We have a squad full of assets, some of which they may be looking to buy in the future. Yeah that Drinkwater deal really cemented the good relationship….. 1

Pliskin Posted 28 June 2022 Posted 28 June 2022 Considering Brendan’s connections with Chelsea I can see this one happening.

I do think we'll be one of the clubs doing the most business come transfer deadline day, which scares me as we aren't good under pressure at working multiple deals. Bar the Silva debacle I truly cannot remember us being involved with multiple deals on deadline day Ric? I'd say for quite a few years we've been active very early in the window and ruthlessly efficient at identifying targets and getting them over the line! If I've missed something that backs up why your 'scared' mate I honestly would like to know what 🤷♂️ What is really ridiculous, imo, is the blind panic over transfers when the window only opened on the 10th of June, most international transfers won't be sorted / confirmed officially until July 1st and the deadline day isn't until 1st of September. It's the 28th of June not 31st of August! 1

Our interest is well known from the January transfer window. That did seem to be what Top suggested would happen with his comments at the end of the season. I think we all forget there is always a domino effect to these things.
Deeg67 Posted 28 June 2022 Posted 28 June 2022 I’ve still yet to see a compelling reason why Chelski is supposedly letting this boy go. I mean, people are suggesting reasons but none of them make any sense.

filbertway Posted 28 June 2022 Posted 28 June 2022 Definitely gonna be a swap between Man Utd and Chelsea for who is the biggest joke club from the big 6. An american that hasn't got a clue in charge of signings, it's gonna be a thing of beauty. 1

It's the 28th of June not 31st of August! We have had a few deadline days where we were working on a number of deals and didn't get them done, which is inevitable but I'd not be confident. To be fair we got Benkovic and Soyuncu on deadline day in 2018, so maybe I'm being harsh.
RowlattsFox Posted 28 June 2022 Posted 28 June 2022 No way Chelsea strengthen us without us paying a premium. I have no idea if this kid is good enough, but it is sort of profile we should be looking at.

It's whether they consider us a potential rival? They are happy to sell to lower prem or internationally for reasonable fees but I'd imagine they'll want big money to deal with us. I'm probably over-estimating us as a rival but I'd be surprised if any of the big 6 risked strengthening us. 1

I'm not sure they will have that on their radar, they have lost three senior figures at the club in recent weeks, and they have a new owner who made himself sporting director. Got a feeling they are going to change to a bit of a mad house. They have to go into the market and buy a couple of CL quality CBs, they are going to have to fund those.
JimJams Posted 28 June 2022 Posted 28 June 2022 They won't care about us. They'll be looking up, not down. 1

Will he see us as offering him enough starts ?? He has seen how lamptey excelled at Brighton and ghehi at palace (both being first choice).

I think he's more likely to get starts with us than you might think. We have to accept that Evans needs to be managed carefully given his problems last season - they seem long term issues rather than small niggles. Brighton are probably our main threat if Colwill were to leave Chelsea though. They play 3 at the back sometimes, and Colwill would easily slot in there. Arguably they need an LCB more than we do, what with Dan Burn having left in January.

Wonder how much of that had to do with Roman knowing his time was coming to a end prior to the War and sanctions, he didn't visit the Country for 3 years until October 21. During that time they scrapped the proposed redevelopment. 1
mozartfox Posted 29 June 2022 Posted 29 June 2022 Southampton in for him according to TalkSPORT. Must be true.

James and Mount are rare cases, they’ve pissed away so much talent over the years. 2
