Blues Forever

Really lucky Spurs saved us.

We seriously need 2 finishers next season lol.

We back in Top 4.

Saved by Spurs lol.

2 - 0

Yep, it's done Leicester and Pool in CL spot

Great penalty to Leicester......

Lack of urgency from our front three. At this rate we need at least a new striker and a goal scoring winger.

Big ask with our current performance.

Pulisic, Werner, and Chilwell have been shocking.......

Kane score

Looks like Pool and Leicester for CL spot, if we not quickly improve our finishing.

The major concern is because it could affect the signings of other positions?. It's not like we have an unlimited budget and now with this current Covid, our transfer budget could be smaller than last summer. The new striker like Lukaku at minimum would cost €100m, and we still need other positions like Backup LB, CB, and DM for example.

Except it does matter? an attacker be it Striker, Winger, and Attacking Midfielder always been more valuable than any other position in the history of football. They scores goals and likely could impact the matches result than a DM. The history also proved this, if you look the top 10 most expensive signings are mostly dominated by an attacker. That how most of the clubs valued them. Now if someone likes Haaland, Lukaku, and Sancho are available for €100m - €150m, do you really think we would blew €90m for a DM who isn't even world class? The answer is likely no chance. At that time paying £75m for Van Dijk was insane as he wasn't world class at Southampton, no one could predict he would became a world class later at Liverpool. I also still remember the negative reactions of our fans when Napoli demanded £60m for Koulibaly, who was already world class back then. As for using Abraham + £40m - £50m is still too much and there also no guarantee West Ham would accept that deal.

Well of course, Gerd had won everything both at club and NT.

Christensen?? He most likely stay.

Rice only advantage over Kamara and Tchouameni are being PL proven and has leadership, that it.

Paying big money for an attacker are more justified than for a DM. I won't have any problem if we spend over £100m for a world class player and for a position we need the most. Rice as good as he is not worth to spend £90m, the likes of Tchouameni or Kamara are far more reasonable given they are far cheaper and it's not like the gap between them and Rice are big.

This also applied to Rice, being a PL proven doesn't guarantee him success at Chelsea. Even using Abraham + £40m - £50m is still too much for someone who isn't a world class in his position, just not smart way to spend money in this current Covid.

The dislike is more about the price tag, £90m is insane money for a DM and not even a world class.

Just waste of money, there are other players who would cost far less than Rice.
