Wishlist Fabinho

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

Keita and Fabinho in a midfield behind Salah,Mane,Firmino and maybe Fekir is a squad that is good enough to challenge next season.

Maybe we aren’t the priority of abramovich anymore ..  

 

this is how they do business. Action,action ,action. No words!! 

We have ambition but we haven’t the ability to negotiate fast !!

We spent 40m on a guy we're still not even sure is a professional footballer.

Liverpool spend 55m on the reason that made our failure of a transfer look like a professional footballer.

Lmao

 Making smart signings is also a sign of ambition.

I don't agree with that at all. Just take a look at Dortmund. they make excellent signings year in year out. They're able to turn young talent into top players. But what do they do? They sell those players when  top clubs come calling.

I Hence why competence and ambition go hand in hand. Don’t forget that our net spend over the last few seasons is ridiculously low compared to the likes of Utd and City too for example, so we can also say that our ambition in that sense has dropped given that we used to be on par with both. 

Ambition and competence are related, but one does not guarantee the other. Remember Q.P.R.? They spent massive amounts of money, only to get relegated. Our net spend may be low, but we have paid large fees for many of our players. Does our squad look like it costs £565m to assemble? Look at Tottenham. Much better squad for half the price.  Do you think Tottenham are more ambitious because they made better deals? Because if they were, I would have expected them to shell out the cash after their title challenges.

In the end, Chelsea still want to win titles. We may not be as ambitious as before, but we haven't turned into Tottenham or Arsenal, yet. It's why we are probably going to sack Conte despite barely missing out on the top 4. Liverpool have stuck with Klopp for 3 years without a trophy,  even when he failed to qualify for champion's league. United stuck with Mourinho despite finishing 6th, and Tottenham appear to be content just staying in the top 4. They aren't more ambitious, they are just smarter in their dealings, or in United's case a bigger wallet.
