Any chance of an update on what centrebacks might be leaving on loan or even sold? We seem to have quite a few.
{Ed002's Note - It is not worth the problems that come with explaining.}
1.) 07 Jul 2024 10:54:57
Ok ED02, I understand. Thankyou anyway.
24 Jun 2024 09:48:38
Marc Guiu of Barcelona and Johnathon David of Lille now getting a mention along with Juan Duran. All 3 have an appeal and don't block Jackson's pathway. Nkunku is always an option as well although I think he is better deployed off the main striker. Going to be interesting to see who else gets a mention in the coming weeks.
22 Jun 2024 21:05:38
Willian Estevao deal agreed. Joins next summer 2025. Apparently we have signed a real gem here.
1.) 22 Jun 2024 21:51:58
Who knows plenty have foundered, but he will have to compete with Paez, Cole and Madueke which seems like madness to me.
You would have thought the money could have been spent more wisely on a young Brazilian striker.
2.) 22 Jun 2024 22:00:41
He looks good in clips but I doubt many if any Chelsea fans know much about him.
Let’s hope he develops into a Chelsea Legend.
3.) 22 Jun 2024 22:30:38
The lad is barely past his 16th birthday. He is hardly going to block or compete against any players currently in thefirst team squad.
4.) 22 Jun 2024 23:10:11
I think the plan is that he will be competing for the first team. Pele was 16 when he made the Brazil team. Lamine Yamal is 16 and playing for Spain.
5.) 23 Jun 2024 00:17:18
Kdrog, if you could sign a young Messi right now would you turn it down just because you need a CB/ or whatever more instead?
6.) 23 Jun 2024 11:19:24
He’s bang average from when I’ve watched him. I thought we were after a target man bully up top with an aerial presence. David is the complete opposite.
7.) 23 Jun 2024 12:11:18
Barnet, I think you are posting about a different player than the rest of us. Also, I haven’t read anything about us wanting a CF who is “target bully up top with an aerial presence. ” Do such players exist anymore?
{Ed002's Note - It is simply trolling Tom. Ignore it.}
8.) 23 Jun 2024 12:23:34
OK, Ed.
9.) 23 Jun 2024 12:50:36
I sussed him out a while back. Just another of his numerous guises.
10.) 23 Jun 2024 16:41:31
Tom do we exist? Are we figments of our own non-existent imagination? Seriously, I hope classic CF’s who are strong in the air and who bully defenders still exist. I am bored to death with false nines.
11.) 23 Jun 2024 17:59:14
Jimbo, some of us do but only just.
I’m struggling to think of any old style CFs. I’m sure there must be some but they seem to be a disappearing breed.
12.) 24 Jun 2024 00:38:53
Does seem gone are the days of Drogba and Costa.
13.) 24 Jun 2024 17:55:35
Imo I think osihmen can be that striker described above but Chelsea are not serious in signing him.
07 Jun 2024 11:02:02
ED02, now Tosin has been signed is that the end of incoming centre backs this window?
{Ed002's Note - I doubt it.}
1.) 07 Jun 2024 11:52:39
Badiashile still to leave which leaves us with Colwill, Tosin, Chalobah, Disasi and Fofana. Presumably, one of those leaves (chalobah is as good as gone, even though he's our best cb) which leaves us with 4, one of those being fofana who can't stay fit.
I'd be very surprised to not see another centre back come in and us go into the season with 5 first team centre backs, considering fofanas health.
2.) 07 Jun 2024 11:56:32
Thankyou ED02.
3.) 07 Jun 2024 14:02:37
Ed002 what cb profile? A left footer than can play cb and lb? Or a rcb? And there are reports we are interested in hincapie who shares same agent as caicedo and paez i belive, any truth? Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Chelsea has no interest in Hincapie.}
4.) 07 Jun 2024 20:49:17
Standard, we also have Gilchrist too.
08 May 2024 13:28:17
If, and a big If, Conor doesn't sign a new contract (and I really hope he does) who would his replacement likely be? Is there a list?
{Ed002's Note - There is a list of options but the preferred choice would be Heorhiy/Georgiy Sudakov.}
1.) 08 May 2024 13:52:04
Thankyou ED02.
2.) 08 May 2024 20:58:16
Ed002
Why aren't our academy players more highly valued?
