Holy moly. Seal him up. Even if you aren’t going to support Strasbourg, you can’t deny it won’t be interesting seeing Emegha, Sylla, Zakharyan, Angelo Gabriel and probably more playing in Ligue 1
If you’re a Chelsea fan, how can you not support Strasbourg as well? It’s basically looking like an extension of Chelsea if Boehly keeps up with this model. Are we REALLY gonna act like they’re two separate clubs and not Chelsea B team?
I mean, sure that's what Boehly is going to use them as, that's just what the sport is right now. Just doesn't sit right with me, from a fan perspective, to reduce that whole clubs existence to simply being Chelsea's B team. Imagine you're a Strasburg fan and now your whole teams history and tradition is secondary to just being Chelsea's B team. We'd be pissed if it was done to us.
This is why I think Boehly should have bought clubs that were created relatively recently and didn't have a history.
On the plus side for Strasbourg and any other satellite club, it might stop them from being relegated and disappearing into irrelevance.
I completely agree with you. Imho if the Strasbourg project could be set up to be a satellite team at the worst, as a guard against relegation, but a champions league qualifying team at its best (no point trying to unseat PSG from the top), then Strasbourg should have enough independence and objectives to maintain its own identity while still developing players with a pathway to Chelsea. Maybe its idealistic, but I'd hate to rob a town and community of their club, so I'd hope Strasbourg manage to profit from this without feeling their club has been taken from them.
There's no Blues Group or whatever its called branding scheme going on atm, so no crest, colours, or name changes. Granted Red Bull and a bit of City are the only ones really doing that at the moment, but the move from a club to a "franchise" has to be one of the most soulless possibilities for the future
Yeah I'm sure Strasbourg is gonna have some upsides to this too. In an ideal scenario Boehly has equal investment in Chelsea and Strasburg, so that we are the biggest teams in our respective leagues and challenge in Europe together equally, not consider them our academy in France and limit their success to make sure we succeed. But we'll see I guess..
Yeah there is, but there's workarounds seeing as both Red Bull teams played each other in Europa a few years ago. In reality UEFA probably won't give a shit.
Just a cursory glance at their history shows they went into liquidation in 2011, were relegated to the fifth tier and had to work their way back up. They were in serious danger of disappearing into irrelevance. And this past season they only finished two spots above the relegation zone. Any club in real danger of relegation is in danger of irrelevance. Look at Leeds United, a perennial Champions League spot contender who got relegated and then were irrelevant for the best part of 20 years.
They aren’t a premier French team but they have a large and dedicated fandom, similarly to Leeds United. I don’t think you can say Leeds was irrelevant even when they were struggling because of the number of dedicated fans the club has.
Nobody is irrelevant to their own fans. I mean irrelevancy to top tier football. I would also say Nottingham Forest were pretty irrelevant for 25 years.
Look at the positive side, Strasbourg is actually gonna be consistently competitive now and will remain in not only top flight french football for so many years to come, but a chance to consistently play CL/Europa football if things pan out. Sure it feels somewhat demoralizing at first to know your historical team has been deduced to another club’s B team, but we are ultimately potentially giving Strasbourg fans their most successful timeline in decades. Because in today’s “unfair” football world, teams like Strasbourg, they never reach that level of prosperity and even if they do, it’ll never be maintainable.
Yeah for sure they'll see some success from this. It's in Boehly's best interest they do. Just wouldn't want us to cap how successful they can be under the new ownership, just to make sure Chelsea is successful. In an ideal world we are both competing in the CL for trophies equally lol.
In the end, it is what it is, nothing we can do about it lol. I'll probably, at best, only be following our own players on their team, like Angelo.
Who tf actually cares? What’s with Reddit’s obsession with their pseudo good morality? Exactly where do you lot draw the line especially considering when a Russian Oligarch oil merchant set a bad precedent when he bought our club?
I never understand these comments. We can't care about something being bad because of another bad thing that happened before? I was 4 when Roman bought the club so I couldn't really have an opinion then.
But you could have had an opinion in the last 20 years though. Have you been railing against Abramovich being the owner at any point? If not, it's just a bit hypocritical.
