King Kante 1,643 Posted July 23, 2024 Share Posted July 23, 2024 4 hours ago, Pizy said: This forum is so damn negative about our squad. I don’t get it. We were horrible for much of last season, had no discernible style of play, and had the worst injury situation in the league and we STILL came within touching distance of top 4. If we made 0 new signings and simply started this new season with those injured players back fit I think we take a big step forward. I especially think so many of our fans just instantly dismissing Tosin and KDH as “average dross” and terms like that before we even kick a ball is mad. I totally get and share the frustration with the signing of totally unproven guys like Guiu and Veiga but Tosin & KDH are senior pros who I think slot in and improve our first XI from day 1. Really feels like we’re just a top keeper and another goal scorer of some sort away from being a truly elite team ready to compete with anyone. I don’t get the doom and gloom at all. Player for player I think our squad is COMFORTABLY superior to the teams we’ll be competing with for the 3rd/4th spot. A lot of people who have seen Tosin don't rate him that highly. It is the people that have watched YouTube clips that seem to do so. From my perspective, Trevor and Silva where better than Dasasi and Badi (Badi may improve), and a lot more reliable than Fofana who is now an unknown. Tosin I believe is also a level below Trev based on what my Fulham mate has told me (he watches every Fulham game.) Hence, people getting upset about the back line have some real justification. That is also before we get to GK where our No.1 looks like it will be Sanchez - a player who was dropped by Brighton and us last season for not being good enough. bigbluewillie and Strike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They threaten us with signing Flip, so we feel good about them signing Mads Hermansen! The Daily Mail says Maresca wants to bring Hermansen south to London for the new season. However, the Foxes are insisting he won't leave for less than £45m. fuck no too damn short (1.86m or 1.87m depending on the source) weak in the air (unlike Diogo who is around that size as well) Diogo has a high verticle leap as does the best teen GKer on the planet atm Giorgi Mamardashvili btw, is now the top valued GKer on T-Markt bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like there’s a reason a host of big clubs like ourselves, United, Newcastle, and Liverpool were interested in bringing in Tosin on a free. I’m not saying he’s going to be a superstar or anything but I think based on what I’ve watched he’s an upgrade on Chalobah. Your mate seeing every Fulham match and saying Trev is superior is fine. But I’ve watched every Chelsea match and have seen Trev look consistently solid but nothing special. Trev doesn’t really do any of the things you’re expecting a modern top level CB to do and especially not under a coach who will ask a lot from his defenders. He’s not dominant in the air defensively and watching him on the ball felt like it was just him passing it sideways to Thiago Silva 50 times per match so he could handle all the forward passing. I think the only piece we’re missing for our defense is the settled, #1 keeper. I’m perfectly happy for THIS WINDOW with our CB options. Not saying Disasi, Fofana, and Badiashile are long term options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
