Boehly has single handedly done a tremendous job in making sure every top prospect in world football not want to join us in the future. He has had his pants pulled down by clubs all over Europe in less than 6 months. No player or club will want to work with this kind of behavior.
I think our midfield is still the biggest issue. I even advocated that last summer ahead of bringing in defenders.
Jorginho is such a limited player and even a fit Kovacic and Kante are still vastly limited.
It’s going to be Jorginho + Caicedo/Kovacic/Kante/Zakaria/Ruben. He adds onto the list of advanced ball winners/runners.
Enzo is the perfect profile of player we desperately need and we are low balling and likely walking away. Feel sick tbh.
Lol Brighton are going to bleed us dry for Caicedo. We’ve shown our hand. We’ve fucked our selves. As if they will even sell.
Even so, bringing in Caicedo means Jorginho continues to be a nailed on starter. Kill me now.
The worst thing about all of this, is that Enzo WANTS the move.
This isn’t like De Ligt, Dembele, or Raphinha where they were waiting for Bayern/Barcelona.
I think what's horrific is that it isn't entirely out of the realm of possibility both Jorginho and Azpilicueta are starting for us in the 2024 season.
An utter miracle we won the CL under Tuchel after this catastrophic array of poor transfers since 2017.
