Chelsea Transfers

[Strike 7,477]

I understand Arsenal’s logic with Ekitike (to an extent our logic with Pedro). The game is going towards a rotating fluid 4-man forward line. PSG in the Champions League and Liverpool in the Premier League both played without a power forward and with four attacking players changing positions.

While every top PL club is seemingly focusing on bringing in attackers it would be great if we try to go big for a defender now since the bulk of our attacking signings have now been made. We may be able to get an easy run at someone who we otherwise may have been competing hard with because those other clubs are preoccupied with other targets.

Who would you go for ?

Clearlake have got far more midfield, attacking signings right than they have defensive signings. Only Cucurella is a success.

I just can't see us signing a keeper now, the fact we would pay that few million more for Maignan says to me we aren't arsed

Long time left. Still have Petrovic around too

Tottenham have identified Mohammed Kudus as a PRIMARY target who are believed to be optimistic they can clinch a deal for well below his £85m release clause.

I really like Kudus but if he goes to Spurs, it’s not the end of the World. I wonder who we will go for if he does go there.

Understand João Pedro is now flying to the US in order to formally complete his move to Chelsea!

João and his agents are on the way for final part of medical tests and then deal until June 2032 will be signed.

He’ll be already available for FIFA Club World Cup.

Years ago players used to come off their fitness regimes entirely during the off season. They would eat what they want, drink what they want, smoke, and do no exercise. As a result the first couple of weeks of pre-season training was never anything to do with football. They would just work off their summer excesses. Players often spoke about how they never even saw a football for weeks in preseason training.

Nowadays things are different of course, but they do go into maintenance mode during the off season, so I'm wondering whether Pedro will actually be fit to play. Perhaps he's known for a long time that this move was on the cards and has been working accordingly.

No clue, really. 🤷‍♂️ But we definitely need at least someone to rotate with Cucu.

ofc with gittsen and pedro will not go for eze or kudus

🔵Kudus: wants Chelsea, if we don’t pay up he won’t come it’s very simple.

West Ham will not accept any swap deals.

60-65 should do the trick.. West Ham need to sale before bringing players in.

Who's reporting this?

Chelsea looking for up to 3 more 1st team incomings before priority shifts to outgoings. Could adjust numbers if a surprise sale or departure does happen. CFC have a few 'untouchables' but outside of them, high quality offers will be considered, or if players ask to leave.
