Chelsea Transfers

[Styl1994 188]

If kounde happens Sarr heads out on loan and Zouma probably leaves meaning there will be plenty of game time also probably means James will mainly be used at RB/RWB Sevilla also seem to be open to player swaps so I wonder could a player like Kenedy bring the fee down.

Also after 70m euros for Kounde cannot see us dropping fortune on Haaland.

Yea. Wouldn't be surprised if the timing is linked, and Dortmund have made it clear they're not selling Haaland this year so the club are starting to use the 'war chest' on other areas instead. Maybe by early August we'll also start hearing some news about the midfield situation as well, assuming Tuchel isn't planning to use one of the loan army there as backup instead.

But I am surprised by this.

All of our CBs can play RCB.

Silva and Chris in the middle.

And on the left we only used Rudi and Zouma who could leave now. But I am sure TT knows what he is doing.

For a back three to work long term it needs a concerted fullback there for balance purposes.

I am still not giving up

Aside from his size isn't Koundé supposed to be really good?

He's also taller than Reece James 

no he is not

Zouma is the same height as Rudiger

the difference between Zouma and Bats (shown in thus pic) is only 2cm greater than between Reece and Kounde, let alone the difference between Kounde and Rudiger/Zouma (a full 12cms)

Guehi and Tomori cover most of the Kounde deal. And if Zouma is out we are in plus.

La Liga is NOT the big air game that the EPL is

so many times Azpi (the same height as Kounde) has had crosses that have beaten him in the air

Fabrizio hasn't mentioned the price for Kounde. Man City bid 55m euros last year and it was rejected, contract is till 2024.

This is 50m on a position we don't necessarily need to strengthen.

£50m?

his release clause is €80m (£69m)

Monchi is pissed that the club said they might drop his price by €5-10m

also, be forewarned

he is another 'My dream and my first choice has always been Real Madrid' lad

what is the problem? we know how the system works... every top player has the dream to play in RM... c'est la vie

[ZAPHOD2319 4,481]

Those RM dreams could also be changed if RM is not at the top. Carlos ahead of the rest of the top teams seems rather unlikely. Carlos seems more like a caretaker for a year or two. Then the real rebuild starts.

lol, the top 8 market value transfers have all went for far less than their value, some massively so, some on frees

 

Ligue 1 and many Italian clubs are in financial meltdowns

super players are rock bottom bargain basement prices

and here we are going to potentially (and are willing to do so) pay just insane amounts MORE than market value on most all of our supposed targets who have been linked a tonne

Håland

Lukaku

Rice

Chiesa

Hakimi (failed)

Grealish

Kounde

Thomas Tuchel has told #Chelsea’s board that he wants another central midfielder. He is determined to build a squad capable of challenging for the Premier League title and the German also believes he needs more options on the right flank. (Guardian)

What would you say is a "good fee" for Kounde?
