Winter 2025 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

Chelsea supporter view suggests Disasi is another Carlos. Last ditch merchant and poor on ball. Chelsea is a tough place to succeed so maybe he can calm down with us. I can't recall much of him against us.

Disasi and Foyth were hardly anywhere near the top of our prospective RCB options for last 6-12 months.

Chelsea supporters would say Paolo Maldini wasn't good enough for them. Never listen to Chelsea supporters.

The buy option for Emiliano Buendía to Bayer Leverkusen after initial loan will be worth around €20m.

Buendía sign new one year deal at Aston Villa ahead of loan move to Leverkusen.

 £ 16.8m It is a good deal as long as we get a reasonable loan fee

You can’t say Monchie isn’t trying

He’s 56 so they’d have a point.

We can't loan two players from the same club, so we would have to buy one of them

£44.5million
Chelsea signed Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid in a deal worth £44.5million ($58m). The Portugal forward has agreed a six-year contract with the option of an additional 12 months. Atletico also have a sell-on clause as part of the deal

Well, we wouldn't be loaning both him and Disasi. And it feels unlikely we'd be about to chuck £50m or so at them for him.

[Rigadon]

Perhaps we shouldn’t start a Felix thread just yet.  I mean, is he actually any good at football? I’ve never seen him actually play (but feel like we’ve tried signing him at least 10 times already)!

Felix is the new Benni McCarthy.

Since before Mings injury, now it has ramped-up.

[Toronto Villa]

Felix is the new Benni McCarthy.

Or Carlton Palmer. We will be linked with him every window until he retires. Unlike Carlton Palmer he’s a brilliant player. But he wanted to join Chelsea in full knowledge they had a million players already at his favoured position. Emery absolutely loves him so that’s the only reason we keep chasing him like a spotty teenage boy after the girl that won’t say yes.

Didn't Chelsea just sign Felix last summer? What's happening that they're willing to sell him already? Was it some kind of financial trickery involving the Gallagher transfer?

He's wanting to be let out. Typical of cats.
