To pass the Premier League test you need to see how these strikers do in tight areas as well as how they hold the ball. He's poor in both. Give me Lautaro with Nkunku supporting.

Hope not. Poor at holding the ball, poor passing, and poor in tight areas. Will fall on his face in the Prem. Can't think of a ST more destined to carry on the #9 curse at Chelsea. If true convinced out recruitment team needs questioning if this is who they've decided on.

Carney is nailed on going on loan. (he's not even a CM, more attacking). I'd bring in Lavia + Caicedo. Enzo Caicedo Lavia Kante. Santos, Casadei, and Carney on loan.

Seems Caicedo is the CM the club wants according to Romano.

Hopefully a sign of things to come. Ruben leaving didn't think would be possible this season.

Assuming we send Slonina there next season?

Signed a 16 year old who won't play for another 2 years and want a player who won't play for another 8 months.

I can't wait for Poch for the simple fact he will drill this team in pressing off the ball.

He will probably play against City. Enzo/Ruben/Gallagher starting. Ugh.

You'd think with Gusto coming in and TAA taking the piss this second half of the season will up his motivation.

Poch out.

Is it true the club held Hall back from entering the U20 World Cup so he could be used in these final matches? Scenes if he gets the Hutchinson treatment.

At the point where if Kovacic leaves, great. If he stays, great.

Wonder how much he would be.

Let's be real, its a nothing rumor. It makes zero sense for a magnitude of reasons and I can say with almost 90% certainty this rumor is pure 'putting two and two together'. Poch next Chelsea Manager? Poch wants certain players? Mane used to play under Poch? Mane having Bayern uncertainty? I know, let's create a Mane to Chelsea rumor.

Hopefully. Can't believe its 2023 and there are still people, journalists no doubt, that keep spewing the myth Kante is some holding midfielder. Bloke is a right winger nowadays with the amount of roaming he does.

Really? A manager as structured as Poch wants to have Kante protect the back 4 when he had disciplined CMs at both Saints and Spurs? Stop the cap.

Has to be Lavia + an already established DM. Don't trust Lavia enough to hold his own with Enzo when we are aspiring to challenge Top 4 next season. Enzo Ugarte/Rice/Caicedo Lavia Santos Kante.

Reading into it, Romano claiming that as a formality Deco offered Raphinha to Chelsea. No way do we even entertain it.

Won't ever happen. His natural instinct and best attribute is covering ground and winning the ball back. A holding midfielder is disciplined in the space that they cover.

Is Onana even better than Mendy? Really hope we go after Ugarte. Good ball winner and passer of the ball. Will complement Enzo well and a good Argentina/Uruguay dynamic.

Mate if you want a player that will play for the badge and run like a headless chicken for 90 minutes then sign me up. I'll do it for 10k a week.

Matt Law just reported the club may bring in intermediaries to help assist Stewart and Winstanley in selling these players, as our previous markets in Italy and Spain are now facing financial issues. Another report is suggesting Gallagher's 40m valuation is now deemed to high by Premier League clubs. Note that if true, we had both Newcastle and Everton willing to pay this in January. More should of been done to get Gallagher out of the door then.

You know what I get excited about after every defeat? The next 12 year old Romano is saying we are buying.

I think the tide has turned. Poch shouldn't be grateful Chelsea Football Club want him, Chelsea Football Club should be grateful Poch want's to work for them. Poch 100% knows this and is likely making his own demands now that we probably can't refuse. I just came to learn that there was a clause in Wenger's contract at Arsenal that the Kronke's couldn't enter the dressing room. I had no idea this was an actual thing. 1000% Poch is likely requesting that along with more control on decisions.
