Transfer rumours (isn't it nice to talk about football!) (4 Viewers)

QPR and Coventry City plot swoop for young Chelsea hotshot

Our Chelsea link makes this a potential transfer for sure. And if we can start beating the likes of qpr to players, dare I already dream (in a normal world) that we could become established at championship level!?

Ohhhhh...football talk again for the right reasons

Nonsense article unfortunately. We are never spending £2.5m on a player let alone one who has proven very little in England

I thought The Sun would be a bit of a giveaway

Sorry I might be being thick where does it mention the fee?

His contract is set to expire in the summer and this report reveals that he has got interest from two teams looking to snap him up at the end of the season.

It’s in the original The Sun article which they’ve just rephrased and published. He has a contract at Chelsea until 2021 according to their site

In July 2017 it was announced Ugbo would spend the 2017/18 campaign on loan at Championship club Barnsley, his first spell away from Chelsea. Prior to his move, he signed a new contract until 2021.

 

[larry_david]

Ahhhh. Well even so, nice to talk about footy for a min eh! Perhaps we'll loan him

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

They may release him with a period left on his contract like they did with Wakefield just to get him off their books

 

[Liquid Gold]

How dare you 95% of people saying our current players are shite.

 

[SkyBlue Snowflake]

The signings robins makes hardly ever get leaked so I'd say this won't happen...

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Came from here yesterday

 

[bawtryneal]

Maybe coming on loan for a season.

I thought we were "fighting" off Leeds for this lad?

No that’s a French centre back from a Ligue 2 club. Still I can’t see it being much of a fight if Leeds actually want him

Isn't good to think we could be back competing with the bigger clubs for players again?

Who still wants Yahou? Did we ask about Jeeves from Worcester City and the twins Gene and Fred at United?

Still, would be funny someone calling for the ball from him. YOO HOO!

Yahou have to spoil it don't you?

Crikey, I floated Ugbo a couple of days ago as the kind of striker we may go for. I have no inside knowledge at all.

I reckon that if we get another striker, it'll be someone we've never heard of - which was the case with most signings last summer: youth players from other clubs; players from abroad; Bosmans from other sides who were not household names.

I was looking at the Chelsea youth team yesterday. There's quite a few on loan in Europe this year and some of them have been doing well. Now I'm not suggesting that we'd get a forward for free like Dabo, but £1m might bring someone here who isn't ever going to play in the Chelsea first 11 but with time will play in the Premiership. Icke Ugbo for example - 22 next season - now at loan at Roda JC in Holland - contract ends this June - 13 goals, scoring 1 every two games and their top scorer. At 22 it's possibly too late for him now at Chelsea. Someone like that I reckon.

Would there be a fee payable for being under 24 and coming through the Chelsea academy ?

Bit like most journos

Not if he isn’t offered a deal by them.

Heh, never thought I’d see QPR viewed in that way but yeah that’s how it is!

Haha true, in half a season time we'll be bigger than them. The phoenix is rising lads, spread the word, the phoenix is rising

Doesn't always come down to club, if he wants football he will come here, if he wants money he will go Leeds. P

Anyone else really want us to sign James Collins? Surely a move we could get done and he’d wanna come here, he’d guarantee us goals..... no brainier if they go down

 

[Magwitch]

No

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

First signing we should make is Mark Robins on a longer deal.

 

[larry_david]

Tbh if we signed Collins I'd probably be excited. But at the same time I don't want us to sign him... Does that make sense?

will he score more than Max / Baka / Jordi in the championship.

Yes, so would be an improvement. He's only 29

 

[SkyBlueSam01]

Jacob Butterfield tenuously linked... Would be an excellent signing imo

Could Coventry City target ex-Derby County midfielder from Luton Town?
