not a regular one, true

YES! wtf I SO want Noni to blow up at RW there are only 2 left footed or ambipedal RWers out there who actually truly excite me (the ambidedal Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is almost exclusively a Left Winger) and both are HARD pulls Ousmane Dembélé (ambipedal) Karim Adeyemi let footed, and he blew up after switching to RW from LW also Mohammed Kudus is a lefty, but is more of an AMF type, although Poch could, I am sure get him up and running on the RW I am not that sold on Moussa Diaby atm, as he had only 1 goal (against a shambolic Hertha Berlin side) in his last 11 league games and he was completely shut down by Mou's Roma (as was Wirtz, who looked clueless) when Neverkusen crashed out in the Europa League semis

keepers that I would take over Kepa all day long (NOT saying we should buy some of these btw) : Thibaut Courtois Ederson Jan Oblak Alisson Gianluigi Donnarumma Marc-André ter Stegen Diogo Costa Giorgi Mamardashvili Mike Maignan Gregor Kobel André Onana Emiliano Martínez Anatoliy Trubin Robert Sánchez Manuel Neuer Nick Pope Alex Meret Matvey Safonov Guglielmo Vicario Odysseas Vlachodimos Bono Dominik Livakovic

I would not exactly call this a decline starting post 2005/06 17 trophies in 15 years including 3 EPL titles, 2 CLs, the UEFA Super Cup and a FIFA Club World Cup global championship and also we made the CL final in 2008 (Terry Moscow slip, arffff) and the FIFA Club World Cup final in 2012 (FSW choke job, arffff) and probably would have won the CL in 2009 (and likely another world club championship and Super Cup) if not for Tom Henning Øvrebø fucking us in the batty crease with with the worst major ref job ever (versus Barca in the semis, who went onto to smash Manure in the final, just like they did again in 2011) First Division/Premier League 3 2009–10, 2014–15, 2016–17 FA Cup 5 2006–07, 2008–09, 2009–10, 2011–12, 2017–18 Football League Cup/EFL Cup 2 2006–07, 2014–15 FA Charity Shield/FA Community Shield 1 2009 Continental UEFA Champions League 2 2011–12, 2020–21 UEFA Europa League 2 2012–13, 2018–19 UEFA Super Cup 1 2021 Worldwide FIFA Club World Cup 1 2021

When they are 80 years old they both will have their balls at their feet (or at least at their knees) #saggyoldmen

Manuel Ugarte and Milan Skriniar are two of the 6 as he was whingeing about PSG's signings which is pretty crazy if he is ripping them I would LOVE to have both!!! When it looked like we were actually going to buy Ugarte I did a deeper dive and it mitigated my concerns about his rashness and we all know I am a huge Skriniar fangirl I think he is one of the top right footed CBs on the planet atm

all good

they said which is why I thought Gus Poyet

bullshit if you truly think that, why are you even posting here? according to you we are a ruint club

I am much more angered over the fact we dropped £118m on him. If he was just a Emerson/Baba/Zappacosta level buy, then not so much.

