Random Rumours

BOOM: Executives at Chelsea have travelled to Brazil to close the transfer to sign Estevao Willian 'Messinho' and trigger his €60m release clause.

Might be fake..

 
None of Carney, Enzo or Gallagher can lace Dybalas boots in that role.

Said it when it was rumoured in the summer and will say it again Dybala for €12m would be the best signing on paper of the Boehly era by a significant margin.

Brilliant player but given his injury record and our inability to get players fit I don't know how much of him we'd actually see and I don't think we'll be in for him.  He's at least 9 years too old for Boehly.
Really? In the summer? Well you didn't say anything in here

16 years old I believe. Huge fee of true, around what Real played for that young striker with the insane goal record.

Might be wrong but u18 signings don’t count toward FFP? From the clips I have seen online he seems to be the real deal. 

 
Can anyone think of a Brighton player that has gone on to become a world class superstar that warrants these massive fees?  Actually I can’t think of one that’s improved over their time at Brighton.  
 

Also if we’re supposed to be copying their model and taken half their scouts why are we spending a fortune on Brighton players rather than buying players like Barco for just £8m.  It would be guaranteed profit at the very least.

We shouldn't copy there model because it will never win trophies.

There's a reason it's only employed by Brighton size clubs and not serious clubs.

The small clubs take the risk on developing these talents and the big boys pay the big money for proven quality that's how it's always worked.

I'm really not sure how we've ended up being the club paying big money to take the risk on developing 19 and 20 year olds it makes no sense.

 
How about Isak or Guimaeres from Newcastle ?

Or Livramento for RB/LB ?

Newcastle apparently needing to sell someone significant for FFP purposes ...

I'd take any of them in a heartbeat, Isak especially given our CF situation - however not sure why any would sign without CL and judging by our recent transfer activity we seem unwilling to pay the big salaries. I feel the ship has sailed on Livramento and we have Acheampong from the academy impressing apparently.

I highly doubt Newcastle are going to make Top 4, so if they stay put then there is no CL in 24/25 anyway. I suppose they might try and get their agent to line up a move to a team that will qualify ...

Agree on Livramento, but you never know ... given our ongoing injury problems, he might see more opportunity to play now than he did before ?

 
Fair to say Sancho is Utd’s Lukaku .. in other news we really could do with an experienced striker to help us out .. Broja is still very very raw..

 
If we can go for Higuain at a similar age then we can certainly go for Benzema !

Won't be on Clearlake's agenda though. I could see Ronaldo appealing to them however.
Just as well start building an over 30's team...probably would be more successful than the youngsters...just have to up the sub count per game to 5 per half 🤔

 
IMO we should go for a couple of experienced  players on loan deals. E.G Benzema & some may not like this but Henderson would be a good shout.

Benzema on a short loan makes sense.

Absolutely no way on earth we should ho anywhere near Henderson.
