Everyday they bid and get players in. if they want top 4, they need more a CB for sure, it is a an absolute must but now (atm) here is their starting XI GK Pickford CB Michael Keane CB Yerry Mina or Mason Holgate (they only have 3 CB's at remotely starting level, Pennington is dross) <<<< desperately need upgrade here LB Lucas Digne RB Djibril Sidibe DMF Jean-Philippe Gbamin CMF André Gomes (lots of depth, and potentially Abdoulaye Doucouré) AMF Gylfi Sigurdsson LW Richarlison RW (who knows, as I type they have bids, including 2nd and even third for Zaha, Iwobi, and rumours of Suso, Ziyech, Hirving Lozano (please no) and Ismaïla Sarr) CF Moises Kean if they sort the other winger and especially CB, they are really a dangerous team Atomiswave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throwing money at every flashy thing they see. I swear they've bid for about 15 players this summer. Whats weird is that they've just unveiled plans for a new stadium just a week ago. Usually that means tightening the purse strings, not going crazy with the spending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new stadium is on the docks not exactly prime real estate unlike London where rates are extortionate. Spurs just tarted up their stadium and will be making money hand over fist, Man City and West Ham were practically given stadiums only Arsenal have actually moved ground and paid for it themselves.

Not criticizing, just pointing out how odd it is. A club that has never spent huge money just out of nowhere becoming potentially the highest spenders this summer.

Hope we sort it out man, SB will always be special but we need to act soonish or be left behind in that regard. Shame we didnt go ahead with the plan, would have been a sight. 1 hour ago, Iggy Doonican said: Don't want to be pedantic son but I've noticed you saying this a lot and fair play your English is excellent but the word is bonkers.

If it's real I'd love to know the true reason(s) behind it for once. Length and terms of Arsenal contract offer too good to turn down? Doesn't feel he can play under a former teammate? Has fallen out with Frank or Marina? Doesn't believe in SFL and/or his inexperienced coaching staff? Doesn't believe in the Chelsea project anymore (thinks we're drifting with an ordinary squad)?

Doesn't believe in the Chelsea project anymore (thinks we're drifting with an ordinary squad)? hard not to drift a wee bit with a huge t-ban and players like Luiz getting 2 year extensions that smash up our no-multiyear-contracts-for-30-somethings policy I still say overall we are on the right path, BUT, dammit, we better go HUGE next summer too many holes to plug potentially to not do so my fervent hope is that our CB's somehow gel, and our CF's surprise young and old Blues alike IF those two things happen, and the next day and a half goes badly for Manure, Spuds, Arse, Everton (have to add them in now) and Wolves, then I feel we have a 50/50 shot at top 4 lots of ifs, but I have hope above all else (in terms of this year) I wish Roman could get his visa shite sorted and he comes back with a vengeance and renewed drive to keep the project (including a new stadium) going OhForAGreavsie, Atomiswave and 1chelsea 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
