Pizy 18,952 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 So our incoming business is most likely done unless we have a couple of hefty sales this coming week. With James being back I bet the club are going to gamble for the remainder of the season and not bring anyone new in at RB. Midfield is where it could get interesting. I can see us improving our offer for Caicedo but not all the way up to £75m which would be madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blues.bridge 343 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 i won't take anyone else in, but i would sell almost 2 players by the end of the window! then other 10-12 in the summer with 2-4 purchases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But also we should chase European football next season even Europa League would be great. Likely we would be able to go all the way and when you put all together prize money, home game tickets, TV rights etc... EL can get us around 60m. Plus we will have big squad and as we always see a lot of rotation in that competition it would be also nice for us fans to watch Chelsea possibly 15 more times next season with young players.

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. Yes but I'm sure most of the signing in the summer as well before with lukaku had a big say tuchel. Hence after he was sacked we are doing much better buys.

True, but the signings made when Tuchel was still at the club were all done before any of the new recruitment people were even at the club so it was mostly just down to Tuchel himself and Marina (for Lukaku) or Boehly (for the signings made last summer). Would Tuchel's signings have been better too with Vivell etc. in place to help identify the right players? Maybe, maybe not. Also I would say it's still way too early to say anything about the January signings. Most of them look promising, especially Badiashile and Mudryk, but I would wait a little bit longer before making any definite judgement on them. Plenty of other players in the past have looked good early into their careers at the club, only to turn bad with more time.

Plenty of other players in the past have looked good early into their careers at the club, only to turn bad with more time. There's no guarantee that Tuchel would have worked with a Director of Football type model, considering the reason why he was sacked from the PSG job was because he fell out with their DoF. The one positive so far with Potter and this new setup under Boehly is that we're trying to get players in the Under-25 age bracket, which will allow them to develop together and build chemistry....rather than going for the finished product with minimal chances of improvement. I was surprised Badiashile was looked over in the summer, feel like he was a safer buy at CB than Fofana who was still recovering from a very bad injury.

(Remember when there were those rumours that he must be older than was being claimed because a teenager just could not be so powerful?) I soon realised however, and said, that his game wasn't up to much. Was surprised when Milan took him, even more surprised when he moved to Barca, and outright shocked by the initially good reviews he got there. Truth always outs in the end however.

Find a player with a realistic view of his level, someone who accepts that he is a back up, or do a Man City by recruiting a starting quality RB and employ a heavy rotation policy so new bloke and Reece share game time?

Burnley are eighteen points clear of the promotion line and Kompany loves Ian. Assuming there is no extraordinary collapse from The Clarets they'll be back in the Premier league next season so, depending on GP's view, there should some good options available to us re Ian; add him to the squad, a further loan with Burnley, or a good fee plus buyback for a permanent move.
