Strike 7,489 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Barkley and Sarr seemed like low-risk signings when they came in for cheap but just shows how difficult it is to shift bodies if they are on fairly high wages and are rubbish at this level. Hope this is the last of the depth signings for the sake of it. Blue Armour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nero 1,871 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I'm so sick of this mentality. Why he can't fight for his spot like Chalobah did? These academy players making ridiculous demands bluesman2610 and Vytis33 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These academy players making ridiculous demands Players don't want to fight for their places/want the easy route and clearly don't have that strong of a connection to the club. Mount might get hate at times for his subpar performances, but his love for this club is probably second to none & it's been evident for many years (comments his father made whilst he was still a youngster). 18 minutes ago, Strike said: Barkley and Sarr seemed like low-risk signings when they came in for cheap but just shows how difficult it is to shift bodies if they are on fairly high wages and are rubbish at this level. Hope this is the last of the depth signings for the sake of it. Barkley had moments, but his attitude off the field is the main reason behind his downfall.

These academy players making ridiculous demands Reading this article, it seems Colwill is counting Emerson, Ampadu, Sarr, Azpilicueta among his competition. Tuchel needs to convince him that the minutes are there even with one more signing (Kimpembe) and that he's ahead of the likes of Sarr, Ampadu.

MoroccanBlue 5,381 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 There’s 16 league games, 6 champions league games, and 2 league cup games before the World Cup. 24 games in 14 weeks. About 2 games a week. To suggest Colwill won’t get minutes or start at the minimum 10-15 games between then is utterly ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mental and makes zero sense. You’d think Colwill along with Gallagher Tuchel would’ve wanted to prioritize.

Superblue 6,372 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 With the contract lengths of Broja and Colwill we're not in the same situation as the likes of Livramento. If they want to leave to play regularly, encourage them that the pathway is still there and a loan is in their best interests instead of leaving permanently. Compared to all the other top teams, our squad is already brimming with academy players. I feel Gallagher will get quite a bit of game time this season and I think Ampadu will stay in the squad too due to his versatility to play multiple positions. After Chalobah last season, and the likes of Mount and James before them, this should be more than enough evidence to point to players that there are opportunities in our squad if they are good enough. Ironically we seem to be hoovering up a lot of highly rated players in the 16 - 18 age bracket around the league this summer.

Yup. I'm hoping it is a tactic targeting several deals and eventually choosing to bring in one more defender Tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vytis33 1,270 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Hope the reporting is inaccurate. Colwill is what 19? How many top clubs have a defender playing serious minutes at that age? And to not take advantage of working alongside Thiago Silva is extremely shortsighted on his part. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
