Currently we have ONE sure option: Enzo Fernandez And then: Mateo Kovacic - injury prone, contract status unclear, may leave in the summer Ngolo Kante - could be finished, contract expires in the summer, not sure whether it will be extended RLC - not Chelsea quality, would be gone if not for his massive wages, Denis Zakaria - on loan, still would need to be bought, had good moments but still it's uncertain whether he is Chelsea level Connor Gallagher - it's uncertain whether he is Chelsea level, and potentially could be sold for good profit Mason Mount - contract status unclear, still not certain whether can play in miedfield constantly, Lewis Hall, Carney Chukwuemeka - young and not experienced, both need a lot of playing time to further develop, Cesare Casadei, Andrey Santos, Charlie Webster - too young to be sure what is their real level in senior football good summary hopefully it soon becomes more......................

They could also target a midfielder and another central defender. so GK Jan Oblak Giorgi Mamardashvili Illan Meslier Mike Maignan Dominik Livakovic CF Victor Osimhen Dusan Vlahovic Jonathan David Ivan Toney Benjamin Sesko CMF/DMF Jude Bellingham probably a pipedream Nicolò Barella probably a pipedream Roméo Lavia Manu Koné Moisés Caicedo Alexis Mac Allister Declan Rice CB (Right-Footed) Jurrien Timber José María Giménez Robin Le Normand Merih Demiral Nathan Collins Giorgio Scalvini António Silva Taylor Harwood-Bellis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumtrubbler 6 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 to add. I loved havertz & yes he scored the goal in the CL final, but I'd like someone to explain to me in some detail where tf he's actually supposed to play.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a DMF/Hybrid MFer badly, that is not even remotely up for debate. And a GKer too, unless Slonina is ready to go at 18yo, which is possible, but not a lock at all. Mendy is done, and Kepa us strictly backup level. Obviously a CF, and as for a right footed CB, it is pretty clear as to why that is listed: A 39 year old Thiago is not going to play 5000 minutes, which leaves the 'needs to be sold because they are poor' duo of KK and Trevoh, plus the possibly perma damaged Wesley Fofana. Colwill (and that assumes he sticks as a first teamer here) is a left-footed CB, same for Badiashile, neither plays at RCB in a back 5 setup, nor on the right in a back 4 pairing. Remove (they really do need to jog on) Chalobah and Koulibaly and it's Wesley F. only to cover that spot when. I do not feel comfortable with that at all. NO, Azpi NOT a valid retort, so don't try and fling him out there as a viable option, especially in a back 4. He will likely not even be here anyway. Boehly REALLY fucked up this past summer with KK and Fofana. (and of course the turgid Auba, plus the crazed overpay for the very much meh CuCu. Sterling remains to be judged.)

Vesper 30,280 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Lol at anyone who thinks we are set at CB is just silly. Look at the potential disaster we now have in the CL after dum dum Potter left out Badiashile. I am now Potter out btw. He needs to go after this season, if not sooner. cfccrost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling he left out Badiashile because he's a 'good, young lad' who wouldn't throw a fuss unlike the higher profile players or their fans. Probably told him that his chance would come again. Felix is good, but he's still a loan player FFS. We're loaded with squad depth in the attacking positions, and he goes and does this. It's almost like he and his asst. manager scoured through youtube to check mainstream opinions in order to decide who to pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Felix, I wouldn't be surprised if that was part of his loan contract conditions where he would be given the chance to participate in the UCL. If only we didn't waste that money on Mudryk, Badiashile would have had a chance to play in the UCL this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I'm interested to see how Felix does over the next few games here. I know he's not a natural striker but I do think he's probably a better fit than Havertz currently, or even operating as a high 10 almost alongside him in attack. I get the impression if he does well here, and Simeone stays on at Atletico, we'll try and take him on loan again next season.

Also, given how useless we are upfront I think I'd rather see Enzo play further forward so he can be more of a goal threat which we desperately need atm, e.g. perhaps something like: Zacharia Kovacic Madueke Enzo Mudryk Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
