paulw66 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 34 minutes ago, Chelsea_Matt said: I like Axel. But Badashile, after a good start looks shocking and nowhere near what we need. I’m still concerned about a lack of leadership and physicality but I’ve a sneaky feeling Lavia might step up? Caicedo too - and the more I see of Big Les, I like. 🎯💀💯 When Badiashile first came into the team, I thought he was excellent. After his injury, he looks like half the player, and clumsy with it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original 21 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 “Agent commissions”… It has been reported that Omorodion will not be joining Chelsea after failing a medical. However, journalist Ben Jacobs has refuted that claim. Rather, according to Jacobs, Omorodion’s transfer to the Blues has fallen through because of agent commissions. Speaking on talkSPORT (12/08/2024 at 08:40), he said: “They do rate Samu very highly. There’s just been an issue at the last minute, some complications I think around the agent commissions. https://www.thechelseachronicle.com/transfer-news/the-real-reason-why-samu-omorodions-move-to-chelsea-is-now-off/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 2 hours ago, paulw66 said: Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. Kepa and Lukaku are the only ones (thus far) in recent times that we have been stuck with and unable to shift, when clearly we have been trying to. As far as I am aware (might be wrong) none of the others you mention we have actively TRIED to shift (not arguing whether we would or would not want to). Edit - the club took a loss to move on PEA and KK pretty quickly, but they were able to move them on at least. Didn't we get our money back on KK or am I mistemembering? Thought we fleeced the Saudis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
east lower Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Man City bought Alvarez for £14m. Won 2x PL’s and a CL whilst he was with them and have now just sold him for £80+ million. Fantastic business - That’s the way to do it! Very straightforward and a player that wanted to go and they get beyond top dollar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic business - That’s the way to do it! Very straightforward and a player that wanted to go and they get beyond top dollar. It's not 80m up front. The media report things differently for different clubs. they're also selling from a position of strength as they would have happily kept him. I think he'll be a big loss too, which is an obvious downside Edit - 11 goals and 9 assists from 2660 minutes last season in the PL. A contribution every 133 minutes (without being the penalty taker). It's a lot of money but they have lost a very good player.

His confidence in himself, the players that do want to be there and the backing he has from the club. They'll pick up a replacement for less than the difference of the price they bought him for and the £60+ million they're making on him. And the chances are his replacement will fulfill the role required. FWIW I think Athleti have overpaid for him by £20m. He's good, but not Diego Costa good.

If we had to sell Conor I’d be happy with Big Les and Caicedo doing all the dirty work - we have enough creatives to do their thing. 💀🎯💯 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loaned out for 2.5m last season, now sold for another £2m. Or another way of looking at is would as it funding a £20m purchase for a year from an amortisation perspective. I'd have it very low on the list of things to complain about, if on a list at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xceleryx Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Atletico need to sell someone to help cover the costs of signing both Gallagher and Alvarez, hence they dependance on us signing Samu. Worth noting that Atletico were also chasing another midfielder that plays within La Liga (name escapes me) and would be cheaper. No idea if they were wanting both him and Gallagher, but it may also be something to note in all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
