@Darko_Baba Ndiaye for £60m when we could easily have a ton of injuries is a sensible move. Neto can revert to doing nothing again, gittens end estevao could get a reoccurrence of their injuries or palmer. Our team are still made of glass so we need the numbers to get back into top 4.
@GeorgeSmileyOBE Go fuck yourself city. Pissed about for months with the sole reason to cause maximum disruption to Chelsea’s season. Reject until it’s over £130m fixed.
The market for midfielders will be even more crazy next year
@CFCDaily Considering they got more for a 30 year old… I would have expected £60+£5 or slightly less upfront but with a sell on clause as you know he will end up in Saudi in two years time for a chunky fee
@Blue_Footy@FabriceHawkins Villa getting a steal there. Lower guaranteed fee as a 30 year old Watkins. Favours galore from Chelsea to Villa this window. Undersell on Jackson and huge overpay on Rogers. Let’s hope Martinez comes in at a discount on the £12m
@Darko_Baba Food chain. We are now bottom feeders of the premier league. Can you imagine this happening under Roman. There are no replacements. Think what you want of Enzo. But there’s no one better that can be bought in 2026. Fuck Clearlake.
@ConnCFC There is no replacement - that’s the issue. Great fee. But doesn’t mean much if we have to overpay for absolutely not world class players like Scott for £80/£90m. If we sell. Our project isn’t to win the league. It’s to be close and minimise our cash outlay.
@CFCPys@Santi_J_FM@laloumance Villa would be demanding £80m if they were the selling club. We overpaid by £20/£30m on Rogers and are now selling Jackson on the cheap??
@CFCPys He made a call to leave after last seasons mess and now he knows he can double his money elsewhere and have a better chance of success. Our model won’t pay him market rate. So we are going to have to get used to our players leaving us for money and trophies.
@SJohnsonSport There’s no equivalent player in the market. Lots saying Roger’s will cover his goals, Wharton will cover his passing, breaking up play, but we can’t field 12 players. £120m is below his value in this market
@TheBlueDodger If savinho is going for £60/£65m Neto should be £75m+. Not convinced he’s truely worth that but that’s what the market is paying this window. one of our only non injury prone players.
@Potentsports@Darko_Baba@siphillipssport Baleba every time. Stats wise was elite level season before last and only dropped off when Brighton blocked his move and his head was elsewhere. Baleba x Caicedo. Unreal engine. Ball winning, breaking lines passing and running. Perfect combo for prem.
@CFCDaily@SamiMokbel_BBC He needs a contract extension before he goes. They will spend all season tapping him up to get him to ask to leave and join them permanently - constantly suggesting there’s no starting role for him at Chelsea. Same thing happened with colwill at Brighton.
