Done really well with the attacking talent???

Who are you referring to exactly?

Bar Cole Palmer, who have these guys brought in that is truly Chelsea level? I’m struggling to think of one player…. 
 

When i say Chelsea level, I’m talking about the level Roman built us up to.. not this bang average mentality being installed by the new owners who have fans like yourself willing subscribing to.

Let's not pretend under Roman signings were always spot on. Especially in attack. Drogba, Costa were great and Giroud was solid buy. How many flops? Way much more. Kezman, Shevchenko, Torres, Morata, Lukaku, Havertz, Werner... Hazard was world class winger but after that who was most played there? Malouda, Kalou, Willian... Neto is more ambitious and expensive signing. Estevao highly rated teen just like Quenda. This board loaned Sancho for 5m but under Roman we almost bought him for over 100m and majority fans wanted that. 

Hopefully this summer we catch good LW because we lack there.

Speaking of Quenda he had amazing first half the other day for Portugal U21 (got replaced to rest because it was game over). 2g and 1a.

right footed or ambipedal wingers still technically available

in order of my prefernce

some are pipe dreams

 

Jamal Musiala  
Rodrygo  
Xavi Simons
Morgan Rogers
Kenan Yildiz   
Antoine Semenyo
Nico Williams  
Rafael Leão
Jamie Gittens
Malick Fofana
Jesus Rodriguez

 

no to Garnacho

Its a shame that half the names on that list are out of reach for us. 

Realistically, best case scenario we somehow convince Villa to sell Rogers......or its back the youth and go for Gittens/Fofana.

I'm still surprised that United missed out on him, thought Amorim was all over the Sporting production line of talent.

Scratch Nico Williams off that list, he's getting his dream move to Barca

Was always a massive long shot. Means there aren’t really any top LW to be had now. There’s Leão apparently but I think he’s massively overrated. 

This is unfortunately a bad summer to really need someone in this position and why we’ll have to settle for Gittens/Garnacho/Fofana.

And all around the 40/50M mark the price this board love

Instead of going big for Gittens, I wouldn’t mind a punt on Semenyo. Seems like a real workhorse

You just know we are getting a Gittens Bomba from Ornstein anytime soon

Probably not until after the tournament, right?

 cannot see the shifts in games or how you adapt to your opponent - 

I don't particularly agree with that.

There's been quite a lot of games last/this season that looked lost causes to then be suddenly swung in our favour (Spurs away, Wolves away, West Ham home, Fulham away, Betis for example) and he's also shown in recent weeks that he's prepared to go defensive/park the bus to see a game through (Liverpool, Forest) although ofcourse that remains to be seen if that was just a temporary measure to make sure we hit our targets at crunch time.

The club has done really well with attacking talent for the most part and people are in shambles about our targets, despite from a stats perspective rating very well. 

Gittens statistically is better than Nico Williams, yet people are acting as if there is a major gap between the two. 

Attacking signings other than Palmer - Felix, Neto, Sancho, Deivid, Nkunku, Jackson, Sterling, Auba, Carney, Noni, Mudryk

Yeah, I don't see enough good signings in there.
