Hazard Warning Signs - The Chelsea Transfer Thread

I concur. I actually find it disturbing that clubs sign players who are eight years old or younger. Baffling really.

 

I get the academy part and having U8, etc. But if this kid plays for Exeter, why is he trialing with us?

 

Tiemoue Bakayoko, 25, has agreed terms for rejoining Monaco on loan - with a £31.8m permanent switch lined up.

 

Any word on a loan fee? If it’s 5 combined with the last loan fee I think we broke even.

 

Honestly, like Drinkwater, he just needs to go. Not only for us, but really most importantly, for themselves. These two need a fresh start.

 

Had some high hopes for Bakayoko but I wish him the best.

 

I haven't seen anything official yet, but looks like a loan back to Monaco with option to buy for between 31-35m. Baka was hoping for something better than Monaco to pop up, but apparently every club in the world has television and has seen him play.

 

I hear you but unlike Drinkwater he’s young enough at 25 that he can turn it around and has flashed his potential. It would be clutch to recoup some but yes I wouldn’t stop a deal if we didn’t get to break even. Drinks is done. Anything is better than nothing at this point.

 

Rumors heating up of Bats on loan to Napoli. with us paying part of the salary and Kennedy loan or sale at an Italian shampoo company Sassuolo

 

Wow we’re gonna pay Napoli to take Bats. How far he’s fallen. But I guess it’s still saves some money and if he plays well there then we will have a better platform to sell him. That injury at Dortmund was really horrible timing.

 

So rumors are the ban might be shortened to one window. Let the terrible rumors commence, I guess. Just no Wilf Zaha, please.

 

Generally can't really get good deals in Jan. Hoping we can swing some good loan deals of we have the option.

 

Here are the names I've heard recently:

Ben Chillwell
Jose Gaya (LB, Valencia)
Moussa Dembele (Lyon)
Jadon Sancho (winger, Dortmund)
Nathan Ake
David Neres (winger, Ajax)

 

I really hope we don’t go after Chillwell or Ake; I’ve see those rumors too.
We’re going to be blown out of the water for Sancho by United most likely.
Neres is an interesting one. We’ll get to see him up close.

 

Sancho is an interesting one. He’s going to cost ludicrous money and he’s only had one good season. It’s a difficult decision, especially if United just show up with a 90mm bid after flogging Pogba to real.

 

He will cost more than 90 and he looks like he’s worth it.

 

I have heard the Sancho rumor a lot.

Gaya would be nice, but odd now with Emerson settling into that role. Right back all about Reece?

We really need more in the midfield. Barkley is an empty uniform, Kante doesn't score, nor does Kovacic. Kai Havertz would be delicious.

 

Sancho would be quite a bit of money, yes. But we have quite a bit of money. United are a huge club - some consider the biggest in the world; but are they losing some luster?

 

Sancho? Hell ya.

Havertz? Hell ya.

Some RB/CB? Hell ya.

 

With the contract CHO is about to sign, it will behoove the club to make sure he's part of the answer.

 

180k. That is a lot of an 18 year old.

 

Yea it is... too much for someone who hasn’t proven it consistently yet.
