Good morning Ed002; please is Chelsea interested in Artem Dovbyk? Through more light on him.

obinna 123

{Ed002's Note - Artem Dovbyk (S) Joined Girona in the summer of 2023 with the City Group planning on possibly moving him to Manchester City if all goes well. Chelsea and Arsenal have had scouts watch him but both have preferred targets. Potential Broja replacement for Chelsea.}


1.) 31 Dec 2023 07:51:58
Is there any interest in Broja? He has, at times, shown glimpses of talent but if honest looks like he needs time to develop. I wonder if any European clubs have shown a desire to take the gamble?

{Ed002's Note - Armando Broja (S) Inter Milan and Besiktas have both spoken with Chelsea but want initial loans. The prior interest of Fulham, Crystal Palace, Milan, Brighton, West Ham and Napoli has drifted but could return if he is made available. With Jackson departing for AFCON any move in January is unlikely unless another striker arrives. Cheslea do not wish to loan the player and will look to discussions before the summer with a departure more likely then.}


2.) 31 Dec 2023 12:55:13
Thank you for your informative reply Ed. I can visualise him doing well in the Italian league and Inter would be a good fit for him. He has the potential if he sharpened up his first touch.

Have a great New Year and good luck for the upcoming transfer window.

Good day Ed002; please tell me that Chelsea is interested in Lesley Ugochukwu the Rennes DM. He’s a player.

obinna 123

{Ed002's Note - Lesley Ugochukwu (DM) Rennes youngster considered as a post Declan Rice addition by West Ham. Potential Thuram replacement for Nice but they have some very good youngsters coming through. Chelsea, who are after two DM players, have an excellent repationship with Rennes and have spoken with his agents and directly with the club. Clarification is being sought whether he would be shipped off the Strasbourg or not. A very viable and far cheaper alternative to Lavia and others.}


1.) 29 Jul 2023 12:45:16
'very viable and cheaper indeed’, Lesley Ugochukwu is a player- I must confess, the guy has the tools to be a rock in defensive midfield.

I say, bring him to Chelsea now, if he doesn’t want to go to Strasbourg because he can play.


2.) 29 Jul 2023 12:45:33
Thanks for the response.


3.) 29 Jul 2023 13:28:44
An exellent signing if we can make this happen.


4.) 29 Jul 2023 14:33:22
Never heard of him and only just looked at him on clips. Never a good way to judge a player but to me he looked slightly raw!

{Ed002's Note - He is only a teenager. He is very well liked and comes with a verty good recommendation.}


5.) 29 Jul 2023 15:11:08
Great stuff thanks.


6.) 29 Jul 2023 15:48:31
Tom the videos I just watch made him look like an ideal Pochettino DM.

I thought he looked very good (highlights)

Can easily see him ball winning and recycling in midfield and sitting into a three in defence when needed.

The 'Dier' role if you like.


7.) 29 Jul 2023 16:31:53
He plays that Dier role perfectly Nathswindon and is just what we need. I hope he goes straight into the squad bearing in mind we are looking at signing 2 CDM's.


8.) 29 Jul 2023 17:03:09
Does Dier have a role?

I’m happy to take on board all the feedback but as I say he looks work in progress to me and that’s not surprising given his age.

I want all our young players to progress and be given a chance to impress.


9.) 29 Jul 2023 17:50:40
Ha ha ha Tom. True that Dier was questionable.

But you get it!

Desaily at Milan / Marseille might be a more appealing comparison.

I agree, he's young and raw, but so is Lavia who he appears to be an alternative to.


10.) 29 Jul 2023 18:25:48
Nath, as long as it’s not Danny Dier? Having said that he may be a better player than the spuds Dier.

Anyway, I like the idea of investing in young players.


11.) 29 Jul 2023 21:53:23
Tom, I agree with investing in young players, not sure what the club are going to do with this lad: expensive for a loaner. I would like to see some signings who might be starters though. As for Dier, he is one of the few, if any, English players who are multi-lingual; he is fluent in Portuguese and Spanish and even more impressive he is able to understand what Harry Kane is on about.


12.) 29 Jul 2023 22:31:08
I like what I am hearing :)
Ed01 do you know the player?

{Ed001's Note - I don't mate sorry.}


13.) 30 Jul 2023 14:08:53
Only seen YouTube vids but the lad looks great. Be nice to see with the first team squad this season. He could turn out to be another hidden gem like Nico Jackson.


