As infuriating as he is, selling Nico Jackson would be extremely stupid. Having him as a rotation option is the perfect role for him. Or as someone who comes on if we really need a goal and can play together with whichever new striker we sign. Or even used as an emergency wide player. He’s still very useful just not as the main guy.

New #9, Jackson as the backup, and Guiu as the youngster who develops in the lesser competitions. This is the kind of depth we need.

why do you think he would be ok with not being a starter anymore.

i would rather sell him the chance we get because he strikes me as a guy who would be a pain in the ass if he doesnt get what he wants.

If Huijsen was any other nationality I wonder if Real Madrid would even have known about him. Just doesn’t seem right seeing a guy go from tiny English side where he has been very promising but not elite straight to the biggest club in the world. I thought for sure he’d do a stopover for 3 years somewhere and then go to Madrid if he develops well. But I guess you can’t possibly turn this move down as a Spaniard when they really want you.

Him already saying his ultimate dream is to play for Madrid months ago means that whichever PL club may have landed him would’ve been instantly on the countdown timer until they started tapping him up and he asked to go. So it’s a blessing in disguise that this didn’t happen. CB is one of the last positions in the team where you get a top player established for a couple of years and then he forces himself out. Too difficult to find top ones.

As for Murillo who some keep mentioning, he literally just signed a new deal a couple of months ago, right? An ambitious club like Forest coming off their best season in decades wouldn’t even consider selling him for under £100m. No chance we can get him.

𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: Real Madrid-Bournemouth have reached club to club agreement for Dean Huijsen, £50m clause to be paid by end of 2026

Shame for sure, but he's not the only decent CB in the world. We have to move earlier to buy and lock down players like that (in January perhaps, like we did with Enzo before the other clubs circulated).

Huijsen is gone, he is signing for Madrid, time to forget about him. Madrid have got their man and will pay in 3 payments

Wirtz could go to Liverpool or City, both wanting a very talented player, while we do nothing.

We will not get rid of Sanchez, him and Jorgensen will still be here next season

This summer already gives vibes of another garbage summer. Look at what others are doing and trying for...Wirtz Liverpool/City...Reijnders City, 

Shamble

Be case of drag feet then panic buy. If we dont get CL obs be a lot harder. Know other clubs have gone without and attracted but we don't seem to have any sort of attraction other then prob pay stupid wages

[MoroccanBlue 5,379]

Think even that Everton CB is better tbh

[MoroccanBlue 5,379]

You can laugh but I think Hujsen is incredibly overrated.

I’m 10x more interested and excited about players we already have on our books coming in with Estevão & Andrey Santos than I am about new signings. 

You have to admit it's a bit contradictory to say you don't believe in the club's approach to recruitment and that, instead, you're excited about players who were signed precisely because of that approach.

Both Eze & Roger’s are so integral and important to Palace and Villa that I just cannot picture them being available. Not for anything under an absurd sum like £80m+

Eze, I would be really happy with. I think he is a top, top player. Is good on either foot. Excellent strength/balance, good striking ability as seen with some of his goals from long range and also creative too. Also at a good age too and defo would add creativity and hopefully goals. Also think there may be a gentleman's agreement for Palace to let him go if a bigger club comes calling. Similar to what happened with Olise last season, Eze was also linked with moving, however stayed for this season, however would not be surprised if he now gets his move this season as you could say he deserves a bigger move. I have seen City linked with MGW. I am surprised they aren't in for Eze who would suit that no.10 role for them big time. Also think Palace will let him go at a 'reasonable' fee due to his loyalty to Palace over the years.

Rogers, I am sure is just rumours. He will be a Villa player next season s he is key for their future and would cost way too much money.

Chelsea prepared to sell every player apart from Palmer and Caicedo as Blues face big financial hit

https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/2055316/Chelsea-transfer-news-cole-palmer

Chelsea are reportedly willing to consider offers for all but two of their stars in a potential rebuild this summer. The Blues do not want to risk ‘unrest’ when a large squad gathers for pre-season training at Cobham for the start of the 2025-26 season.

Despite trimming their first-team ranks over the last couple of years, Enzo Maresca still oversees a large group of players. That will be bolstered further by the return of at least 12 loanees, in addition to any new signings. Chelsea are expected to be busy in the summer transfer window, with a new centre-forward reportedly high on their agenda.

According to the BBC, only Cole Palmer and Moises Caicedo are completely safe from the chop. Palmer, Chelsea’s best player for the past two seasons, recently signed a bumper contract extension until 2033. Caicedo has reported interest from Saudi Arabia but Chelsea do not want to sell the midfielder. He was a British-record £115million signing from Brighton two years ago.

Offers could reportedly be considered for several other stars. However, there are some players for whom Chelsea will only accept astronomical fees. That is the case for Enzo Fernandez, who has interest from Real Madrid. It is claimed that the Spanish side will need to trump the £107m Chelsea paid to sign the Argentine from Benfica in 2023. Defender Trevoh Chalobah is said to be one of the players who could be sold. He was recalled from his loan spell at Crystal Palace in January, but he will likely only be a back-up option next season.

I doubt he accepts a squad role after being guaranteed starter.

Jackson just needs selling to raise more cash for what should be a top quality striker.

But the outlook you can hear from this board....he will be one year older and one year wiser

[Special Juan 28,133]

Hujsen's people are now in Madrid, the deal is done

Bid coming from City to Milan for Reijnders

[chelsea_4_eva 1,182]

It's laughable that we have spent BILLIONS and this is our squad..
