Summer 26 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

[jwarry]

Chelsea really flipping their transfer strat on it's head. In for Welbeck according to Ornstein.

All over BBC now, it’s just baffling.  They value Jackson at £60m who is on their books and want to replace him with 35 year old Welbeck whose value is now pretty negligible?!? I don’t understand it

It seems a bit like spin the wheel and let’s hope we get lucky.

Maybe but let's be honest, we're jealous as fcuk.

Well I would be if I could understand it.  If we sold Watkins for 50m and replaced him with Welbeck as a Chelsea fan would I be jealous?

Nope.

Jealous? I hope not.

I’m curious how they manage it given we have similar sized stadiums. They’re better at the multi club model than us, and sell from the academy really well.

On the flip side they have a £1bn debt that needs to be paid soon (2032?) and no stadium to show for the money invested.

Therefore I’d take villa’s position overall given the choice.

i don’t think i am jealous of any other club. and ask the question every day how can you support any other club

[eamonn]

Not jeal of Danny in particular but their largesse in buying next season's title.

[Halfway to Moseley]

I’m old enough to remember when Chelsea were seen as being a similar sized club to QPR, and the notion of them being in any big five or big six would have been laughable. Stamford Bridge was a shithole with a dog track and Reliant Robins parked next to the pitch.

They did well to speculate to accumulate at the right time, by chucking a big contract at Gullit and a few other foreign stars, which in turn attracted Ambramovich to throw his dirty oligarch billions into the club. And the rest is history.

None of this is anything to be jealous of. Apart from all the trophies of course.

A Sandwell Town mate reckons they are having Hemmings.
