Saint Garrett Posted 1 August, 2021 Share Posted 1 August, 2021 Seems to be a positive signing if true, seems highly rated by Chelsea fans. Wonder what the deal is like, can imagine it’s got a high % sell on fee / add ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a different situation to Simeu. Simeu was out of contract on 30th June 2021, but due to being under 23 and Chelsea offering him a contract it meant Saints either had to come to an agreement with Chelsea or it go to a tribunal. Livramento is not out of contract until 2022. So it would be a normal transfer if Saints sign him.

Saint Matty 76 Posted 1 August, 2021 Share Posted 1 August, 2021 (edited) Looks like he's going to cost £5m. The article states he can play both sides of defence as well, so that's a big bonus.

The Curse of St Mary's Posted 1 August, 2021 Share Posted 1 August, 2021 Based on reactions from Chelsea fans this seems like a real coup. Can play either side at full back / wing back.

hypochondriac Posted 1 August, 2021 Share Posted 1 August, 2021 If he can play rb and lb then that's a great signing and really strengthens us at the back. If we can get in a decent dm then I won't mind so much about not strengthening the attack. If we keep hold of our players and got one more in after this then that's a good window imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skintsaint Posted 2 August, 2021 Share Posted 2 August, 2021 Chelsea are our feeder club. Positive signing going on what I am reading on various websites. Hard step up from reserve football to the top flight though, but can't complain about the club signing players like these in and around the first team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 2 August, 2021 Share Posted 2 August, 2021 Chelsea have proved they can bring through young talent (Hudson-Odoi, James, Mount, Abraham - real name Kevin, who knew!) in their current squad so it is a surprise that they seem to be shedding youngsters to us. I don't know anything about Livramento bar what I read, but he seems to be a right back that can play at left back, so perhaps he sees James as direct competition and blocking his pathway. A lot of Chelsea youngsters seem to be jumping ship though, in spite of the pathway that seems to be there. Simeu and Livramento to us, Tomori and Guehi have already left them, Bate and Myles Peart-Harris have left recently too. And Gilmour and Gallagher are out on loan. Maybe there is something rotten in the state of ̷D̷e̷n̷m̷a̷r̷k̷ Chelsea perhaps. They also have a wealth of more senior players that are unlikely to get a look in, so perhaps that's telling. Loftus-Cheek, Barkley, Rahman, Ampadu, Drinkwater, Chalobah, Bakayoko, Baker, Batshuai, are all on their books still. And most of them CDAJFU in my opinion! Sounds like a coup if we pull it off though. Chelsea seems to be a decent team to raid this summer. It also provides us with the full back cover we desperately need. I wonder if this means Valery will be off, as I thought we'd keep him this season and bring in a left back as competition to Perraud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper looks like a very good deal. Not getting too excited about the ‘future super star’ comments. If he’s that good, Chelsea will probably have a buy back clause and / or he’ll be gone before he reaches that level anyway. Hopefully he can have an impact like lamptey did at Brighton.

Daft Kerplunk Posted 2 August, 2021 Share Posted 2 August, 2021 Young players got a chance at Chelsea because they had a transfer ban.

Let’s face it, the academy has been somewhat barren ground of late, so this makes much sense. And one of the reasons for that is because Chelsea's academy hoovers up so much of the talent in the south, as Man City's does in the north, by offering ridiculous incentives to kids' parents that we simply cannot compete with. So there's a kind of poetic justice about us signing one of their brightest prospects. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We struggled to bring through fullback cover from our own academy? No matter, lets just sign the best player from the best academy in the country. He was Chelseas top scholar playing with the under 23's and he's just 18, that's mad! You only have to look at the list of Chelsea's previous top scholars to realise how exciting this is: 2015: Solanke 2016: Tomori 2017: Mount 2018: James 2019: Gallagher 2020: Gilmour 2021: Livramento That is some prestigious company. I genuinely think for a club of our size and for the position we are trying to fill (back up fullback) he is the best signing we could have made. Much better than an expensive loan for Brandon Williams or a bid for Neco Williams. Probably better than even Doig. For those saying "it's not that great" or "we're not signing Haaland". We will never sign Haaland or a player of his size, make your peace with that. When it comes to signing a back up fullback this player is a masterstroke in my opinion.

They’ll be a clause in the contract (usually expires after a certain period), that they can buy them back for x amount. It’s basically a release clause, but only for a certain club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to focus on the 1st team and rarely worry about players out on loan. They had a buy back on Lukaku and ignored it. If he's that good (potentially) then this is a good move.
