Chelsea could turn to Joško Gvardiol as a Jules Kounde alternative in the transfer market after it looks like they will lose out on the defender to Barcelona. The RB Leipzig Croatian defender is highly rated but expensive, perhaps Timo Werner’s potential exit could be linked with this transfer. Thomas Tuchel wants instant success at Chelsea, but needs to cultivate patience like Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola.

  1. That league is so silly. Sevilla rather sell one of there best player in kunde to barca a rival in the same league than sell to Chelsea. That league is a dog show. Always was.

  2. If we're thinking long term get Gvardiol & Gonçalo Inácio. Really miss Portuguese players at Chelsea fc.
    But if we want to challenge then we should look to get more seasoned campaigners in Kimpembe(Rüdiger replacement) and Pau Torres(Christensen).
    And that's just to rectify Chelsea's deficiencies in central defence.

  3. If we lose Werner I already see the post people will make once he finds his goal scoring form, “ omg why did chelsea let him go “ hopefully we just loan him and bring him back

  4. Let's be honest after the mass exodus of talent from La Liga it's obvious that they or others are assisting Barcelona to keep FFP, Real Madrid were miles ahead and financially stable and suddenly Barca can sign anyone

  5. Don't get comments about Tuchel worrying Kounde being too small but he's the same height as James who he states can play cb and looking for signings to push him into RCB

  6. Yan all these player that were supposedly in contact with chelsea they fear the premier league cause maybe its a little too hard and on top of that they dont want to fight its easy to go to side like barca,real,psg,bayern even city and liverpool because of the easy path to winning am nt saying its a bad thing but struggling fighting having to up yo game every match thats different to other premier league the easy route is the best way in term of what am seeing for example kounde he was dieing to join chelsea and as soon as barca got involved his course as change

  7. Why Chelsea was not able to get the players? I think Chelsea sporting director is very slow in doing the job. Donot blame others like Barca or PSG. Chelsea trying not enough. Chelsea keep telling us deal is closed and he is coming and Gerard Rem. Said Barca is holding strong.

  8. If Chelsea don't perform at the half of the new season then it's clear that Tuchel have to be sacked and need new signings during next transfer window. We need strong and hungry players

  9. It is mystifying why no player wants to come to Chelsea. Is it because of Thomas Tuchel? Surely it can't be due to Todd Boehly & Co. Is it the Chelsea fan social media which are off putting? Next thing is the possibilty of player exits which is growing. Pa si tive?

  10. It was a embracing lost against arsenal for us this is because we do not have a striker and the fact that we are playing with wingback that are our main creators this is the right time to sign Cristiano ronaldo

  11. I’m smacking the next person that says Tuchel out. Realistically who would be better to bring in over Tuchel at this point. He’s had a rough few months but patience is key. 3-4 more signings and we’ll be in a lot better position. I believe we need to bring in Gvardiol and then either kimpembe or Skriniar. I also think we need at least one more attacker especially as lukaku is gone and ziyech and Werner look like they’ll be off as well. That’s 3 first team attackers from last season so we need at minimum one more then to play broja and hudson-odoi more. I don’t know which attacker would fit the system best but in a big fan of Jonathan David

  12. I think TT is like annoyed but wants a proper sporting director while he wants to make the calls. He should get leeway but he’s not gonna get much if we don’t get top 4 I think we shoulda gotten lewi or Ronaldo I understand the baggage of cr7 but we cross the ⚽️ to much lewi woulda been a great signing. We should’ve never let Tammy go he was such a good fit posting now down the rd we’re gonna wanna buy Tammy back 🤦‍♂️. Ake did look good in that game vs Bayern. Kepas gotta go, but 🤷‍♂️ how much we get for them. Marina wouldn’t of let Barca get half those players. Todd needs a legit director he’s created the best lineup in baseball keep writing the checks hire someone.

  13. Cristiano campaign for a season would be excellent. We would be sorted in the goals department. We’ve been going through a goal femine for too long now..

  14. Saying " when the squad is functioning right" is a cop out. An excuse. It's his job to have it functioning. He's made mistakes and bar a few months of solidity in defense hasn't made his players better. He adopted a team capable of winning the Champions league and a year and a half later says his players aren't good enough to compete for 4th. Where's the player growth?
