What was this mention for?

What are your thoughts about W. McKennie joining Juventus? I remember we talked about his next step from Schalke last season..

timbros:


Lol I'm just seeing this now.

We are building a team for the future. Messi coming into he team will be a huge distraction. Yes he may give a year or two success but what about the long term? What will happen to us after getting too used to Messi and he retires or leaves? At 33, how many more years do you think he will give us? The average age of our squad now is not more than 24. This is a squad that should stay and blend together to dominate for the next 10 years.

We don't need Messi abeg.

I truly understand your point and it makes sense.

Inasmuch that the board won't sanction the deal, I'd be open to Messi coming to Chelsea. It is a statement of intent and ambition as a club to attract big names and also win trophies.

With Messi donning our jersey, we are sure to win trophies. Key word is SURE!!!

pamcode:
I haven't watched Chigwell like that but I hope he comes out good for us. At the very least like Azpi performed for us.

It just doesn't sit well with me that we signed that guy for 50m

Leicester had already replaced him in the team with that James Justyn dude signed straight from League One.

I suppose it's a sign of the times that a basic left back is being signed for 50m.

A couple years ago, he would have cost max 12 million, with maybe a packet of White London thrown in as a bonus.

Double post

Segedinho:

I supported all our signng including bakayoko.


Signing players is a risk itself.

Sallah was shit in chelsea but king in liverpool.

We all we throw jibes on werner,ziyech,havertz and chiwell if they serve us shit.


Hazard is being ridiculed cos of his performances.


Torres was overly anticipated but we all know d outcome.

Fingers crossed on all our signing

I will argue the bold part anyday anytime .salah was never shit at Chelsea.mourinho was the shit coach who preferred willian to salah and thus he was never given the chance .

Jorginho is a world class midfielder his energy isn't just suited to play 38games in EPL where if he is not running 90mins he hasnt played well

Roland17:

McKenie has to leave Schalke cos it seems they have no direction, But Juventus is also a clusterfuck. I dont know what direction they are going and with Pirlo, I dont know what to expect, they have a lot of players and they dont even know what to do with them.

Is McKennie joining a circus or a real team ready to move to the next level?

We can equally say that Bathsuayi was/is good but Lampard neva gave him a chance.


Do u know that you will have to impress a coach during training in other to earn a chance

Irrespective of how you put it.

Sallah was a flop at Chelsea

Mou is a defensive coach that preferred Oscar and Willian to KDB and Salah. If we had let’s say Ancelotti, Sarri or Klopp as a coach as at then we wouldn’t have lost those players, they would’ve utilized their talent to full potential.

Lol. Crazy times. That year, Enyimba played some breath-taking football winning trophies along.

I hear Marina actually managed to agree a deal for Reguilon INCASE the Chilwell deal fell through.

This woman sha

On the right path

The arrival of Ben Chilwell is just the latest sign that the Blues are operating in a different way to many of their rivals at home and abroad.

When Covid-19 brought the footballing world to a shuddering halt, there was quickly a realisation that the next transfer window - whenever that might be - would not be like any that had preceded it.

Gone were the days, at least for the time being, of transfers approaching £100 million, as even the biggest clubs began to navigate their way out of the economic collapse that accompanied the pandemic.

And while that continues to ring true for a number of teams, there is one clear outlier when it comes to spending this summer.

The arrival of Ben Chilwell at Chelsea on Wednesday means the Blues have now forked out £134m ($177m) on three players ahead of the new campaign, with the England international following in the footsteps of Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner after their transfers from Ajax and RB Leipzig respectively.

That expenditure is set to break the £200m ($264m) mark once Kai Havertz's move from
Bayer Leverkusen is confirmed, with the west London outfit having agreed to pay an initial £72m ($95m) to secure the Germany international's signature in a club-record deal.

