Pizy 19,280 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 At least if Barca or City do come back in for him it won’t really sting at all since we’ve only been linked with him for such a short time rather than months like Koundé. It’ll be an utter joke if Barca take another of our targets, though. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boosted in the sense that his reputation was enhanced in the eyes of many while the team struggled in his absence. Because Ben's injury came during a spell of mostly good form, people forgot and forgive his long spell of indifferent form in a Chelsea shirt. The truth is our high league place in the winter belied the way we were playing and was never going to last even if the wingbacks had stayed fit. What looked like falling off a cliff because Ben and Reece were missing was in fact mostly about our results catching up with our performances. I've said all along that if we sign a LB/LWB it needs to be an upgrade to Ben, not a backup. We have disagreed on this before and I respect you opinion but I think you are overly harsh here. Chilly has been really good for most of his time here IMO. He was brilliant in our Cl run last year and was scoring for fun in the first half of last season. RJ makes him look a bit ordinary but compared to other players in his position Chilwell is still quality. And that is not just my opinion. Despite a collapse in market value as a consequence of his i jury he is still ranked as 7th most valuable lb . would be no. 4 if not for his injury would consider chilly comfortably in the top 10 for both best lb and lwb in world football. saw another poster saying chilly was slow. That is also objectively not the case. At least pre injury. Chilwell was recorded in the top 15 of fastest PL players in 2019. He has consistently clocked over 34 kmh which is very decent. anyway it does not even matter. Unless chilly returns seriously wrecked from that injury there will not even be a clear upgrade out there. Maybe phonzie or Theo for 100m+ but that’s it. 4 hours ago, Blues Forever said: Don't know why we didn't even try to get Raum. Not sure either. My best guess is that Raum is seriously questionable in defence and has only had one top flight season in his career at 24. However he is absolutely brilliant going forward I wager it is one of this PL proven cases. We signed baba Rahman after a similar Bundesliga season as David Raum and it backfired. Then we went for chilly over regoilon and it paid off. cucurella now is a lot more experienced at top level despite being a bit younger, much better defensively and more comfortable on the ball. Raum would have been comparatively cheap and worth a punt tho. With his superior pace, energy and directness he would be brilliant as an offensive lwb in PL. cucurella is the more conventional option. Imo it only makes sense to buy him for 50m if he would start I.e Chilly being indeed seriously damaged or him being planned as lcb . Mich better decision to spend the same dough on that slacker Ake tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, we don’t want Werner to go to another PL club and suddenly turn into the old version to embarrass us every week. Him returning to Leipzig is ideal. And hopefully on a permanent deal so his massive wages are off the book and we don’t have to worry about it next summer. Laylabelle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,399 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Work in progress for Marc Cucurella deal. Chelsea are on it on both club and player side, waiting to complete full agreement with Brighton. Deal well advanced. 🚨🔵 #CFC No issues on player side. Man City confirm they have no intention to improve their £40m bid. @FabrizoRomano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluephoenix 1,135 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I am curious who is going to be our main striker for next season?

Stats 7,227 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 TBH, I am shocked that City aren't pursuing this deal. Walker is getting on and is injury prone. Cucurella will fit their LB spot for years to come and suits their football style perfectly. They spent £100m on Grealish, over £40m on Phillips who doesn't get in their best team. £40m on Ake who they did not need and will end up playing LB a lot next season when they get injuries. Cucurella for £50m is a deal. Their loss honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