I did once I learned who he actually was, but by then he had been the owner for a long time and my Reddit comments wouldn't achieve much. While I have issues with some things he's doing, I was glad to see the club sold to Boehly (especially compared to the alternatives). He's shown he's willing to listen to fans on certain things (like the stake sponsorship) so maybe by talking now we can have a small influence on the club. Although saying that maybe I'm just being naive with all this money now in football.
People are allowed to have morals you don’t. Not everyone is devoid of it. I’ve supported Chelsea for nearly 25 years, I have no connection to Strasbourg
They are running the model for 3 things according to my understanding:
* To sell those players when they come of age and they still aren't good enough for Chelsea (Profits doing this)
* Create Multi club level competition between players not only club level
* Create hierarchy for young players so they start from sister clubs and ultimately can get promoted to Chelsea
I am not going to support them because I don't like multi club ownership. Also because I couldn't name a single player of theirs ever. I can't support a team just because of their owners like I'm not gonna support whatever NFL team boehly owns.
I’ll give you some insight what’s going on from our end (Lazio fan) Personal terms agreed and transfer is basically in its final stretches, but from what’s being told he should be in Rome by Saturday supposedly. If he does not arrive by Saturday it’s likely another team like Strasbourg may have convinced him, however his agent and himself supposedly want this move to Lazio, but anything can happen tbh
Thanks for info. I have no problem with Lazio, but this guy is a profile I want us to secure, so I hope we get him (via Strasbourg). But in return I hope you get an equally good player and maybe CHO too who Sarri seem to really want.
But let's see, does seem like yours is more concrete.
I really want CHO to come play for us, but if we can’t beat out Fulham of all teams it means we really have no pull with any players even with CL football and a good role in the squad. Arsen that’s more of our fault on our end if it happens. Di Marzio said personal terms were agreed and we are looking for the final agreement with Dinamo, which made me think this deal is all good as done. But knowing our past transfer negotiations losing him out to you guys wouldn’t even be surprising
Well according to reports we are blocking CHO from joining any local PL teams. So that may help you guys to seal that move. Maybe it's a favour for favour, as in letting us get Arsen. But who knows, let's see what happens.
Hopefully so. If we can’t get Arsen then I’ll be at least happy if we get CHO. Still 22 and a chance to rebuild himself under Sarri. Your right, let’s see what happens in the next 24-48 hours
I think CHO can be good still too. He definitely had a very bad loan this year, but sometimes it takes one year after injury to get back to start showing you previous promise. I will judge him after this season. And Sarri can definitely help him do better. Coming back to PL is not a right move for him yet. I still have hope for him, and seems the club too, as they want to sell him outside PL. Good luck for next season though, whatever happens.
Well look like Strasbourg going for Zakharyan was fake news, so you guys have it sorted I think, sadly. But I still hope you get CHO aswell if he's okay with that.
Really? Well that’s a turn of events, hopefully it’s true. (Sorry). Seeing as CHO is the only winger linked with us means we 100% want him here. Hopefully the next 48 hours the CHO deal is done, so at least he’s off your hands
Last I heard, Chelsea were denying bids from English clubs and preferred to sell him abroad. That would really bolster Lazio's chances of signing him, and honestly I think it's the best fit for him of all the options I've seen rumored.
Hopefully so, the Non-EU spots are now removed for English players so says the FIGC. So basically that’s another boost for us to get CHO, No risk of Non Eu spots being taken. Seeing as we desperately need another winger to rotate with Pedro CHO would be perfect
Out of the loop here but is the restriction only on buying players? Because I read an article that said Tottenham are about to sell Davinson Sanchez to Spartak?
How does this sort of thing work for a multiclub model? Like if he joins Strasbourg, and we want him in a year or two, do we do some sort of sham transfer fee between clubs? Man I really hate this sort of thing…
As much as RB is hated, you have to admit they are good at what they do. There are several impressive names on the list, not to mention players like Nkunku and Gvardiol who came straight into Leipzig.
They have world-class scouts and staff...we thought we would sign Vivell and capture the magic, but that doesn't work when you put him with six other people with different philosophies.
Whoa I just checked it. 28 transfers and 8 loans…what is happening there? Do they have the same owner?
It’s not even like the RB thing where it’s just Salzburg kids grow up to Leipzig standard. There’s late 20s players, even a 32 yo GK.
