Axel Disasi

Sage confirmed that Palace wanted a centre back at the pre Everton press conference.
The requirements he referred to were for lots of games (i.e experience) at Premier League level and leadership.
Disasi was mentioned to him as an option and Sage said to the reporter that he 'heard the same noise' as the reporter.

The impression given from the same conference is that neither Mateta nor Pino will start v Everton, having only recently returned to training.
He also seemed to say that Munoz was happy to stay, but I suppose that ultimately that still doesn't rule out a move for him given the players that have been brought in.

Have been trying to work out if there is anything there. I guess its likely true i.e. happy to stay....if he has to but would rather go

Just feels v unlike palace to have Munoz > Khalaili > Gozo for the RWB spot.

Because of his age and profile, you'd expect Gozo will be happy to be in around the squad and not really going to get many games. But you'd assume Khalaili wouldn't really be coming to sit on the bench.

If we play 60 odd games this season both Munoz and Khalaili will be needed.

I'd love this.

Loaning always feels a little dirty. But if its to give time for a young lad to acclimatise it feels very sensible.

If we did bring in Le Guen, surely it would be best to loan him back to Brest for the first half of the season (or all of it).

Also gives time for Canvot and Chadi to become more established .

We get a look at him .

Win / Win from my view point.

Gozo looks more ready to come on as sub and play the right-sided 10 for us and add energy. I can only see him playing RWB in games we are expected to dominate or maybe chasing.

Given what Sage was saying about wanting a PL experienced and ready CB, I’m not sure Khalaili is that for RWB yet, he is a good alternative.

If Munoz is happy to stay I think we’d need serious cash to make it worthwhile even at his age. It was when him Sarr and Kamada were out last year it fell apart. I’d be gutted if he leaves even it makes sense financially.

But we have Mingueza too so I think the plan is that he will be sharing the work with Khalaili as RWB and Oscar( also an option for cover in the middle) and as Sage said yesterday for some games at LWB when he wants the player to cut inside - presumably that is to give more space out wide for McNeil to put the crosses in

I still think it likely Munoz will be sold

From the videos and comments about his time at Salt Lake I agree and think Gozo will be the cover and possibly long term future replacement for Sarr

He did play RWB at Salt Lake but that was a compromise to get him in the team. Great he has that in his skill set but his future value and maximum potential is in his attacking threat and goals further forward

Is there an option to buy or a obligation does anyone know ? If so would the fee and wages come off the transfer price ?

Hopefully we've paid less than the quoted £5m loan fee as we are also paying his salary in full.

We do need a Prem experienced defender so hopefully he is what we need. Will definitely be the centre of a 3 man CB as we have quite a few options now on the left and right side.

For this Sat i suspect Richards in the centre with Canvot on one side and either Riad or Tomiyasu on the other.

Disasi hasn't been given a shirt number at Chelsea so the chance of a recall is minimal and they have about 10 CBs anyway, of which they are trying to move on 3 or 4

Was it that different when they recalled Chalobah?

Chelsea always have about 12 options for each position. Continuity and finding the right combination is their inherent weakness.
 
Can't be helped now, but I wish the Disasi loan has been sorted out before the Everton game.
I can't think of a more suitable game than Everton away where Disasi is needed what with their aerial bombardment and physicality, particularly at set pieces.

well there are a few differences that immediately spring to mind.

1. as i said earlier, Disasi hasn't been given a squad number so is clearly not in their plans
2. Disasi hasn't played for Chelsea for over 2 years now and was in their bomb squad
3. They have just bought Lacroix to play in exactly that position
4. Chalobah was coming back from injury when we signed him so wasn't in their immediate plans
5. Chelsea had a couple of CB injuries, Fofana etc as i remember which caused a short term issue

Not a fan of this deal.

I would have preferred one of the other Chelsea defenders I class Disasi as the worst out of the bunch they have.

Proven EPL, mid table quality and needed for depth given the number of games.

Difficult to think how we could have been offered better for the money.

Thus those other players were not offered to us far as I'm aware.

The other players it looks like will be going to other clubs so they was available.

Josh Acheampong Is the one I would have gone for.

If Chelsea was saying this is only one you can have take it or leave it I would have told them to f off and not even sold our guy to them.

Sick of these sort of teams the way they are its about time others toughen up and Chelsea walks all over us with terms every time.
