Bid planned: Chelsea to launch €150m transfer offer for "...

Chelsea are reportedly planning a major €150million summer transfer window move for Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham.

Politely wouldn’t touch him with a barge pole. No Thank You.

Doubtful

I hope you're right, but you just never know with our owners and SDs.

The Only reason for buying Jude Bellingham would be IF we were selling Cole Palmer. Jude seems happy in Madrid. Palmer seems happy with us. Young blokes earning a fortune and enjoying their careers and not feeling 'homesick'.

Except Bellingham is a twat.

If Enciso were playing like this and we didn't own him we'd spend 80m on him.

Having a belter of a season for Strasbourg.

Completely forgot about him.

That's promising hopefully he benches Enzo next season.

Not sure their position is that comparable.

PL is a couple of levels ahead, and there is the low block issue

Wasn’t he great his first season for Brighton?

Yeah to be fair. That was 4 yrs ago. All the plaudits he is receiving is based on French league cup games. In the league he has only 1 goal and 2 assists.

Yildiz signed new deal.

Looking forward to who this bum attacker they intend on signing. Who am I kidding. It’ll be a 19 year old sent to Strasbourg.

It will be Emegha in, although Rosenior fell out with him didn't he.

No. He said he thought Strasbourg was in Germany and it upset the club.

I want to go on record saying Emegha will be worse than Guiu if he comes here next season. He looks incredibly average even on these youtube highlight reels which can make Mudryk look like Hazard.

If we were to bring enciso barco and panichelli over during the summer it would be pretty low risk

WE could have a Enciso. Barco, Fernandez midfield

Forget Barco. Maybe in a season or two. Let him run the midfield for Strasbourg.

Anderson or Wharton are what we need.

Enciso I'd bring in as well to compete with Enzo.

@BordeauxBlue your thoughts on Emegha please mate. And Sarr if you don't mind.

Well hard to say how well they'll do in the prem

Panichelli has been a more complete player than Emegha. I'd take him if I had the choice.

Sarr looks quality, but he will have much tougher tests playing for Chelsea. I'd still rather give him a chance than watch Badiashile, Disasi or Tosin cost us games time after time.

Enciso? Of Brighton? This is a joke right? Fans are reading too much into his performance in the cup competitions. He has been average for Strasbourg. 1 league goal and 2 assists all season in the league.

Agree! Club bought him because they panicked about other PL teams signing him. Issue is they are being vague, and as things stand probably having second thoughts. We all know we have signed him, but once Panichelli started scoring freely they announced it was a pre-agreement.

Won’t be surprised if they cancel it outright since he has been virtually injured all season. Personally don’t even see where he fits. Guiu isn’t getting games, and Delap is still finding his feet. If Pedro was to score 15 league goals playing the No 9 role, you would be crazy to pull him back into a backup No 10 role. And then there is Jackson. We didn’t need a “3rd CF” in Jackson this season, see Guiu, and we sure don’t need an Emegha if Pedro and Delap are you options. There is also those bizarre Alvarez links, whose wages we won’t pay.

The best business we can do all summer is worming our way out of the Emegha transfer. The pelters Delap takes on here, Emegha will make him look like prime Drogba in comparison.

Emegha, Neto & Gittens lining up on the opening day of the 26/27 campaign as the forward line… what dreams are made of.

So Julian Alvarez is apparently off this summer and a number of clubs are interested. Chelsea are one of the clubs in the running to signing him.

Only we decided late on in the window we are happy with Emegha and willing to give him an opportunity. A disappointing end to the summer transfer window once again but at least we had some excitement along the way. And you never know Jamies' 17 year old cousin Jimmy Noebuy Gittens could turn out to be a superstar. He did score 3 goals in the U16s don't you know.

He hasn't really played regularly this season until November to be fair. He was out with a knee injury.

I don't know maybe its just me who always rated him highly since his first season at Brighton, but according to BordeuxBlue he's been doing extremely well for Strasbourg now that he's fully fit.
