Chelsea Transfers

The reason Ornstein is the best is that he isn’t in this business to be a “brand.” He never tries to make himself the story or tries to steadily build hype by tweeting a play by play of every deal. I like and respect Fabrizio but him tweeting 15 times about the Simons deal for example basically saying the same thing gets tedious.

Certain deals it just ain't worth haggling over a couple of mill over and running the risk.Maignan was one,Hato is another.

AM types are in by far the biggest talent pool in football so fair enough with them,there's always plenty of alternatives but there simply isn't with Hato. 

[Pizy 18,846]

Speaking of Ornstein btw, we never have had a tweet from him about Simons like all of the other reporters. But he has tweeted about the Hato deal. Also haven’t heard anything from Plettenberg who was the first on the Simons story in a while either.

Like I said earlier, it feels a bit fishy around that deal. Like the reporters may have jumped the gun saying how advanced or close any deal is.

These owners are fucking garbage refusing to pay money required for Hato and Simons yet get bend over like fucking losers for Gittens.

I thought that the negotiations for Gittens dragged on for ages?

I see everyone is going crazy over Rio Ngumoha after his displays for Liverpool recently… another one we let slip through the net.

Only so many “wonderkids” we can stockpile in our youth system before some of them decide they have a better pathway to the big stage elsewhere. If I recall correctly, we made a real effort to keep this kid but Liverpool must have really turned his head with the prospect of playing for their first team. 

Let’s hope this kid isn’t the next Musiala or something who slipped through our fingers.

As @Pizy said, he wanted to move. You can't really do much at that point. I still feel it's far too early to come to any conclusion whether he can be added to that list or not.

Solanke was the last youngster (of note) that joined them from us and look how that panned out.

That will be a good move for Marc that at Sunderland

I agree, if he is starting or sharing time as a starter. If they get him as a third option it would be tragic.

Because Romano listen to he is followers who keep asking for an update. This is why he reposting it

[Special Juan 28,087]

Romano and Ornstein are like chalk and cheese but I like the way both operate. One is full of information and throws it all out there, the other is to the point and random.

Years ago you never knew about transfers until you either picked up a paper or put on Teletext, we are spoilt now a days

His situation is no different to George.
 

Liverpool are still looking for another LW so that will be 2 players ahead of Rio. Just like Gittens and Neto are ahead of George. 
 

Both will likely leave on loan or get cup scrap minutes. 

[Pizy 18,846]

So United formally moving for Sesko now. A situation that I hope doesn’t fuck over our move for Simons. Don’t want Leipzig to do what Brentford are currently doing with Wissa after they sold Mbeumo and not want to lose both. This scenario is why I had hoped we would’ve had it wrapped up by now.

As for Sesko to United, I’m actually glad he’s the striker they’ve chosen. I think he’ll be no better than Hojlund. He’s gonna flop for them at least in his first season. I think they would look FAR more dangerous with Ollie Watkins leading their line. Or even Jackson.

Simons has 2 years left and asked Leipzig to leave, he is leaving for sure. I think this suits us best, Newcastle missing out on him means they will go for Jackson.

George is 19, Ngumoha turns 17 in a month's time. The latter has time on his side and with Chiesa & Diaz going, he'll have far more chance of breaking into their PL squad and possibly more. I believe George will find it much harder to get gametime this season without the Conference League unless Gittens proves to be a bust (I really hope not).

Gakpo is Slot’s preference at LW and they are looking to bring in another LW per Paul Joyce.

Don’t agree that he has a better chance.

I guess we'll see at the end of the season should both players remain that their respective clubs.
