Pizy 19,249 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Yeah, that was kinda cringe and a bit concerning, huh? Don’t know if it’s because he set roots down in Brighton and wants to stay there or he’s had his head turned by someone else. Up to Poch and the club to convince him about his place here.

Also for him to get the chance to learn and play alongside one of the best still around is something that one shouldn't pass up on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is that I don’t see any other team investing/who invested the money we did, rightly or wrongly, ambition is ambition, and we’re honing in on translating that in alot of areas of the club. Will it be overnight? No, but go play for Brighton or someone else and I’d be confident in a few years we’ll look back at this blip, won’t we Mason.

I respect his talent, but this is another Mount story in the making - people loosing their shit over him, calling him "future captain" and biggest Chelsea talent, while he himself can't be bothered much and is sending signals since like 7 months he is one foot in freaking Brighton lol. I can somewhat understand he needs to be careful with his career at this stage and this is mostly the question of reassurance and level of trust that Clearlake season 2 feat. Poch is generating in players of all things. Hell, I can't even say how trustworthy it is to me and I am no one. And yeah, he may need to earn his spot, but not like we do not have history of freezing out players for months because f***k them, like Tomori, Mendy, DDA, or Chucka, who barely licked the pitch. We had all the possibilities to give players chance to impress under Lamps 2.0, yet we didn't, so I doubt Poch will be more likely to take risks when starting clean slate.

Mário César 1,475 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I don't know what to think about the lewill situation. I understand he is focused on his career, but he will have a place in the squad next year and Chelsea is much bigger than brighton. I don't understand your doubts honestly it's clear he won't have his rightful place, but this goes for any player in the squad. he has to show he deserves to play. if you are afraid of competitiveness...

He wasn't even a starter for Brighton, he doesn't want to stay not because of fighting for a starting place but because he doesn't believe shit in this project and because last year when he wanted to stay and fight for his place we almost binned him completely.

That’s the vibe I get too. He probably thought he was ready for Chelsea last summer but we tossed him to Brighton as a favor to Brighton for Cucu. He then went on to have a very successful campaign there and is probably settled. At least I hope that’s all it is. Because with a new manager his situation can be improved. If this is another Mount situation and he’s had whispers in his ear from another massive team (Klopp at Liverpool in this case) then this can be a big problem.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 let’s not read too much into one clip. Does not look enticing but he might just be annoyed at being filmed or whatever. What counts most is how committed he is on the pitch. If our project becomes successful a lot of doubt will be evaporate. Still would obviously prefer if Noni had not even seen the need to get this commitment out of Levi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mário César 1,475 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 he is only 20 years old best thing would be to renew for at least one more year and see how things go if he is sold now, i can see him being sold in two or three seasons to united, liverpool or city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. This is probably the best moment for a young CB to come into this team. Both Fofana and Badiashile arent that experienced in the PL and Silva is 38. I just feel he wants to go to another club soon, either Pool or United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was his live stream, so yeah, I don’t think he was annoyed about that. What’s annoying, instead, is his whole attitude towards Chelsea. First, it was that photo after the Man United loss.

I just feel he wants to go to another club soon, either Pool or United. we are hiring a lot of youngsters but not young central defenders. we have two options at worst: (a) renew him for just one year and thus leave the club stronger on a possible sale and stay at least one more year with him to see how it goes. if things don't go well, he can be sold and we get a strong amount for him b) not renew and bet on him even with only two years of contract. if it goes wrong, we'll sell him next year. we'll lose a bit of money, but i doubt the club will be prepared to buy a central defender this year, given the amount of players that will be sold and even more the players the club will try to hire for other positions. two years contract gives us a strong position on the situation the team is under renovation and we already have at least nkunku signed, who is a good bet, and possibly caicedo, who is another young player with a lot of potential we also have poch, who is a player that works very well and develops young players very well there's no reason to be sold this year nor can the club lose another central defender and be busy trying to hire another one. we have other priorities Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's gotten over the lowest of the lows and while he is by no means great, last season he also wasn't even half as bad as some are making him out to be. We're never going to win the title or anything significant with Kepa between the sticks but that's hardly going to be our level next season anyway and Kepa on last season's form is IMO good enough for a team challenging for the European places. I feel like we either need a WC GK or CF during this window. If we fail to sign either, it will come back to haunt us before Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesman2610 1,430 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 What we need is a top quality keeper near 30 years old who we can have around for minimum 2 years to maximum 5 years to see how Slonina develops. Valencia keeper would be great but he’s only 4 years older than Gaga who is supposed to be our future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is he the perfect fit, but he would actually love to play for the club and follow in his idol's footsteps (Drogba). There's no point going on about price at this point when Mbappe will probably end up costing two or three times more when all is said and done. However, if the club really think Vlahovic is the solution, I'll be disappointed. 1 minute ago, bluesman2610 said: What we need is a top quality keeper near 30 years old who we can have around for minimum 2 years to maximum 5 years to see how Slonina develops.