14.) 30 Jul 2023 22:30:31
Just thinking out loud but I wonder if the lad might go on loan to Brighton.

Very unlikely!


15.) 31 Jul 2023 10:00:52
Tom

I believe you need to move on from Calcedo.


16.) 31 Jul 2023 10:37:52
Thinking out loud here, but is there a chance that Ugochukwu could be used in a deal to take Caicedo to Chelsea?

Ugochukwu to Brighton on loan, giving them a year to scout their own Caicedo replacement?

Just an idea that I came up with this morning and am probably way off, but could be possible.


17.) 31 Jul 2023 10:38:23
Bill, why would I want to do that?

In my opinion he is the best DM we could sign. I’m going to cling onto the hope of signing him.


18.) 31 Jul 2023 10:54:12
dihanio, my post of last night came up the same wacky idea.

I doubt very much it would or could happen but it’s just a bit of fun.


19.) 31 Jul 2023 11:48:15
Dunno how I missed that Tom, right above my post!


 

 

22 Jun 2023 08:17:55
Good morning Ed002; Is Chelsea interested in Disasi? Please throw a bit of light on him. Thanks

He’s a good player, he’s the frame of a top CB.

obinna 123

{Ed002's Note - Axel Disasi (CB) West Ham and Spurs had a declared interest last summer but after adding Aguerd in the summer would have ended that and Spurs took Lenglet on loan. Southamption interest will have gone. After the sale of BB, Monaco will probably not be open to a sale. Wildcards will be Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal but each have preferred options. Manchester City has likely gone.}


 

 

14 Jun 2023 12:41:48
Ed002; please talk about Arda Güler and Nicolas Jackson; is Chelsea interested in both players?
Nicolas Jackson seems a sensible target at 21 years of age.

obinna 123

{Ed002's Note - Arda Guler (AM) Fenerbahce has no intention of selling both Guler and Kachioglu although Newcaste are offering a package deal to try and attract both players. Ajax offer a very viable option to Guler and he has been recommended to Juventus by a very high-profile ex-player.
Nicolas Jackson (S) Covered by the Cotonou Agreement so staying in Spain is easier than a move to Bournemouth or Southampton. But one to watch. Agent has been doing the rounds and offering the player to PL clubs and Bayer Leverkusen in Germany.}


1.) 14 Jun 2023 16:04:18
Is he a significant upgrade on Broja or D. Fofana? If no, then I don’t see the point.


2.) 14 Jun 2023 18:19:39
Blue, the word “upgrade” is going to a well used term throughout this window. In the positive I hope!


 

 

02 Jun 2023 18:33:45
Good evening Ed002; please is Chelsea interested in Giorgi Mamardashvili.

obinna 123

{Ed002's Note - No.}

If we succeed in signing Ugarte (who would suit the number six or DM role) and want an EPL midfielder, I will prefer we sign Caicedo to Lavia - as he (Caicedo) will bring more balance, versatility and utility to our midfield than Lavia (even though cost will definitely be an important factor) .

I see Caicedo as a more versatile midfielder that can play as a DM, a CM (can make occasional good box to box runs too) than Lavia; however, I think Lavia is more adept in defensive midfield or number six role alone than Caicedo.

I could be wrong, however I feel If we get Ugarte and go for Lavia instead of Caicedo, it could look like a midfield where Lavia might be the six (DM) and Ugarte will be given a freer CM role.

I think the trio of Ugarte, Enzo, Caicedo will offer:
- better midfield/ game
control
- better creativity
- more free flowing
football
- better ball-retention/
ball-playing
- a very good defense
shield
- better vision
than the trio of Ugarte, Lavia, Enzo (whom I think will only offer a better defence shield but less of other qualities that I listed above) .

obinna 123

1.) 28 May 2023 14:47:06
I think it would of been one or the other regarding caceido / ugarte,


2.) 28 May 2023 20:02:15
Never say 'never' Matt, cos no one knows what Boehly and co. are cooking.


3.) 28 May 2023 20:39:48
Caicedo and Ugarte combined would both end up being around £110m+ I would suspect. Don’t think we have the funds this summer to afford that and still bring in a ST and GK. Would like to be proved wrong though, both would be huge additions.


4.) 28 May 2023 21:07:48
We’ve got quality players that will be sold.


 

 

27 Jan 2023 05:42:48
I woke this morning to an epiphany, which is: WE HAVE TO SIGN ENZO FERNANDEZ. 'If Benfica agrees', Chelsea should pay the €120 (deterrent fee) but in two instalments. He’s such good player that can form a strong spine for the team.

