Vesper

triple change

dammmmmit

fuck, sniper Bowen on now

watch out now Rice is going to rip through our lollygagging MF

wtf was that Kante?

Declan Rice Jarrod Bowen Michail Antonio just sitting there waiting

IF West Ham win the Europa league (and thus get CL) there is zero chance they sell Rice for anything less than £100 to £120m

Mount (if you count him as a MFer) and Gallagher

missing Antonio Rüdiger Andreas Christensen Ben Chilwell Reece James Mateo Kovacic Callum Hudson-Odoi (he would be far better at RWB than RLC) all at once is just killing us

it is like watching a slow-moving death

Kante gets in SO many great positions all season, every season, and simply just cannot do fuckall with it

holy shit are we dire

fucking pikeys are out-singing us badly

no clue

lol, the bloke in the stands told Coufal 'be a good lad now and fuck off' lololol

no DMF no RB one (barely) CB, the horrific Sarr 3 shit left backs (if you include Sarr as a LB as well, plus Saul as a LB, plus Kenedy, lol) and 2 CMFs, Saul again, plus the turgid Barkley

our bench is SHIT Pulisic and Ziyech and then fuckall plus Kepa

2021-22 English Premier League Chelsea West Ham United https://www.sportnews.to/sports/2022/premier-league-Chelsea-vs-west-ham-united-s1/ https://www.totalsportek.com/football/Chelsea-going-to-play-west-ham-on-24-april/

Don't forget Tomori (I thinink the best of the 3 perhaps, for sure better than Zouma) Attila Szalai was on most of my larger lists, but I wanted to tighten it up to the top 10 targets Colwill can play centre CB obviously so can Marquinhos as can Pau Torres, KK, Robin Le Normand, Josko Gvardiol, Merih Demiral, de Ligt you want to see an impact, look at Adam Webster when he plays versus not plays

4 more wins (so 74 points), unless you mean if we beat West Ham today, then it is 3 more needed after that to mathematically clinch at least 4th atm lets say we end on 71 (win 3, lose 4, OR win two, draw 3, lose two OR win one, draw 6) IF spuds win out (the Pool game is the hardest by far) and arse wins out, other than Spuds (much more possible) we are fucked Spuds at 73 Arse at 72 Chels 71 NOT saying that spuds and arse will win every game (other than the one they play each other) but we are talking mathematically clinching at this exact instant

and summer of 2023 they come calling for Reece 😢

ffs if Azpi leaves as well this is all we have to pick from for CB (and Thiago is gone in a year and a month) Thiago Silva Trevoh Chalobah Levi Colwill (my god had he best come good, and do it quick) Ethan Ampadu (meh and more meh, but we may have to roll with him) Jake Clarke-Salter (almost zero chance he is even Chels bench quality) Matt Miazga (almost zero chance he is even Chels bench quality) Malang Sarr (shoot me now)

we are in DEEP shit next season, barring a massive buying spree by the new owners our CB situation is FUCKED losing Rudiger is deflating as hell fuck Kounde, he has been shit very game I have watched him, he is short, rash, not football smart, bad positioning, bad attitude we should grab 2 off this list, and one of them must be from the red (WC now) I removed a lot (and added back Marquinhos) the two I would do are in bold Matthijs de Ligt Milan Skriniar (last big go-round for me with him, as he turns 29 in the middle of the season after next, and it is insane to buy a CB for £65, 70m and only get one full sub 30yo year out of them Pau Torres (he has finally won me over, potential WC, would much rather take him than Kounde) Kalidou Koulibaly (if a fair price, as he turns 31yo on June 20) UNLIKELY Bremer (a beast, has developed into a rock solid CB) Merih Demiral (has been immense for Atalanta) Josko Gvardiol (good young Croatian) Robin Le Normand (a French Basque, super on the ball, good height, 1.88m, has come on so much lately for Real Sociedad) Adam Webster (IF we are going for a home-grown, he is it) Edmond Tapsoba the following are all off the list due to renewals or imminent renewals or they have confirmed they are going elsewhere Marquinhos Nico Schlotterbeck FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKK Ronald Araújo Wesley Fofana Niklas Süle Sven Botman

FUCK!🤬

I feel like we are being sold a pig in a poke with a lot of these bids, (many obviously no longer in the running) I don't gave a toss about Broughton and Lord Coe's smiling English faces, or celebrity athletes like Hamilton and Williams tossing in a combined amount than would not even cover a goddamn decent RB's transfer fee I REALLY want to see the hard money numbers backing it all we did with Ricketts, and at least that bid had the transparency to say (as I predicted, and not including the political shit), whelp, we are out, as we want to make money and we cannot see doing that, so fuck it to keep us at WC level, we will BURN money, especially until the new stadium starts to increase revenue ffs, I so wish we had a white knight insanely rich buyer lined up (looking at you, Kuwaitis, get on the phone with Boehly or Broughton, ffs)
