Chelsea Transfers

Palmer has been atrocious for pretty much the entire season so he should really be “frustrated and disillusioned” with himself just as much as he is with the club. If he was playing at his best level from a year or two ago we’d comfortably be finishing 2nd or 3rd and looking forward to an enjoyable summer.

Still, under literally no circumstance would I sell him this summer and ESPECIALLY not to another PL club.

As bad as Palmers form has been… let’s not make excuses for this diabolical ownership. Plamer has been playing with a groin injury and it’s clearly effecting his confidence not being able to perform the way he could before. He has every right to be disappointed with how the club is being ran. It’s a joke and not what these players were promised.

No doubt. But despite all the chaos and the shit show that is our ownership and their woeful transfer/managerial policies, had Palmer been better we’d be talking about this season as another “building block” campaign where we could then attack the summer window to challenge next year. 

We’ve had great overall seasons from several of our top players. If Palmer had been one of them we’d be way up the table and sitting pretty. I had a lot of sympathy for him early in the season about carrying the injury. But my sympathy completely ran out months ago. He is being selfish by not getting surgery months ago because he’s desperate to go to the WC.

Are you keeping an eye on current affairs?

They have spent all the money. BlueCo took out two huge loans to fund the insane spending that occurred over the last 4 years. Loans with double digit interest! 
 

We are now a sell to buy club. If we can’t sell all of the deadwood which is already becoming a problem with it being seemingly harder and harder to shift the likes of Disasi & co. It will leave us with no other option than to sell the bigger named stars to fund any further purchases which we all know won’t be spent on the players needed but rather a shit load of 16 year olds again. 
 

There is no ‘attacking the summer window’. 
 

Just look at how they ‘attacked’ the summer just gone.. the perfect opportunity to build on the CWC success. 
 

This ownership doesn’t care about building something substantial geared towards obtaining the biggest prizes. It was all a fugasi, a lie, bullshit to keep the fans on tender hooks until they make enough profit out of an inflated club sale. 
 

The players like Enzo, Cucu, Caicedo & Palmer were all sold a dream that ultimately the owners are not delivering on and to top it off, are literally saying they don’t care about it and doing it publicly for all to see

Agreed men, what a travesty this whole thing. 

And we got fooled, but then again we had little choice because under the condition things happend. It was a force sell and the one doing the selling just went for the highest bidder.

Did I say that they were ungrateful?   I've mentioned in a number of posts that it was inevitable that these guys would eventually leave for La Liga. 

Hopefully we can convince Estevao to stick around for 2+ seasons as I'd love to see him evolve like Hazard did. 

We'll be lucky to finish as the 6th best PL club this season and with the fixtures coming up, there's every chance we slide to 7th/8th.  

You can't expect Enzo, Cucu to be here for 6-7 years and not challenge for silverware, they also have ambitions.

We haven't been a serious club since the UK forced Roman to sell. 

Imagine Estevao slowly blooded into a serious XI. The circus right now could even stall his development

lol, I knew this was coming after the clean sheet that Japan kept against England:

Chelsea may have just found the answer to their goalkeeping woes during international break

https://www.thechelseachronicle.com/columnist/Chelsea-may-have-just-found-the-answer-to-their-goalkeeping-woes-during-international-break/

One position Chelsea fans are desperate to see their side upgrade is goalkeeper, and they should certainly of taken note of Zion Suzuki’s performance for Japan against England.

Robert Sanchez enjoyed a strong start to the season, but has started to falter of late, with his place in the starting side no longer a given under Liam Rosenior.

The new boss has been keen to give Filip Jorgensen a chance, although he let his side down during the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 against PSG.

Zion Suzuki is the answer to Chelsea’s goalkeeping woes

Suzuki is a regular for Parma outside of a broken hand he suffered earlier this season, and was on top form for Japan in their first ever win against England.

While Cole Palmer struggled for the Three Lions, Suzuki kept a clean sheet and made three saves to deny a star-studded side for Thomas Tuchel.

He also knew when to get rid of the ball and play long, with there never any hairy moments when the ball was at his feet.

Playing out from the back is important to Rosenior’s style of play, and an area where Sanchez simply doesn’t live up to standards.

The Blues can address this with the signing of Suzuki, who has appeared on the radar of a number of top clubs in the past.

Chelsea hold prior interest in Suzuki

Despite Chelsea not actually making any recent signings to address the goalkeeper situation, they have certainly been linked with plenty of names who could have been Sanchez replacements.

One of these is the Japan international. Chelsea have sent scouts to watch Suzuki in Italy on previous occasions.

At 23 years of age, the Blues would not be breaking their policy of signing younger players rather than those with more experience.

However, there are reports that Chelsea owners are willing to tweak their transfer strategy following comments from current player Marc Cucurella questioning their methods.
