Summer transfer window 2023

[Joey66]

Worked with Pienaar

Slightly - we should have never sold him first time around - still say his first spell with us was his best - plus the timeline was close - not many seasons etc

 

[Blue Parkender]

No takers for Balogan yet, I know he said he doesn't want to go on loan again but it's worth a go. A loan with option to buy if the price was OK.

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

ah yes, one that never plays and one that has never played in the PL

what was I thinking

As opposed to Maupay who played in the PL for two seasons?

They value him at £50mill. Can't see anyone paying that. Fulham are looking at him apparently.

Will be a last day of the window one I think with Arsenal bending over

We should be signing Lukaku on loan.

He’s probably on £250k a week, covering that would be £13m and I imagine he’s picky on which clubs he’d join now.

With players like McNeil, Danjuma, Harrison, Iwobi, and possibly Gnonto too we’d be creating all sorts of chances for us.

A guaranteed 15 goals a season.

More on Lukaku, last season he scored at a rate of a goal every 166 mins in the league for Inter. 3 goals in 177 mins for them in the CL.

Get him home, get him into shape, and we’d be flying with him and DCL as our main striker options.

He isn’t a “guarantee” of anything. Chelsea bought him thinking he’d guarantee 15-20 goals, he got 8 and they can’t get rid of him. Honestly burns my head out that people think we’d be signing the 2017 version of Lukaku. You say “get him into shape” like the 3 stone of muscle he’s packed on will just fall off him overnight too.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Just go and get Kudus for f sake. £35m does it.

 

[chippy1722]

Chelsea's best chance of not breaching FFP is selling players which they brought through their academy. Those players are:-

Trevor Chalobah
Levi Colwill
Reece James
Ian Maatsen
Armando Broja
Conor Gallagher
Lucas Bergstrom
Eddie Beach
Lewis Hall
Hudson-Odoi

who would you take?

Lewis Hall over all the rest, unfortunately Newcastle have bought him.

Spurs interested in him. Arsenal are not gonna loan us a player they want £55m for.

3 stone of muscle is fine for the type of player he is, which is a goal scorer.

It clearly isn’t, as it’s slowed him down significantly and one of his main assets was pace that enabled him to play off the shoulder of the defenders.

Not just that but it’s not even a given that Rom would entertain coming back here, especially with Moshiri still involved with the club

Ah yes, the guy who made racist comments towards his family. Forgot about that little minor fly in the ointment.

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

Kev should be looking for more young international prospects and lower league.

It'll be great if we get Gnonti but even better if we could get the next Gnonti at the 4 mill marks as opposed to 30 mill. There'll be some young South American diamond picked up by the likes of Brighton, Leeds or Southampton and we seemingly are never in that market. We need more Muller's.

When does the transfer window shut to dash all our dreams and put us out of our misery?!