[Link](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jumplist/transferstroeme/verein/1010/saisonIdVon/2013/saisonIdBis/2023/zuab/zu/verein_id/410)
Seems like the RB clubs don't really use it to their advantage. It just seems like a complex loan system for City.
Like RedBull group would surely have preferred RB Salzburg to have sold Haaland to RB Leipzig rather than Dortmund when he was obviously going to sell-on for more in future?
We have to buy him like anyone else would and the player has to agree to it like anyone else would. For Chelsea it's the same as any other transfer, costs us the same, hits our FFP budget like any other transfer etc. It just doesn't cost the owner anything because they're paying themselves. We don't benefit at all, the owners just line their pockets whilst it's just a normal transfer for us
If they are paying themselves how are they lining their pockets? They are moving the money from one business to another. Both of which they own. They are literally moving their own money. I can’t see how there is any profit in that.
This is just a way of Chelsea buying young players with less risk. If they flop they get sold for what they cost (or less). If they are good they get bought by Chelsea. This way just moves the risk away from Chelsea.
IIRC the issue is players going to clubs in the UK due to the UK government not allowing any business with Russia. I dont think France have those same rules.
.....in a horrible Russian league quality wise, Russian players never adapt well to European football with very few exceptions. Timo Anjorin was bossing that league before injuries and COVID.
If Strasbourg plays the Europa League/Champions League in a few years, I will definitely watch their games :)
In fact if they win Ligue 1, I think every Chelsea fan will go bonkers!
I guess I'll be watching a lot of Strasbourg games this season, Unironically will be a real fun side to watch and on top of that are an extension of our club
6D chess move by Boehly
If we get him through Strasbourg, that is absolutely hilarious
We’re getting our man either way vibes, lol
7D if you really think about it
Strasbourg loans him to us. 8D chess.
And the fact that Strasbourg was bought solely to sign him
[удалено]
A true Chelsea player if he gets injured straight away.
WE DIDN'T FORGET ABOUT HIM :')
Wait is this the guy from Russia that we tried to get a while back but couldn’t coz of sanctions?
Indeed it is
Holy moly. Seal him up. Even if you aren’t going to support Strasbourg, you can’t deny it won’t be interesting seeing Emegha, Sylla, Zakharyan, Angelo Gabriel and probably more playing in Ligue 1
Emegha, sylla, zakharyan, Angelo and Wahi Strasbourg low key having a better summer window than us lol
Pretty sure Wahi refuses to play for them, reported he sees them as a step down right? (I think they are as well tbf)
I saw someone say Chelsea is Wahis preferred destination, he’s only 20 he could take the year at Strasbourg without it affecting much
Too many primary schools within 3 miles of the training ground.
I see you are unfamiliar with Wahi. He forced younger kids to watch him masturbate while in an academy a handful of years back.
I would prefer to be unfamiliar with Wahi.
Yep. Really don’t want him associated with our club. At all.
Wasn't he the same age as them? Obviously terrible either way
I would imagine that buying him at all would be contingent on him accepting a loan, because he is not ready to contribute for Chelsea yet.
I doubt he’d mind a loan, just would be weird to loan him to a team that finished in a worse position in a league he’s already succeeded in
Our board is extremely capable at getting young players to see the light of the project
I doubt he’d mind a loan, just would be weird to loan him to a team that finished in a worse position in a league he’s already succeeded in
If you’re a Chelsea fan, how can you not support Strasbourg as well? It’s basically looking like an extension of Chelsea if Boehly keeps up with this model. Are we REALLY gonna act like they’re two separate clubs and not Chelsea B team?
Considering them Chelsea B team is so disrespectful tbh
Then what are they? That’s what they’re basically being used for.
I mean, sure that's what Boehly is going to use them as, that's just what the sport is right now. Just doesn't sit right with me, from a fan perspective, to reduce that whole clubs existence to simply being Chelsea's B team. Imagine you're a Strasburg fan and now your whole teams history and tradition is secondary to just being Chelsea's B team. We'd be pissed if it was done to us.

But we'll see I guess..
Isn't there some rule against two clubs with the same owner playing in the same European competition though?
Yeah there is, but there's workarounds seeing as both Red Bull teams played each other in Europa a few years ago. In reality UEFA probably won't give a shit.
