Chelsea Transfers

They gonna find some Panama wonderkid and pretend it's a better choice than Simons.

Beaten by Spuds to a signing we’ve chased for nearly 2 months. 🤢

I really don’t think it’s that bad. 
 

If you’re okay with going to Spurs it tells you where your ambition lies. Not high enough. 
 

This isn’t anywhere near as catastrophic as people make it out to be. We are fairly set in attack anyway.

What’s bad is how long we’ve been after him. If we had jumped in this week and missed out on him then whatever. It’s the fact that this has been going on for weeks and weeks and led to nothing.

We’ve been told by reporter after reporter that Nkunku leaving was THE key to “unlocking Xavi to Chelsea.” The very day Nkunku goes we  see Xavi to Spuds. 

All I want to know is why we refused to bid after all this time. Someone needs to tell us.

52m for Simons who is quality and we paid 48m for fucking Gittens. This board never ceases to amaze me.

Wouldn't surprise if we see later they want some project kid like Mainoo instead.

Agree on that. Embarrassing tbh.

Actually just keeping JP as 10 and Jackson as the second striker is the best option right now

They have a 10% sell on so basically it's close to that, another ill transfer.

The £40m fee paid for Garnacho only becomes close to £50m if he is sold on for close to £100m. If he establishes himself as a player clubs are prepared to pay that kind of fee for, the last thing we would want to do is sell him. 🙂

They can't be this desperate.

This is turning out to be a great day for Barcelona. They woke up to learn from the chattersphere that they wanted €60m for their player. Now they see the same sources want to chuck an extra €40m at them. Nothing for it but to pop back to bed and see how many more nice millions the morning brings them.

Unless Villa or some big club completely out of the blue suddenly jump in it looks like Jackson’s options for a permanent move have dried up. We’ve priced him so high that everyone called our bluff. 

If it’s true that Jackson needs to go permanently in order for us to make any signing post Garnacho then I don’t see it at the moment. Him going out on loan may not be enough for us.

It's probably a question of whether we can afford to sell him!

Whatever transfer fee we accept for Jackson must work within uefa's equation. If it doesn't, and he is determined to get away, it would be better to find a loan move where we retain control of his future transfer rights. Then we pin our hopes on a successful loan enhancing his future transfer value,

If such a loan was not successful then, with the length of his contract as it is, we wouldn't really be in any worse a situation than we are now. It might even be that the pressure from next year's equation changes such that we could even afford sell at a loss if we wish.

Rogers is a pretty different profile to Xavi & Fermín Lopez. Those two are super technical, tidy, Pep/Barca prototypes. Whereas Rogers is all about pace, power, and athleticism. 

Plus he is technically competent, making him well equipped to play as an 8.