Free-agent centre-backs Thiago Silva and Malang Sarr are also set to join Frank Lampard's side in the coming days, with
Chelsea's aggressive summer recruitment drive coming after 12 months which saw them shackled firstly by their FIFA-imposed transfer ban over the summer, and then a lack of viable options in January.

It is clear that having an owner such as Roman Abramovich, who provides all of the club's finances himself, is an advantage when compared to more traditional models at clubs such as Liverpool , Barcelona, Juventus or Real Madrid .

All those sides, as well as new European champions Bayern Munich , are set for relatively quiet summers, meaning the opportunity is there for Chelsea to try and take advantage by significantly improving what is already a talented, but still inexperienced squad.

The Blues are well on track to beat their record expenditure for a season before it even starts. In 2017-18 they spent £234m ($323m) on the likes of Alvaro Morata, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Danny Drinkwater and Davide Zappacosta, and the hope is this splurge will not elicit as many big-money flops.

At the time such spending did not stand out given the way transfer fees were being inflated around Europe. As such, the current flashing of the club's cash harks back to the opulence shown in Abrahmovich's early days at the helm, which in turn led to back-to-back league titles under Jose Mourinho in the mid-2000s.

In the age of Financial Fair Play (FFP) that may seem like a risky strategy, but this is the pay-off of a longer-term plan within the transfer market, rather than a team ruthlessly taking advantage of UEFA's temporary rule changes that were enforced to protect clubs' finances in the wake of the coronavirus.

Lampard was assured he would be backed as they went through the January window without opening their wallet once, and the Chelsea hierarchy have been true to their word.

Despite the decision last summer to make Mateo Kovacic's loan move from Real Madrid a permanent deal at the cost of £40m ($51m), they still have the majority of the transfer fees they received via the sales of Eden Hazard and Alvaro Morata - a sum that amounts to £146m ($193m) - in the bank.

The FA Cup runners-up also bid farewell to the likes of David Luiz, Ola Aina and Tomas Kalas, meaning that, according to the CIES Football Observatory, they have made more from player sales over the course of the last two transfer windows than any other club on the planet.
Chelsea's transfer policy has always revolved around using the money raised from player sales to fund their own spending, and this summer is no different, even if the arrivals have come before the departures.

Bakayoko, Emerson Palmieri and Michy Batshuayi are all understood to be on the chopping block, with it expected that their sales alone will raise £60m ($79m).

Despite that, there is no hiding from the fact that while Chelsea continue to do well out of players they no longer require, Abramovich is key to them being able to conduct relatively normal business in an abnormal market.

Few, if any, clubs could realistically follow up annual losses of £96.6m ($127m) and the removal of matchday income with this scale of spending. But few, if any, have a Russian billionaire backing them.

Abramovich is able to cover any temporary shortfall, and with Champions League football secured for a second successive season after Lampard guided the Blues to a fourth-place finish last term, the accounts should look rosier heading into the new decade.

The 53-year-old has also overseen the building of the club's world-class academy and gave Marina Granovskaia - who now has a reputation as one of the best negotiators in Europe - a seat on the board.

Such decisions mean Chelsea now find themselves in the enviable position of having a first-team squad full of world-class talent that is part-homegrown and part-signed from elsewhere without ever having been forced to truly break the bank.

"I want the same [as him]. In terms of his commitment, I think he has shown his commitment regularly to our football club,"
Lampard said of Abramovich in June. "We have done some business now that will hopefully improve us for next season and we want to keep moving forward."

It is a situation that has other clubs looking on enviously in these difficult times. Chelsea are the kings of the transfer window once more - now Lampard must take advantage on the pitch.

My sources are tight.

Unlimited22:

E remain Thiago Silva and Kai Havertz.


Signing another top CB and top GK can be left for subsequent windows.



Also, I think the league will be postponed. There's too many positive cases.

abeg abeg leaving out GK in this season it's like ridding a new ferrari car without engine oil.

Kepa can't be trusted.
