Puliiszola 519 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 2 hours ago, Tomo said: I personally only see Gilmour at DM/DLP, he looks a fish out of water playing higher up. Kai or Ziyech will likely take one CM position while the other is a winger. So that leaves a 5 (for the two 8 positions) of Kai/Ziyech, Mount, Kova, RLC, Ross. Given next seasons schedule and RLC's injury phroneness (not to mention the doubts around his suitability for FL's system and whether or not his form at the back end of 18/19 was an outliner) i think we can do a lot worse than keep Barkley as an insurance policy (if, as i said, he's happy to play that role). Fair enough. I still feel we are a DM away from being truly elite. A proper sitting DM, a Declan rice. With the CB, GK signings that we have done, it seems obvious that we don't have funds anymore now. If we can somehow sell Barkley and jorginho (lots of links with roma), it can give us the push to get Rice which might change my expectations for the season.

milka 3,394 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Lampard’s Chelsea were behind only Manchester City and Liverpool for goals scored last season with Willian, Pedro, Giroud and Tammy. Pulisic also only started 50% of games. Imagine what we’ll produce with Werner, Ziyech, Havertz and a fully fit Pulisic. I cannot wait.

MoroccanBlue 5,381 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 With Pulisic we'd still be at a positive spend at around 20 million. Love the meltdown from opposing clubs thinking we are breaching FFP without looking at any context. Johnnyeye and oldportblue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,903 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Thought for sure we'd see at least 1 announcement today but it doesn't look like it. Figured Thiago Silva would be confirmed today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can handle the language barrier and remain fit he is the 2nd best CB in the league after VVD even at age 36.

He's always been injury prone, since his Dortmund days. Thankfully we have Havertz and co to provide those goals and assists if he's not available.

Okay, maybe we have a different definition of "fully fit" here but worth remembering that Pulisic started 12 consecutive in all competitions between October and December and started 9 of the 12 games post restart and came of the bench in another 2. So, the problem is that is not he can't be fully fit but making sure his hamstring doesn't fall to pieces because of over playing etc and doesn't miss a large chunk of games. With more options next season, I expect/hope Lampard will manage his situation better. Muzchap, kellzfresh and Johnnyeye 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
