Having all possible transfer discussions and occasional off-topics in one thread makes it almost unreadable for Chelsea news. well, Rasmus Højlund was one of my Chels targets for CF for some time (as was Randal Kolo Muani, but then they both were priced at €100m) thus my posts plus it may well affect us in terms of prices paid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,985 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 While I don’t really rate ANY of the moves United have made thus far you have to hand it to them for at least going out and getting all of Ten Hag’s #1 choice targets. First choice keeper, first choice midfielder, and first choice striker (they were never getting Kane). Now they’re instantly moving on to Amrabat. Meanwhile, we’ve made a grand total of 1 senior signing intended for the first XI this summer in Nico Jackson. Nkunku was signed in January. We finished 12th, the next season starts in about 2 weeks, and we have no midfield right now. Vegetable and didi007 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we sign Caicedo and Kudus or whoever. Players this young are far from making an instant impact. Even if they knew the league, they still have to get used to the immense pressure, teammates, tactics etc. We are not even in for experienced players. The unwillingness to even look for an experienced GK or CB which are musts for a top 4 challenge shows that the owners want to grow this squad over years and do not really care about winning anything the next few years.

That's quite a bold stretch to call 22yo with one or actually half of season worth any attention in top 10 club under hist belt a "senior signing" 👀 Edited July 29, 2023 by Vegetable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gundalf 806 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 If we get Caicedo, our starting lineup is much better than last season, way more quality. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhsc 1,109 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Nkunku, Gusto, Nicolas Jackson, Mudryk, Enzo, and way more all bought in 2023 guys, calm down. Do you know how lucky we are with the new owners and staff they’ve got in place for us now? It’s taking time but they’re clearly getting there and we will get to a good place if we are patient and let them fucking cook. By deadline day probably we will get another two senior players is my guess. No it isn’t perfect but they’ve done a pretty cracking job in my books, when you look at the overall situation. bigbluewillie and Norfolkblue1961 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gundalf 806 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Enzo-Caicedo would be a much better midfield pair than Jorginho-Kovacic, especially after the CL win where they clearly declined, Nkunku-Jackson is a much better attacking pair than Havertz-Mount. Colwill is better than KK, Gusto better than Azpi, Mudryk still a better option than playing Sterling all the time like last season. mkh and Norfolkblue1961 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gundalf 806 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 This was our starting lineup for the first game last season. Sterling as false 9 bc we didnt have a striker, lol Havertz and Mount on the wings, lol KK and Azpi in defense Jorginho the regista Lots of experience - look where it got us We have the same or better players in every position, not a single downgrade. Caicedo is the missing part tho to kinda replace Kante. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,985 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Tomorrow will tell us a lot. If the reliable English journalists like Ornstein or Law tell us this new kid is going on loan then Caicedo is still coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can not see this eason as a "write off" our main line up it is better than last season and we have not european football, that means more rested to our players and more fresh players there are some doubts about some aspects as experience of our players but Im confident that we will play some good football and fight for top5 last season people wasn't expected our club and liverpool so weak and arsenal so stronger maybe this year we can see a change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,985 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 As I said yesterday, pretty much all opposition fans think because we had a nightmare last season that it erased everything we’ve done for the past 2 decades. Even tiny clubs who have achieved nothing like Brighton are talking shit about us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised people on this forum are going through other forums just to find "hatred". At the end of the day, they pulled our pants down with Potter & Cucurella and they'll very likely do the same with Caicedo as they know we have zero replacements lined up.
