Since Abramovich its been unprecedented success - even if you're talking of the last decade -Premier League winners 3 times, Champions League Winners twice and current European Champions, FA Cup winners 3 times, UEFA League Winners twice, UEFA Super Cup Winners, League and League Cup Double, FA Cup and Champions League Double. If thats 'stagnation' we'll have more please 2017 onwards. You dont spend as much as we do and be considered a ‘cup’ team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realy wanna know how will Halaand perform outside Buli. He is very good in CL aswell, but so far Kai, Sancho, Werner, Haller failed massively in terms of scoring goals in england. BULI and Serie a have worse defences than PL, Laliga or even L1. If we ever target a proven, expensive striker, it should be from these leagues. Or go for upcoming gem, less known striker from smaller club. It seems these perform better nowdays than marquee signings. I guess price and wages realy affect striker minds who arent nothing but big babies these days.

I think he can get there eventually whether it's as early as next season remains to be seen. But we will likely need a cheap/loan option to come good to offset the Rom fee (ala Mendy/Kepa) so Broja is the hope here. DDA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is insane enough to want a pointing statue upfront for £100m/£350k+ a week? As said by I and many when he was brought, he is a poor player and once brought he would be a millstone around our neck for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have to take a loss, maybe around £80m - £90m to sell Lukaku. As for the clubs who could afford him are Juventus, Atletico, PSG, Barcelona, and Newcastle.

I was unhappy with Lukaku because Belgium lost the 2018 world cup vastly through his miserable performance in the semi (and I had some good wagers). Last summer there were the following names in the market for Chelsea centre forward: Haaland - Lukaku - Kane - Lew The first and the fourth were not for sale as it worked out. Would you be happy with us making no expensive transfer or with Kane perhaps ? Edited January 16, 2022 by cosmicway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmicway 1,333 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) DM-WB-CB are defensive positions. Defensive midfielder, wing back, centre back. Sure, we 'd like someone like Tiago and ten years younger. But it's the attack we seem to have problem, in the years after Didier-Lamps. Costa was good but we did n't really like him. Then Remy-Pato-Morata were not even EPL material and Werner lost his legs against Fyrom Macedonia. Hazard too departed and Giroud was 34.

Our downfall started from Chilwell, James + at one point all of Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic got injured at the same time. Before those injures we were above City and looked like a genuine title contenders.
