Polarboy 2311 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 (edited) Maybe Maresca has spoken to him, actually wants him, and has given assurances about playing time etc, but as a Newcastle journo was saying it's likely that Chelsea upper management see him largely as a free asset given their financial issues, as opposed to a piece of the jigsaw of their first 11. If it's the latter then Chelsea are welcome to him. Unfortunately this could have major consequences in terms of the level of attacking players we can go after, given it's unlikely we'll find a bargain and or free transfer on the level of Tosin, and will therefore have to spend 30 to 50 million if Howe is set on getting two centre half's with Botman and Lascelles out until at least Christmas.

Kid Dynamite 6816 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 I imagine he's Chalobah's replacement. They need to sell him or Gallagher by the end of the month iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointing given Lloyd Kelly has a worse injury record than Wilson He's had two bad seasons back to back, but I wouldn't write him off to be as bad or worse than Wilson at this stage of his career.

Polarboy 2311 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Just read that Tosin was coached by Maresca when he was at Citeh, so it's maybe fair enough that he went given he had a previous working relationship with him and he won't have to move house. Whether Maresca lasts more than a season or even few months at Chelsea is separate issue though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isegrim 9577 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 I fucking hate Chelsea. Those players simply going for the big money clubs can fuck off, too. He will probably rot on their bench after they sign another dozen of defenders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah in fairness that is a concerning amount of time on the treatment table. But given it's a free transfer it's much more viable in terms of taking a chance on his future availability. If we had been paying 30 to 50 million in a transfer fee I'd be less sanguine about it given the other areas in the team that need strengthening. And that's the point really. Do we take a chance on Kelly's fitness in order to facilitate spending elsewhere. Edited June 1 by Polarboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 19293 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Well that's it. What will this do to our transfer strategy now? Considering he was a free and we need a CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 3967 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Shame since he was on a free. Sounds like he's purely motivated by money, which I don't blame him for but I will hope his career falls to pieces at Chelsea. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 6227 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 He doesn’t have to move house and uproot his kids (if he has any). European football on the cards and probably a nice pay increase over our offer. It’s a no brainier from him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In those terms yes, but in footballing terms Chelsea have been a laughing stock the last two seasons with horrifically poor results for their financial outlay. I'm not going to lose any sleep over this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve definitely got potential with the players and financial clout etc. but if they keep binning good managers who don’t achieve instant success (in the eyes of their owner) it makes things really hard to sustain. Especially when you have us, Man Utd, Villa and Spurs to compete with before you even think about challenging Arsenal, Liverpool or Man City 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will, but the way that they often buy and then don't go on to consistently use players because of the lack of clear direction should be cause for concern. For most, when guided by their agents the most important factor is money, which Chelsea seemingly have an endless supply of. Though our owners have no limitation on spending our club does and so anyone that we do purchase will be to be used consistently, particularly if they're an established premier league player and are in their mid 20s. In summary both Chelsea and Newcastle will have told the player that he'd be a key component in their future but for us it has to be true, for Chelsea it doesn't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMXXVIII 1272 Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 I don't think it's that big a blow tbh. Cost effective but looked to have a bit of Titus Bramble about him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