A foreign option seems to always be the preferred option.
Many thanks.
{Ed002's Note - I don’t understand the question.}
3.) 08 May 2024 23:11:32
I tend to agree K Drog we will probs throw 50-60 mil at an unproven player from the Ukranian league like Mudryk and it will backfire as they aren’t ready for the prem yet when it would be equally as beneficial to integrate a player from the academy.
4.) 09 May 2024 00:36:05
Who are these academy players who are going to help us to get back to a higher level? Come to think of it, apart from Terry, over the last 15 years which academy players have had a significant impact on our previous successes?
{Ed001's Note - to be fair Jimbo, how often have they been given a chance to establish themselves like Terry was? Usually they are farmed out on needless loans.}
5.) 09 May 2024 07:28:14
Perhaps Reece James Ed, Jimbo?
Of the present players, I think Levi (definitely) and Connor (if he signs a new deal) will be academy products that will have an impact in trophy winning seasons to come. JT also had a loan at Forrest I think before breaking into 1st team.
At the level our club is at, players get pretty much 1 chance, an example being Golding, who I thought was good when given a chance earlier this season, but got put through 1 on 1 and didn't convert, and hasn't been sighted since. We, as fans, think in the hundreds of pounds/ dollars per week in earnings, these guys are in the thousands, and sometimes tens of, so the expectation is higher, and tbf, rightly so!
{Ed001's Note - good shout Kiwi. He is probably the best example. If he hadn't got injured so much he would have been a regular for sure.}
6.) 09 May 2024 08:17:19
In recent times Mount was given a chance and proved himself at our club. I would like to think CHO and RLC would have proved themselves at our club if they hadn’t picked up there horrible injuries.
This might be a tad controversial but I would have kept Tammy but that wasn’t to be.
I can see some merit in the loan system but they don’t, for lots of reasons, all work out.
7.) 09 May 2024 10:00:35
Curious to see that they'd look to bring in another new midfielder to replace Conor if they sell him. Barring another freak injury season, Lavia should finally enter the fold as a rotation player. Ugochukwu was also bought and has looked pretty promising when playing (before also disappearing for the past 4 months with injury) . You'd hope that Chukwuemeka would also have a less injury-riddled season next year.
Then we've got Andrey Santos doing well at Strasbourg, who looks the type of all action CM that Conor is as well. And then we're not even mentioning academy midfielders like Golding, Russell-Denny and Kiano Dyer who have had really good seasons in the youth and development teams.
Buying yet another midfielder would just push all those other mids that we already have further down the pecking order. Seems strange. If you don't trust them enough to use them, why buy them in the first place?
8.) 09 May 2024 11:19:32
Jackson and Jimbo, I tend to agree that if we sold CG I can’t see why we need to replace him.
I think Chuka will be a top class AM and Ugo looks a good DM option. Lavia will prove himself at Chelsea and he can play anywhere in midfield in my opinion.
We also potentially have Caicedo and Santos available for next season.
9.) 09 May 2024 12:02:07
James and Mount were absolutely integral to our UCL success Jimbo. You could make the case that Christensen was too.
The question is whether they can contribute to the team more than a more expensive or established player. Frequently this season the answer has been they can (Gallagher, Chalobah) .
10.) 09 May 2024 13:03:24
bandy, I forgot Chalaboa. Again this is probably just me but I would be slightly more gutted if we sold Chalaboa.
11.) 09 May 2024 13:28:13
Ed002
Leftback -Cucurella £60m incoming.
Hall/ Maatsen outgoings over £60m . The fee for young inexperienced players indicates they are highly thought of outside the club.
Midfield over £300m spent with little thought given to Conor developing but other clubs willing to spend £40/ 50m on him.
CB Over £150m with Chalobah apparently available for sale.
And why but Badiashile when we have Colwill.
12.) 09 May 2024 16:02:46
Agreed KDrog. The mooted fee for Sudakov is 60m. And we sell Gallagher for what, 50? Baffling.
As a point of interest related to this topic, presumably a lot of this recruitment is, in the first instance, data-driven. Do those in charge of identifying players also look at players coming through our own academy using the same models/ criteria?
