Hazard Warning Signs - The Chelsea Transfer Thread

It’s a business sometimes things aren’t personal and it sucks to get caught up in it but it happens. He will get a large raise either way.

 

City really need Ake. LOL.

 

Right. He’d be nothing more than rotation there. Either way he’s getting that pay raise.

 

I think Ake will soon start for City, he is quality, never should have been sold , and is exponentially better than Stones, better than Otamendi as well, and with Kompany gone they really need 2 or 3 CB's. Sell them Luiz for a chunk and keep Zouma

Well we can't re-buy and re-register him, any one know if we can re-buy and let him continue loan there or loan him elsewhere?

 

I’m not 100 but I believe we can buy and loan because they’d be registered to the other team.

 

You may be right but I thought when we sold Costa to Atletico during their ban he was given the permission to go out on loan he just chose not to.

 

Morata to Atletico official

 

Marina is not a footballing person but she is probably the best negotiator around. Atletico were trying to play cute but she shut them down pretty quickly and got what she wanted.

 

No doubt. But at times her negotiations can be dragged out and cost us as well. I think we’d be served better if we had a good cop bad cop to compliment her. She gets final say but teams are ready for trench warfare with her.

 

Higuain off the books
Morata off the books (with 48m in the bank)
Hazard off the books

RLC re-signs with Mount and CHO close behind. I wonder what our wages look like now.

Who cares though.

 

Okay, so with the transfer ban, this entire thread is somewhat moot. So. If you had a time machine and you could go back over the last 20 years or so and pick any player from any team to slot into our current team who would it be?

I'd take Ronaldinho to replace the outgoing Hazard.

 

Drogs, since Lamp has to Coach and we most desperately need a striker; Xavi and Yaya in their peak primes get honorable mentions. Ronaldinho sublime but does not play any D and everybody on my team has too, and we would have to lock up our booze and daughters...

 

We can buy but cannot register. You either sit them or loan them out to some other club.

 

Can't we agree a fee and buy the player but with an in effect date of when we're able to sign players? That avoids the registration issue and loan aspect. And keeps both clubs happy.

 

Interesting. I didn't know that. But it makes sense to have it that way.

 

Manchester United have contacted Chelsea about a potential deal for Tiemoue Bakayoko while Arsenal are also interested. United who are most likely losing Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic this summer. See Baka as a potential replacement apparently and if "Fat" Frank see's Baka as surplus to requirements . . .

 

Really hope this is true.

 

I thought we learned our lesson with selling to rivals. Bako can go if it’s anyone outside of the top 6 in England. I know he hasn’t been good enough but last thing we need is him putting it together with Man U.

 

Yep, but Matic and Mata were sold to Man U and it wasn't too painful to lose them. Buying from United has never been great for us though. Veron. Although Marital might do well for us.

Players we sold that turned round to bite us in the arse include KDB and Salah. Most players we have sold don't come back to haunt us.

 

After Mata and Matic, not too bothered about United. Also, I have never been impressed with Baka, even at Monaco.

 

Think it'd be incredibly shortsighted to not let Frank give him a proper look before any kind of decision gets made with regards to a transfer, especially given our ban.
