Joao Pedro wants to play for Barcelona and has a meeting scheduled with Xabi Alonso. Chelsea for now is not listening to offers.

FireSide

If I were the SD and would love a guaranteed title fight next season, and:

Considering
- Quenda is incoming. Can be used in RWB/LCAM
- Barco Can be used in LWB/CM/CDM
- Satpaev & Emegha coming in as striking Cover
- Nico can still be utilized
- Limited resources and financial fair play regulations and need to strengthen several areas

ASSUMING
- Enzo & Joao are staying
- Its Back 3
- Reece can switch to RCB

These are the transfers I'd make. Some values could be low or higher so could take a budget of 130-180M.

Dimarco for instance has 1 year contract left. Tapsoba could also be higher. The issue with Stones and Silva could be Salaries...

If you sell you can even get better upgrades. But this should be in a clean title charge.

METRICS FOR THE ABOVE DECISIONS


Top 5 ball playing CB outside EPL Top 5, PSG & Bayern

Metrics- ( line breaking passes, ball progression completion, Speed, Pass Accuracy, distribution under pressure)

Sample - Tapsoba, Bastoni, Buorngirono, Bisseck, Ndicka, Van Hecke)

Top 5 best CBs outside EPL Top 5, PSG & Bayern

Metrics- (Interceptions, tackles, blocks, aerial duels won, speed, dribbled past)

Sample-( Lewis Dunk, Van Hecke, Andersen, Senesi, Milenkovic, Lacroix, Brathwaite)


- Top 5 LB/LWB

-G/A
- Av tackels + interceptions

NOTE
✓ Players we are currently being linked to only.
✓ EPL or Champions League Experience only.

99% chance these are not the only ones our SDs are looking at. Even a good chance that most in this list are not even being considered. But purely on the rumours we are hearing those would be by pick.

For DiMarco, Maza and Illiman, Those are specifically my picks. We are not linked to any of those.

Jackson has to stay. In fact, with his link-up play and ability to stretch defenses, I will play him in LHS and João Pedro up front, or João Pedro in LHS and Jackson up front.

But interchanging with each other will be another weapon for us. I just don't see any reason to sell or loan him out, unless Alonso has a better idea.

He that scored for us to win, has scored for them

Sad😭

#OpponentWatch

PSG look worryingly clueless like the way they were against us in that famous World Cup finals

A real concern for all Arsenal haters.

We’ll miss you Arne Slot🥲

THIS IS NOT FOOTBALL

Rafa Leao is leaving Milan, I wouldn’t mind him at all

The entire football fans should be thankful to Chelsea for taking that CWC off PSG.

Had they won that trophy, they would be attaining the immortality level at this point.

Chelsea saved football.