{Ed002's Note - It is not baffling - what is baffling is you not understanding that he has not signed a new contract and can leave for nothing next season.}
13.) 09 May 2024 19:14:46
I agree with ED002, CG is not signing a new contract at this point and if by the summer it's still not signed he has to leave otherwise the following season he leaves on a free.
I know he has played and captained most games this season but that is due to our horrendous injury record and it would have been interesting to see how many games he would have played if it weren't for that scenario.
14.) 09 May 2024 17:30:37
You're right Ed002, I hadn't factored that in. Has the club offered Gallagher a contract based on his performances/ role this season, or is the contract he's being asked to sign one that was offered before his emergence as a key part of the squad?
And do you think Sterling's wages, agreed towards the outset of the new ownership (and presumably far higher than the wage structure the club now, sensibly, wants to employ) have presented an issue for the club, in the sense that other players see his contribution and feel they should be earning the same?
{Ed002's Note - Fallagher has been offered a contract that will no doubt include bonuses. Sterling is being made available as it is time to move on. It is not about the wages, but that will impact his value.#
15.) 09 May 2024 20:02:42
Thanks Ed002, appreciate the input.
16.) 10 May 2024 01:47:55
Gallagher wants 150-200k allegedly. It would cost more to replace him and his ability and he has more than shown his worth. If we don't pay him someone else will and there is no shortage or suiters.
{Ed001's Note - that seems a fair request in the current market for the club captain. It would not be opening the floodgates to others as it could easily be made clear he gets a premium for being captain. It certainly makes financial sense to pay it rather than buying someone else of a similar level of ability.}
17.) 10 May 2024 06:19:05
Gallagher is not the captain just a stand in captain. Besides I don't find him worthy to captain imo.
18.) 10 May 2024 07:55:52
Tusole I think Gallagher became a worthy captain when he took the ball from the arguing kids and gave it to Palmer! He probably learnt a lot in that moment as well, and, because of that, and the ensuing out fall, the team has started playing as a team. To give credit when due, Poch made the tactical change with MC becoming an inverted midfielder, which also resulted in Noni and Mudryk also discovering their defensive responsibilities which has resulted in a team defending as a team, then attacking as a team.
We will win our last 3 games, but other games will determine our league position.
Standard, the (our) club don't pay those sort of weekly wages anymore, if he doesn't want to sign a contract he will be sold. I have no problem with a weekly wage with bonus's for achievement being involved, makes the team more eager .
My gut feeling is that Reece will move to Real in the summer, therefore removing the last huge earner, after Sterling, who will also go, then maybe achievement within our team will be rewarded.
19.) 10 May 2024 08:59:07
The Gallagher situation is straightforward as Ed002 keeps re- stating, the club have offered a new deal and he has not signed a contract. The cutoff point is appproaching, if there is no agreement he will have to be sold. Personally, I am more concerned about keeping Palmer, if we carry in the same vein as the last two seasons a big club will come in for him.
20.) 10 May 2024 09:29:27
Jimbo, we are a big club.
21.) 10 May 2024 11:28:26
Ed001
Thank you for spelling out the financial realities of retaining the bloke who has captained the side, worked his nuts off, scored important goals and clearly wants to stay at the club.
I think his importance to the side is vastly underrated by the club and he could easily become what Henderson was to Liverpool and that in my book is high praise.
{Ed001's Note - I agree. He has grown into a very important player in my opinion and he is clearly improving still.}
22.) 10 May 2024 16:42:33
Bill, I guess it depends on what the definition of”big club “is: if we are we need to start acting like one.
23.) 10 May 2024 17:16:24
Interesting comment but maybe for another day!
24.) 10 May 2024 19:00:14
Kiwi, pretty sure there’s at least 6 current players who are on over 150k/ week. James, Chilwell, Cucu, Caicedo, Enzo, Fofana, Nkunku. Palmer will probs join that group too as I think we’re offering him a new contract. So I don’t see 150k as too much imo. I do think performance bonuses are better imo, assist/ goal bonuses and team bonuses etc though.
25.) 11 May 2024 01:24:07
Not only that ed002, one of the only players who is always, always fit and available. Someone mentioned 'he's not captain, just a stand in captain' . how ridiculous. He's been captain in the majority of the games this year because our two 'real' captains cannot stay fit.
I'd feel massively disrespected if I was Gallagher, and again, although we don't know exactly what he's after wage wise, if reports are true and it's 150-200k, he absolutely deserves that.
