[milka 3,344]

CONFIRMED! Reece James has torn his hamstring and will be out of action for a significant period of time!

Nice news . After LWB now we  need and RWB in January .This season will turn from a solid one into a nightmare .

From the link:

Chelsea spent £220.3million on signings in the financial year, headlined by the arrival of Kai Havertz in addition to Ben Chilwell and Edouard Mendy. The financial year concluded the day before the 2021 summer transfer window opened so the £100million cost of signing Romelu Lukaku from Internazionale is not factored in.

You are conflating fiscal years with what I said about windows.

When are we going to buy a striker with a brain?? 

Please for fuck sake just sign a player with a brain and who can stroke the ball like Cruyff. 

It's not much to ask When you have over 10 billion in the bank.

1: Who

2: And who can stroke the ball like Cruyff, yeah ok, if you find one let us know😀

3: The owner has 10 billion in the bank not the club

[Warning_Hazard 156]

get the scouts a new brief for the new year, Get lukaku out the club asap and bring in an actual world class striker and 2 defenders.

Quicker the better

Dušan Vlahović

Milan Skriniar (work a swap for Lukaku + Jorginho (or even a third player) + cash for Skriniar + Barella is the play I would go for)

Kounde (as it looks grim atm we hold onto AC)

re-sign Thiago for one last season and in summer 2023 move for another CB, OR perhaps Levi Colwill can step up (he will be 20 in a little over a year, so will be 20 and 21 in 2023/24)

We will struggle even against bottom half sides without our two wingbacks. I seriously don’t know how we salvage this season unless we buy this month.

And talk of recalling loanees doesn’t fill me with confidence either. These players already weren’t good enough (Kennedy, Baba, Emerson). And the youth players like Sterling aren’t ready for a team fighting for and in the CL.

Extremely difficult position for the club because there’s zero chance they ever planned on doing anything significant in January after how amazing we looked until the last month. We looked like an absolute machine that didn’t need anything. Now we are decimated and in danger of free fall.

But clubs who panic buy in January can really screw themselves by overpaying for average players. Very anxious to see what we do.

Mbappe is 99% going to Real (arffff)

Pogba is pure poison, Dembele too (atm, plus he is another Pulisic, always injured)

the other ones that interest me would be

Niklas Süle (IF we cannot get Kounde and AC leaves) perhaps

Paulo Dybala (if he would come here, he is shedload better than Pulisic and CHO)

Boubacar Kamara (very underrated young, versatile player, can play DMF, CMF, and CB)

something always rubbed me wrong about Kessie, maybe I am being harsh

the time to buy Brozovic was 4, 5 years ago, he turns 30yo near the beginning of next season and will have little resale value if a bust

the rest are a pass for me

[chelsea_4_eva 1,157]

The only positive of losing most of our CBs are we can get ones that can play in a back 4 and 3.. although its not ideal and would be very expensive.

Just throwing this suggestion out there - Kieran Trippier, anyone? 

Guardian's Jacob Steinberg must have read my post. 🤪

[Pizy 18,368]

Trippier is 31. The exact opposite profile of player we’d target. Even on an emergency basis like this I can’t see it. 
 

Could imagine a 6 month loan but from his perspective it wouldn’t make sense as Newcastle will likely offer him a silly 3-4 year contract with huge wages because they’re desperate for “names.”

You know what I mean lol

[DDA 9,690]

It was tounge in cheek when asking for somebody who can stroke the ball like Cruyff. 

Obviously simple sarcasm is lost on the average I.Q held amongst the simpletons of this beautiful forum. 😑

[bigbluewillie 1,859]

Explain for a simpleton about the other two remarks

It needs explaining? 🤔

Honestly, I can't even be assed to understand where you're going with this... 

All I can think about is the 97million betrayal in the form of Romelu Lukaku.
