Random Rumours

Marco Asensio and Manuel Ugarte are set to join Paris Saint-Germain after passing their medicals

So, I guess the question is, who is leaving PSG [apart from Messi] and who will be available?
Potentially cheap players?

Mauro Icardi
Leandro Paredes

 
I'd take both of those tbf as experienced options. Icardi is a bit of a nob but knows how to score and Peredes good experience for the middle of the park and can help Enzo/Pochettino.

 
Sky reporting we are leading the race to sign Neymar ...Holy Sh*t we will truly be the laughing stock.

Welcome to the circus

Icardi is a total knob. But we could spend 100 million quid on a player and end up with a nob as well.  Yes, I am looking at you, Lukaku.

Icardi just bought the World’s most expensive car. lol I imagine he is a lot of fun in the dressing room.

Peredes seems like a very sensible/logical option. Free transfer. Enzo compatibility. He'd be a good squad player.

Sounds unlikely. We balked at Ugarte’s wages. We’re in a stalemate over Mount’s contract. And we’re suddenly now going to throw money at Neymar?

More journo B.S. if there isn't enough already. We need to introduce a minimum IQ before allowing an internet connection. All present company excepted.

Eeek.  No. Not our best idea. IF true.

I just cannot see Maddison as a Chelsea player.   Better than Drinkwater maybe. . . but that is about it.

 
Diego Moreira - 18 year old (LW)/RW/AM) Benfica youngster on Chelsea's Vision 2030 list of players. Interest of PSG and Milan went nowhere. Recommended by an ex-player.  He has pace and power. He is left footed, but plays down either side.

 Moreira's contract at the Estadio da Luz expires on 30 June 2023, allowing Chelsea to swoop whilst only paying nominal compensation.

Chelsea has a Vision 2030 list of young players they want playing in the first team in 7 years time.  The ‘vision List’ - the seven year vision process has been running at Chelsea for more than 10 years. Academy players have been included in the list and there has been many successes apparently.

Just checking to see if we've found a decent striker who doesn't want to play CL football next year...

Nothing yet then.

We started the transfer window with the difficult task of off loading around 15 players we don't need and buying a striker, defensive mid, and a new goalkeeper.  What we're actually doing is getting rid of players we didn't really want to lose and now having the more difficult task of replacing them, and still needing to off load around 15 players we don't need and buying a striker, defensive mid, and a new goalkeeper.

Don't forget the Vision List. We are still working on the Vision List. Acquiring the best teenager players from all over the world.

It's 8 June, I'll start grumbling and worrying on 8 August if there's no progress.

It's not the lack of progress or signings its the fact we could lose Jorginho, Kovacic, Kante, Mount, and Havertz in 6 months.  Thats essentially the core of the Chelsea team ripped apart.  Even if we do replace these players with top quality replacements isn't Pochettino going to be in the same position as Potter with a load of players that have only just met?  It can't be a good idea going in to the new season with only Thiago, Chilwell, James, and Kepa who have know each other for more than a season.  That plus there's a big possibility we could lose all these useful players and be stuck with Pulisic and Zyiech.  

 
Some really useful free signings available this summer:

- Marcus Thuram (AC Milan and PSG interested) Would be a good option up top

- Daichi Kamada (Liverpool and AC Milan interested) Not a huge need but if Mount leaves could be a good, cheap option as backup to Nkunku

- Adrian Rabiot (Juventus want to resign) Talented player and experience at the highest level but a bit of a c**tish attitude, potential to down tools

- Wilfred Zaha (Roma and Saudi interested) Could be a good option up top

- Houssem Auour (Roma interested) Was wanted by Arsenal the last couple of windows, not sure he's what we need currently though

- Moussa Dembele (Everton interested) We wanted him when he was at Celtic apparently. Lacazette's return pretty much killed him this season but scored 22 goals in 36 games the season before

- Icardi (one year left on his deal, PSG could sell cheap) Has just won Galatasaray the league scoring 23 goals in 26 games. Obvious attitude issues in his personal life but we've always thrived on having a bit of a c**t up top
