We have Enzo, Caicedo, Lavia, Santos and Ugo. All young players. On top we get two more. Why? Casadei was best player on U20 World Cup and how that ended? Just bunch of pointless signings...

It is a spray and pray private equity mindset. Essentially, they hope to hit a Palmer every x amount of times. The cast offs they suspect to clear out for minimal loss. Tbf, if they are getting £5m for Disaster, Felix and Veiga (with wages covered) for six month loans at a time, and selling an Angelo for profit. It probably isn't a bad deal. I mean what is Santos worth now? £35-£40m+. 

I don't like this policy, as it makes us imbalanced and unlikely to compete for trophies, but the logic is there.

Chelsea have started working in the background on a striker for the summer. (@FabrizioRomano)

Liam Delap 💯

Good *young* player.... so, we sign him in the summer, and if we expect him to develop into the player we need in another 3-4 years, I think @lluubbeenn is slightly off above: I'd say he will come good at around 2029, maybe even 2028. 😆

Seriously he showed quality in ball control, pace, and power, in long ball situations. There are tons of specific demands at a big club he won't be ready for immediately once signed. The mere placements of the D line would already feel very different for him.

No matter what people's opinion on him is, loaning him out on the last day and not having a replacement is bonkers. Yes, we have been lucky so far with no injuries to the attackers, however what if Palmer picks up an injury? Also in UECL, the latter stages you expect the more of the main players to feature more and Felix was ideal for those games. Mudryk is banned for god knows how long and now loaning out Felix. I don't get the logic of this at all... Like I say towards end of season we will be possible in latter stages of FA Cup, UECL and competing for champions league places. This is very short-sighted but tbh I am not surprised when I see the board see a chance of making money.

I can’t wait for 2030, when we will finally be good, or will we? 😂

No no, my man, you misunderstand. By 2030 the best of the players we've bought now are sold for huge profits, and we bring through a new crop for Project 2035. This is the forever project.

And then someone like Levi Colwill will retire and step up to manage us under a transfer ban, effectively restarting the cycle

Just watched a comp of this new kid we’ve just signed and tbh, he doesn’t really look like anything special. 🤷‍♂️

Not like all the other supposed “wonder kids” we’ve signed. He just looks like an okay player playing for a small team. I really don’t see a player that Maresca will throw in any time soon.
