Weird timing to sell Carvalho, I thought he could really boost his value with a strong season under Slot.

He could but he also could get buried on the bench again. He still is going to have a lot of guys ahead of him on the depth chart even if they don’t add. This might just one of those deals where it’s a win win win for all parties
Protected themselves a bit with the sell-on clause; which as we just saw with Solanke never hurts. I do think they (still) need to bring in another attacking third player, especially if this goes through. They were overloaded on the left side, and if Carvalho goes any they bring in a central or right sided player that’s probably good business. Also some seem to think Anthony Gordon is still a possibility

That’s exactly who I thought of first. Carroll… then I remembered Coutinho easily worse

Chelsea are New York Rangers in the dead puck era

I am still curious on how it will affect them longterm. Obviously getting young south american for some decent sum is one thing but keeping their top homegrown players could be harder in the future if they keep recruiting massively and use them as pawn to stay PSR compliant.

65m for a guy not ever good enough to play for Liverpool is totally batshit to me

Solanke being the most expensive transfer of the summer is batshit indeed. One good season in the Championship and the PL at almost 27 yo shouldn't make you that freaking expensive.

Yo, Goober, where's the meat?
the NYR in the dead puck era were stockpiling dinosaurs, chelsea are ruining kids instead
i don't particularly rate him tbh
he was 21 when he left liverpool and is very evidently a late bloomer. it's like saying that ivan toney was 'not ever good enough to play for newcastle.' it's a silly take.
the fee for solanke is way higher than it should be, but 'he couldn't cut it at liverpool' is not why

a totally possible outcome (do i need to reiterate that i think it's a bad fee), but it would have nothing to do with him not making it at liverpool as a 20 year old LMAO
Not sure how I feel about this one. Just so long as he’s developed well enough. That said, it sounds like the kid has a bit of an attitude.

Strikers can be late bloomers. I think it’s certain possible he can score a bunch for Ange. My hot “hear me out” take is I would have taken him back but he wouldn’t want to be 3rd choice. My other hot take is if Tottenham are trying to dump Richarlison I’d take him for cover too, but certainly not at the price tag they’d want

Didn't Liverpool pay $36m for Salah, who wasn't good enough for Chelsea?
City spent $54M for DeBruyne who wasn't good enough for Chelsea. Wasted money, innit?
Speaking of RBs, was looking at the box scores from Portugal and was looking for a specific player. Boavista RB Pedro Malheiro was sold to Trabonzpor for grand total of… 2 million. Can’t believe Benfica didn’t make the rumored move for him at that price.
