Despite so much expensive Deadwood, we could literally have players worth 250m-300m in our squad. It's the fact that our manager's diagnosis of the squad's problem is totally ridiculous.

Hamilton 2,120 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 It looks like TT is guessing that when kova and Kante are fit these problems are solved, but how many games they were fit last years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We missed out on several players like Tchouameni, Raphinha, Kamara, and Jesus because of this. Tchou was lost when we did not buy him last year, fucking Marina, another parting gift Raphinha always wanted Barca we didn't rate Boubacar Kamara and we could have easily beat Arse for Jesus, but stupidly looked elsewhere bigbluewillie and Laylabelle 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Jorginho is well aware we want to replace. If we can't get FDJ, then in the summer we shall see about Rice. Kante is always going to be hard to replace. No one out there will do what he does. Kinda like Lampard, once Lampard left no one has taken that spot. KK to me is really good, after losing leadership of Rudgier to me KK does replace him in terms of leadership. As we have too many young players. I think your negative me thinks. We are doing a hell of a work of improving the squad. And it will take next summer before we can start getting a more balanced team. So far I like the moves we done and if we get Fofana we are going in the right direction. I wish I was negative. But I am just honest. We are not improving the squad properly. I can't even tell it is our fault. We didn't get our prime targets. De light. Kounde. Raphinha. Jesus. Those would improve us. But wasn't meant to be. Sterling, as I said before has Lukaku vibes. Much more talented but has best years behind him not ahead of him. Mediocre signing. KK - I watched KK in Champions League since I like Napoli. He was nothing extraordinary. Much like Sterling, has best days behind him and I am not so convinced he will be able to cope with PL and CL at the same time. Like I said before we will see defense of Chilwell Cucu Silva James (Azpi) Rlc (James) quite often. Cucu only positive signing in my book but even like that replaces hell of the player we had there last season. He hardly brings something new. But he will be handy as LCB. I said we may miss out from top four and I am not being negative. In my last posts I explained why but to summarize: Our defense has weakened. Big time. KK, Silva, Azpi in their thirties. Could get away with that if we were Napoli from Seria A, or had killers up front like Lfc from PL. Our midfield didn't improve but with Kante and Kova injury status it regressed. Much as our defense. Attack - it marginally improved with Sterling. We do not have better squad than we had in our CL year. And others do. Boycie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,181 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) Chelsea to rival Premier League clubs for 26-year-old striker https://astamfordbridgetoofar.com/2022/08/Chelsea-in-the-race-to-sign-brentford-striker-ivan-toney-latest-transfer-news/ Chelsea are in the race with Everton and Manchester United to sign Brentford striker Ivan Toney According to the Mirror, Chelsea are set to rival Premier League clubs Everton and Manchester United to sign Brentford striker Ivan Toney in the summer transfer window. Toney has been a United target during the course of this summer, but now they are joined by two more top-flight clubs. Chelsea, who are also trying to seal the move to sign Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, are still in the market to sign a centre-forward irrespective of whether that deal gets completed or not. As a matter of fact, Brentford are bracing themselves for bids expected to come in for Toney, who has been a talisman for them over the last two seasons.

From what I saw in reports, we did enquire about him but he felt his situation here would be similar to that of City where he'd be part of the squad whereas at Arsenal he'd be undisputed first choice striker. It's disappointing as I think him alongside Sterling would have significantly changed the outlook of our attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
