In other words, uefa is not issuing sanctions independently of EU/nation states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have enough CBs at least until we decide to get rid of two of them in the summer. Badiashile (who played a single game for us) seems to be the CB we can be most sure to be counting on long term. That doesnt sound very secure to me. Reddish-Blue and OhForAGreavsie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,952 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Trossard definitely feels like the kind of signing we’d have made in years past. A pretty good but not great player who won’t pull up trees and we’ll struggle to move on because he’ll soon be 30 and on big wages. Like I said yesterday, now that we’ve brought in Fofana, Felix, and Mudryk we’ve refreshed the attack enough for this window. Don’t buy another forward who isn’t our ideal target just for the sake of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulvhedin 526 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 What do you guys think about Kouadia Kone, is he similar to Caicedo? Do you think he better or worse than him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colwill has established himself as a starter at Brighton, literally all Brighton fans are raving on him and saying they should break the bank for him because he is absolutely world class. If we sell him we are absolutely retarded. I was being sarcastic. Mind you, I won’t be surprised if we did get rid of him. Should have been a starter for Chelsea instead of buying more dead wood.

They could easily co-exist though. I am a big Koné fangirl. I have posted on him multiple times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a good thing he's not part of the squad in this unstable season and he can come in with some PL experience next year. top-level experience next year. Just thankful they didn't sell him in the summer when the club was negotiating for Cucurella Fofana, Badiashile, Silva, Colwill and Chalobah could be a good set of options.

manpe 10,861 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 We should sign Jeffrey Schlupp. He's a bonafide champion, he knows what it takes to win the league and can play several positions to devastating effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegetable 830 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Geez, just stop buying Brigthon (and similar) players, especially non-HG, buy Brighton if you want to have Brighton manager and Brighton players. This is mode of operation good for mid table, but not for top teams. How often City or Pool do this? Buying talents like Chuka is great, but those clubs will demand (rightly so) super overinflated money for their key players and it will go down as Zaha and Wan-Bissaka saga. Like buying 60 mil Alonso replacement, so far subpar to Alonso himself taught this club nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like there are other players (Pulisic, RLC, Ziyech) that we can get rid of at the end of the season before worrying about Colwill, kid has too much talent to sell. Would hate to see another Tomori situation where we sell him for peanuts and he turns into a class defender. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,952 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Still yet to be credibly linked to a RB. We’re being linked to loads of players in positions we’re completely stacked in but not the one area we need most. Both the attack and defense will be severely handicapped so long as we are forced to repeatedly play Azpi or Trev out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Robertson came from Hull (relegated), Henderson was at Sunderland, VVD at Southampton, Mane at Southampton, Wijnaldum from a PL relegation side, Jota from Wolves....they turned out to be pretty good for Liverpool. There is value for money signings from mid table clubs, we got Cahill from Bolton all those years ago and he turned out to be solid.

Sure there is, the question remains how many of those players exist. Given the situation I think we can't afford another transfer flopping and although it's only media buzz, the shift from overpaying for doubtful wonderkids to apparently trying to scavenge middle of the table is not reassuring. I don't even care that much for new incomings to be exceptional on their own, just be clinical business and solid buys that can improve as a team and it still looks like search for immediate lifeline, just somewhere else.

Should have been a starter for Chelsea instead of buying more dead wood. Colwill was at the Bridge for Sunday's game, up in the box with Eghbali, Mudryk and Felix. From what I've read and understand, the club decided to pay the premium on Cucurella in the summer and just loan Colwill out as opposed to using him in a permanent transfer to lower the Cucurella deal. At the time I felt this was the right move, and his recent performances for Brighton would confirm this for me. I think the club will want to keep him given the youth drive they seem to have been doing. When Silva decides to leave, I think they'll view Fofana, Chalobah, Colwill and Badiashile as the centre backs moving forward in the long term at the club. I was impressed with Badiashile at the weekend, albeit it's only one game but I think Colwill could be something very special and the profile of both, I think Fofana and Colwill have the makings of a very promising centre back partnership in the future.
