robsblubot 3,595 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 The grass is always greener... the idea of a player is always nicer than the player you've got. 😉 Very concerned with movements being rumored: the players supposedly leaving and the level of players we are looking into. Recent signings apparently did not provide enough evidence of the difficulty of making this move to a top club. Blue Armour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point isn't about specific names, but the expectations when we sign unproven players and that they will perform at the level we need them to. I don't know if Caicedo is going to be good enough -- there is always some risk involved in any signing esp from a smaller club. At least the league is same/strong, but the same could be said of Cucurella who looked pretty good at that level, and yet all that energy is only good enough if followed by enough skill/technique.

Pizy 18,906 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Kante has been one of my all time favorite footballers and in my top 3 favorite Chelsea players ever together with Drogba and Hazard. Be really sad to see him go but it’s the right move for both him and the club. Adios to one of the best midfielders of his generation.

I have no complaint but work my ass off for years one daily salary.. Would be crazy not to accept.. Won everything already, he is over many injuries, can live in holy islamic place.. I wish him to accept and enjoy like crazy. Johnnyeye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,906 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 So that’ll be Kante, Kova, Mount, RLC, and for whatever it’s worth Zakaria all gone in one summer. Tbh, even 2 new midfielders may not be enough unless we are 100% going to give one of the 3 teenagers we’ve signed recently a real shot at first team footy.

Stupidity by the club not fighting to keep him if I am honest. Can’t buy experience. Can’t buy anybody better than this fella either when he’s fit and firing too (think Poch could have maybe used him similarly to Jose with Maka in his last season here and if we had a competent medical team that could also of helped get him fitter)- seems a waste letting him go so easily. Losing Rudiger, Jorginho, Kante, probably Azpilicueta, Kovacic as well in this window all in the space of 2 years - big players who have brought a lot in different ways be it through leadership, experience or personality. Poch really has got a lot to do here to because the majority of this bunch have shown they are utterly feckless when it comes down to all three of those. I sincerely hope there are a few players with big personalities coming into this dressing room and soon. Can’t expect all of these young fellas to bring it all either, so whatever the strategies going to be recruiting wise, it better include some proven players with leadership and more importantly, personality.

Vegetable 830 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 So, dream of a big lot of people is becoming reality - Kante leaving the team, as do Azpi and earlier Jorgi, Silva on last drops of fuel before retirement, just one question comes to my mind: Who is the leader and true blue (and experienced footballer) in this dressing room now? Mudryk, Santos? We are struggling for character and leadership, so let's clear out anyone with any sign of those traits and replace them with most random bunch you can generate on football manager?

All gossip for now, actually I believe Kante is one of a few players with moral backbone strong enough not to accept move only for financial reasons. There was a lot of talk that club didn't fancy to prolong his contract, so he could be pushed out of the door basically. If the salary was kept at current level, I'd take him on 2 year or 1+1 contract without hesitation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kante is at the end, we know it he knows it, morale backbone or not, if some one offer you 200m for 2 years playing football, your taking it regardless Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't had leaders or even positively vocal players in the squad since the old guard left. The sad thing is, our transfer direction is unlikely to solve that, which will continue to hurt us when the going gets tough (seemingly around Christmas time).