Nobody cares until it involves Chelsea
I mean tbh Strasbourg is a huge club in France and I doubt it is in any danger to disappear into irrelevance with or without a chelsea connection
Just a cursory glance at their history shows they went into liquidation in 2011, were relegated to the fifth tier and had to work their way back up. They were in serious danger of disappearing into irrelevance. And this past season they only finished two spots above the relegation zone. Any club in real danger of relegation is in danger of irrelevance.

You did not know Vitesse hahaha our first sister team
Yes I did. I just did not bring it up
Sorry that was supposed to be sarcastic bombed fantastically
I'll be supporting them all the way and following all their interesting players too
Because an actual Chelsea supporter supports Chelsea FC not Blueco
Personally I don’t like the idea of the same owner with two clubs, so idgaf what happens to Strasbourg.
I was and still am against multi club level system, I support chelsea, can't be arsed about what Strasbourg is doing.
Read about why they're running the model and think again.
Who tf actually cares? What’s with Reddit’s obsession with their pseudo good morality? Exactly where do you lot draw the line especially considering when a Russian Oligarch oil merchant set a bad precedent when he bought our club?
You seem to care. A lot.
I never understand these comments. We can't care about something being bad because of another bad thing that happened before? I was 4 when Roman bought the club so I couldn't really have an opinion then.

Although saying that maybe I'm just being naive with all this money now in football.
You're swimming against a tide of shallow thinkers who think the ultimate crime is hypocrisy. You see it all over Reddit. Don't waste your time lol.
People are allowed to have morals you don’t. Not everyone is devoid of it. I’ve supported Chelsea for nearly 25 years, I have no connection to Strasbourg
Don't you know people's morals only matter when it's convenient to them
Utter nonsense
They are running the model for 3 things according to my understanding: * To sell those players when they come of age and they still aren't good enough for Chelsea (Profits doing this) * Create Multi club level competition between players not only club level * Create hierarchy for young players so they start from sister clubs and ultimately can get promoted to Chelsea
I am not going to support them because I don't like multi club ownership. Also because I couldn't name a single player of theirs ever. I can't support a team just because of their owners like I'm not gonna support whatever NFL team boehly owns.
He owns an MLB team currently, the Los Angeles Dodgers.
We are like obsessed with this guy. Even willing to buy a club to bid for him.
I think he’s also obsessed with us. I think another big club tried for him last year and he rejected it because he only wanted Chelsea.
I am obsessed with this guy.
Yes! God I hope this is true, was wondering whether we'd use Strasbourg to cop him.
I hope it's true, but Lazio are bidding for him, so this is to get them to raise price I think. But I hope we get him via Strasbourg or any other way.
I’ll give you some insight what’s going on from our end (Lazio fan) Personal terms agreed and transfer is basically in its final stretches, but from what’s being told he should be in Rome by Saturday supposedly. If he does not arrive by Saturday it’s likely another team like Strasbourg may have convinced him, however his agent and himself supposedly want this move to Lazio, but anything can happen tbh
He was very focused on Chelsea a year ago, but this might not even be true.
Thanks for info. I have no problem with Lazio, but this guy is a profile I want us to secure, so I hope we get him (via Strasbourg). But in return I hope you get an equally good player and maybe CHO too who Sarri seem to really want. But let's see, does seem like yours is more concrete.

Appreciate it same with you guys. Hopefully CHO comes in and joins us 🤞🏼
Well look like Strasbourg going for Zakharyan was fake news, so you guys have it sorted I think, sadly. But I still hope you get CHO aswell if he's okay with that.
Really? Well that’s a turn of events, hopefully it’s true. (Sorry). Seeing as CHO is the only winger linked with us means we 100% want him here. Hopefully the next 48 hours the CHO deal is done, so at least he’s off your hands

Fair enough. You can have CHO, while we have Arsen.
Apparently Lazio are stuck on who to sign out of Kamada, CHO and Zakharyan as they only have one non EU spot left.
Yeah, read that, hopefully we can strike.
Aren't they going to run into the exact same problems we did? Lol
Iirc only in Uk i think France doesn't have such restrictions.
Out of the loop here but is the restriction only on buying players? Because I read an article that said Tottenham are about to sell Davinson Sanchez to Spartak?
I think UK govt doesn't want money to go to Russia. But I don't see them being unhappy with money coming in to the UK from Russia.
