Red, White & Blues FC | Just Pay the Release Clause: Costa, Stones & the Salah Rumor

<p>Transfer season is in full swing, England are out of the World Cup, and Chelsea’s board is once again €20 million short of common sense. We get into all of it.</p><p>Church is in session this week as we run through everything that’s happened — and pointedly not happened — in Chelsea’s transfer window. Trevoh Chalobah looks bound for Como, the Pep Chavarría saga has gone fully sideways, and we’re now officially linked to Porto’s Diogo Costa, which naturally means the board thinks he’s worth €20m less than his release clause. We also debut a brand new segment: the Shitty Transfer Rumor of the Week. It goes about as well as you’d expect.</p><p><strong>Farewell, Trev</strong></p><p>Chalobah has finally said yes to Como — except now Como might be getting cold feet, having never actually met our valuation. We’re both sad to see him go: Chelsea through and through, a solid role player who did a lot for the club. Jason floats a theory that Como is waiting on England’s third-place match to see if Trev finally gets minutes (and stays healthy) before dropping the cash. Also on the record: if Thomas Tuchel plays Reece James in that match, we are both going to lose it.</p><p><strong>The Left-Back Saga: Chavarría vs. Carreras</strong></p><p>Rayo Vallecano has gone from wanting €21m for Pep Chavarría to demanding his full €42 million release clause — for a 28-year-old with zero Spain caps whose market value sits around €10m. Meanwhile we’ve bid €25m for Real Madrid’s Álvaro Carreras, a player Xabi Alonso has actually managed and might actually want. We go back and forth on which link is real, but land in the same place: if the prices are comparable, go get the guy your manager knows. And half of Chelsea Twitter screaming “back Xabi” over a Rayo left-back needs to log off.</p><p><strong>Diogo Costa and the €20 Million Problem</strong></p><p>Here’s the one that sends Daniel over the edge. Chelsea are linked to Porto keeper Diogo Costa — Portugal’s starting goalkeeper at this World Cup — who has a €60m release clause. The board’s position? He’s worth more like 40. Just pay the extra €20 million and lock down the position for the next five to seven years. Get a shirt sponsor — you know, like every other club in the Premier League has — and you’ve found the money. Five sporting directors, and this is the M.O. every time: wildly overpay (Cucurella, Mudryk, Gittens, Delap, Fofana, Badiashile, Disasi) or nickel-and-dime a deal to death. There’s no in-between.</p><p><strong>John Stones on a Free?</strong></p><p>Joe Cole and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink both say Chelsea should sign John Stones on a free after City let him walk. Jason’s initially in — then remembers Stones is 32 and, in Daniel’s words, “can’t jump anymore.” But with Chalobah leaving and our record buying defenders in their prime, we grudgingly agree: he started every England match at the World Cup while Fofana, Disasi and Badiashile sat at home. He can’t make the back line worse. The fact that we’re seriously weighing this — and might lose the bidding war to Leeds — tells you exactly where this club is right now.</p><p><strong>Shitty Transfer Rumor of the Week (New Segment!)</strong></p><p>Our new favorite thing. Jason brings a single-sourced Egyptian TV report that Mo Salah wants to come home to Chelsea. Daniel counters with PSG — the two-time defending Champions League winners — preparing a €65m bid for Nicolas Jackson. Both are complete nonsense. Both are exactly why this segment exists. We close with the Disasi-to-West-Ham rumor (£25m reported) and whether this board will ever move the players nobody wants.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

We Rebuilt Chelsea's Entire Squad From Scratch for £1 Billion (BlueCo Still Would've Lost) | Red White Blues FC

