Pep Chavarria set to join Chelsea for around €19m plus add-ons. If all goes to plan, Chavarria will formalise his move this week. Clubs now in the process of finalising the move.🇪🇸
Unpopular point of view about Chelsea transfer window:
• Morgan Rogers – Not a first-choice England starter.
• Maxence Lacroix – Not a first-choice France starter.
• Barco – Not a first-choice Argentina starter.
• Welbeck – More of a last 15 minute option.
• Henderson – Mainly valuable for the dressing room.
• Chavarria – Yet to play for Spain.
• Wharton/Scott (rumoured) – Not in the current England squad.
• Emegha/Satpaev - Still has plenty to prove.
• Palestra - Just two senior Italy appearances.
• Quenda - Yet to earn a senior Portugal cap.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have sold:
× Cucurella - One of the best left-backs in the world, Spain's undisputed starter, European champion and Club World Cup winner.
× Enzo Fernandez (if leaving) - Argentina's undisputed starter and a World Cup winner.
And yet, strangely enough, we still believe this has been Chelsea's best transfer window under BlueCo.
I am really optimistic that Alonso will be the difference, what do you Chelsea fans think?
The Vini x Real isn't a salary fight. It's a multi-issue NEGOTIATION problem.
I took a course at Columbia on exactly this, and 5 concepts explain the whole deadlock.
I'll try to translate what I think it's actually happening at the table 🧵
@JacobSteinberg@AdamCrafton_ When have England ever controlled games/played good football? Which is why we lose against the very best. The players show it it time and time again. Spain/argentina don’t need magical coaching to suddenly make them play well
@maxi_151_Rma@CarefreeLewisG No it just means their not the answer to suddenly make england better than spain and argentina
if you can only handle 12% possession in these games you are not good enough
@Baddiel You think if we’d had Argentina’s or Spain manager we would beat Argentina or Spain? Seriously? We wouldn’t. We can’t keep the ball and play football at the pace of these teams. We simply aren’t as good.
