Chelsea Transfers

[whats happening 1,615]

we are battling top4 either way.

Our disastrous transfer policy since 2017 will cost us dearly. We are still paying the price. It turned us in the cup team who is constantly fighting for the fourth place in the league.  Too many average players  on the big salaries. The problem will be if our board don't recognize this and expect title  from Tuchel. They really shouldn't. Even secured fourth place till late March.

I came across to some random online shit regarding Lukaku.

I said it before. In our last 4 games of the season, bar CL Final, we lost 3 times and won once. I get we had an eye on the final, but even when we played the other final? What makes anyone to think we will get good results with the first 10 games, have you seen our fixtures list, when we won only 25% of our last four games?

With the same players? We are in the very bad position here. If Klopp get his striker right we are officially battling Spurs and Liecester for the top four and we may as well lose Tuchel till December. I'm not convinced Haland is the only answer here. We also need more players in the attack since none of them have capacity to make something on their own.

Under Tuchel last season we beat City three times, including away, Spurs away, Liverpool away, West Ham away (who were on a big run at the time).

We also went unbeaten against United, Atletico and Real Madrid, and beat Leicester in a big pressure game for the 4th spot.

The games against the fellow big teams aren't the worry. We're extremely difficult to score against in the current system if it's maintained and we have pace in attack if space is given.

The problems have been against the lesser teams who don't give much space. That's where we either need a new striker to put these teams to the sword, or hope that our attackers continue to improve and develop. There's a lot of potential there but ultimately that potential will need to be realised for the team as a whole to kick on.

And our last three defeats were against Arsenal, Villa and Leicester. Our next big game is against Villareal. "Small", low block team. How confident we are we will finally get that Super cup? Last year we spent 200 millions on attacking players and neither one of them, yet, have capacity to make something against low block teams who defend. For that kind of money we should have got at least one outstanding attacking player. Time will tell if we have . So far, it doesn't look like that. 

Average to very bad transfer windows from 2017 to 2021. WE do not have sellable players among redundant and it is how it is. It will reflect on this league season. If only we could get that Super cup and Club world cup. That would mean a lot.

This will a top signing for United if it goes through ... this will elevate their levels. Will dread this one.

Ole is still at the wheel though.

Personally I think there's a lot more to come from our attacking players, in particular those we brought last season.

Werner and Havertz have already put up very impressive numbers in Germany, and the hope is this can be reflected given time. If anybody wants to question the quality of the Bundesliga then what is the point of going after Haaland.

Ziyech too I think there is more to come from him. People will question his stats have come in the Dutch league but he's also done pretty well in Europe before joining. I actually think he could be someone who has the potential to unlock these type of teams with his passing and offers a different skillset to others. When he did have a purple patch earlier in the season it was against teams of this ilk (Burnley, Sheffield United, etc) where his passing was cutting them apart. His arrival against Villa on the last day I also think made us look a lot stronger and it was his pass that opened up the opportunity for our goal.

Ultimately I think we have a number of different options in our attack and all have the potential to be very good. It's putting it together. Another year older, a season playing together, fans back in stadiums, the confidence of winning a massive trophy, performing under our expected goals stats. I do think we should realistically expect improvement in our attack next season even if we don't add to it.

Another reason why selling Ziyech would be lunacy. He should be 1st name on the teamsheet against these low blocks. Pulisic too.

Problem is, can we motivate to perform his best in these type of games if he knows he likely won't be rewarded by playing the big ones?

I agree with the idea in theory but in reality Tuchel is dealing with a human aswell a player.

He is a luxury player it is all about managing his qualities. City, Liverpool, and Atletico last season being prime examples.

If the league was won in the market we would have pissed the league last season.
