Romano has had the nod and the deal for him to join us is done, just the Colwell deal to finish up. It's like a war of words and Fab is going what he always done and confirming with here we go based on the agent confirming everything. Cucurella is a Chelsea player.

Superblue 6,372 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 12 minutes ago, Vesper said: I said potential Yes but you're already assessing the transfer as if this will happen because you're mentioning it being a £70m+ transfer which is why you don't like it. If Colwill develops into a top centre back then buying him for less than £50m in a couple of years time will likely prove good value anyway. There's no guarantee that if he stayed here and only played 15-20 games that he'd progress in the way we want him too. If he goes somewhere like Brighton and thrives it's all worked out well. For now if he's helped facilitate us buying a very good player, and in doing so essentially driven down the net price with his own transfer value then that's a pretty good deal all around for us I think. Not directed at you in any way, but I'm pretty sure there were a lot of people who were rating Cucurella really highly on this forum at the end of last season and that we should go for him. Then when City looked like capturing him, again it was being talked about like a very strong signing for them. Suddenly we're in for him and looking likely to secure him and the feeling suddenly seems a lot more mixed. I think he could be a lot more important than people realise or think next season if Chilwell struggles to regain his form and fitness pre injury.

Can still do a good job for a season or two until we have a younger guy trustworthy enough to fill in the striker roll for us. He did score loads of goals for us.

No matter how often I may be told, "You cannot understand the meaning of life so do not think about it, but live," I can no longer do it: I have already done it too long. I cannot now help seeing day and night going round and bringing me to death. That is all I see, for that alone is true. All else is false.

shrenshah 186 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Dont think lb cover with a 50mn player should be priority for us Eapecially if it means if we loose colwill. Someone like a maehle would have worked. Cucu at lcb wont be ideal given his height...really not getting the boards thinking here...this is going to be a transition year, might as well give colwill the minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicway 1,333 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) I don't believe Chelsea's scoring problem are the forwards are such. Ok Lukaku proved wanting and Werner is one of the inglorious league of chance wasters. But Kai-Pulisic and Ziyech ? Why ? The real problem is we don't have players to open up defenses and free spaces. Hazard was definitely one and Cesc with his accurate passing. Really I don't see how if we had signed Haaland he could pull things out of the fire without a Hazard to do the preliminary work for him.