26.) 11 May 2024 10:05:25
Standard, I haven’t got a clue what CG has been offered but what we do know is if an agreement cannot be reached he will be sold. I’m also not sure what he “deserves” but I do hope a solution can be found.
He has been our captain in the absence of our club and vice club captains. I personally don’t regard him as a so called leader but the manager has asked him to put on the arm band.

26 Jul 2024 17:19:07
With our wingers now being asked to play high and wide I really think Cole Palmer will now drop in as one of the 8/ 10's. That could be devastating with his ability to find a pass and also shoot. With the inverted fullback playing alongside a deep lying playmaker/ controller we will effectively have a back 3 with 2 in front then Palmer and one more in the 8/ 10 and then the front 3 with the wide players just waiting for that pass to explode away. Patience and pace will be key for the wingers. I can understand why the club looked at Olise and wonder who else they are considering to add competition? rumours that Newcastle want Noni which I don't like but if it happens it happens. Going to be some strong competition for starting places when all are fit and available (fingers crossed) and exciting times ahead.
24 Jul 2024 20:31:46
Moises, Lavia, Enzo, KDH, Carney what a fantastic group of players vying to claim those 3 midfield places. Palmer could also drop into the 8 as well. Reece or Marc C will likely drop in as inverted fullbacks as well. Conor likely to leave unless he pens that deal offered to him, Santos gaining more experience in France following his excellent loan last season. Casedai on loan? Ugo on loan? Midfield sorted.
1.) 25 Jul 2024 12:58:59
Think most of the team sorted the only upgraded needed for the new coach is a keeper good with the ball at his feet.
Hope Casedai is a loan think he will be a top player.
2.) 26 Jul 2024 07:02:47
Yeah we can’t sell casadei that’s crazy. He’s so good. Good in the air too. Great shot.
24 Jul 2024 10:41:11
How many of our centre backs would get into the top 3 clubs (based on finishing position last season) in the premier league?
1.) 24 Jul 2024 12:22:13
If it's as a starter, 0. If it's in the 4 CB's for a club, Chalobah probably but it's a stretch. I do love chalobah as a squad player but his ability for a tip side is probably 3rd or 4th choice. At chelsea he's number one which makes it even more absurd he's the CB being turned away by chelsea.
2.) 24 Jul 2024 12:29:44
Colwill and Fofana would get into Liverpool’s squad and I wouldn’t put either of them behind Akanji or Gabriel either. Van Dijk, Dias and Saliba are ahead of them.
3.) 24 Jul 2024 16:12:52
Chalobah myh current number 1 as well. Hard to tell what squad Fofana would get into given he has been injured for so long while at CFc and was hardly faultless = particularly in terms of positional play - when did make appearances. But does or did have pace and might turn out to be great who knows.
4.) 24 Jul 2024 20:07:46
Colwill would be a squad player in all of the top 4 and a starter at Liverpool and Villa.
22 Jul 2024 21:45:46
A fair few not travelling to the USA including Bashir, Caisedy, David Fofana, Washington, Kellyman, Burstow, Gilchrist and of course Big Trev. Looks like loans and sales for them. Petrovic injured. Nice to see Tyrique George and Josh Acheampong included.
1.) 22 Jul 2024 22:22:10
Gutted about big Trev not going, his performances last season earned him the right to be going to USA.
He will clearly be sold and I don’t think Id be the only one to much rather see Badashille or Disasi go before him.
I think loans for Gilchrist and Casedei will do them the world of good.
2.) 22 Jul 2024 23:25:32
Can't believe we're going to start the season with Sanchez as first choice again. Whatever, at this point. No point in having an opinion as the club are going to do whatever they want anyway, regardless of how bonkers it seems.
3.) 23 Jul 2024 00:14:41
Badashille is for me the one that truly isn’t good enough at all unfortunately.
4.) 23 Jul 2024 02:37:32
Us fans all have different opinions about most players, so the club will always struggle to make a percentage of fans happy.
5.) 23 Jul 2024 09:02:08
What should have been a new dawn, is turning into a nightmare apart of the season.
First we have the Enzo issue, then we have reports our no1 goalkeeper will be shipped out and Sanches will be the no 1 (my goodness) now Chabs is been ostracised and has been left out of our USA squad, I know who I would leave behind, Fofana as he will injure himself getting of the plane.
