I hope we've pivoted to other, better targets, but it has been awful quiet for us so far. Maybe they weren’t our main targets and we moved on from them? We’ve signed two key players in key positions and look like we’ll probably bring in Livramento. It’s also likely we’ll bring in a right sided CB so i don’t think the window will be that quiet really and there’s still another month to go anyway.

GeordieDazzler Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 If he wins the Balon D’or at Palace? Or will Palace have to stump up money if he wins it later in his career? Absolutely pointless clause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 17 hours ago, Viana said: The squad planning at Chelsea is bizarre. I thought they might slow down after January, or at least prioritize departures before signing more players. Assuming this goes through that's seven senior central defenders in their first team squad (Trevor Chalobah, Benoit Badiashile, Thiago Silva, Levi Colwill, Welsey Fofana, Malang Sarr and now Axel Disasi). Sarr will likely go on loan to Strasbourg. From there it's going to be very hard to share those minutes out, particularly if a certain pair develop momentum. I'm sure Brighton are pleased as they sniff a chance to pick up Colwill. I'd love us to bid for him but it sounds like we're going to try for Lewis Hall instead. Either way, it's kind of funny that we were pitched as being a problem for the transfer market when Chelsea are the ones spending vast sums. Fofana is a long term crock. Thiago is almost 39: Chalobah badiashile colwil Disasi With T. Silva in the squad for his leadership and emergency minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much FFP, probably a big a factor as any when we have to decide who our priority targets are when the ones we like become available. I'm sure we'd have liked Diaby at that price, but probably couldn't do him and Barnes in the same window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silva in the squad for his leadership and emergency minutes. That's kind of my point though. Right now they're still paying all seven players. Sure, Thiago goes next year, Fofana may be a crock, but that won't get you exemption from their salaries. You've also got players behind Colwill like Alfie Gilchrist and Bashir Humphreys that are going to struggle to get in because they've got a group of big money defenders on long term deals.

Their FFP ceiling is high and Todd seems to have long pockets. They have £200m+ worth of academy talent to sell and a conveyor belt of more. A lot of the players they’ve bought they can sell-on too. Yes the squad building is messy. But the Disasi transfer has some logic behind it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
