Chelsea Transfers

[MoroccanBlue 5,380]

Can we trust Tosin, Colwill, Disasi & Veiga to hold strong during this festive period?

[Mário César 1,250]

Cucurella red card was so dumb

[mkh 577]

💬Enzo Maresca wants Marc Guiu, Josh Acheampong and Tyrique George to stay at Chelsea in January rather than sending 18yo trio away on loan for more regular minutes.🗯

Musiala much like Olise would've been straight up overkill. 

I was all in on the potential signing of Olise. Are you saying you felt it would have been overkill at that time, or that the later signings of Neto and Sancho would have made it overkill?

I don't think anyone can doubt Musiala's technical level, or that our squad will need further upgrades whether or not we qualify for next season's Champions League. The issue is that it is claimed neither Estavao nor Paez will be loaned out, and we clearly are not finishing lower than 14th so will be obligated to make Sancho's move permanent. Even if we can persuade Musiala to rejoin, what would be the plan for him and all the rest?

Is it realistic to go with; Musiala and Sancho covering the left, Palmer and Estavao through the middle, Neto and Paez doing duty on the right, while Mudryck and Mads are sold? I'm not convinced that this keeps everyone happy, and nor am I convinced that Musiala would return anyway.

Maresca says Fofana and Badiashile will be out for a “long🗯 period” (via@TheAthleticFC)

Hard to take these news seriously.. For many years now have been reading how Barca are in financial trouble, still they sign 60 million players. News also say they will not be able to register X and Y, still they always register everyone. Now Olmo is not registered, still he plays. Are these rules even applied to Barca? They will not lose anyone on free.

Mudryk isn't being sold anywhere with the incoming ban and it would be stupid for the club to rely on a youngster with zero PL experience to be the backup RW option. 

I would have thought: Sancho on the left, Palmer/Nkunku/Felix through the middle, Neto and the Brazilian kid on the right.

I like Guiu's energy up front and for a raw player, has the skills you want to see in a young striker. 

[Pizy 18,893]

If we feel the need to go in for a CB next month I just hope we go all in for our very top choice and someone who we feel is or will be world class. Bringing in yet another average or slightly above average CB when we already have a bunch just because we need another body would be so dumb.

No more Disasi’s or Badiashile’s. Get someone you feel can be the unquestioned partner for Colwill long term.

As I mentioned during the Shamrock game, he could be a really useful player to bring on late in games against tired legs for the reason you mentioned.

Scouting report: best performing young players

Thanks to the collaboration with Wyscout, the CIES Football Observatory has developed a robust and innovative method for comparing player performance. This report presents the footballers from 65 leagues around the world born in 2004 or later with the best performance index in the current or last completed season for the leagues alredy finished. The performance index used to establish rankings is calculated on a 100-basis from player activity in six areas of the game: ground defence, aerial play, distribution, chance creation, take on and finishing. This other study details the methodology exclusively developed to measure performance in each of these areas. The scouting report presents the 20 best performing young footballers for 20 categories defined according to players’ main position and technical characteristics. For each player, we alspo present his estimated transfer value according to the exclusive CIES Football Observatory statistical model. At the top of the list in their respective categories are: Goalkeepers: Guillaume Restes (Toulouse) and Rome Jayden Owusu-Oduro (AZ Alkmaar). Centre backs: Abdukodir Khusanov (Lens), Pau Cubarsí (Barcelona) and Taras Mykhavko (Dynamo Kyiv). Full/wing backs: Jorrel Hato (Ajax), Malick Diouf (Slavia Prague), Oliver Braude (Heerenveen), Martim Fernandes (Porto) and Geovany Quenda (Sporting CP). Midfielders: Warren Zäire-Emery (Paris St-Germain), Aleksandar Pavlović (Bayern Munich), João Neves (Paris St-Germain), Kendry Paez (Independente del Valle) and Aleksey Batrakov (Lokomotiv Moskow). Wingers: Kenan Yildiz (Juventus), Thiago Fernández (Vélez Sarsfield), Lamine Yamal (Barcelona) and Arda Güler (Real Madrid). Centre forwards: Samu Aghehowa (Porto) and Kauã Elias (Fluminense). >>> Top 20s per category (update if the file is not displayed)

Bugger that - if Nkunku and Mudryk want to go - give me Morgan Rogers. 

Can play on that left, and up top if we need as well. What a player.

At this point, just get a list of former City youth players. We already have a few on the books and been linked with a number of others.
