Imagine the curse of the Chelsea striker hitting someone we spend £150m on….

😬😬😬

Curses are there to be broken. Also, I'm sure we could get him for significantly less.

If we can afford to waste all that money on Neymar then we should be going all out for Harry Kane

[NikkiCFC 7,942]

Nkunku got assist on his first game back after injury. 

[ulvhedin 507]

If we only can make one transfer it should be someone to partner Enzo in the miedfield.

Unpopular opinion but we should not sign Felix. He has already shown he is not worth 100m+. He is clearly a talented player and technically superior to most of our AMs but he also is exactly what we do not need. Another fancy second striker/pseudo no.10 with no real output, terrible finishing and squishy confidence. He embodies everything that is wrong with our attack. We need to get rid of all those fair weather players, nearly-scorers who like to play it easy on the eye and just don't bring it in front of goal cos the ball bounces unluckily last minute or there is a breeze or the fans are too loud. Even if we managed to dump Mount and Havertz, we would be replacing them with a player with the exact same shortcomings. There is also no need to sign a backup for Nkunku for 100m+. They will not fit into the same formation. Nkunku has to be flanked by pacey, direct wingers like Madueke and Mudryk, who hopefully are the future.  Felix is not.

I would sign felix and sell havertz...also buy a 9 like oshimen or vlqhovic if they are willing to join a mid table club 😞

I was starting to move in this direction midweek.  Not fully there yet but not at all..'OMG we must buy Felix even if its £80, 90m!!' either

My take on the January buys:

Enzo - Good player but we overpaid for him. I would've been chuffed had we got him for 60m as I think it's what he's worth)

Mudryk - may be fast but we come up against a lot of low block teams, so what can he do with that pace. Not much it seems but time will tell.

Felix - Our best player is someone on loan from Atletico. I don't know what to say about buying him because I don't know if he or Nkunku is better. 

Badiashile - Has potential to lead the back line in the future. Its a toss up between him and Colwill but both will be UCL level.

Madueke - Bit of a donkey. Has very good physical attributes which I'm sure served him well in Eredivisie. Unfortunately does not have the tekkers that Gakpo has.

DDF - A massive Donkey. I don't know what this guy offers to the team. I think he plays on the shoulder and Potter is using him to link up play. He also relies on pace in a league where he won't get space against low block teams.

Gusto - Damn shame he got injured. Hope he's good as new by next season. This is the danger of loaning back and giving out long term contracts.

Santos - I'm wary of a player who has only proven himself on the south American stage. But a loan to Portugal next year would be good, after that we can assess.

I still have a gut feeling that Mudryk may have more problems with his mind, than his skill. He looks super dense, stressed and chaotic in everything he does on the pitch and the more it doesn't work, the more he is pushing, leading to more chaos. Funny, given we have just hired the super deluxe mentality coach.

Bit harsh on DDF, the kid hasn't even had a chance to develop on loan. 

As for Mudryk, I still don't get why we signed him.   Could have spent that money on a midfield partner for Enzo in the next transfer window.

Should have buried that 1 on 1 chance he had in the game, even the commentator was shocked saying that Nkunku normally doesn't miss those, but we'll give him the benefit of the doubt on this occasion. 

[Blues11 213]

We've made a lot of signings but not in areas of our most glaring needs. If you have a proper #9 and shore up the midfield then what we had on the wings was solid enough. 

Sterling, Pulisic, Mount, Ziyech, etc, would have all benefited from better signings at striker and an actual decent midfield. 

Instead we just keep overpaying for the same positions and none of them look like huge upgrades atm. 

Seems like we're getting hustled financially because we're desperate to improve instead of spending more wisely. Not a good look for the new ownership.

Cucu might go down as one of the worst signings for Chelsea. A depth wingback who offers nothing going forward for over 60m....yikes. 

 

[Vesper 28,793]

we need to recruit him as a GKer, lol

(or imagine him on free and corner kicks or crosses into the box)

(he is 1.93m too)
