Chelsea Transfers

[Thor 2,693]

Proper team under Roman, but we weren't competitive in the league since 2017... Won a CL with a good run, and that was a bandaid to a downfall that was happening for a long period. Look at the signings in the 5 years prior to Clearlake and tell me all the good signings.

I think this deal is dead and we have one hell of a headache on our hands. He’ll probably now refuse any other move after this long, embarrassing saga and just let his contract run down. And at this point I wouldn’t blame him whatsoever for doing so. 

He'll just play reserves/U-21 football for a season and then go on a free.

can someone remind me, why do we have to buy a player from atletico for the gallagher transfer to go through? is it because they dont have enough money for his transfer alone? if so, they are a bigger joke than us.

It’s obviously a play by them. They calculate that we are so desperate to still get a fee for Conor after he kept rejecting contract offers from us and teams like villa  that we will take one of their failbogs in exchange. They probably are right. Bc conor is pure profit we can’t really afford to lose him on a free

Yeah, it did look like we were so desperate for the FFP money we were willing to take a player from them at a vastly inflated rate. He obviously doesn't have much of a market as otherwise someone else would've been in for him (Samu).

But who does he play ahead of? He more than likely doesn’t play ahead of Lavia, Enzo, KDH & Caicedo and 2 of those will be 2 of our MF 3 with Nkunku/Cole. So he will not play regularly. Also not to mention if Gallagher deal collapses. 

Then there is Santos who is on loan, is he not part of the long term plan or is he now another dud 😂? And Casadei? And Veiga can apparently play as a 6 also.

Don’t see him playing regularly at all. So should just sell. Maybe loan. Was a pointless signing in first place - should have went to the sister club in France.

We need to clear space and whilst he can be registered as a u21, if he is rarely going to be involved, why bother?

a loan is fine

Great start of the season with this idiot again.

wtf!

fuck that fucking cunt

I am seriously triggered now

£50m for Felix - no thanks. Ridiculous if we make such a deal. Nobody else actually wants him what does that tell you? But Scatter Gun FC probably will probably end up signing him.

The £50m thing sounds like bullshit to me. There’s no chance we pay that much.

Deal seems all but dead anyways.

Permanent makes more sense. I don’t think with Caicedo & Lavia he has a realistic long term future here. Barring a very very spectacular development.

@Pizy lets hope so. Paying £50m for someone they don’t want and wouldn’t have a clear and obvious role in our team here is a stupid move on all accounts.

Think we would get him for 42m as reported day before but yeah looks dead, they don't seem that interested.

Well that isn't what it will be credited as. 

If we buy him for £50m on a 5 year contract and sell Gallagher It will either be: 

+£27m on the books. 

Or if both deals fall through: 

£0 on the books. 

The board apprantly look at this deal through this lens. £42m and £50m make little difference as the key for them is selling Gallagher. 

BTW, I do not agree with this, just pointing it our.

Enzo needs to buck his ideas up. His place could become very much in danger if he has another dross season this year. He is not living up to even half of the price we paid for him. Caicedo has shown a lot more than what he has. Lavia has looked very sharp in pre-season. Enzo needs to do more or the likes of Ugo would need to be tested in that midfield instead.

And I wouldn't even blame the guy tbh. He had nothing to warrant his pricetag in the beginning, our owners getting carried away (initial offer was like 1/3 less and it was attractive offer) and a lot of fans going absolutely apeshit with him being future captain and better Fabregas for next 10 years to come isn't really Enzo's fault. This kind of pressure is what snubs young players more often, than helps them grow.
