Cicero Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Rumor mill. Quote Andreas Christensen does not see his future at Chelsea. Confirmed by a number of sources close to the player and the Blue Club. Andreas and his agent want to get a big signing bonus in the player's next contract. Talks with Barça and FC Bayern continue. @BarcaTimes #FCBlive pic.twitter.com/IeYWQjwEiX — Shay Lugassi (@Shlugassi) January 24, 2022 Quote Chelsea 'seems close' to securing a £46m deal to sign Jules Kounde from Sevilla for the summer...https://t.co/C80wjOLF3q pic.twitter.com/thZCCuRLqH — Simon Phillips (@siphillipssport) January 25, 2022 Quote Chelsea are in talks with Ousmane Dembélé and may even have an agreement with the player, that's what everything indicates. - @Alfremartinezz/@Laporteriabtv via @Transferzone00 — Simon Phillips (@siphillipssport) January 25, 2022 Quote Barcelona are working to sign César Azpilicueta as free agent in June. Talks on - contract proposed until 2024 with potential option, as per @10JoseAlvarez. Chelsea are still waiting for César to communicate his decision #FCB Barça are also interested in Andreas Christensen. — Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) January 25, 2022 If we replace Christensen with Sule it wouldn't be a terrible loss. Think the latter is a slight upgrade. Think Azpilicueta is off personally as the time is right. A legend but his legs are gone. Kounde coming in freshens it up a bit. Dembele rumors make zero sense.

I just ballparked him around the 50mill mark because that seems to be the going rate these days. Probably more given he is an international for Germany and plays for a rich winning team.

Dave Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Yeah it was definitely a free transfer. After seeing how well Jadon Sancho did they wanted in on the conveyor belt if British talent coming through at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 They bid 35 million at the time if I recall (January 2019). Club feared another KDB/Salah scenario more than anything. CHO was also a lot more electric at the time. His Achilles rapture made him a lot slower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Signed Derby LB Dylan Williams and Charlton ST Mason Burstow in January. Dylan Williams joins are U23s and Mason Burstow rejoins Charlton for the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 On CHO I think they were offering this in the season we had the transfer ban and following his injury we did not know if he would recover and so could not judge anything properly and so waited to see how things panned out. He is certainly not world class, neither first XI for England or first XI Chelsea yet as a sub probably worth keeping. It was his assist for Lukaku's last goal in open play.

Dr. Gonzo Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/02/08/romelu-lukaku-running-chances-impress-roman-abramovich/ according to Matt Law, Abramovich's patience (lol I don't think he has any though) with Lukaku is running thin. Might be buying himself a new toy, despite Chelsea spending enough money to buy an island to sign him this summer. I think that's a bit weird tbh.

I think it's bizarre if Roman is ready to cut him loose (again) after chasing him for years. He's a good striker in the right system, it's up to Tuchel to put him in the right system. Also while he's played in England before - he's still spent 2 years at a very different sort of side in Inter where he played very differently so I still think it's reasonable to give him time to re-settle back to our league and to his club's way of playing. Even players that move domestically can take time to settle at their new clubs. And if you do sell him, I can't see him going for a price near what Inter sold him for. So it just seems like it would be a massive waste of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
