6 international loan slots to use: 4 used, 2 slots remaining.

Đorđe Petrović: Strasbourg
Aaron Anselmino: Boca Juniors
Caleb Wiley: Strasbourg
Andrey Santos: Strasbourg

You sure Anselmino counts as loan and not as future transfer like Penders?

EDIT: ok, official site claims it's loan

Chelsea's development strategy is to ensure the international loan spots are used to develop players. 

The Petrovic one could be judged either way: as moving an unwanted player or developing a talent (or both). 

Interesting to see how the last two overseas loans are used.

 

(Nizaar Kinsella)

Will be interesting to see where Washington ends up...was expecting him to get an international loan as staying with U-21's doesn't help his development at all.

Vomit inducing. 

Toney is so damn average. Going to be a Demba Ba type signing but 50x worse in terms of cost. 

Take your pick: Toney or DCL 😆

Saudi bid for Toney I believe, if so, why hasn't it been accepted? Is it him and his camp holding off and have been told to do so by us.

RB Leipzig are making a loan offer, with an OBLIGATORY purchase clause of 25 million euros, to Benfica for António Silva, reports @maisfutebol.
The Eagles are evaluating the German offer.

25m for antonio Silva? What are they smoking. 
Meanwhile we are rumoured to bid for his worse and older colleague Araujo…

IF that goes through (and I do not see how it could, that's a 75 per cent slashing of his release clause) I am going to fucking LOSE MY MIND

we could have had

Mamardashvilli for £25m last season

J David for around £20m this season

and now, IF this goes through, Antonio Silva for £21m

total for all 3

£66m

around the same cash for those 3 for just what we spend on CuCu

or around £10m LESS than what we dropped on just Fofana

or £22m LESS than we have spent on GKers so far over the last 2 seasons

insanity

I wouldn’t be shocked at all if our “Hollywood” ownership intentionally saved something for the final day to make a splash whilst most other big clubs are quiet. But leaving maybe the final piece to our team (a top class #9) until the last minute seems so unnecessarily dumb.

I need this knowledge to be posted with confidence, no conspiracy tone lol. 
Re initial announcements and takeover plans. We have today the most PR-thinking club. It’s clear they already brief fans of poor options to make average options seem like even better ones. Been going on a while. They’re tending to fan psychology, seeing the fanbase as a person, to keep feeding the right way at the right time to sustain loyalty, via emotion. Via other means, over the years, since the takeover. Its how they roll, and what the type of fan they’ve identified as their primary fan, laps up.

Sounds like saving a toast with ham for a grande finale of cooking show-off. 

Feels like 5th or so season when looking for the striker is trying to splurge for somewhat decent-ish of all the not convincing ones. Our cb's and gk are shaky at best, doubt that additional 5-7 goals per season will compensate for it. 

Yes simply
