Transfer: 2023 Summer Transfer Rumors and Discussion - Closed Window Edition

[JeffreyLFC]

Hazard played in 76 games and won 8 trophies!

One of the most impressive transfers ever!

I guess that make Mariano Diaz the goat!

 

[Peen]

Ugarte to Chelsea

 

[maclean]

just keep spending, just keep spending

So was Hazard the worst transfer in History?

Does Morata count if we add all his transfers together?

In all seriousness it'd be Hazard, Coutinho, or Griezmann I'd have to say.

Ugarte to Chelsea

My is broken.

[Tony Romo]

Bruh

You guys got an in form 8/10 in MacAllister for like 2/3rds of what Mount’s fee will be and probably half the wages.

I love Mount but if I were an LFC fan, I would be pretty happy with that start.

Though, you guys need to make two more MF signings while we need one more (unless Kante stays).

Are people actually surprised that big clubs are still interested in Kai?

 

[Tony Romo]

No, I think he will do much better away from Chelsea. Just hope that isn’t the main attacker transfer.

Also depends on what we pay for him.

I think Kai’s never going to work here, at least in the short term. But with proper runners and talent in front of him with him playing in behind, he will do really well.

He doesn’t have any attitude problems.

The Ancelotti quote makes total sense.

I just question whether or not a deal will go through because they will be buying him to be a bench backup option and Chelsea will demand a huge fee.

I can’t imagine Madrid giving out 100MM or close to it after spending 120 on Bellingham.

Yeah if Chelsea are holding out for 100M then poor Kai won't be going anywhere. But 50-70M? I can see a team paying that for him even if they don't see him as one of the first names on their team-sheet.

FWIW Bellingham & Brandt have been great together for BVB since Dortmund got them a quality holder and CB partnership. Kai & Jude could work in a similar way with Cama or Tchou at the 6 behind them.


Plus false-9 Kai can work if he's surrounded by wingers that can score goals and fly into the spaces he opens up like Volland / Diaby once did, Nkunku would, and Vini / Rodrygo / Adeyemi...whom they've also been linked to...could.

Those are both fair concerns. If he's you're second best buy and you spend less than 75M on him, I can see it working out great for you.

Just go get the best midfielder in Portugal in Otavio.

Hazard not even close. Coutinho also not even close for second.

Havertz is not worth more than what Chelsea paid for him.

 

[Live in the Now]

Kaka especially considering this was before the market inflated.

Speaking of OG-Nkunku...

I was debating putting him up there but his was pretty injury related IIRC. Whereas Hazard just never really tried it seems.

 

[Peen]

Hazard not even close. Coutinho also not even close for second.


Havertz is not worth more than what Chelsea paid for him.

Probably not. But he’s still got good value remaining with two years left on the contract still.

But all the reports are that they will command a massive fee. He wasn’t part of the rumoured exit list.

Especially given the recent reports that we might not be signing a striker this summer.

Edit: I lied. Chelsea reporters have been saying Poch is pursuing Fraudtaro.

Are there any huge Lautaro fans on here? If so, why?

IIRC SEPH is, and I think for the lolz

Turkish sources are linking Arda Guler to Newcastle & Ajax. Will be interesting to see him take the next step.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Pretty much confirmed he’s gone. Only thing left is Madrids statement.

Madrids attackers:
Vini
Rodrygo


And there it is.

Good f***ing riddance.

Hopefully he does not go to Montréal

And there it is.

You lot probably came to a deal with him though. He's probably getting some sort of payout.

Now please go pay 50-70 million for Havertz.
