Transfer discussion thread

In all seriousness, if Liverpool need a CM, they can have Jack Rodwell if we get Hendo back.

 

[FAITH]

Yep. Theres certainly something there to work with just have to de-Wenger him.

He's only 24 as well.
I'm surprised with CFC transfer targets ATM Barkley,Ox,lorente etc are so unlike CFC targets

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Played there in pre-season to good effect. Still playing as a winger/AM for the U-23s though

Would be a real waste. He's going to be a really good forward unless Wenger destroys him.

 

[Magma]

i would consider it unlikely that we choose to loan bony to hellas over selling him to swansea.

someone on twitter said palace have bid 23 mil for mangala cos they're not getting sakho.

 

[Established1870]

Reckon Barklay has shown more than Ox though, 35m overs for both.

Ox is more talented but Wenger has ****ed him over when he came over from Southampton and played him out of position all the time. Should still be a winger like he was at Southampton. Will take some time but I do see him becoming decent for Liverpool if he ends up there just because Klopp can turn turds into diamonds (see; Schmelzer)

I don't doubt that at all. Probably scored more last two seasons than the Ox has in his PL career. My reluctance is merely that we have a 3 game European ban for Alli and Lamela still injured. We need an AM for European match congestion and his injury (return date unknown) makes him a not now proposition. Reassess in January if he still hasn't moved.

Depends on whether we stick with the 3 at the back I think, he'll only play there as a RWB not a RB in a 4. Wouldn't be the first time Wenger has destroyed a talented player though.

Dont forget Drinkwater.

We are also chucking £70m at Juve for Sandro so its not like we arent trying to catch a big fish.

 

[Established1870]

Barkley, AOC and Drinkwater are all being targeted to stay in line with homegrown regulations. Chelsea wouldn't go for them in any other circumstances.

 

[Fwoy]

Anyone pulling an all-nighter tonight?

Yeah but Rodwell isn't a direct replacement, we're giving you a CM for a carbon rod

Yh seem like weird targets. Its like you guys have become us and we you.
Like when ellaine turned into George and George ellaine.
'Don't you see, I'm george' lol

 

[kangaspurs]

You brought up Spurs players as examples of why Wijnaldum is being made to look good yet you're now wondering why I'm bringing up Spurs... smh

If he wouldn't get a game for you, Poch wouldn't have tried to buy him last season just for him to turn you down and come to us now, eh. Worked out for the best, Wij turned you down, you bought Sissoko instead who wouldn't even get a game ahead of Grujic here

Cool, so you're just a troll, duly noted and ignored.

No, I just brought up 3 shit players. That 2 of them played for Spurs is because they were the first to come to mind.

LOL. So you think he would get a game ahead of Dembele or Wanyama in midfield or Eriksen, Alli or Son in the front 3? And I already know Sissoko is garbage, that's why I used him in my example. But at least I can admit when players that play for my team are just average or worse.

****ing hell, the melts because someone suggested that if you're spending 40m and 100k+ on wages on a CM it means they might challenge the all conquering Georginio Wijnaldum. They truly are remarkable.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

They don't call him Meltdude for nothing

We need depth and Englishmen. So understandably the targets arent going to be much chop.

How far behind the home grown rule are you guys? How many English players do you need?

Barkley will end up being a better buy for you than Ox

We only need 1 or 2.

Ox and Drinkwater would have been perfect.

If it's overpriced average english players you are after, then I think we have something to discuss....

why not just keep RLC and Chalobah?

 

[Cooldude]

Then Drinkwater and Barkley would be fine, both are fine additions to the Chelsea squad

 

[chef]

RLC needs to play week in and week out atm, he needs to work out where he fits on a football pitch. A loan is tge right thing for him.

Chalobah wasnt going to be anymore than a squad player, so he chose to be a starter somewhere else. Good decision by him.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Except Spurs doesn't play with Janssen Sissoko and the likes in you front 4, you have Kane and Alli, two of the best in the league. Then can I spin it around and say they're making Eriksen look good? (whom btw I rate very highly)

You can have your opinion about Wijnaldum but to put Ox ahead of him while spinning your reasons about why Wijnaldum is average is just double standards. Ox has played with some of the best attacking players in the league in his time and his end product is Jordan Ibe like, can never nailed down a position except at one where he doesn't wanna play at

That's some selling of your new recruit there "Jordan Ibe like". Money well spent

That's said I do agree Wijnaldum is better. Really wanted us to go for him, only to find out he visited Poch's house and said he wanted to play for us.... we baulk at his £80k p/w wages only to them give it to Sissoko what a balls up.

That said, he'd be better playing further advanced imo.

Well yes, Ox is the Jordan Ibe replacement we never bought

I agree that Wijnaldum's better near the box but he does his job well in midfield, very very useful player

He said overpriced average players not overpriced rubbish players
