Random Rumours

Wilson is one of the best finishers in the league and would be great for us.  The problem is he's so injury prone he's lucky to play half the games in a season and at 31 he's not going to get any better in that regard.   At that price is it worth it just as a squad player?  Not sure.

Yes it’s worth it. He would be our first choice striker when fit and I’m pretty sure he’d get a fair few. I can’t see us getting anyone better in January for that price, especially not with PL experience.

Get it done!

Agreed. He would be a great option to bring in for a few years and might be a good mentor for some of the younger attacking players. Injury record is a noted concern but hasn't stopped us in the past. In fact if anything that is probably why we are linked with him

 
If our major business for a striker is going to be in the summer I’d probably go with what we have until then.

If Broja goes then maybe someone could come in but we already have Washington. Jackson and Fofana who’s on loan.

If Jackson and Washington are going to make it at Chelsea then they have to be given opportunities and where we are right now is the ideal time as we aren’t going to challenge the top four or five.

We want to sell, clubs not offering what we are asking for. Broja, Chalobah maybe Gallagher too, will go late on the 31st with big question marks. 

I don't expect any signings.

 
French media doing the usual Jonathan David to Chelsea story. 

Modern day Hulk to Chelsea Story.

Fantastic player, but a walking sick note.

But the plus side is Callum Wilson only needs one leg to be an upgrade on Broja. As a short term stop gap we could do worse.

you wouldn't bet on Broja being a better player than Wilson in 3 years time so at £18m it's not a bad move mid term.  Always good to have a player on the bench who can grab a goal.

But I just dismiss any rumour of us signing a player over 25 those players aren't on Boehlys football manager filters.

I doubt Washington will get too many opportunities this season, or we would have seen him feature more now, while Jackson is away.

 
Wilson is apparently a real option if our buy obligation of Broja is met.

Given Wilson's injury record you put that with our medical team and we will get a player that makes Reece James look as reliably fit as Gallagher.