<p>Daniel and Jason each independently rebuilt Chelsea from scratch — same £1 billion budget, same rule: only sign players who were actually available during BlueCo’s tenure. What they found out about their own club is not flattering.</p><p>We’ve been threatening to do this episode for about a year, and we finally sat down and did it: rebuild the entire Chelsea squad using only transfers that were realistically available since BlueCo took over in the 2022–23 window through last winter. Same rough budget as the real thing — just under £1.5 billion, since that’s what’s actually been spent — and we did it completely independently, without comparing notes beforehand.</p><p><strong>The Rules</strong></p><p>Nothing unrealistic. No Erling Haaland, no Kylian Mbappé — just players Chelsea could conceivably have gotten given the timing and their wage structure. Beyond that, anything goes.</p><p><strong>Defense: A Back Four That Could Have Played Together for Four Years</strong></p><p>Both of us kept Levi Colwill without question. From there it diverges into “what if” territory: Cristian Romero (Cucurella’s Tottenham countryman) as one option at center back for the money Chelsea actually spent on Wesley Fofana, alongside cheaper alternatives like Gleison Bremer and Josko Gvardiol — both of whom were on the table for less than what Chelsea paid for Axel Disasi or Benoît Badiashile. At left back, it’s Marc Cucurella against the tantalizing alternative universe where Chelsea signs Nuno Mendes instead — now arguably the best left back in the world — plus a nod to keeping Ian Maatsen around instead of selling him off.</p><p><strong>Midfield: The Two Nobody Argues With</strong></p><p>Moises Caicedo and Cody Palmer were the two names both of us kept without hesitation — Caicedo for £116m looks like one of the better bits of business BlueCo has actually done, and Palmer, whatever you think of the scouting behind it, has been the one genuine coup. From there, the discussion opens up into names Chelsea could have had for a fraction of the outlay on Romeo Lavia, Dário Essugo, or Carney Chukwuemeka — including a free transfer for Christian Eriksen that was floated on this podcast for months before Chelsea ignored it.</p><p><strong>Wide Areas: Same Brain, Same Answer</strong></p><p>Independently, we both landed on Raphinha for the left wing — a name Chelsea were actually linked with around the same price point. The right wing is where it gets painful: Chelsea’s actual buy in that window was Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, while Michael Olise was there for the taking and slipped away purely over wages. We also dig into whether Olise or Pedro Neto is the better player today, and what it means that Chelsea ended up paying more for the worse option.</p><p><strong>Strikers: João Pedro Stays, But Look at Who Got Away</strong></p><p>João Pedro remains the starter in both our rebuilds, but the exercise turns up striker options Chelsea could have had for less than what they eventually spent — Dominic Solanke, Alexander Isak, Victor Osimhen, Viktor Gyökeres, and Jørgen Strand Larsen all get a mention as players who were on the market at some point during BlueCo’s reign and went elsewhere.</p><p><strong>The Bench, and the Real Numbers</strong></p><p>We round out both squads with backups at every position — Matheus Nunes, Adam Wharton, Youri Tielemans, Martín Zubimendi, and even Granit Xhaka (available for a fraction of what Sunderland reportedly wants for him now) all show up as realistic squad depth options.</p><p>Then we do the sobering part: laying out, window by window, everything BlueCo has actually bought and sold since 2022 — and it is a genuinely rough list to read back. Almost a billion and a half spent, barely half of that recouped in sales, and a scouting department that, by our count, has produced maybe six good buys and three academy graduates in four years. Everything else is filed under “just terrible business.”</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

Andrey Santos Joins Man United, Quenda Goes Official & the Enzo Standoff That Won't End | Red White Blues FC

<p><strong>Red, White & Blues FC | Chelsea Transfer Wrap-Up</strong></p><p>Daniel and Jason are (mostly) done with the World Cup — Norway’s the adopted team now, sorry England fans — and turn their attention back to a busy week of Chelsea business: a departure, an official arrival, and the Enzo Fernández situation that refuses to resolve itself.</p><p>We’re keeping this one tight this week (we say that every week), but there’s a lot to get through: a sale, a long-awaited official unveiling, a couple of loans out, and the Enzo saga rumbling on in the background while Argentina are still alive in the World Cup.</p><p><strong>Andrey Santos Departs for Manchester United</strong></p><p>Chelsea sold Andrey Santos to Manchester United for £48 million plus £2 million in add-ons and a 10% sell-on clause — a solid profit on the roughly £15 million Chelsea paid for him. We go back and forth on whether this is a good deal or a bad one, and land on: it depends entirely on what Santos becomes. If he turns into what Chelsea hoped, this is a disaster. If he stays league-average, it’s a great bit of business. We also get into why selling to a “top six” rival feels different than selling to a mid-table club, and why we’ve mostly made peace with the “no selling to Prem rivals” taboo being dead.</p><p><strong>Quenda Is Finally Official</strong></p><p>After what felt like months of open-secret reporting, Geovany Quenda’s move to Chelsea is officially confirmed — and yes, we question why the club waited to bury this announcement right behind the Santos sale news. We’re excited about his fit as a left wing-back in Xabi’s system, especially paired with a (hopefully healthy) Estêvão, who’s reportedly back in training after a hamstring issue.</p><p><strong>Outgoing Business: Tyrique George, Jesse Derry, Harrison Murray-Campbell</strong></p><p>Tyrique George heads to Everton for £18 million (rising to £24 million with add-ons and a 15% sell-on clause), and we make the case that he was arguably better than both Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens before Chelsea went out and bought both of them anyway. Jesse Derry is off on a season-long loan to Sporting after signing a new contract, and Harrison Murray-Campbell joins newly promoted side KV Kortrijk in the Belgian Pro League. We also give BlueCo credit — genuinely — for consistently attaching sell-on clauses to these young departures.</p><p><strong>The Enzo Fernández Situation</strong></p><p>This one’s not going away. Enzo still hasn’t committed to the club, Real Madrid and Man City have both publicly denied interest, and with Argentina still alive in the World Cup, nothing can really move until the tournament ends. We talk through the risk of him missing the start of the season entirely once reintegration and match fitness are factored in, why we think Xabi Alonso is the only person who can actually win him over, and whether he should keep the vice-captaincy after everything that’s happened this summer (our answer: yes — stripping it would be exactly the wrong move).</p><p><strong>Rumors: Garnacho, Chalobah, and the Center-Back Search</strong></p><p>Garnacho is reportedly free to leave with Chelsea seeking £40 million — a number we find absurd given his season. Trevoh Chalobah’s future is still parked at a £30 million valuation with no real movement. And we dig into the center-back and left-back links (Maxence Lacroix, Como’s Jacobo Ramón, and Rayo Vallecano’s Pep Chavarría) with a theory that the whole thing smells like a BlueCo negotiating tactic more than a real pursuit.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
