These are squad players, nothing more. So yea, Mudryk, Madueke, Sterling as starters and Puli and Ziyech as back up if we cant get rid of them. To be champions again? I hope you mean get in the CL again. Because we aren’t going to be anywhere near the too 4 this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whats happening 1,666 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 im shocked that we have not bought a back-up right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 19,287 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Expect Caicedo will get done eventually because we’ll get more desperate as the deadline approaches. But we’re going to massively overpay. Should’ve just bit the bullet and paid Enzo’s release clause. Costa19 and kexik 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will likely still be miles off in 3-4 years if we dont find good successors/upgrades for Jorginho and Kante and decent back up to James….. then the search for a good CF, plus I am doubtful that the likes of Wesley Fofana, Mudryk, etc are genuinely world beaters like the prices would indicate. Whats your hard on with the thinking Boehly throwing money purely at the wings is going to make any difference if he doesn’t sort key areas in the long run? I mean unless the intention is to play with a front 5 it would be moronic to just keep going for wingers/attacking midfielders.

Maybe they are not. We cant know yet. But what we know is that the likes of Pulisic or Ziyech definitely arent world beaters. So keeping them or not trying to replace them would just prolong our pain. And yes, midfield is still a problem. But we will address this, either now or in summer. Enzo or/and Caicedo will be ours before next season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,287 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I wonder, if we were to simply replace Jorginho with Caicedo would that be enough to dramatically elevate our team? For me personally I think we obviously improve defensively and are harder to breeze through on counters but I’m not sure that’s enough for someone who could cost £75m. If they accepted the £55m and we then went and signed another midfielder to partner him in the summer i’d say fair play. But £75m is the sort of cash you pay for a really special player. dimmas, Stats and Costa19 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehm, to be precise I have to look it up as much as you do. But I remember a few hamstring injuries that he picked up just by sprinting. Thats why im doubtful about his physique. Could well just be his young age, so lets hope he grows over it. No major knee or ankle injuries. Gundalf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura90 556 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I have no words for what's going on with transfers. If I could use one expression to describe it "Only fools and horses" comes to mind. Extremely suspicious actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,516 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 We are moving to 4231 so that means we'll need more attacking players. If everyone has a backup that is 8 attacking players needed. Mudryk Madueke Havertz Sterling Nkunku Let's say these 5 are certain for next season. We will see what's going to happen with Felix. Pulisic and Ziyech are clearly leaving. Auba is mistake and everyone knows it so for sure he won't be here either. Club as we heard sees Kai as number 10. One of Mount/Gallagher is staying so they can also occupy that position. Maybe we keep as squad players to fill the squad youngsters like Broja, Fofana, CC.
