Liverpool are funny, Southampton are right to demand £50m, it should be at least £50m or more, seeing as Lavia has a 20% sell on clause. If city buy him next summer it would be for £40m buy back clause and they have the player for one whole season who can help them buy to EPL.

Southampton should be demanding £55m or £60m, won't be surprised if that's what they actually want and not all this journalist reports.

If Chelsea offers £40m+ plus £10m achievable add ons Southampton may accept. Add ons are part of sell on clause abi, if not Southampton gain

City can still buy Lavia by matching any bid and winning it, so shouldn't it be something City won't want to match like £55m+ (which makes them pay 9m more than they would in 2024)

hensben:
He is already doing that with Maarten and cucu, nevertheless we need a ball winning DM and Caicedo fits that profile of player.

ball winning DM, dude DMs are supposed to win the ball, be it duels, interceptions, blocks etc or win the man 😁. It's just that Caicedo does it almost like Kante all around the pitch but in defence and while pressing but a manager shouldn't limit his tactics to a player profile especially one I doubt Poch has used before (hmm veratti??)

If it was Pep and he converts Cucurella to a DM on the leftside and Enzo on the right, some would call him a genius for it, but what if Poch does it, so that Matseen can play both as a backup LB but as a backup LW.

A player's profile can change, Hall can be a LB or a CM, we saw Trent play midfield few times for Liverpool and he seemed better at it than at RB self. Hall may even be a better backup at lb if he stays than cucurella currently is. If it works Chelsea won't look or seem desperate to sign Caicedo and may get him later for a better price than 100m

Unlimited22:

You said DM/CM

Plus Poch is playing a double pivot. Andrey has excelled so far as the deeper player.

When did Carney become a CM? I know him as AM or winger

I guess in the infamous words of Airmark, when the desired isn't available, the available becomes desired.

Chelsea 24 players, trimmed version

Gk
Kepa
Slonina
Bettinelli

CB
Fofana🤕🤢
Silva
Chalobah
Badiashile 🤕
Colwill

RB
James
Gusto

LB
Chilwell
Cucurella

DM
Enzo
Santos

CM
Cesare Casedei
Gallagher
Chukwuemeka

RW
Sterling
Madueke 🤕

LW
Mudryk
Matseen

Forward
Nkunku
Jackson
Broja 🤕


Hall, Angelo loan, Diego U21


A weak looking squad on paper with potential, add kudus in attack and that's 25 players. Sell Gallagher and buy Caicedo or Lavia, (or loan out Casadei and still keep Gallagher), loan out Chukwuemeka and buy Cherki or Veiga or even Olise.
Out of Cesare Casedei, Gallagher, Chukwuemeka, only one may even stay along with Santos (if them no craze go loan am)

Chalobah could be sold for another RCB. 1 more month to see what happens

So 24 players more like 19 or 18players not counting those with injuries, not fit, not in form (13 actually players, d rest na ...)

Would be nice if Humphreys and Matseen extend their deals, with Humphreys going to Strasbourg on loan for a season and replaces Silva next summer

Lauren James' ball retention/ball carrying ability is exquisite. England as a whole did not look too commanding tho, a better team can and probably will hurt them.

Gucciboy:


Pochetino is looking for experience so l think this players should be enough

Amrabat
Emi Martinez
Disasi or tosin adarabioyo

emi isn't the best keeper around

forgiveness:


Well, there are millions of crazy Chelsea's fans who might not have the opportunity due to time difference but it doesn't change the fact they are staunch fans.

Like I said, you're a toddler who just started supporting Chelsea. So, how can you know Chelsea is a global brand with supporters all over the world.

However, if you lack wisdom or understanding of scouting, let me educate you by saying, Sterling stats over the years were what the scouts used to buy him last season. Common, stop disgracing yourself in public.

come on must you insult,smart mind exchange facts but foolish minds insult

Point is, Caicedo is 21, one of the best DMs in EPL if not Europe, has 4 to 5 more years in his contract in a market that sold 24yr old Rice with a yr left (or 2) for £106m. Obviously he is no Bellingham and £80m is more than fair, that's if Brighton want to sell

Some believe the deal is already concluded £75m +£10m in add ons

tony bloom ain't budging I say we move on

Gucciboy:

Exactly that's why expensive signings flop at Chelsea.
Pressure to perform to at the level of price tag.

true

remember when we went from gvardiol to badiashile , and Chelsea fans thought it was the end of the world only to discover badiashile is a decent defender and he cost less.


when it comes to signings , Chelsea fans have short term memory

Nigeriagood:

Pochetino is demanding for experience and Emi is the perfect goalkeeper to hunt for trophies for at least 3-4 years.

Composed, Commanding,Leadership qualities and experience.

Some Chelsea fans love 100m signings but will blame the board when they flop under pressure 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Some are still pushing for Todd boehly to drop 100m on caicedo 😭😭😭😭😭

I'm confused! ......You said caicedo isn't a DM in one sentence and in another sentence you called him one of the best DM.

If Villa will sell, we shouldn't think twice

You don't need more than 20 players to prosecute a season without Europe. Chelsea should sell more players. Poch is already warning them

Most people don't know that Pep only uses 18 senior players for the last 2 seasons with a couple youth players as backup. If they want a harmonious team, they better shave down, especially Sterling and Cuku who are surplus to requirements, send some of the youngsters on loan and buy a couple of DM/CM, that's it.

BlueAngel444:
right ba

Yeah thanks.

lukaku,ziyech,arizabalaga, and maybe sterling should be sold if offer comes.

my apologies what I meant is that both I referred to, barella and kessie, they are not DM and they are not Caicedo

This womanish man u nor sabi anything... because City has a buyback of 40m Southampton should ask for 60m?...So if Southampton refuses to sell this window you think his value will appreciate after spending a year playing championship football?...or why do u think many relegation teams are quick to sell their most valuable assets, Gavi in barca has a release clause of 1bn maybe any prospective buyer should offer 1.2bn to get him...you nor sabi ball, you nor still sabi finance, stick to the kitchen hermaphrodite..

Yes nau

that simple. You buy when you enter Europe but for now the squad is still too big.

Theuniverse:

We will cross that bridge when we get there, abi are we on transfer ban?

Some players given regular minutes thanks to the small squad may surprise you such that you won't even need to splash

Theuniverse:
lukaku,ziyech,arizabalaga, and maybe sterling should be sold if offer comes.

Lukaku and Ziyech aren't counted and we still 25+ players
