Rekin 835 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 A team is built up over more than a years worth of transfers. Getting some young talent meant for the first team is a great step, and I believe Baba and Stones can serve the club for a long time.Having said that, last season showed weaknesses in the squad that have not been adressed this summer, and the team will suffer the consequences. The depth in midfield, fitness issues up top and still not having the right candidate for the right wing need to be dealt with.Like Mourinho said though, these things are not always solved right away, they might already have candidates for those positions, but for one reason or another wont make their move until winter or next summer. We need to see this as a long game, rather than just "this season".I think Chelsea will struggle to retain the league though (but still have a great chance to win), and will not win CL.

Duppy Conqueror 1,537 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 we will certainly need to have some cup luck/backs to the wall moments to conquer to win the European Cup this season. we aren`t the most talented team in Europe but the most talented teams don`t always win it and the same applies for all Cup tournaments.being League Champions of England is always my number 1 priority tho...a League championship is always earned and won by the best team in it. we have our work cut out to be that this year but I think over the course of a season I`d still put us as favourites marginally. our depth is currently a little worrying in certain positions.

ice-boy 165 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Does he need work permit? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Nothing to get excited about, he will be warming the bench until Dave/Ivanovic picks up an injury or have a fallout with Mourinho. Neither will get dropped so wouldn't surprise me if by the end of this season he barely even beaks double figure for amount of games played this season.

Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 They're probably sorting his work permit. Won't take long though with such massive transfer fee and wages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guddy69 174 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Do you want dave ect to get injured or would you rather we just didn't buy anyone. ... I don't understand your post, if he doesn't play much by the end of the season it's most likely because we are winning the league again ..

I don't understand your post, if he doesn't play much by the end of the season it's most likely because we are winning the league again ..How did you infer that from my post? I didn't say my preference for anything, just stating my opinion on his career here this season at least. I couldn't care who we play if we win the league, maybe even 11 unkown players from academy if possible as long as we win the league.I am just saying the impact this guy makes here would be minimal unless one of the above condition happens. Hence since he won't directly impact our performance this season there is no reason to get excited about this signing, especially since he is gonna be a backup LB and we all know Jose hates to rotate his defenders often.

Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Over/Under on number of matches we see Baba--Azpilicueta as fullbacks? Ima go 5 max. 2/3 COC matches.
