Random Rumours

Man Utd are ready to make a move for Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer as Fernandes’s replacement. The Blues are open to a sale and Palmer has not ruled out leaving Stamford Bridge. (Source: FootballTransfers)

Chelsea are also prepared to make a bid for Bellingham if they sell Palmer. (Source: Defensa Central)

 
Saw Paqueta links. He's defiantly got that Chelsea sending off from nothing, turns up once every four games DNA running through his veins.

 
Same news as last January recirculating.

Chelsea will work with Rosenior on transfer strategy but they do not intend on buying anyone in January, with much of their planning being for the summer. If any market opportunity arrives on deadline day, they may act.
Normally I'd agree not to act too hastily in January, but we know all we are going to get in the summer are more Gittens, Garnachos, mid table strikers, and 20 year old defenders. With or without Champions League.

Protest needs to make waves.

 
Rumours that Villa are interested in Tammy Abraham and Connor Gallagher. Spurs interested in Connor too.

I liked Gallagher, but can't see any way he'd get into this team any more, really. Be a shame to see him play for another PL side. But I expect he will sooner or later if he wants to try and get back into England squad.
I'd take Conner for Enzo anytime.

 
How are we still not signing proper CBs yet?
Even if BlueCo thought we needed one (and they don't, as we saw when Colwill got injured) we would probably need to sell to buy ... 10 centre backs already on the books (Fofana, Chalobah, Adarabioyo, Disasi, Badiashile, Colwill, Acheampong, Hato ... and then out on loan we have Mamadou Sarr and Aaron Anselmino)

We need to buy CBs, sell to buy is some myth the SD cooked up because they fecked up royally hoarding players

We've tried unsuccessfully to sell Disasi and Badiashile before. I doubt much has changed there. We could probably find a buyer for Chalobah and I suspect he will leave in the summer as he will generate pure profit. We might be able to offload Tosin too as we don't need a big fee given he was a free transfer. We'd have to take a big loss on Fofana. Maybe he is worth one more season if he continues to strengthen after his injuries. Sarr might join the full squad next season. Haven't heard much about Anselmino's form on loan.Hato, Acheampong and Colwill will all hopefully stay.

Anselmino has done well when he is actually available, but he is another young player that has injury issues ... only 564 minutes of action so far at Dortmund.

Imagine Sarr will be similar level to what we have already.

 
West Ham apparently want Jorgensen and Disasi ... would be a result to offload both, albeit with some trepidation as to the SD's choice of replacement(s)

I suspect we will make a loss on both. Not sure that Disasi is any worse than Badiashile if he is played as a CB. He did ok in that role when on loan at Villa.

I'm half expecting Sharman-Lowe to be the squad replacement for Jorgensen LOL

The comments from the Bolton fans are worth a read LOL

Apparently we now also want to sign a centre back ... presumably in place of Tosin who can then fill Disasi's role in the U-21s !

SO WE ARE GOING TO BUY/LOAN A NEW DEFENDER ANY IDEAS?

Jérémy Jacquet (20, CB RENNES), Jacobo Ramon (21, CB COMO) are being linked (more kids)

how about ERIC DYER? 🤣
I think anybody we sign (presumably more youngsters) will be agreements to sign in the summer. I don't see anybody joining the squad this window except the odd player returning from loan perhaps.

Teddy Sharman-Lowe had a good loan at Bolton and probably won't be a downgrade on Jorgenson (not that is a very hug bar)

Read the comments from Bolton fans at the link in my post (added link via edit).

Loan seems far from successful unfortunately ... I think this Kinsella post is BlueCo PR spin.

 
Rumour mill has it that we're after a CB this window.

It's pretty obvious that we need 1, maybe even 2 CBs, as it is probably the worst position in the squad.

Fofana is good but can't play every game.

Trev is ok. Not good enough to be the main man.

Tosin and Badiashile. Well...

Josh is too young.

As obvious as it is that we need a new CB, I am actually hoping we don't sign one because we know it's going to be some 20 year old no one has heard of before. We might as well recall Sarr or Anselmino.
