Kounde is probably most likely but I have to admit, still unconvinced by him, more so this season than last but did think he was a bit overrated. I don't now why we are still targeting a right-footed CBs to replace Rudiger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, suppose the only thing is there is a shortage of top quality left footed CBs around. Or that are available anyway. Im pretty confident saying I think Tuchel and the back 3 are here to remain for the remainder of this season and next so if we can get a top level left footed CB that would be great.

Angeliño is far shorter, not as good defensively, was a flop in the EPL (and on a superb team), plus has regressed this year (no goals, only 1 league assist, in a weak league) The only big advantage is he is only 25yo (turns 25 in 3 weeks) versus Digne being 28yo now, and 29yo (July 20th, 2022) next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a squad option aye he’d be good but I dont think hes really kicked on at Everton bar his first 2 seasons really. Would he be cheap?

Defensive stats have been somewhat fine. Still he never looked convincing to me but is at least as good on dead balls as Alonso so we would not lose anything in comparison. He surely is more comfortable on the ball under pressure than Alonso but also not my favourite kind of fullback. As a back up Digne would be quite decent tho.

Thor 2,704 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 We need a Kante lite. A roamer and disrupter of play. That is ultimately what we are missing at the moment. Another LB would be nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for now, I will be happy as soon as we get Kovacic and Kante back fit already. LWB is a huge worry tho. The club must see now that Alonso is a lost cause. We need someone who can make an impact now. If we fail to make a worthwhle acaquisition here, i will massively downgrade my season expectations. With Chilwell I said top 4 would be a breeze but with Alonso we will be struggling big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,321 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 What is Tuchels preferred formation anyway? Not sure he has any. He looks like a flexible manager who plays to players strength. Because he changed it in every club. So this is why I dont know what to expect for the future. For example with Frank we knew he likes traditional DM and eventually would bring one (Rice) and drop Jorginho. Conte and Sarri were also open books about their style. People are often speaking about Rice, guy from Monaco, even saw Casemiro links the other day but not sure TT is feeling the same way. In Mainz he had Polanski, after that Weigl and in PSG he introduced Marquinhos as DM. SO no one here is very physical player. He wanted Jorginho for PSG. Him changing it to 3atb here is I think more down to our CBs than anything else. And many Chelsea fans seem to forgot that defense can still be great with 4 atb system. Even with Sarri was very solid apart from 2 games. Will Tuchel switch to 4atb here at some point? If yes, what is preventing him now? What does he need? New CBs? How would Kounde and Gallagher fit in our team as I expect them to be here next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,439 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 So...how many center backs are we going to be in the market for next season? And how many good ones can we actually afford? Even if we manage to convince Silva to stay, I doubt he's going to keep up the pace next year. Azpi already looks shot and on his way out.
