Nothing would sort us out this season short of Enzo, a new striker instantly hitting the ground running, AND (most importantly) key players like Wes Fofana, Kante, James, and Chilly all being 100% at the same time. In other words, basically impossible. But getting Enzo in now would've sure set us up nicely for next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me he has made 1 massively terrible decision (possibly 2 with the Enzo disaster) and that was the sacking of Tuchel rather than sticking with him through the bump in the road. About 95% of clubs in the world would swap owners with us if they could due to the willingness to spend a gargantuan amount in transfers. I’ll give him a couple of years to see how this planning works out before passing judgment. Not his fault that all these supposedly top class players he spend a fortune on have all been poor simultaneously. These were mostly all players we were happy with entering the season, remember. Putting aside children, furious with TB not buying their favorite FIFA players and the new wave of good weather fans, I think people are upset with the fact that TB was bought by fans by promising thoughtful vision, something we lacked very had late-Roman, meanwhile the transfer business is just as all over the place mess as it was, just more expensive and no sign of some coherent vision, add Potter with also apparently no particular vision and here we are. TB promised to deliver the smartness and effectiveness we all craved, so far all but it. 10 minutes ago, YorkshireBlue said: Simon Jordan , ex crystal palace owner. Said on talk sport this morning, he's not surprised TT was sacked with the things going on behind closed doors, but he will leave it to TB to report it to the media, not his place. This is even worse kind of people than Twitter attention seekers; Either say what you know or say nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Felix? wtf we have that exact same player type over and over.

I may be somewhat toxic Chelsea fan myself, but I don't really know what should I make out of his statement. Doubt there was some dressing room abuse, as most players seemed genuinely surprised and upset with his sacking. Frictions with Boehly wouldn't be surprising from TT and TB actually explained his sacking with some form of it. I doubt TT was stealing staples and toilet paper from the club, but if there was some moral/discipline stuff going on, he already said too much, because "I know something and I'm saying this, but ask Boehly if he wants to speak about it" is bit of internally contradictive statement. Otherwise seems like talking for sake of talking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I think the problem has been bottling the false 9 system for "proper Centre forwards", first Lukaku now Auba. We were building some serious momentum in TTs first half season with Havertz at centre forward and we threw it away. Compare that to Klopp who straight away identified Firmino as his false 9/CF and had the courage of his convictions to stick with it even when he was being laughed at.

Kai was alright for a time bc he played like a proper striker. Firmino dropped into midfield at times like Kane does but is by trade also a striker. More recently Liverpool have gone back to a classic no.9 in Darwin. the problem with Lukaku was that he wanted to play more facing goal and not like a classic target man. And Auba is just shit. Only prime Barcelona and spain were able to successfully and consistently employ a false no.9. But these times are long over. The most successful teams use proper strikers, Bayern had Lewa, now they look much worse without him, Barca are improved, City failed to win CL without a proper striker for years now they are gonna win it with Haaland, Real have their most important player in Benzema. False 9 is dead. But Felix is not good enough anyway. This is once more a desperate shotgun aim of a transfer, another failure in the making by an incompetent board advised by a manager out of his depth.

Since Enzo is off the table do NOT go and settle for our 3rd or 4th choice alternative. That’s how we’re in this mess right now as it is. Settling instead of waiting for the right player. So what wait to the summer and miss out on him all together? And not sign a MFer? I love how optimistic people are to still think we have a chance of getting him at all now. We made an arse of it - Benfica will not negotiate with us unless we pay €120mn and I would imagine that come the summer they will willingly be awkward with us, even more so considering the fact that the player will have multiple choices. I would like to think the club has some sort of contingency plan - although to be fair, I wouldn’t be surprised if we didn’t.

Not worried in the least about either at this moment. Sterling may not turn out to be the world class wide player we were all hoping he would be but I think he’ll at least be very good. Koulibaly was coming off of a Team of the Season level year at Napoli from what we were told. The contract length we gave him was a mistake but signing a veteran CB to combine with young ones like Fofana and Chalobah seemed like a no brainer at the time. Nobody could have foreseen him being THIS big of a letdown. Auba is the only truly unforgivable and stupid move. Totally desperate signing that raised every red flag. mkh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesman2610 1,418 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Are people really trying to pretend that Joao Felix technical ability and creativity are not far superior than anyone we have who plays in our midfield or attack? Before he went to Atletico I remember people in here ready to give their left nut to have him in our team. dimmas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegetable 830 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 "Before he went to Atletico" may be a key here. Like with boatloads of those loud players, who proved mediocre at best after getting their big move. After all it comes down to the fact we already have players of similar profiles, it's not most burning hole to plug + he is just expensive to have for 6 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
