January 2023 Transfer Rumours, Discussions and Done Deals Thread

Sander Berge? If we don't do a deal Fulham or Newcastle will.
If Lange had any Scandinavian influence now is the time

Why in the holy name of fuck would we go for him when we've already got three better versions of what he does to cover two spots?

6 ft 5 in and can be utilised.  I think hes decent and gettable and has resale.
The only player close to him is Dendoncker and I prefer Berge.

Have you not watched the last few weeks take place? You'd sign Berge because you prefer him to the other backup defensive midfielder?

Shelvey and Jorginho

Fellows that were in the mood
Don't just stand there, let's get to it
Strike a pose, there's nothing to it

come on folks, you can't let this go with giving it some credit.

I'm surprised Thuram didn't get a move after the World Cup.

You want to buy a player on deadline day as a replacement for our fourth/fifth choice central midfielder, who we only signed a few months ago for £13m?  I'm not saying Berge is a bad player (I advocated for him myself after Sheff Utd were relegated), but what he brings to a team is absolutely not a priority for us right now.  If we're going for more defensive-minded midfielders, it has to be agile athletes who can play on the half-turn like Kamara - that's clearly how emery wants his pivots to play, not as big units like Berge (and even Dendoncker to a certain extent).

I would take Bamford.  There I have said it.  If Anwar comes back there could be trouble mind.

What you do in the privacy of your own bedroom is your own business...

In for Houssem Aouar apparently

Cheers Chris, I'm not in it for the money or fame but a little appreciation goes a long way

Idiot in Sky Sports saying the period over which Chelsea pay for Fernandez will have FFP  implications.
Twat.

It's true.

That’s not how amortisation works , it’s the price paid divided by the term of the contract. The period you take to buy the player is irrelevant.

Yeah Paulie... you thicko

It is amortisation I am talking about and that's what they are talking about when they refer to 'how Chelsea pay' for him, not literally when they write the cheques - how they amortise it.

Ive just put Sky Sport News deadline day where are they as panel isn't in studio?
Some revolving door as well clever symbolism.

I see Emery getting players with flexibility and avility to play a variety of positions.  Why would Fulham and Newcastle want him as they too have midfielders.
The answer is he brings something to a team.

I suspect it's just something lost in translation. A £100m transfer doesn't matter when it's paid for, eg 3 installments over three years, other than for the buying club's own cash flow. It's the purchase price over the contract length that's in the FFP calculation.

I wonder if we're getting Guendouzi as Football Insider suggested. Maybe it's Sanson being difficult that's holding things up?

THat is what I meant, they say "how long they take to pay" but they're actually talking about how they amortise it. It's just loose language for your average TalkSport listener.
