He would probably be slightly better than Caicedo though. Didn’t constantly make mistakes on the ball and give it away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing well with Sporting, Benfica or Porto is a difficult barometer to judge a manager on. Good teams in their own rights but just don’t think he is the man for us. I mean I don’t think Poch is an outstanding manager by any stretch but the owners and footballing guys reportedly heavily favoured Poch over Amorim which says enough to me. On 01/03/2024 at 08:44, Reddish-Blue said: He won't be short on offers, just like Alonso and De Zerbi. Will be interesting to see where Amorim & De Zerbi end up in the manager merry go round. Maybe but I think de Zebri who has experience managing in Italys top division and the PL will be much more appealing to a lot of teams than Amorim too. Same again with Xabi Alonso - which yeah sure not exactly making any outrageous or unobvious statements saying that - but because he has a notable body of work in a top 5 division in Europe (in the Bundesliga where Bayern have dominated domestically for 10+ years now) as opposed to in a much poorer domestic league where Porto, Benfica & Sporting are traditionally the best teams most seasons (maybe Braga too). Amorim just strikes me as far too big a risk when you look at some of the guys out there and which leagues they are doing good jobs in. For us, for Liverpool, for Bayern, for United for whoever. I think the days of these Portuguese league coaches maybe being of a Mourinho-esque standard as opposed to a Villas-Boas-esque standard are long gone. Maybe a bit disrespectful towards the standards of the Portuguese league but I don’t think its particularly impressive to win there as a manager these days. Look how many average managers Benfica had when they were winning everything domestically and Porto beforehand too, I mean how many of them did well abroad?

There are quite a lot of rumours it is substantial. How Blues can splash out another £350 million in upcoming window despite FFP fears - explained Chelsea's spending shows no sign of stopping as Todd Boehly's Blues have been told how they can splash even more cash without breaching FFP rules. https://www.goal.com/en/lists/how-chlesea-can-splash-out-another350-million-in-upcoming-window-despite-ffp-fears-explained/blt2c04e9b4ca1310b6 WHAT HAPPENED? Reliable journalist Ben Jacobs has explained that despite all the rumours and reports about Chelsea potentially being in trouble regarding Financial Fair Play and the Premier League's Profitability and Sustainability rules, the Blues will not face any trouble and can even go on to spend in excess of £200 million ($252.4m) without having to make sales. THE EXPLANATION Jacobs explained that Boehly's club could spend over £300 million if they decide to make sales of players such as Ian Maatsen, Lewis Hall, Armando Broja, Conor Gallagher and Trevoh Chalobah. All these players have been linked with a move away as they hold a decent market value. WHAT JACOBS SAID Speaking to Simon Philips for his newsletter, Si Phillips Talks Chelsea, Jacobs said: "Chelsea could comfortably spend £200m this summer even before sales, if they chose to spend £300-350m, it could be offset with sales such as Maatsen (£35m), Hall (£28m clause expected to kick in), Broja (plan to sell £35m), Gallagher and Chalobah."

There are quite a lot of rumours it is substantial. If we do, it is meant to be £100m or around before end of June/start of July. I don’t see how we can spend £300-350m let alone £200m, quoted in that article a few posts up. We have spent £1bn in the space of 3 transfer windows and only sold maybe £300m worth of players. People seem to think Broja, Chalobah and Maatsen are going to fetch top top dollar too. Or even be easy sells. Throw in the Gallagher rumours too. Maatsens release clause maybe will get triggered but again, £35m, lets see. Regarding the other two, we went from wanting £50-60m for Broja to accepting a £4 or £5m loan fee which will go to virtually nothing if he plays a lot. Whys that? Chalobah also made it clear he doesn’t want to take a big step down from Chelsea after Bayern interest which is why he didn’t go to Forrest. Selling Gallagher would also be insane even for £50m. People can bury their heads in the sand if they want but there are more than enough things that point more towards us needing to sell than not needing to sell.
