Might do okay in goal

Not going for Mbuemo is a perfect example of our flawed and myopic transfer strategy.

Delap and Ekitike are both young talented players, with lots of potential. Could be exciting - particularly Ekitike if that happens. You’d have to think we’d sell Jackson if the other 2 arrive - but I hope we sell him abroad. I hate selling our players to PL rivals.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not bothered where we sell Jackson tbf. I don't worry about him suddenly turning into a prolific No9 elsewhere as it's just not in his DNA I don't believe.
---------------------------------------------------
Hmmm. All he lacks is clinical finishing, give him that & he's a world class striker.

I would regret it if he discovered this elsewhere. Two years isn't that long, it feels long cos he's been our no.1 with no direct CF competition except Borja during that time, but that's not his problem.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All he lacks but he just doesn't have it lol. And I'd argue that there are other things he lacks as a 9 as well tbf.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Likely lacked the same. Jackson is rubbish, needs to feck off

We should sign Mbuemo if we're binning Madueke
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Damn straight we should
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He's going to United apparently
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's such a waste

Yeah, I have no idea if Ekitike would be a huge improvement on Jackson. But I bet he wouldn’t get yellow cards every game for being a moron.

Hows his offside awareness

Mbuemo is not perfect for us at all

He is neither a winger or a striker

He plays in a counter attacking team not a team that dominates possession

He would be ineffectual on our wings and isolated up top

Brentford have a very specific style of play which is almost the opposite of how we play

Mf will be 9issed cussing Jackson

Bild - Chelsea have agreed a verbal agreement over personal terms with Hugo Ekitike and his agent

Chelsea now currently sit 4th in Premier League all time wins.

Man Utd - 755
Arsenal - 693
Liverpool - 677
Chelsea - 667
Tottenham - 551
Man City - 550
Everton - 450
Newcastle - 439
Aston Villa - 411
West Ham - 371

‼️ Raheem Sterling has not yet been officially notified that his time at Arsenal will not be extended, but the expectation is that he will leave when his loan expires at the end of June.


Chelsea are also in the market for a centre back, but will only go for the right opportunity

Bild -

Dortmund are very keen to bring Carney Chukwuemeka back on loan for the upcoming season, however so far their interest has drastically cooled in making this a permanent deal, and are believed to be ready to turn down a loan with an agreement to purchase.

Martin Keown at his best 😄

🚨 Mamadou Sarr will be made official by Chelsea soon. Enzo Maresca will evaluate the centre back at the Club World Cup, before deciding if he stays or goes back to Strasbourg on loan. (@lequipe)


Was a key player for Strasbourg last season. Had some great performances. Would also save paying a massive fee on another CB

Chelsea are not considering a move for Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite this summer.

~ @TheAthleticFC

Trevoh Chalobah and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall might have a decision to make given their place in the first XI is not assured.

Other youngsters in line for a loan are striker Marc Guiu, defender Aaron Anselmino, and Mike Penders.

A loan is also being seen as an option for striker David Datro Fofana.

Kendry Paez, who is officially a Chelsea player now, having agreed to join from Independiente del Valle two years ago, is expected to go to Strasbourg.

~ @TheAthleticFC

How much business Chelsea do will partly depend on the amount of money they can raise from the sales listed above.

But they are in a strong financial position, having qualified for the Champions League and can make up to £97m at the Club World Cup, which kicks off in the USA later this month. There are no concerns over PSR.

~ @SJohnsonSport

None of the first three goalkeepers [Sanchez, Petrovic, and Jorgensen] has been earmarked as the definite No 1 for next season either, while Penders is too inexperienced to even be considered yet.

Lesley Ugochukwu is well-liked and seen as someone who had a positive loan season at Southampton despite their dismal performance as a team, but Chelsea are now well-stocked for midfielders. The club believe he will generate a lot of interest this summer.

Not true, though depends what you mean by "proper strikers" (guessing you mean one's who don't drop deep)

23 is pushing the boundaries but all of them don't get prolific from teenage years. Superb's boy is funnily enough a good example - he's a classic off the shoulder striker & he only started returning serious numbers when he was 22.

He's also not "useless" even without the goals. Movements great, presses well, link up very good, far from physically weak, lots of pace, etc... and the team clearly prefer him in the team than not. You can almost bookend our mid-season slump with him being injured.

Goals are required now if he wants to put up a stake to continue being our #1 striker, hence needs competition now, but I'm not selling him yet. Double our money (so 60mil+) would be the minimum required to get me thinking about the idea.
