It’s why I felt Raphinha would’ve been fantastic from the get go. We should be targeting Bowen from West Ham. Maybe Saint-Maximin if he has another solid season. If ASM keeps it up I think he will be PSG bound if ppl sit on there hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,928 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I’m assuming he’s going to be our #2 when he comes in January if we’ve been chasing him so hard and paying a decent fee for him. Would explain why we’re fine letting Kepa go on loan. We might be fucked if Mendy gets an injury in the meantime, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one of Marina's greatest weaknesses. She refused to take mild losses on the pure shit buys we did, plus turned down huge profits at times now we either take utter shit prices or lose on frees for nothing they sum total when the books are closed an he reign in terms of net losses is going to be insane, especially when wages are factored in between shit buys, shit sales, refused sales, refused buys, botched buys (the Italians just ran the road with her over and over and over), botched sales, insanely poor contract management, way too high of salaries, etc etc, it could easily top £700m cumulative over the past 6, 7 years if we lose most all of the remaining dregs on frees she did great on a few sales thanks to the utter stupidity of Atletico and then Hazard to Real, but that only tends to gloss over the wreckage, not just in lost monies, put also the pickles we kept getting ourselves into (including now) hats off for the trophies we won, but the cost was so so unnecessarily high Edited July 31, 2022 by Vesper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,202 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 watching the replay of the CS, and a PERFECT example of why I do not like short CB's in the EPL Ake smoked in the air for the first goal, if he was 6cms taller (so 1.86m) he would have easily blocked it or (and this goes to his lack of quality) if he had the positioning of Thiago Silva, he might have as well, as he could have been on balance to leap more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We literally approached him when it was practically official he was heading to PSG. Like I said no plan Vesper and Norfolkblue1961 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was talk of club exploring the backup GK market- Strakosha was mentioned before he joined Brentford. Will need a backup keeper for this season and can't have Bettinelli as GK 2.

Vesper 30,202 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Chelsea 'PULLED OUT' OF JULES KOUNDE DEAL DUE TO 'DOUBTS' BEFORE BARCELONA MOVE, SEVILLA'S MONCHI REVEALS Barcelona announced that they had reached an agreement to sign Kounde on Thursday in an apparent blow for Chelsea, who had been heavily linked with the French defender. However Monchi, director of football at Sevilla, has now suggested that Thomas Tuchel's side backed out of a deal, opening the opportunity for Barcelona to make a better offer. https://www.eurosport.com/football/transfers/2022-2023/Chelsea-pulled-out-of-jules-kounde-deal-due-to-doubts-before-barcelona-move-sevilla-s-monchi-reveals_sto9066830/story.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea_4_eva 1,182 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Well I am happy that the club didnt go ahead with the Kounde deal if they had doubts. Yes we made a mistake of wasting our time chasing him but at least we realized our mistake and fixed it instead of making another mistake in signing him.
