We are apparently linked to a Spanish winger playing in Croatia https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/transfer-news/dani-olmo-to-chelsea-transfer-17501901

Apparently he wants to go to Barcelona. 

Coutinho is another player who is small of stature ... we have too many midgets already so hope we pass and prioritise some world class 6+ footers to sprinkle through our spine instead ....

I'm a no on Ake. 180 is just too short for an elite centre back. Particularly when you're joining a team that already has issues with crosses and set pieces and a goal keeper anchored to his line. I'd love a left footed option in our centre backs but they need to be closer to 190 for me.

The hair must be 5cm on it's own surely, so that would make him 185 ?

He has a good leap so I think he is effectively "taller" than his actual height, but agree a couple of ball-playing sturdy 6 foot 3 or 4 chaps wouldn't go amiss in the centre of our defence.  Zouma with passing ability basically ...

Totally agree. Largely this is the reason everyone has been after Koulibaly for about 4 years. He's 195 and passes well. 

Same reason Conte threw the toys from the pram when we didn't attempt to sign VVD. Complete all round centre backs. They are as rare as hens teeth. Easy to forget how good JT was on the ball as well as being a beast of a defender.

Gary Cahill was also good on ball when he first started at Chelsea. obviously Ricky Carvalho too. Moving on...

if I look at who we could buy that is the selling club will sell this window and who is at least somewhere round the chelsea standard:

Ake

Zaha

and there must be a left back  

personally I wouldn’t want a striker of any lesser quality than Werner  and even he might be a gamble  Strikers and goals drive team morale  the team has to believe on the No 9  

 

January is a hard window to get quality as teams want a premium for them and Marina is a tough negotiator. If we get anyone it will be late in the window.

I would not be surprised if we do not sign anyone, maybe signed for ahead of the summer window on loan back like Pulisic.

I Look Forward To Any Deal With The "Within 48Hours" Tag Attached

I think we will get someone, and most likely Ake (or a left back) and Moussa Dembele. 

Koulibaly, Telles, Chilwell, Sancho, Ousmane Dembele, etc just isnt happening in January. 

I Look Forward To Any Deal With The "Within 48Hours" Tag Attached

I think something like this will happen in 48 hours.

I cant see why we dont do the deal akin to what we did with Pulisic?

Just sign them now, and loan them out at the club they're currently at until the end of the season and they come join our squad in the summer.

Because we need players right now, not just next season. I wasn't even a fan of that Pulisic deal, I actually thought he would have been much off if he had joined us in January. He would have been able to adapt to the league better and he may have been a more consistent player for us this season.

**Who gives a monkey's**

Apart from *ahem* yourself, searching this forum for the term "Stinkwater" gives a couple of interesting results. First used by a long since banned misogynist calling himself JJP, and later by an equally unwelcome member known as "Enygma".

And now there's you.And

Next you'll be telling me you don't come click on dodgy links.

He was a big part of a title winning team. It’s clear his head is in a bad place at the moment so obviously he’s not doing well.

He’s never been good enough for us so I don’t really see why you feel enraged about it all, based on your username, Dross Stinkwater. If there’s anyone you should be enraged at it’s the Chelsea board for allowing the transfer to happen. Not Danny’s fault.

I am enraged at the Chelsea board. This signing was arguably worse than Bakayoko's and that was utterly awful.

We just need to sell off this deadwood instead of keeping them on loaning them out over and over again like we used to

So you get banned for the umpteenth time for being a twat, create a new "witty" user name showing the exact same childish w**ky nonsense as all the previous times you joined, and then wonder why everyone in here thinks you are a complete f**kwit.

 

I thought there was some rule about banned members not being allowed back in because they were arseholes.

Excuse me? I have never been "banned" here before, im a new member of this forum

Oh don't be such a dick.  Even Stevie Wonder can see you posting the same argumentative sh*te as at least 2  previous banned incarnations with your Oscar Wilde level of humourous user name selections.

Off to ignore you go.

I think you mentioned sad life and a mid-life crisis as one of your previous user names as well.  Seems to be a fall back witticism.

 

For what it's worth, you are the sort of deadwood poster that I would be happy for the mods to dispose of, "youf"

I think they let him stick around so even some of our more mentally challenged posters can feel good about themselves.
