It’s kind of stunning that we haven’t really been linked to a striker at all. The one most dire position of need and really the only name we’ve heard is Osimhen who is completely unrealistic. The Napoli owner will ask €150m for him at this point. And then in midfield there are plenty of names we’re linked with but we don’t seem to be advancing on any of them yet. Liverpool on the other hand are pushing forward with about 3 midfielders all at once. A club we will hope to rival to get back into the top 4. Appears we’re almost paralyzed by needing to sell our deadwood. Signing a top striker immediately is also probably the number 1 thing we can do to incentivise other players to join, seeing that we've fixed what they may perceive to be the big flaw in the team and give them a clear view that next year could be a great year to be at Chelsea. That said, don't really know what the answer is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent seen him enough, but I saw many opinions that he is more product of a system.

Your #4 somewhat contradicts your #3 tho, or at least makes either one of them not very important. I'd stick with he has hardly played, and for that reason, he was a shadow of his former self in the few matches he did play. Now, whether that's it... or was a one-time injury, which ruined him for 2 seasons, I cannot tell, or know. With all that said, nothing guarantees that we will get a player remotely close his level. Considering the latest signings, I'd not be very optimistic about the near future. There is no contradictory verbiage in my list, IMHO. I have consistently said, for years now, to sell him, that he is too injury prone (and I absolutely nailed that in terms of when that would likely start). It's illogical that some now think that he is going to become injury free. It's magical wish projection. He shows no signs of that at all. We could have had as much as £80m for him after the CL. £60m for sure in 2021. Easily enough to buy Tchou. Kante would be a FOOL to not take the €200m (for 2 years!) from the headchoppers. I think (strongly so) that if he stays here, if we re-sign him, it is just going to be a continuation of the injury nightmare. Time for you and others to make peace with it all, IMHO. I have low expectations for this window. I also think Boehly is truly a threat to completely destroy us, IF he doesn't pull his oversized head out of his fat yank arse soon. Sorry for the somewhat expansive negativity, but something is now broken inside me. My faith is badly shattered atm, hopefully not permanently. robsblubot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way it's a fucking steal. It it is euros, then it is HALF what we paid for that POS CuCu.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 He's a jack of most trades MCallister- proper all rounder who can cover many positions and reminds me of the type that would go into CB in the last ten of a cup final and completely boss it Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,942 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 With that cheap of a price for Mac Allister, Liverpool may be able to completely rebuild their midfield with 3 players for the price WH may ask for Rice or Brighton may ask for Caicedo. And neither Rice nor Caicedo are even close to as good as Enzo which shows you how massive the PL tax is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,213 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) Are we actually trying to buy Neymar????? Wtf He will be broken into multiple pieces in the EPL.

It's not me being impatient but more expected the club not to fuck around and have a clear identity of what they wanted. It's early days I know, but like the team I'm losing patience and fast And wouldn't surprise me it still like this come August then it's panic mode again...hopefully different but wouldn't surprise me if it's frustrating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
