we have bought several players lately who are examples of something I didn't believe existed till last season - a good player who couldn't play in the premiership! 

i always thought a good player could succeed anywhere. havertz ziyek & werner proved me wrong! 

there's been plenty of others if you think about it. cuadradro at Milan (I think) for eg. 

havertz is a classy player but I still can't see what he's supposed to be at Chelsea. 

let's just hope all these new signings aren't just Boely's scatter gun approach & someone with sense is pointing him in the right direction. Time will tell, 🤐

I don't think it is a scatter gun approach, most of the players that are coming in are needed (other than Mudryk...feel like that money should have been spent on a midfielder). 

Now the big question is, how many of the first team squad can we sell in the next window and start a proper rebuild?

Youssoufa Moukoko Extends his Contract with Borussia Dortmund

The rumors can finally be put to rest. Dortmund’s young superstar is here to stay.

https://www.fearthewall.com/2023/1/19/23562696/youssoufa-moukoko-extends-his-contract-with-borussia-dortmund-bundesliga-bvb-transfer-rumors

One of the Bundesliga’s brightest talents has extended his contract with Borussia Dortmund. Youssoufa Moukoko has been subject to different rumors about a departure lately, linking him with clubs such as Chelsea and Newcastle. Even though these clubs undoubtedly could offer Mouki an attractive economic package, the 18-year old supertalent has, per BILD, penned a new deal that keeps him at the Signal Iduna Park until 2026.

This will be a big relief for Terzic and the board, as Moukoko is one of the brightest talents in the world. On top of that, he has produced very promising numbers this season, collecting six goals and four assist across 14 matches. We don’t know the exact details on the deal yet, but there’s no doubt that Moukoko would be an attractive investment for every major club.

Having Moukoko for a long run will no doubt be a big boost for the club. When players like Malen and Adeyemi have failed to produce, the homegrown player has delivered when it mattered the most (read: A winning goal in the Revierderby and a crucial goal in Der Klassiker). This extension also adds a question mark to the future of players like Thorgan Hazard and Donyell Malen, who have failed to make an offensive impact for quite some time.

Something that probably won’t get mentioned a lot, is the way Sebastian Kehl seemingly has handled this season. I applaud him for drawing a line right from the start, and I think he has been both fair and transparent in his communication towards Mouki and his agent.

If BVB can continue to develop Moukoko, he could quickly turn into one of the best strikers in world football. Even though Mouki isn’t a veteran player, this extension is no doubt crucial - both for the current season and for the seasons to come. With the extension out the way, Moukoko will be able to focus fully on the ongoing Bundesliga season, Champions League campaign and DFB-pokal run. Maybe he’ll even sign off with a goal against FC Augsburg on Sunday?

Seems we trying for Gusto. 19 years old at a good price is worth a stab.

So now psg are looking to sign Theo Hernandez for only 5m more than what we paid for Cucurella 😡

Honestly he didn’t impress me in the CL or at the world cup one bit. Looked incredibly poor defensively. Just looks like a one way full back who would get torn apart in the PL. I mean if he’s going to cost £60-70m then I’d let them have him.

Theo has really regressed defensively this year, not a nice thing to see for me

there are only 4 world class left backs (unless you stretch to include a healthy and in the groove Chilly) atm

and one doesn't often even play there (Saka)

Alphonso Davies

Nuno Mendes

and Robertson

 

José Gayà is close, BUT he will never leave Valencia, he likely will be a one club man

'Now I can speak about him' - Graham Potter breaks silence on Chelsea's capture

https://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=46150

Manager Graham Potter has broken his silence on Chelsea's capture of talented England U21 international of Nigerian descent Nonso Madueke.

The English football tactician did not give much away when he was asked to comment on the imminent arrival of the Super Eagles-eligible player during his pre-match press conference yesterday.

Madueke completed his move to the Blues on Friday, signing a seven-and-a-half-year deal, with The Blues holding the option to extend his stay by a further year.

The 20-year-old's transfer was not completed in time for him to ne named in the traveling party for the Premier League meeting with Liverpool which ended goalless. 

Madueke is left-footed, right-sided winger who is also capable of playing as a center forward and attacking midfielder. 

Asked to share his thoughts on the signing of the young Anglo-Nigerian star, Potter told reporters at his post-match press conference after Saturday's draw at Liverpool : "Now I can speak about him because he’s a Chelsea player.

"He’s an exciting player and brings a left-footed attacking option for us and competition in that area of the pitch."

Former Tottenham Hotspur U16 captain Madueke is an U21 player so will not take up a spot on Chelsea's Premier League roster for the second half of the season.

Transfers this season under Tuchel: Koulibaly, Sterling, Cucurella, Fofana, Auba

Transfers this season under Potter: Badiashile, Mudryk, Joao Felix, Madueke, Fofana

Its early on but Potter is way clear in terms of transfer targets. 

Tuchel makes his teams worse by his this stupid decisions on the transfer market.

Potter is involved but the decicision isn't soely on him. 

Much like Pep and Txiki and Arteta and Edu, Vivell identifies a talent that has traits which translate to Potter's football. Potter and Vivell both must have the OK before it gets signed off.
