Sky on youtube is constantly posting stuff about our spending, almost every other day. Just recently they posted a list of the top 5 spenders this season., and made sure to highlight Chelsea at number 1. No mention about the number of players we have out injured. But transfer fees? Oh yes. That's because, we are one of the most hated clubs in England. The press love anything negative they can post about us.

I'm not really certain actually Even with tuchel he ONLY play very well when he stick with 3 cb. How many times rudiger play in 4 at the back, and rudidger just become atrocious defender, almost as shaky as koulibally Without so much protection, and beside very composed defender ala thiago silva in 3 atb system, he isn't that reliable actually. mkh and Reddish-Blue 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I was really annoyed about is that we didn't get a fee (and messes up his replacement which should have been an immediate Colwill promotion). He's not quite current Kouli level yet but when he loses his pace and athletic qualities he'll probably be worse. dimmas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's assume Felix goes back in the summer but Nkunku joins. I think looking at the makeup of our squad it's either a striker or a goalkeeper. I don't think we'll be able to go after a striker until the Lukaku situation is resolved.... I wouldn't mind getting the Brentford keeper (if Mendy or Kepa decide to move on at the end of the season). Superblue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 31,113 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) 🚨The Daily Briefing - Arsenal's Declan Rice talks confirmed, major Chelsea decision imminent, Newcastle eye three big names, and more Today's transfer news headlines, featuring Declan Rice, Conor Gallagher, Youssoufa Moukoko, and more! FABRIZIO ROMANO JAN 17 ∙ https://caughtoffside.substack.com/p/the-daily-briefing-arsenals-declan Chelsea Shakhtar president Akhmetov: “We’re proud of Mudryk - we will play a friendly against Chelsea at Donbass Arena in a Ukrainian Donetsk. I am allocating $25 million today to help our soldiers, defenders, and their families.” RB Leipzig director Max Eberl on Christopher Nkunku’s future: “The signs are very, very clear that he's moving to Chelsea.” I can again confirm again that the Nkunku deal is 100% signed. He’s a Chelsea player as revealed in December, no doubts. He will move to Stamford Bridge in July. There’s fresh speculation about Conor Gallagher at the moment. My understanding is that the interest is genuine and strong by both Newcastle and Crystal Palace since July, but it’s up to Chelsea. They will make a decision on many players in the next days, including Gallagher. Potter remains big fan of his potential but it has to be club decision together with the coach.

Vegetable 830 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Made like 30 posts about Rudi being good only under TT when he was leaving, glad someone noticed it finally. If he stayed, people would be raging and crying he is common type Rudi under GP, just like they are raging with KK. Anyway, that would be very strange if Rice had gone to Arsenal. Would they really want to toss 100+ million for him, given there is obvious premium on him from WHU and Arsenal seem rather reasonable with cash? dimmas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good player but he's not the player you build your team around, that's someone like Enzo. Arsenal would suit him as they are looking to top-up their settled midfield....unlike us where we are in midfield rebuild mode. 16 minutes ago, ulsterchelsea said: Take him in a heartbeat.

What he did mange to do, whether fake or real, was leadership, focus and passion. He allied these traits with at the very least competence. In a season during which Challo has sometimes been exposed, and we have even had to play Cucu at CB, I would definitely take Rudi on loan to bolster our squad.
