Chelsea Transfers

[Hutcho 8,443]

Could argue its not the worst thing that players wanted to stay. Not ideal but we can't have it both ways. Can't have a great window to buy and a great window to sell.

I'm sure some more will go in Jan and injuries will unfortunately probably happen

Gonna be a lot of annoyed and unhappy players now. Frank hasn't even had Alonso or Rüdiger in the 18 lately, ffs. How is there any way back for either of them now? They looked 100% certain to leave.

I imagine Tomori will still get games so it's easier to see why he decided to stay.

Think Lampard has a good relationship with each of them, despite the inconsistent individual performances. So, one can hope that they won't be **** and cause trouble behind the scenes.

West Ham loan move for Fikayo Tomori is OFF just 10 MINUTES before 11pm transfer deadline with Chelsea defender electing to stay and fight for his place at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea’s Antonio Rudiger will be staying at Stamford Bridge, reports Raphael Honigstein.

The Athletic has learned that the German defender had very positive talks with Jose Mourinho, and that Chelsea were in principle prepared to let him go to Tottenham on loan.

While initially open to the move, it is understood that Rudiger felt wary of the potential fall out from supporters for playing for one of Chelsea’s biggest rivals. The 27-year-old decided that he would be better served attempting to fight his way back into the Chelsea starting XI via a twelve-month stint abroad instead.

Approaches by AC Milan, Roma and Barcelona came to nothing due to financial constraints at all three clubs but Paris Saint-Germain manager Thomas Tuchel was very keen to bring in the former Stuttgart centre-back.

The PSG hierarchy felt they couldn’t sanction the deal, however, having failed to recoup significant sums via player sales. Tuchel already voiced his frustration with the French champions’ relative lack of spending this window a few days ago. Missing out on Rudiger will have done nothing to improve his mood.

Hasn't a big bust up between Frank and Alonso been reported? Hasn't been seen or heard from since West Brom.

yes, Lamps went ballistic on Alonso in front of the whole team because he went and sat in the bus as soon as he was pulled

and they got ito it the next day too

insane that we failed to even get either Emerson or him out on loan

and it looks like we still have Sarr too

and ow have so few wingers and CMF's

plus lack a proper DMF (Partey to Arse is killing me, at least they failed on Aouar)

Partey was the last piece to the puzzle this season (as Rice is outrageously overpriced and Zakaria cannot leave till next summer)

he would have been a huge game-changer

we really screwed the pooch the last third of the window with the failed sales, failed loans, and then no DMF (and literally the best one actually available going to one of our most hated rivals, a team who deffo will be in the top 4 battle)

Use Christensen as rotation for Kante until January and give Rüdiger minutes at cb.

Reece James was in midfield for a few minutes at the end vs Brighton. He could be the extra option

[Vesper 29,448]

partial squad breakdown (I am going off T-Markt for some very iffy players who appear to still be here)

 

GK  good move for Mendy, but not happy we failed to get Kepa out on loan

 

CB  overload

Antonio Rüdiger  
Kurt Zouma    
Andreas Christensen   
Malang Sarr    (I cannot find the confirmation on his Porto loan)
Fikayo Tomori   
Thiago Silva  

 

LB  overload

Ben Chilwell    
Emerson    
Marcos Alonso   
Abdul Rahman Baba   (he appears to not have been loaned out, hopefully this is an error)
Malang Sarr    (can play LB)

 

CMF no depth (unless you count Kante, and even with him, still light)

Mateo Kovacic   
Billy Gilmour    Injured still
Danny Drinkwater    <<<?????????

 

Mount may be uses more here I guess

 

no clue if we loaned Moses either

Did we really try to loan out Tomori? 

So Rudiger is our 4th cb. I am confused

Rudiger couldn't be loaned out, so we granted Tomori who previously asked to leave on loan his wish. Lampard wanted to keep him but we couldn't afford to keep 5 CBs at the club. Tomori seems to have had a change of heart or he didn't want to go to West Ham so the deal collapsed.

So baba rahman, Drinkwater, Moses, Van Ginkel all of them still at the club?

[coolhead23 1,146]

Overall it's has being a brilliant transfer windows specially with the kind of players we've got in. Kudos to the Board, Cech and Lampard for making things done. 

Obviously there has to be balance or law of averages, missing out on a DM is disappointing along with quite a few players which are still at the club. 

But I feel the incoming players along with the ones out on loan in PL (4 simply good) outweigh everything else.

Board has backed Lampard now it is his head on the line to make things happen.

I don't think that means he doesn't have a good relationship with them all. He's there to be their manager and not their friend so alonso needs to get in line. Pretty sure lampard has the respect of everyone in there and its gotta help when your club captain played with and under lampard on the pitch.
