart City this summer which would prompt them to go into the market for a first-choice goalkeeper. However, Guardiola appeared to confirm that Ederson and Ortega would stay at City beyond this season, when speaking in Girona last week at the Camiral PGA Catalunya. “I think the two goalkeepers we have, Ederson and Stefan, will be staying,” Guardiola said. “So, we are happy with what we have.” Chelsea currently have Robert Sanchez, Filip Jorgensen and Djordje Petrovic — who spent last season on loan at Strasbourg — on their books, while Mike Penders has joined from Genk.

Looking like they want to play 3-4-3 that Amorim likes AMs Cunha and Mbeumo behind a striker with Amad as the wing back - which they've done a few times already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So would you take 12.5? Hell no? Ok we will place a bid of 12.5m. We reject it, ok so what do you want for him. 15m would you take 13.4? No we want 15m, Chelsea bid 13.4. We reject it…… good grief Pretty normal negotiation. We have no pressure to sign - have 4 GKs - Sanchez, Jorgensen, Petrovic, Kepa + Penders, Bettinelli etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