Midfielders with Enzo’s passing range are scare.

obinna 123

1.) 27 Jan 2023 12:58:26
I don't think we will I could be wrong but if we sign as benfica want it all at once we could breach ffp.


2.) 27 Jan 2023 13:51:16
I’m sure the club will be mindful of FFP and maybe a sale of one or two players would help.


3.) 28 Jan 2023 08:51:10
We're running out of time to be able to sell players before agreeing a deal for ef dis window though I think the club knows what to do if they desperately want him.
Real will soon be looking for modric replacement and not many can fill that which could prompt interest on ef.


 

 

20 Jan 2023 16:40:08
Noni Madueke- signed and sealed ✅.

obinna 123

1.) 21 Jan 2023 00:08:47
Hope he can stay fit andcdo well. Not a signing id expected though given his injury record and position.


 

 

16 Jan 2023 13:38:54
it seems to have gone cold on Thuram, Personally, I think we need him, the guy is strong- we will thrive in English football.

27 Aug 2022 19:55:56
Gallagher is clearly not the Chelsea type of central midfielder.

obinna 123

{Ed018's Note - he’s not a 6. He’d be much better off playing as an 8 in a 4-3-3}


1.) 27 Aug 2022 20:03:50
Putting aside the sending off, he was ok for the short period he was on the pitch.

He gave the ball away a couple of times but his energy was more than enough to allow him to recover from those mistakes.


2.) 27 Aug 2022 20:16:08
I strongly disagree obinna. We need that sort of energy in the middle of the park.


3.) 27 Aug 2022 21:15:46
Didn’t see the game today but the result was important given the other results today. On the BBC site our stats for possession, shots and shots on target was very poor. Nice to see Sterling get a couple of goals. Things need to improve .


4.) 27 Aug 2022 21:25:45
Connor is exactly what Chelsea need.


5.) 27 Aug 2022 21:42:03
Ed 018, trouble is Ed, under TT it is unlikely we will play 4-3-3.

{Ed018's Note - maybe. but if he’s gonna use this 4-2-2-2 then he should put Connor higher up}


6.) 27 Aug 2022 22:11:40
I’m not so sure about not playing 433 again.

It was definitely working against a very average Leicester side with CG and RLC playing in front of Jorginho.

I hope TT gives the shape more of a chance rather than just 45mins.


7.) 27 Aug 2022 22:21:45
Gallagher is a CM/ CAM. Yes he can play pivot in 4231 but he needs DM next to him. Also 8 in 433&3142, but he is not DM.
Red card was not his fault, big mistake made by Cucurella.
I don't recall TT criticising Koulibaly for getting red card last week.
Not sure that TT has a clear idea how Chelsea should play under him anymore.

Good evening Ed002; please is Chelsea also interested in Victor Osimhen? Please throw a bit of light on Osimhen.

obinna 123

{Ed002's Note - Victor Osimhen (S) Napoli made it clear to Chelsea who enquired in 2021 that even €100M would not buy the player - but they do maintain an interest and he has been first choice and expect an offer to be made. Al Hilal may well offer Napoli the €200M they will look for, but that may not suit the player just yet. PSG and Real Madrid could look to him as an option but Madrid would want to offer players in exchange. There is a suggestion that Liverpool have negotiated directly with the player and his agent and not spoken to Napoli. Given Napoli registered a complaint against Liverpool over another player last year, it would seem unlikely, or particularly stupid. Napoli will seek a new contract in the first instance.}

TomB; there’s nothing con about Fabrizio Romano, he remains the most reliable European football journalist out there (when it comes to transfer) . He’s the best and the most connected football transfer journalist - his social media reach is testament of the man’s ability when it comes to European football transfer.

I want Santos and Carney in the first team, however I want Chelsea to sign Caicedo and Lavia (which could mean one of Carney or Santos will go on loan), I think nothing should be left to chance, we must be in the UCL next season because that’s where we belong.

Casadei should be loaned out

If Chelsea can sign these players below -

* Caicedo

* Lavia

* Cherki

* Kolo Muani

* Matheus Franca

* Diogo Costa

* A. Debast or G. Ignacio or Disasi (a RCB)
then we are fine.

Maybe Ugarte wants to follow the career path of his homeboy Cavani or decide to be reasonable (the choice is up to him) .
