This thread should last us until the window opens.

How much total business (incoming and outgoing) do we think Chelsea does? I think we break a billion.

Probably. Inevitable that we see at least ten sales, and there is already some Lavia + GK buzz.





Azpilicueta, Mendy/Kepa , Koulibaly, Chalobah, Pulisic, Havertz, CHO, Lukaku, Ziyech, Aubameyang, RLC all seem more likely to depart than stay. Can’t imagine that there is much more than 200MM in sales there given contracts, wages, form.

Cucurella, Kante, Kovacic, Gallagher, Chuk & D Fofana (loans), Zakaria/Felix decisions… all also not clear. My guess is that they will set a high price on Gallagher and tell teams to meet it or they will keep him as a squad option.

Yeah, I think they are definitely going to push for Lavia. I've seen reports that pressure won't be added to Potter until he has a full pre-season, which makes sense. Going to be a lot going out the door too. Gallagher was previously discussed, but RLC and CHO seem like certainties to go too.

I wonder if Chilwell strongly considers the recent City links if we don’t make CL.

It would be a downgrade, but there is a certain Canadian LB who is a Chelsea fan who could come in?

Rumors are they also want to make a commercial signing and that would probably fit the bill if Chilwell departed. No idea where a commercial signing would play at this point, unless an ST is available. Osimhen does not scream commercial.

I think you're low balling here, I'm sure you can get at least 250 for all those guys. Some of them still have value, are young-ish etc, plus there's like 11 of them. Guys like Gibbs White go for 30 mil in the Premier League.

Maybe? I see the group of Koulibaly, Azpi, Auba being worth 10MM each at most. I think the rest of the players are pretty easy to come up with estimated values for.

Really the big confusion one would be Lukaku, considering he has only played 400 minutes.

Auba is worth 0$. You might pay a team to take him.
Koulibaly Wage are insane..he has 0 value.

problems with Chel$$$ea guys are the wages they are and and they are all flop struggling in mid-table.

They also paid insane amount for big IF or 1 week wonder... big risk there.

There’s a bunch of guys who are worth something. But they’re also going to run into the fact that some won’t want to go to places who want them, and other clubs know they have to sell. You can’t just flog off 15 dudes without taking a major wash on some.

3-4 of those on that list they might be lucky to just find a taker for their salary.

Well let’s go through those guys name by name.

No question Azpi will have takers in Spain as a veteran backup. Almost went to Barca and has had links with both Madrid clubs as well.

Chalobah has had interest in Italy, is not on big wages, and is reportedly ok with moving on if the opportunities aren’t there.

Mendy is on low wages. Kepa’s are high but i don’t think he has ever opposed taking a paycut. My guess is its Mendy who goes because he wants big wages and term and we don’t want to give him that.

CHO, reads roughly the same as Chalobah. Bigger wages but prefers opportunity.

Havertz / Bayern.

Ziyech wants out.

Pulisic has had a decent amount of murmurs. I don’t know why anyone would want someone who cries when he doesn’t start and is super injury prone, but if you think you can get 2020 bubble Pulisic 24/7, I guess it makes sense? He’s had links in Italy & with Newcastle. I guess there is the marketing aspect.

They won’t demand enough for RLC to be prohibitive.

Koulibaly, Auba, Lukaku are the ones where I agree - it will be tough unless they are basically frees and told they will be banished to the reserves.

My guess is Lukaku gets another loan.

I'd love for Kai to go to Bayern, but I'm not sure they'll ante up more than ~40M. Their interest seems to be more in getting a bargain than necessarily getting Kai.

Havertz has only been linked to City & Bayern and both were not strong links either.

And given his style of play and position, I’m not sure how many more teams will emerge (if any) as strongly interested.

Tbh I haven't read a more strangely jealous comment here in years. Your team is in first place and you're spending time shitting on other teams signing great players lmao.

Might be dramatic from Naylor in regards to their being a fracture between clubs but we shall see come the summer.

But Klopp says he isn’t too loyal…



This may not look bad on the surface, but this is going to look real bad very soon

That is extremely generous. He’s not coming to Liverpool. Jude isn’t either
