Hazard Warning Signs - The Chelsea Transfer Thread

You guys are gonna be absolute beast next season. Any thoughts that Lampard will win the PL next season?

 

So we have a ST, Winger/CAM so far this window. Now we just need a LB.

Álex Grimaldo or Angeliño?

 

We need a few more pieces and some growth from the youngsters. Def a step in the right direction

 

Yeah but Chelsea as far as the future goes, they are pretty set

 

The Athletic reporting that Liverpool turned down the opportunity to sign Werner due to financial issues. A lot of clubs in the same boat. Werner's release clause goes down next year and the year after and Leipzig wanted to capitalize now.

Peanuts.

Winger now becomes a more important area for me. With Willian and Pedro likely out the door, we only ave Pulisic there. Ziyech has played winger, yes, but he's not really a winger. At Ajax, he's given plenty of license. Callum has shown flashes, but he's not nearly good enough week in and out for me. Plus, there are his legal issues.

Then there is the question of Kante. Though we've shown well in plenty of games without him, I think there is an issue there. I hope Gilmour can be consistent - he has been so far.

Left back - eh. Chillwell doesn't jazz me so much. I think Alonso is fine until we can get someone elite. Left back a hard spot, though.

 

Looking at Werner's stats are somewhat mouthwatering.

However, the marked difference between his time at Stuttgart and Leipzig is pretty extreme.

At Stuttgart (aged 18-20) he appeared in 103 matches with only 14 goals.
At Leipzig (aged 20-24), he has literally exploded. 92 goals in 104 appearances.
(included cups and European comp)

I've been watching him more closely since Bundesliga returned a few weeks ago and what I've noticed:

-his speed is remarkable. he'll pull players with him and create space
-positioning around the goal
-skill with his feet
-despite his size, doesn't care much for aerial duels

His ability to be in the right spot and make the goalscoring look easy reminds me a little of Costa. He was able to slide so many goals home when just given inches.

 

Tammy certainly isn't any of them (yet) but this is true.

I think the thought is that there are some reservations around if he is going to be all that great. I'm not really a believer just yet. He did well for himself but we'll see if can continue scoring.

 

Looks like we’re after Chillwell now. We still have roughly 50 mill left of the return on Hazard and Morata after Wener and Ziyech. Should def get that LB whether or not it’s Chillwell.

 

With Timo going to Chelsea...I wonder if Chelsea decide to swap any players and get players via those swaps

 

Jamie Redknapp has claimed Timo Werner must make Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp regret missing out on his signature when he finalises his move Chelsea

Chelsea have seemingly won the race to sign the brilliantly gifted German in the summer window after news broke that they have agreed a five-year deal worth around £175,000-a-week to bring him to the Premier League.

That is despite the fact that Werner was desperate to make the move to Liverpool but since the Reds have been holding off on a possible deal, Chelsea fans are getting excited about seeing him at the club next season.

And reacting to the rumours, ex-Liverpool midfielder Redknapp told football.london: ‘It’s a great signing.

 

Timo on tv now, he going to be fun (nice assist)

Defense who needs a stinking Defense, solves the Kepa issue

 

Not sure Werner is a done deal.

 

It's all but done.

 

I've been hearing 'mixed' reports, it's making me feel 'edgy' I do hope you're right.

 

Exactly this and their executive isn't going to say he was sold the day of their match. Everyone is reporting he's agreed and that Chelsea will pay his buyout.

 

He certainly had his injury issues this season, however he’s nearly 4 years younger than Makélélé was when he joined us. It would be nice to move Jorginho on and play Kante at his best position. It would also help with our tendency to ship goals.

Unfortunately I think Frank is looking at a 4-2-3-1 instead of a 4-3-3.

 

With Timo, and hopefully Tammy staying, Timo is best in a 433/343/442.

Could see us playing a 41212 as well.

 

Looks like we’re asking 40 for Michy... that ain’t happening but if we can land 20-30 I’d take it and call it a day. That combine with the loan fees we’ve made off him should see the initial price paid come out to a wash.

 

Thiago Silva will be a free agent. Paris won't re-sign.

36, still a very good defender, but I don't see us going for him.

 

Hard pass. I can arsenal going after him tho.

 

Chelsea still in on Kai
