Pizy 19,280 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Good. No more Koundé tweets now. I can stop seeing Fabrizio tweet the exact same thing everyday. Now perhaps our club can do something to make up for the embarrassment of this saga? 😒 Laylabelle, bigbluewillie and DDA 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His release clause is €40million, with the Blues offering €30m + bonuses. (@jorgenicola) Could be. I remember in 78 world cup they were all talking about Maradona. He was not in the Argentinian squad as he was only 17 but the Argentinians were saying Maradona will be the world's best player in the years to come. Maybe it's a similar situation. We should go after him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoroccanBlue 5,399 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Pavard and Maehle sorts sorts out our defense in my opinion. Pavard at RCB or RB for emergencies. Maehle for both wingback options and attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,280 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Pavard could be an interesting one to watch I suppose. He himself said in an interview that he primarily sees himself as a CB rather than a fullback. So I don’t think he’d have trouble slotting into a back 3. Good age, huge experience in a big team, probably wouldn’t cost a massive fee. But has there been any indication that Bayern would sell? No idea.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 apparently Sevilla are gonna replace or rather upgrade Kounde with Thilo Kehrer. Surely worth a punt but TT will have his reasons for not reconnecting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,280 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Where the hell are Law and Ornstein, btw? The complete silence from either of them since both reported that we were close to Koundé is disconcerting. If anything transfer related was happening at Chelsea those two are clued in. That neither have said anything recently must mean that fuck all is currently close. Laylabelle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't finishing top four. No chance. I had said that the last year and nothing has happened to make me change my mind. Ask yourself: Would have Klopp finished top four with this lot? Not in a million years. Same goes for Pep. They both wouldn't come near this team. This team is middle of the table quality at best. Yes Tuchel won CL with this lot, but CL is cup competition where solid defense and couple moments of mastery and luck win you games even final. We showed our real class in the League. With Lukaku, Sterling and KK signing , and loss of Rudiger and Andreas as well of the last year youngsters, we are worse team now than we were two years before and the last year. This time, our competition improved. We are worse than we were two years before and this time table will show it. I made peace with this last year. I can't see other outcome. I still can't make myself to judge Tuchel when I know that half of his team is championship and the rest midtable quality. Only three or four players are top four quality. Our defenders are 31 and 38 years old.... Edited July 28, 2022 by laura90 bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since most of informed people are gone, so is their plug, I guess. Apparently they are not friends with Boehly's people and apparently we were not so close to him after all.

Our defenders are 31 and 38 years old.... We regressed, esp relatively to our competition, but I don't think we dropped from 3rd to midtable. Most of our players are not top 4 quality that's true but you need to factor in Arteta is a choker. Spurs under Conte are a threat, but their first XI is still mediocre, Son is ageing, Kane wants out. In short, we might still somehow scrape it. One of the NL duo is gonna choke for sure,they always do. If we can avoid a mourinho 2015 collapse with morale breaking down completely, if i sum up the winnable fixtures with a few fandom fk ups after int breaks factored in, we can still get 65-70 points easily. Also big plus: only 2 PL games in november and december respectively. Also how is 31 old for a cb? Thiago is 37 and still world class, imagine we had got him aged 31. Sure i would have preferred to get in proper players and have a fresh start but the new board are literally still noobs so it is natural the club will stagnate a bit. No point crying about it now. We will see what the season brings. I will reserve my ultimate prediction till after mw 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got given one of the world's best CBs, one of the world's best inside forwards tailor made for his system and also has the return of one of the leagues best young midfielders who would have cost upwards of £60m had Palace owned him. We were a lot better than Arsenal and Spurs last season (the points tally was close because we had 5 tournaments to juggle, a major injury crisis aswell as unprecedented ownership issues while they both had only the league to focus on by the time we got into spring), and our signings are better than their's. Given the situation of the ownership change I'll give him a pass if we're (as is likely) a way from the title again, but zero excuse if he lets United or Arsenal creep above us (Spurs could maybe be somewhat justified with the Conte factor).
