Popular Post! Gundalf 806 Posted June 25, 2023 Popular Post! Share Posted June 25, 2023 I think some people still dont realise how special and unprecedented our situation is. Has there ever been a club that was undergoing a more drastic change over such a short period, happening out of nowhere? bigbluewillie, Cosmin, bohops and 6 others 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has there ever been a club that was undergoing a more drastic change over such a short period, happening out of nowhere? Nope. Having a club suddenly ripped from the hands of one owner, having the government seize control of it, and then find a new owner within such a short span is totally without precedent. We’re seeing right now how long and complicated a process of new ownership is with a massive club like ours with the Man United situation. It’s been how many months since the Glazers started the process? And there’s still no clear picture there. Johnnyeye and Gundalf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gundalf 806 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Ben Jacobs just said on twitter space that the fee for Ziyech will be around 10m€ and that Pulisic will rather be loaned than sold even tho Chelsea prefers a permanent deal but feel like there wont come any offers for that.

Pizy 19,249 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Saw Barella trending on Twitter and clicked on it hoping it was something Chelsea related but instead all the posts are about Liverpool moving for him. Man, I really hope we don’t let him go there without fighting like mad. Really, we should be making him our primary midfield target before Caicedo when the prices being talked about are similar.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Koulibaly I was always concerned about his age and fitness. You could see the ability was still there but he just was not able to play his athleticism-reliant game in PL which made him an absolute downgrade compared to Rüdiger who despite only 2 years younger is still in his prime. 17 minutes ago, Vesper said: us buying him was one of the low points along with CuCu when we buy players I vehemently say NO on, they are always disasters Donkeykaku, Drinkwater, Pulisic and Ziyech also come to mind Cucu was almost on a level with Lukaku, which I detailed in his thread before. Pulisic, Ziyech and even Drinkwater I would say those were just gambles that did not pay off. Drinkwater would have been ok as squad player had he been able to just maintain his Leicester form. We just gave wages too high to shift him as his fitness went downhill. Ziyech was always a 50:50. If he were better at dribbling he might have compensated for his lack of pace like Mata did but he was just too one-dimensional. Pulisic always had the talent but was just made of glass. Don't think he would have ever become the world beater the US wanted him to be but without the injuries he surely would have at least reached consistent international class. On a side note, happy for Kepa to tie the knot. Apparently his self-confidence is very reliant on his private life, so hopefully this makes him come back stronger next season. Granted, his arms wont grow any longer but if he just cuts the stupid errors he should not the main obstacle to top 4 if he just maintains the level of last season.

It puzzled me, why Chelsea would sign him. Might not have been extremely old, but he was extremely over the hill. But that said, I also never thought he was even close to warrant the hype he was receiving in serie a. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying stuff like this is just nonsense. Sure he may be someone who is better with confidence, but who isn't? Additionally, if he is so reliant on his performance in the work place on what is happening at home. I really fear. I mean, who hasn't been in an adult relationship, and one member has got upset with the other over slight grievance and given them the ol' slient treatment/made them to believe they aren't good enough/fulling the needs of the other? If he is so relaint on that, marriage isn't going to save him past the honeymoon period (so let's say 6 months if they've not been together for very long.) That aside, Kepa is no way being saved from his limitations by being in a stable relationship. Just look at the stats of the guy. Even in his 'good periods' he is far too liable to being beaten by long shots to his corners and he is additionally poor in his ability to stop one on one's and deal with aerial balls if you take away his performances in La Liga were such things aren't played so much. Sure he is good at 'springing up' - so he can do multi-save in the box - but that comes with most small GK's as there isn't so much of them to have to pick up. Kepa has been a bust since the day we brought him. The fact that people think he can become a GK that even teams in the 10-15 range in the PL think they can get by with is frankly laughable.

What happened to our ambition? 600m in last 12 months spent and surely we will spend another 200m now. Imagine Guardiola spending 800m in 14 months. That would be walk in the park title if not everyone would make fun of him. Yet we are here, everyone is like top4 would be amazing success after spending so much money never seen before. Sorry but with that money top4 should never be in question and title push is must. We are where we are and contemplating unrealistic goals can't help. No question, our squad should be a lot better considering the money spent. It isn't however, so we have to reconstruct. Soundly.