Still no experience striker but not to worry we are still signing kiddies in positions we don't need to fill.
The ownership and recruitment team are a total shambles.
6.) 23 Jul 2024 09:49:30
Bill, I don’t agree with all of what you have said. You are right though about our signings more kids and the others underwhelming. I was hoping for 3 top class signings including a keeper and striker. If the club truly want to embrace Maresca’s style of play the right type of keeper is integral to that. I said before and after Sanchez was signed that he was poor and couldn’t understand why we paid £25 million for him. As for Enzo that’s all down to him and that will rumble on no doubt.
7.) 23 Jul 2024 09:56:45
Bill, I disagree generally about our recruitment team. There are bound to be mistakes amongst the players we have signed, that is the same at every club. We won’t be able to truly access our squad until this window is over.
We may still end up with a new striker and goalkeeper in this window.
I wouldn’t sell Gallagher and Chalaboa but there are lots of fans who don’t rate Chalaboa and Gallagher hasn’t signed a new contract.
The owners have an impossible task to make fans happy as we all have different opinions about players and that includes managers and coaches.
I think the potential of the so called “kiddies” we have signed looks enormous but only time will tell if it’s been good business.
At any stage in the season fans can turn on players, managers and owners but I would like to think we will have a good ish season. A good solid start will be important and help get the fans onside.
8.) 23 Jul 2024 10:54:36
Only time will tell if this has been a good window but the club have picked up some very good young players with Estevao Willian being the one who really excites me, albeit in 2025. I also like the profile of Veiga. KDH may just surprise a few as well. Also, the clearout has continued, Lukaku looks on his way, Kepa as well, Malang Sarr has gone as has Ziech. Those 4 were brought in by the previous owner for approx £200 plus million pound with huge wages as well. Were ANY of them a success?
9.) 23 Jul 2024 11:57:13
None of those 4 werexa success G8 and I agree with Williams and Paez.
I also agree with Tom that we have exciting youngsters however, how big is our squad now with youngsters and if we do get some experience it's going to be that more have to be loaned out.
For the life of me I do not get on the call on Sanches being no1, I get that goalkeepers nowadays play out from the back for for goodness sake they have to be able to give the defence confidence and more importantly be able to keep the ball out of the net, something Sanches has not read up on.
10.) 23 Jul 2024 12:40:41
G8, I am not against building for the future but most supporters are concentrating on next season. A third consecutive season without CL football would be painful and not good for the club. We shall see how the transfer window goes . I would like to see a few more departures.
11.) 23 Jul 2024 13:28:03
Some of the inclusions on that squad list are laughable.
Take the blue-tinted glasses off and think about what Sanchez, Viega, Mudryk, Angelo, Guiu represent.
12.) 23 Jul 2024 14:30:18
I’m very guilty of have blue tinted glasses and I can’t wait to see Viega, Guiu and Angelo this season. I still have hope for Mudryk and I think Sanchez will be good squad keeper.
Particularly Guiu who I think has more to offer than Broja.
13.) 23 Jul 2024 15:31:45
Bill, I totally agree we need a new first choice goalkeeper with the skillset to suit Maresca and I think that will happen. Jimbo, I agree we do need to get top 4 and this squad is good enouth to do that. We are also one of just two premier league clubs to have qualified for The Club World Cup which will guarantee tens of millions. Tom, like you I have blue tinted glasses, the same blue as that 1970 FA Cup shirt, proper Chelsea blue.
14.) 23 Jul 2024 18:28:04
Angelo, £13m, 0G 0A in 21 appearances.
Mudryk, £62m, 7G 4A in 60 appearances. 10 yellow cards.
Standards you know.
I would love to hear why you think Guiu, an obvious candidate for a couple loans and sale for a modest profit, is more promising than Broja? Pretty sure the club was telling everyone who would listen that he was worth £50m in January? Guiu was signed for £6m because Barcelona valued that more than keeping him around on modestly improved terms.
This time last year we were being told how Casadei and Santos were ready to take Gallagher's place. Casadei is now up for sale and Santos heading back to Strasbourg having made 1 appearance for Forest in half a year.
