From where did Spurs unearth Udogie and Porro ? They’re both great

Werner is just as we remember him

I was happy with Enzo and Caicedo. I wanted the club to sign a midfielder who plays better with the attacking line (Odegaard lite) and not just a group of DMs like we ended up doing - Caicedo Lavia and Ugo in the summer

Doesn’t feel like it but Chelsea is above Newcastle and Man United in the table and we have won 4 of the last 5 in the league.

Really shows the difference in thinking where Pep was targeting Paqueta, Nunes in midfield and we were looking at pure data driven DM signings.

Same day last year. Willian scored in a 2-1 loss. Won't be surprised to see this repeat

High end wonderkid Brazilian. The new Endrick

Another window chasing a young CB

More proof Matt Law has lost his sources at the club

Identity alone will only take you so far. We will have the same problems in creating. We need an obsessive Pep type coach who’s able to drill attacking patterns into the young team.

A big no to this. Among the worst routes to take. His toxic narcisstic personality with the current squad will lead to the stages of burnout that you always see with Mourinho tenures. There’s no indication he’s able to build a team anymore. His last 3 jobs have had little meaningful success. The last time he built a good team was 14-15 Chelsea and that was by sacrificing KdB, Salah for Cesc, Costa. The team didn’t sustain form beyond one season either.

Would it be completely wrong to say we’ve been milked by some agents who hyped up their clients using YouTube compilations and PR? Washington, David Fofana, Diego Moreira, Lesley Ugo and few others fall in this category. Little experience, lot of hype.

I don’t think performances in this Chelsea team + out of position is any measure of his ability. He’s been called up to England for a reason. There’s a potential top CB in the league by age 24-25 imo

There's a huge difference between LB and CB. Half a season in his second position when he's 20 isn't going to help him at all.

Spent 18million on him. At some point there needs to be an enquiry into the Clearlake spendings. I doubt we make any money back on the youngsters we have signed.

There was no need to sell Hall when they clearly rated him above Maatsen and Cucurella had question marks all over him. This is a problem of the board’s own making

This cup run was the only goodwill keeping Poch clear of the sack.

He’s been doing his part but he seems isolated in attack to me.

Last season was the right time to move on but since the squad was going to be a bunch of 20-25 year olds he was kept around for ‘experience’ as if having him offsets the rest 😄

Low block today is tougher for a CF

Not entirely Caicedo. Zero communication with defenders

I’ve been a Poch defender but he’s made such poor use of the tools he’s got this season.
