Chelsea Transfers

[BlueLyon 9,359]

How tf can we even afford all these deals?

We already bought Werner and Ziyech, Kai soon. Yet we are still "seriously" linked with GK, CB, DM, LB...

Either the press is just throwing fake news or we just dont give a f about ffp anymore 

[OneMoSalah 8,619]

On Ben White: Dont think we should go for him.

Think hes got good potential but looking very good in the championship is one thing, lets see how he gets on in the PL this season before spunking 40mn on him. 

A more experienced, top level CB who is in the 24-27 years age bracket would make more sense.

Player sales will have to fund much of it. Werner, Ziyech, and Havertz is mostly funded by the Hazard, Morata, and Pasalic sales. If we can get some suckers to take Emerson, Bakayoko, Batshuayi, and Barkley off our hands that's another nice chunk of change. Plus, Willian and Pedro were on sizeable wages which are now off our books.

And that's not even taking into account the budget that is already set aside for transfers.

Yes but Werner, Kai and Ziyech cost around 150m.

Then we are linked with top GK like Oblak who costst 110m, CBs for 50m, Chilwell for 80m, Rice for whatever price WHu demands, it sure wont be cheap. All of these combined cost at least 300m on top of those 150m. 

Its obvious it will never happen, I just want to point out that it looks like we are seriously linked to these players, suggesting Lamps realy wants them. But its impossible we get all, so media is likely just taking advantage of the fact we are spending alot and we are shit defensively, hence we need reinforcements and they link us to all defenders out  there, stating Lamps realy likes them. 

Its bunch of baloney. 

Even the not so expensive options like Onana for 30m, Reguilon for 30m, Rice for 60m and CB for lets say 50m total to whopping 170m. 

I just dont buy it we actualy want to bring in new GK, CB, LB and Rice. 

Money wise, it would be possible if we sold all of deadweight you said + Jorgi, but its just not happening in single summer IMO.  And now Sarri is gone from Juve, they aint buying Jorgi anyway.

I think Rice is the CB that we are looking at.

Don't think that would be inconceivable. 

Kai - 80m€

Werner - 50m€

Ziyech - 40m€

Reguilon - 25m€

Onana - 30m€

Rice - 70m€

Total 295/300m€

 

Outs - 

Morata - 56m€

Pasalic - 15m€

Nathan - 3m€

Bakayoko - 20m€

Barkley - 25m€

Michy - 20m€

Emerson - 20m€

Rudiger/zouma/AC - 30m€

Baker, brown, kenedy, Drinkwater, baba, zappacosta etc - 20m€

Total ~ 200/210m€

Given that we did not spend a single buck in last 2 Windows, our transfer budget should be around 100m€. Which makes sense.

[Styl1994 188]

In a ideal world

Sell/Loan Arrizabalaga sign Onana 
Move Caballero down to third choice sign Foster 
Loan Cummings 
Right Back fine 
Center Back no Elite option out there really don’t know what to do
Left back sell Emerson sign Reguilón
Center Midfield sell Jorginho, Barkley sign Rice, Havertz, might have to keep Gallagher if Loftus-Cheek keeps getting injured every five minutes. 
Wingers look for a decent winger to give us some extra cover with Willian leaving 
Striker completely fine with Werner, Abraham and Giroud

Yeah, it would be ideal if he stayed at Brighton for another year and get consistent top flight football

Looks like an absolute tank. Huge, quick and good on the ball. Also appears like he can play right back as well albeit he would be wasted there. Can’t wait to see a player like him in the first team but there have been quite a few towering cbs in our development teams in the early 2010s and none made a breakthrough

We probably will make just one more signing possible.

GK and LB possibly. Still think we may get Dunk as well.

We paid 40m for Kovacic.

Fair, but the whole kovacic deal was offset by aina (10m€), kalas (9m€), Luiz (8m€), omeruo (5m€) and hector (5m€), not to forget angban - 6m€, palmer - 3m€, lamptey - 3m€, deshawn - 2m€ and da silva - 2m€.

On top of it, hazard. I mean 100m€ would be a very fair budget.

I can't remember a time we sold a player for 100 million.

Pulisic cost 70 million.

That was accounted for the 2019 books. 

[Superblue 6,333]

Too many factors and variables but based on a simplistic overview i'm pretty sure we made around £170m net transfer profit last summer after the purchase of Kovacic.

So there is a real possibility that the deals of Werner, Ziyech and Havertz are covered by this. There may be some 'budget' too for last and this summer which may get us another player or two and anything beyond this will be funded through sales.
