I don't think he's going anywhere either. I know it won't happen, but if I were Maresca I would bring him back into the squad. Veiga doesn't look amazing yet, so having another option at LB isn't a terrible idea, but also he has a lot of experience compared to a lot of our players, which is something we're lacking in IMO.

That's my assumption, that the club know/are expecting a transfer ban soon. Welcome to the forum, as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original 21 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Okay. It’s gone 4pm and we still haven’t signed a striker. This is getting worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's an obligation then we've signed him but pushed the money back a year and have to hope it relly does work out and I'd be concerned. If it's an option, then I think it's a good deal. Be interested to see what happens with his wages as well, presume we'd be asking Man United to cover some of them during the loan period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lump Of Celery Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Sanch could make sense if we aren't getting Toney or Osimhen. Nkunku and Felix can both play up front, albeit not the out and out Number 9. Transfer ban next summer wouldn't be the worst thing tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can actually see it happening too. We’re paper thin in midfield and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Veiga having to play there sooner rather than later which means cover at LB will soon be needed.

Last time the club had a transfer ban, it utilised the academy tallent and gave them a chance to prove themselves. oh yes silly me, the clubs new sporting department sold all the academy tallent for book keeping purposes.

Original 21 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Looks like Toney is almost certainly going to the Saudi club. So they can’t also be signing Osimhen as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueboy1905 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Just think in a few hours time we could be going into the new season with Jackson as our only striker come winger and with players such as Sterling Chilwell and Trevor hanging about like a bad smell. Way to go the sporting directors of Chelsea FC. We have actually regressed as a team and it's cost us millions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, I take the point to a degree but struggle to stretch being able to say any of them succeeded in proving themselves by going on to be first team regulars. And at their new clubs they've not particularly set the world alight. Only Guehi and Tomori stand out from those days as being regrettable academy sales while Abraham, Christensen, Hudson-Odoi, RLC and Anjorin have depreciated - remarkably so in a couple of those cases - perhaps proving that the sale was likely right at the time . If it's only 2 'mistakes' from 7, I find it hard to criticise the club's decisions. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