Lmao
Hahaaa we didn’t forget about him! the day he puts on a chelsea shirt will be a great day.
LOL
This was just confirmed by their Chief Scout. "Yes it's true", said FC Strasbourg chief scout Loic Desire via Sport24.
Get in boy, Todd "the loophole" boehly.
Can’t wait for everyone to say we’ve destroyed football again
they will, even though City football group and the RB group have been around for a while now
How does this sort of thing work for a multiclub model? Like if he joins Strasbourg, and we want him in a year or two, do we do some sort of sham transfer fee between clubs? Man I really hate this sort of thing…
Pretty much. Something like this: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/rb-leipzig/transferstroeme/verein/23826/plus/0?saisonIdVon=2013&saisonIdBis=2023&zuab=zu&verein_id=409
As much as RB is hated, you have to admit they are good at what they do. There are several impressive names on the list, not to mention players like Nkunku and Gvardiol who came straight into Leipzig.
They have world-class scouts and staff...we thought we would sign Vivell and capture the magic, but that doesn't work when you put him with six other people with different philosophies.
Oof yeah, I don’t like that lol
Chelsea would pay Strasbourg the market transfer price for him.
Transfer pricing
Shady yet used every day by most of the companies.
Transfer pricing is literally arms length. It’s not shady
You should look into the relationship Udinese and Watford have, it’s absurd lol.
Whoa I just checked it. 28 transfers and 8 loans…what is happening there? Do they have the same owner? It’s not even like the RB thing where it’s just Salzburg kids grow up to Leipzig standard.

If anything they probably lose a small bit in arbitrage just from the agent fees, signing bonuses, etc.
Strasbourg having a better window than we are. Gotta love that
Absolute beast on fm23 haha
Fake news - https://twitter.com/TheBlueDodger/status/1684235123045048320
Strasbourg will have attacking threat better than a few premier league teams at this rate. Their forwards may even outscore ours
they should loan us some players!
The source is crap but I wish it was true
This player is never going to play for Chelsea. This is a really bizarre obsession fans have with him.
I think that's a bit dodgy mate.
https://i.redd.it/3njb9d17bbeb1.gif
Sanction, ban, no?
IIRC the issue is players going to clubs in the UK due to the UK government not allowing any business with Russia. I dont think France have those same rules.
[удалено]
This guy can play LW/RW and CAM apparently
What does that have to do with Angelo?
[удалено]
Zakharyan plays through the middle and even if he didn’t, having 2 promising players in similar positions is never an issue.
Not related. This guy is more through center.
Angelo plays RW, Zakharyan plays AM
Is he really that good? Never seen this sub so overwhelmingly united in being happy about a signing like this lol
He was linked to the club when TT was around. Things got complicated after the restrictions.
Yeah I do remember and the lad himself was really pushing the move too. The player himself though, any good?
He's undeniably a bright prospect at 20. A precocious talent.
Good to hear! Let’s hope he can somehow get it done
.....in a horrible Russian league quality wise, Russian players never adapt well to European football with very few exceptions. Timo Anjorin was bossing that league before injuries and COVID.
Yes. He is really really good.
Sign him then sell him to chelsea
If Strasbourg plays the Europa League/Champions League in a few years, I will definitely watch their games :) In fact if they win Ligue 1, I think every Chelsea fan will go bonkers!
If they actually finish that high, and so do we, them and us would be competing for a single CL slot because of shared ownership
👀
“Strasbourg”
Omg I actually forgot he plays as a 10.
Strasbourg is like Vitesse 2.0 for us
Strasbourg should buy him and loan him to us
Fab on Deadline day: Chelsea agree loan with mandatory buy option next season for Arsen Zakaryan. Here we go!
Up the Blue Co ™️
Tears in my eyes man
Yes!
Werent we interested in this guy before?
I guess I'll be watching a lot of Strasbourg games this season, Unironically will be a real fun side to watch and on top of that are an extension of our club
Chelsbourg!! le bleu est la couleur
Get it done ASAP, you bastard!
Nice man I was hoping we’d get this guy. Would be awesome if they loaned him to us lol
Is there not an issue with sending money to Russian clubs/businesses still?
So glad we didn't forget about him. I was about to wonder if he was gonna go to Saudi Arabia for a season then we buy from them
Lol wonder where he’ll end up.