No, people are just surgically dissecting your positings and you don't like being challenged over your hagiographic revisionism along with your near doomsday level pessimism for the present and future. simples We have all (or almost all) have had massive goes at Boehly, when he WAS FUCKING UP, but atm we truly seem to have turned the ship around, and more than a bit. Steep learning curve, but it is ludicrous to say the club is destroyed atm. IF Boehly had not hired any actual football directors, and attempted to run it all himself (along with the Clearlake lads), then yes, I can envision how the club would be destroyed, but the bloke is not a fool, he is a damn sharp businessman with previous sporting experience who is learning the footballing world, and in that learning curve he resigned as Sporting Director 7 months ago. to paraphrase: Rome wasn't destroyed (or set up to be entering a decline cycle of several years in our club's case) in a day, and it won't be rebuilt in one either. We had enough good inertia built up over 17 years to wrench out another CL win and finally win the World Club championship (and the Super Cup for the first time under Roman), but the club was massively fraying at the seams, starting with the UK Home Office denying Roman his visa years ago, which lead him to pulling the plug (heartbreakingly) on that monster new incredible 'Gothic stone temple to football' stadium. Combine that with some horrific contract management and too many shambolic buys, and the writing portending a decline was already etched upon the wall. Almost all the monster clubs who were monsters when Roman bought us (so remove Citeh and PSG) have had (or are having) issues. Barca Juve Pool ( a long period of decline after they scaped their CL in 2005, until Klopp came) Manure (they have been a trophy wreck overall since Fergie left and if not for Moscow and Terry's slip, they would be on a 25 straight year run of no CL finals wins, and ONE in the last 56 years, and only TWO ever 'best team on the planet' claims in 146 years of football, and that is even being generous, as they lost the 1968 Intercontinental Cup over 2 legs to Estudiantes (led by the great MFer Juan Ramón Verón, Juan Sebastián Verón's father) following their first CL/EC win in 1968) Arse (on the rise now after a LONG period of massive decline) AC Milan Inter Ajax was already no longer a top massive club anymore when Roman bought us. Plus Bayern almost lost the league, and are not remotely close to the machine that won the CL in a trot a few years back. One of the 2 new monsters, PSG have never won the CL and are in a hot mess with Mbappe, Neymar etc atm,, and lost Messi. I do suspect they fix themselves, but nothing is guaranteed, especially that first CL (look how long it took Citeh). Only the other new monster (Citeh) is riding high (as in top of the heap), along with Real Madrid (if they freshen it up and make smart buys, which they very likely will). Even Real had two massive gaps between being the top club on the planet. 32 years (from 1966 to 1998) with no CL final win, and then, after winning it 3 out of 5 years (1998, 2000 (and they and Manure were hammered in the 2000 FIFA World Club Cup, neither even made the final, the only two European teams ever to not even make the final), and 2002) 12 more drought years (2002 to 2014) as well, despite INSANE Galactico spending in the noughties whilst chasing La Décima.

we can snag Mamardashvili for only £21.5m we need to do it

what does this mean? asking for a freind

IF we could dump CuCu (we likely cannot) and if there was no way to get Nuno Mendes or Alphonso Davies (super hard pulls) , then Federico Dimarco would be a great LB buy this is the last summer José Gayà is on my lists (he turns 30 at the end of the season after this one) no longer sold on Theo due to his defence Andrew Robertson turns 30 this coming winter and I doubt Alejandro Balde would leave Barca for us at all that is it for elite LBs (I include a healthy Chilwell in that list) atm watch Destiny Udogie (20yo 1.88m now on Spuds) and Milos Kerkez (19yo 1.80m Hungarian on AZ Alkmaar, ex of AC Milan) (and of course, our own Lewis Hall and Ian Maatsen, who hopefully make it that we do NOT have to buy any more LBs at all)

🔴 POCHETTINO Press Conference | 7/7/23 | Chelsea FC

roflmaooooooooooo

he is not that great with the ball at his feet better than DDG, yes, but not a revelation at all

GK? or DMF? I assume GK which is hardly going to break my heart when he is pressed his distribution is dodgy an Ederson he ain't

I just wish we had not shit out 118m quid on him that money would be SO helpful now IF Destiny Udogie blows up for Spuds, I am going to be double depressed as we could have had him for only £15m last summer 15 total league goals produced as a LB in less than 2 full seasons worth of minutes in Serie A, as an 18 yo to 20 yo plus he is massive (1.88m), pacy, and strong as a bull

I didn't have it bookmarked, I just wanted to see (read only) all of the old transfer posts for historical reference, not post there anymore

I cannot see the old transfer section

I do comprehensive target lists AND I deffo say the ones I prefer of course there are going to be a lot of names, as I am looking at the entire market, including posting on youth I often post in-depth analyses of the players too I have put myself out here for years I have a decent track record, especially when it comes to predicting busts before we buy I just posted a 3 year old post on CuCu saying no thanks, do not want I can go find newer CuCu posts as well, saying nope, do not buy

I did multiple posts on why we should not buy him
