We did fumble Ugarte (which probably would have led to us not having to panic buy Caicedo for £115m)

Ugarte would have meant no Lavia, not us not buying Caicedo

hopefully it is a wash

Lavia is also 3 or so years younger

time will tell

Personally think we would have walked away from Caicedo when it became obvious it was only going to be for silly money if we had been in a position of strength already with Ugarte in. Could be wrong but honestly would be REALLY surprised.

At the end solid window as well. 

I think in January we will get rid of more players that we couldn't get rid of now. 

Unless of course Saudi comes with some offers for our player in the next couple of days. 

Other then that happy with what we done especially after last season.

All throughout last season it was constantly "once we get this guy, we'll be back amongst the top". 

Same thing is happening now that we've had a few injuries. 

I'm sorry - but winning games against bottom of the ladder teams being dependent on Nkunku playing or not is not the signs of a top team. 

 

We have the talent. We do. People think these players are suddenly shit or not good enough... No. We suffer from a lethargy/confidence issue. That will take time. It isn't about "just one more player".

It's not just about talent. It's about experience.

Because of the lack of it, a team like this will blow hot and cold. When it clicks, it can be fantastic, but it can also easily churn up embarrassing results like this.

Then there's the mentality. If the team goes on a losing run, we could be in for a repeat of last season., because there aren't enough leaders on the pitch to take control of the game.

Ironically in today's game, one of the few leaders we have in Silva was also embarrassed for the goal we conceded. 

Hopefully Poch can arrest this slide after the international break., with a couple of more players potentially returning from injury.

Lifted this off another forum, but can't help but feel it's applicable here.Their cavalier approach to tearing down and rebuilding the squad (and the club for that matter), is what has led us here. Maybe given more time, it will pay off, but who knows what that means for success on the pitch.

My suspicion is that they are trying to run Chelsea the same way they ran the Dodgers. In the first couple of years under Boehly, the Dodgers invested wildly and unsustainably into their team, were hit with financial penalties, paid them, and won the World Series. Move fast and break things.
In baseball, a much more individualistic sport than football, high levels of squad churn doesn't really matter if you're fielding better pitchers and better hitters than you had last year. Team chemistry and tactics are much less important than the raw ability of the players. In football, not so much.
