These are all players that should massively improve those sides. Hopefully we get our midfield targets as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lluubbeenn 173 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 We MUST get the right players in. Even if we get only 2-3 players, they have to be starters. We will have a lot less games and no world cup this time around, we need a tight group. If we mess up this window there is a good possibility we finish between 7-9 and our stature is heavily damaged. Last time we had such a bad season we won the league the following one and swept it under the rug, but with so many new faces around the club mediocrity can easily become the norm.

Blue Armour 4,439 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Even if we need to sell players, I hope the club holds firm and moves them on only after it's certain that we are getting adequate replacements. Don't want a situation where Pochettino gets screwed over due to lack of depth in midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's been the issue for far too long. We buy players that aren't that much better than what we already have instead of undisputed starters.

Pizy 18,909 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Regarding Colwill, I’m sure all of you here also follow Liam Twomey on Twitter and he does raise the concern I’ve also expressed. We’ve spent an absolute fortune on CB’s this last 12 months including 2 that play in the exact sort of area Colwill does. One of which is just barely older than Levi and is very promising in Badiashile. So it’s a real headache if you’re Poch deciding which of these players starts in a season where you would have to assume rotation will be much rarer since we aren’t in Europe. And you can understand why Colwill may be hesitant to return. Badiashile is just 22 and is starting material with lots of potential. KK is at an age and on wages that make it a total waste to have rotting on the bench every week. But he has already expressed his desire to stay at Chelsea and make up for a poor season. The best solution for us is of course to move KK on but I don’t see how at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair that is almost a club record for them. My guess is they are trying to show Colwill they want him more than us and turn his head.

Has he not been a good squad player these past 2 seasons? Seems fine with his role as well, can also be an emergency RB. Given a back 4 is now on the horizon, would've made a lot more sense to part ways with Silva and try and offload Koulibaly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,909 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Not that I rate Trev particularly highly, but it’s probably best he stays. Azpi is totally spent and Fofana is injured a lot. We need someone who can reliably fill in on that right side. With Silva and Azpi both leaving following this next season we may need Trev. Koulibaly is the only one of our CB’s that doesn’t have an obvious role unless Silva gets a big injury and Poch is playing 3 at the back. That middle CB position is the only place I somewhat trust him in at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