I want Maresca to succeed but let's look at it logically, he was second or third choice and this time last year the SDs were telling us how Poch was the best choice after a long and extensive search. Maresca is going to have more rope because at this point they need him to succeed, but even then I wouldn't bank on him seeing out the season.
15.) 23 Jul 2024 19:35:45
I’m surprised with casadei.
16.) 23 Jul 2024 20:19:50
I have only see guiunin clips and one game I found on line. He looked strong, mobile and his first touch was good. Also he is quick ish.
I have never rated Broja so my opinion is biased.
20 Jul 2024 10:42:43
Some of these young academy lads training with Maresca and the first team look very very good, what a conveyor belt of talent. I particuarly like Tyrique George and Josh Acheampong and with possibly over 60 plus games next season I'm hoping a few of them get some minutes. Not sure we need to buy anymore players for the first team bar a goalkeeper?
1.) 20 Jul 2024 11:05:41
A striker?
2.) 20 Jul 2024 11:28:43
It’s a big step, but there is a lot of talent there. It’s always good to see them given some time during the season.
Looking at the squad, I’m not sure there is a huge need for further purchases - barring a goalkeeper as you say.
We all know where we are weakest: up top, but Jackson, Nkunku and whichever is still there from Washington, Fofana and Broja isn’t hugely thin; LW, maybe, but Mudryk, Sterling, Nkunku, Chilwell are all options…
Feel quite comfortable with the squad as it is.
3.) 20 Jul 2024 13:01:47
G8/ JBS we need a striker and a keeper. The signings so far have been underwhelming, mainly kids and I don’t see Tosin or KDH as automatic starters . The prospect of Sanchez as our No 1 keeper scares the bejesus out of me ( and no doubt our defenders too) .
4.) 20 Jul 2024 15:59:09
Only time will tell Jimbo and lots said the same last year when Palmer signed and look how that turned out. I think the signing of Estevao Willian, albeit for 2025 will prove to be very good indeed. I like the new approach, looking for the next gem rather than just snapping up the latest shiny toy ala Lukaku. All about opinions though and I respect yours.
5.) 20 Jul 2024 17:17:32
G8, I am all for seeking out young talent for the future but we are crying out for a top class keeper particularly in view of Maresca’s style of play. Plenty of time left in the window also need some outgoings.
6.) 20 Jul 2024 17:26:06
Agree with you Jimbo re both GK and Striker. to go back to Sanchez seems bizarre and though Jackson did pretty well for a first season we need a back up and/ or someone who could play centrally if NJ moves to more of a winger position. Neither NJ nor Nkunku out and out strikers and suppose one of them broke dwon and was out for much of the season as happened with Nkunku last season. Guiu v promising but very inexpefrienced: albeit an exciting longer term prospect perhaps, like so many we have been buying recently and I sahre your excitement about many of them G8
But we surely do need to get Top 4 for this coming season?
7.) 20 Jul 2024 17:46:52
I think Guiu looks a better bet than Broja and that’s what we went with last season.
I think they would like the young lad from AM.

Totally agree Jimbo that we need a new keeper with the skillset to suit Maresca. Neither Sanchez or Petrovic are at the level we need in my opinion.

Kdrog, how do you know he hasn't had just that? are you privvy to the offer made to him?

Ok ED02, I understand. Thankyou anyway.

I sussed him out a while back. Just another of his numerous guises.

Exactly right FD77, I couldn't of put it better myself.

The bottom line is RBD Liverpool would of won the league if they had signed Moises. Klopp wanted him. Klopp new how good he is, better than Rice. A superstar of a player. The sporting directors did so well to sign him. Trust me, the boy is a superstar in the making. You need to trust the boys who do this job for a living mate. Relax. We are coming back to the top table.

Too much of a gamble. lol.

Bill, I totally agree we need a new first choice goalkeeper with the skillset to suit Maresca and I think that will happen. Jimbo, I agree we do need to get top 4 and this squad is good enouth to do that. We are also one of just two premier league clubs to have qualified for The Club World Cup which will guarantee tens of millions. Tom, like you I have blue tinted glasses, the same blue as that 1970 FA Cup shirt, proper Chelsea blue.

You could be right Nib but played in his correct position as the deep lying playmaker and controller he might prove to be very very good. He was just the sought of player England needed in the EURO's.
