    It’s not easy to sell free transfers as the player wage is so much higher. I can’t think of many players moving on free transfers having a subsequent big money move elsewhere can you?

    Cody Gakpo

    After their huge spending last summer, desperate need for a few defenders and £100m+ pursuit of Barcola they might need to do some book balancing.

    Nicolas Jackson

    Just too expensive for a backup player I would imagine. This is what Lothar Matthaus said: "Kompany is convinced of Jackson's abilities and would have liked to keep him in Munich. But he is too expensive. Kompany has made it clear internally that he would like to keep Jackson, but obviously at...

    Nicolas Jackson

    Except he clearly hasn’t been brick anywhere he has been. Chelsea want to sell as they need to raise funds and have a plethora of forwards of which Jackson is the most valuable other than Pedro, who is their first choice (and very, very good!).

    Nicolas Jackson

    Really interesting comments here from Matthew Benham (the Brentford owner) about the importance of getting in position to score: "For a striker, getting in position is way more informative than finishing," "There is an awful amount of randomness in finishing. For example, if you show me two...

    But very different to when Frank was ;)

    If they are selling him then I'd love us to be in for him.

    Nicolas Jackson

    A PL goal or assist every 134 minutes for Chelsea is a very good return. That is basically the same rate of goal involvements that Chelsea got out of Joao Pedro last season (a player that I said on here a few times that I wanted us to sign back when he was at Watford).

    This isn't a good loan for Moore at all unless Koln are selling Said El Malia IMO.

    Nicolas Jackson

    A PL goal or assist every 134 minutes, that is seriously impressive, and I think demonstrates what I said before about people paying too much attention to how many chances a player misses as opposed to how many chances they get. Lots of people outside of football used to criticise Andy Cole as...

    Nicolas Jackson

    Chelsea have loads of forwards and need to raise money. Bayern have a certain Harry Kane. Will he be our ‘saviour’…. I doubt it, I don’t think there is anyone we can afford and attract that would be oir ‘saviour’. Would he be a better fit up front for a De Zerbi team than Richi? I think he...

    Nicolas Jackson

    People (outside of football) pay far too much attention to chances missed and far too little to how good players are at getting into,goal scoring positions. Jackson works hard, links play and scores at a decent rate.

    Transfer thread

    I think we've moved players on earlier than we usually do as well as signing players earlier than we usually do. We're in great shape. I made a post a little while ago that showed the (IMO reasonably small) amount of business that we NEED to do. All of those players that we'd prefer to leave...

    Savinho

    His wages at Man Utd are massive. Very few clubs in the world can afford those wages. Almost no clubs can afford them combined with a transfer fee. Rashford won't move until late in the window when Man Utd start to lower their demands (either allowing a free transfer or perhaps even...

    Savinho

    I seriously doubt he would get anywhere near the combined goal and assist numbers that Rashford got at Barca.

    They’ll all be waiting for a more attractive offer, it’s normal. Most deals get done in the last 2 weeks of August,

    Interested to know what dates those players went out on loan. I bet almost all were loaned in August and many of them late in August. Due to our excellent early window business we have a lot less to do in August than we have for years IMO. For once we’re actually in the driving seat.
