The ability for the manager to rotate as he sees fit is an advantage Man City have been clever enough create for themselves. If we're on the way to duplicating that then all hail the new regime. Exactly. I’ve seen supporters from rival clubs asking why we’re signing so many quality players in positions we’re already well stocked in and I just point to Man City. For years now City have had essentially 2 starting XI quality squads. With the exception of De Bruyne, Pep has been able to rotate just about any player in his XI without any real drop in quality. This is what we’re trying to have at Chelsea and it’s what many of us have been begging for for ages. So that we’re never forced to watch our entire season collapse when we get 1 or 2 key injuries.

NikkiCFC 8,516 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Another reason to qualify for at least Europa League. Potentially 15 more games in a season and would be a great chance to play backups like Gusto. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironic as Lamptey is a player who came through our academy and had many fans questioning why we let him go as he was a real livewire when he burst on to scene for Brighton. This season, I think he has managed 1 league start which is really strange. Seemed to have fallen out of favour under Potter and now Zerbi too. Seems the injuries he picked up before have set him back as Brighton prefer playing a CM at RB instead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then, I think he may not be interested in moving. Let's see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoroccanBlue 5,399 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Ziyech has come off a fantastic world cup and is a European Champions, why would he settle for Everton? Newcastle makes sense. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 19,280 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Enzo’s not happening. Let’s just put that out of our heads for this month. Too late in the window, too important to Benfica’s season. We now pray that we’re still at the front of the queue in the summer and he’s by far our #1 target. We will need to roll out the red carpet and make him feel like he’ll be the centerpiece of the new Chelsea project in order for him to choose us over the many other suitors he’ll have.

There will be a lot of competition. It would not be a bad idea to complete the deal this window, including the long contract while the FFP calculation still over the entire length of the contract and then loan him back to finish the season. It is getting too late for them to find a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
