As well as being a decent option for a rwb back up. If the numbers of 25m + add ons are right, not a poor deal. He will be far better as a back up than ziyech or Puli. No way. At least Ziyech scores goals and would probably score a lot more if he was played regularly. Last Sicarius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact it was the only thing said about him. "Scoring goals" is not the only thing we should be looking at, it's how the player fits the team. We really are scraping bottom of the barrel with the likes of Auba and Gordon. Panic mode setting in. We missed a trick with Gabriel Jesus, the one that got away. 😒 He might be the difference between Arsenal finishing above or below us.

chelsea_4_eva 1,182 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Its not the Auba part most of us are against, its the Auba for a fee after he terminated his contract and Barca got him for free just a few months prior.

Its just too easy to score goals in this league. Thats why I dont buy this Osimhen hype at all, I mean even bloody 33yo Arnautovic (we laughed about Uniteds interest in him) scored the exact same amount of goals last season in a worse team. 32yo Immobile scored DOUBLE. Auba on the other hand has proven it in the PL (unlike Lukaku) and in La Liga. He had the best conversion rate last year in La Liga, quite above Benzema. His xG was 7, he managed to score 11 in 17 games. I think we can all agree we need a striker. Yes, we were great against Spurs, but yet again 2 goals scored by defenders, against Everton it was a pen. So still 0 goals in 2 games by our attackers. Our attackers just cant score. Its the same pattern as last year. We dont need another shiny, dribbly attacker, we need someone, who gets the ball, shoots and scores. Auba can do this job imo, considering how complicated the striker market is atm. Ofc its not the ideal addition, but having him for 1 or 2 years while we search for a suitable long term addition isnt the worst thing ig. Its a dilemma really. We need a striker, but the right choice doesnt seem to be available atm. We really should have gone for Jesus. But he was considered a chance waster as well at City. Maybe thats why we didnt pursue him, idk. Yes, paying a fee for him is just another "Barca fucks Chelsea" moment, but tbh, I dont see the alternatives. Yes, maybe Ronaldo, but Ronaldo destroys dressing rooms. Edited August 15, 2022 by Gundalf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe he's earmarked to join later but no chance this summer, not even for £100M. we are going to have a massive tussle with Manure for Rice next year I wager, unless they pull De Jong. and lie even then, especially if those cunts the Glazers finally sell off Edited August 15, 2022 by Vesper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV contracts are getting larger and the value of PL Teams are expected to raise sharply in the next 5 years. They are also making a fortune from kit sales and tshirt sales. They are top of the heap at selling team trinkets and tshirts. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we will ever see us play a lone DMF under Tuchel. Always a pivot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want to shake off their humans rights record and burnish their image by getting publicity via their very visible involvement in the PL. why would they also support ilium club behind closed doors? They would not get anything out of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
