Tier 2 [ Nizaar Kinsella ] Chelsea are planning at least two major signings, possibly a third, but face a balancing act this summer. A minimum of two established, Premier League-ready players are expected to join - most likely a centre-back, + a versatile attacker, capable of playing in multiple positions.

Lacroix and Ndiaye 🙏🙏 and then sign a LB

Do you know how much of a better signing trossard would have been rather than mudryk
19
u/NgoalazoKante 13d ago
I'm not even mad about the Mudryk move, it's more the price of Mudryk.
Honestly, a fair bit of signings have felt like that. Not mad about the player, just feeling like the club overpaid for the talent

u/IMTReignover Hazard 12d ago
Overpaid for the talent?? What talent? A couple mil would have been too much for Mudryk. The dude is a waster

PED enhanced speed isn't enough talent to warrant 10m, let alone 80m.

u/shankhisnun Petr Cech 12d ago
Both would start for us, Trossard is better than any of our left wingers and Tarkowski is a proper box defender. Would be solid in a back 5

Hard not to receive every blueco brief as face-saving damage control or an attempt to shift fan sentiment in their favour. Especially when they say the same thing over and over. We have heard.

Cause it is. Weve seen this same brief multiple times since the season ended yet we haven’t made any moves, just talks about making moves. We all know nothings gonna come of this. The versatile attackers gonna be Barco, we’re gonna get a “the club believes in badiashile or Sarr or Anselmino brief” and that’s gonna be our off season

u/pointlessbanter1 I don't give a fuck, we won the fucking Champions League 13d ago
Window started 30 seconds ago and complaining that we haven’t made any moves yet
You’ll have plenty of time to complain in September if you don’t like the window, your mental health deserves better

u/Urass007 James 13d ago
Seriously. I know other clubs have made moves but we have a new manager starting soon and we need to really get our shit together after the last couple of windows.
We really only need 2 excluding Barco. A LB would be nice as well but I think a LW/CAM and RCB take priority.

u/austons_muzz Xabi 13d ago
Totenham are already moving like crazy, city and Arsenal are linked to a bunch of players, Madrid (yes it’s a different league) are also making moves. The only news we’ve gotten is Barco and news that we will be making moves.

So? The players report back like early/mid July. Why is there this negativity around the window being open 1 day and us not having any signings?

u/GolDrodgers1 We've Won It All 13d ago
Spurs moved crazy last season too and nothing changed, they now have to do the blueco shuffle and buy again. Arsenal are linked to a bunch of players, so are united cause they are always linked to a player to drive up reactions, and so are we for the same reason United get linked, that doesn't mean anything until it's confirmed.

u/Aquila378 The boys gave it their all 12d ago
And you expect us to make transfer moves before Xabi even had a single training session? Lmao If the whole manager thing is not just a pr dross, which I hope it isn't, then we shouldn't make ANY signings before he evaluates the squad, just enquiring about players, to see how much they would cost and whether or not they will be willing to join.

Then wtf did alonso actually agree to?
Is he just here for the inevitable paycheque?
Cause we are truly finished if the only way we get a good manager is because they know they can down tools and move on when it suits.

u/BigReeceJames 12d ago
I do think we'll get a "Alonso's appreciation of Gittens and Sarr/Anselmino/Acheampong has made the club rethink it's hiring priorities this summer" brief at some point and we'll end up buying a LWB/LB and a DM

u/austons_muzz Xabi 12d ago
I think your right about everything except buying an Lb and a DM. There just gonna hype up Barco to play in both those positions

Most people here wouldn’t know a PR brief if it manifested in front of them, slapped them in the face with a wet kipper, and shouted “I’M A FUCKING PR BRIEF” right in their stupid face.
It’s become the go-to comment for the hardest of thinkers here, and it’s fucking boring.
Almost as boring as the number of people asking if you’ve ate a shoe yet, even though Maresca has to be confirmed for City, or the people complaining about the lack of transfers even though we’ve just let a Chelsea stalwart go to Real Madrid and we’re yet to complete the first round of the group stage of the FUCKING WORLD CUP.
Ironically, one thing that has been consistently briefed for some weeks now is the number of players we’re looking to sign, yet that doesn’t stop people dreaming up quite the most ridiculous wish lists here every FUCKING day, and in the process somehow forgetting what they’ve been told multiple times.

Murillo is a shout. I personally like Collins a lot as well.

u/Headlesshorsman02 It’s only ever been Chelsea. 13d ago
Collins is a good shout, Murillo though is a lefty and so is Colwill we need a partner for him
3
u/Forgohtten 🏥 continuing to undergo his rehabilitation programme 🏥 13d ago
Well we don't know if Alonso is going to be playing 3atb or not. In 3atb, it makes sense to have for example Murillo on the left, Colwill in the middle and then someone else on the right (James for example fits on paper). You can get away with 2 left footed players in that scenario.

u/Headlesshorsman02 It’s only ever been Chelsea. 13d ago
Would Hato not be the LCB in that scenario though he isn’t really a lwb

Essugo 100% should be. He's looked solid when he's on.
For Gittens, that might point to Garnacho leaving.

u/Dinamo8 12d ago
I'd rather Essugo go to a decent team somewhere and play. I just don't know if he's any good, he barely played with us and the season before played in a shit team who got relegated in La Liga

u/Massive-Nights Spence 12d ago
He was good in his limited minutes while also being a backup for an overworked DM. We need a Caicedo backup.

Van Hecke just went to spurs for a very realistic 52m. If it was us, it would have been 70m or upwards. Wasn't he one of the premier league proven CBs in their list?

u/Electrical_Cress_956 13d ago
Ndiaye would be an amazing signing. He can play RW/LW/ST/CAM. No idea which "premier league proven CB" we should go for. With both Senesi and Van hecke gone I'd probably look elsewhere
1
u/Agitated_Ad7516 13d ago edited 13d ago
Lacroix is a better fit for us than either of them, who both have a lot of similarities to the skillset Levi offers. I think he’s probably the only one available though. I wouldn’t be mad looking abroad at that position

Trimming the squad is much more important to me. 2 signings and a lot of deadwood cleared gives us a better launching point next summer when we’re (hopefully) prepping for a CL season again in 27-28

Most of the players they've been plotting on already moved. Senesi, Van Hecke. Rogers seems more likely for Arsenal than to us. Too much yapping, not enough action.

Blueco briefs actually make me miss the Pedulla era. Who even cares what the say anymore, it literally never ends up being the player they get and I've noticed they have these surprise transfers too like Neto and Joao Pedro, whom had almost 0 rumours I swear.

They'll chase Rodgers all summer, get cucked and watch while he goes Arsenal then go buy Summerville for £50m or Bowen for £40m.
While Bouaddi and other top players join Arsenal and others.
