Hazard Warning Signs - The Chelsea Transfer Thread

Rumors that both Barca and Athletico want Willian for around 35 million, whether he re-ups or not no way can we let him go with ban.

 

Eh I think it’s less about the ban (tho it doesn’t help) and more about Cho being hurt and Pulisic being new to the league. If we had a healthy Cho, Pulisic and Pedro I’d be open to cashing in and would consider it. It also depends on who our manager is. If we’re playing a 4-3-3 yes that would leave us low on depth. But I’m good on Willian and his bad attitude. He isn’t a lock starter. He’s inconsistent and he pouts when he comes off. We should have sold him last summer. Time is bad right now tho with ban, Cho injury and Pulisic new to the league.

 

a wee bit of insight on where started and are now under Roman:

"On the Chelsea coach back from Old Trafford one evening in the early 2000s, Gianfranco Zola started up a conversation about whether the players should all chip in and buy some lightweight goals that could be wheeled on to the pitches at their Harlington training ground, matching the ones Manchester United had. As it was, about a dozen players had to lug the partially rusting iron monstrosities to either end of the windy pitches on the strip of land sandwiched between the M4 motorway and Heathrow Airport they called home."

Also the press and so many act like we will be a 11 man u-21 team next year with the ban, but though Costa and Hazard are huge misses we still have most of the player core that won the League and an FA Cup the next year and got us 3rd and a Cup this year, and at least 8 or 9 or more of that core might start the first few and Jorginho might not have been here for that but he is plenty experienced.

Pulisac and possibly Abraham if he has great summer are really the only young-ens likely to play early til the injured trio are ready to fight for spots. Though I hope and think Mount and 1 or 2 may start to get blooded in the fall here and there.

 

I would rather sell Pedro, but nobody is trying to buy him.

 

Chelsea's 19-year-old English striker Martell Taylor-Crossdale is having a medical ahead of a permanent move to Hoffenheim.

Is there any point in having this thread anymore? We are not allowed to buy anyone anyways AND Nobody is listening to us. We’re not impacting the process, we're just talking. Talking. Words in a meaningless universe. Who are "we" anyways? Why are we here? Everything is so futile. Modern football is an existential mindfcuck for the earnest supporter.

 

Danny Drink water has still NOT been sold. wtf!!!???

 

Matt Miazga is turning 24 next month. He has been at Chelsea for 3 years. He has 3 years left on his contract. His never realistically going to play first team fitba at Chelsea now is he?

 

Two way street man. We got to find someone who wants to buy him and pay him.

 

He never was when he was bought. He was bought to loan and sell. He’s prob got 1 more loan year followed by a sale.

 

It 100% means that. He could have left any time last year but the talk was he didn’t want to lower his wages. It’s one of the harsher sides of the business but if he won’t budge on it... I would send him home and not have him train first team. Maybe youth. But there’s no space for him and he can decide if he wants to waste his career on a contract and no PT or if he’s willing to take less and play. But he has no business in our side anymore.

 

No doubt and I don’t blame him. Id likely do the same. But I would send him to the kids. He wants to make a business decision for himself and I understand that buts got to understand we need to do the same.

 

I assume this is referencing my post in the manager thread, but is that a particularly shocking take? Are there really people on these board that think Chelsea is lurking, trying to figure out what to do?

 

I jest. I jest Jim. All opinions are futile. But I actually like the opinions of others, even the ones I disagree with. Apparently there are even people here who disagree with me

Today the lurkers will read in the meeja that Jorghino is open to joining Sarri at Juve. The mysticism continues further and suggests the A Christensen who was going to leave, now wants to stay. Neymar has been looking at houses in L-L-LAh-Lahnd. . Barcelona

 

I agree with this. Sorta lazy journalism - let's link Sarri to every player who has played under him type stuff.

Kinda like if Lampard was our manager he'd bring in guys like Cech, Makelele, Morris, Drogb....wait.

 

Everton have opened talks with Chelsea about signing Kurt Zouma on a permanent deal. He never fully recovered from that injury. We have Fikayo Tomori back now I guess. Tomori was Derby's player of the year and he looks great on the ball. He enjoys playing football. He will be like a great new signing.

What we don't have is a striker. Other than Giroud.

 

Hey look Tomori has a highlights reel on THE you tube . . . I have really enjoyed watching him this season. He's a very composed young lad.

 

Internazionale would like to sign Romelu Lukaku this summer but would have to offload Mauro Icardi first to have any chance of financing the deal.

It will be interesting to see where Icardi goes. One of the players associated with a Chelsea move, but y'know, that whole ban thing.

 

Reckon Frank will keep Kovacic?

Currently in midfield we have -

Kante,Jorginho,Drinkwater,RLC, Barkley,Bakayoko,Van Ginkel, Mount
