I still can't believe I got my dream midfield of Enzo and Caicedo. 

I wonder if Todd and company read this thread 😁

Isn’t Olise basically the same player as Noni? Don’t really see the point of stockpiling wingers again after we just got rid of a few. Same with midfielders. Olise also does not score goals - at least assists some. But for the price it is worth a shot. Just sad to think how many of our wingers and cms will have their career ruined by sitting on our bench watching Sterling stumbling balls into the side netting.

Noni more of a dribbler whereas Olise more of a creator. 

Sterling could be off to Saudi this time next summer.

Would rather see Cucurella go and Maatsen stay

Nine that need to go

Lukaku

Sterling

Cucurella 

Conor Gallagher

Trevoh Chalobah

Callum Hudson-Odoi

Hakim Ziyech

Malang Sarr

Kepa (next season)

And potentially number ten:

If Broja doesn't do much, well buh-bye

Southampton director Jason Wilcox on Romeo Lavia: “We had an offer which we accepted from Liverpool but then Chelsea came to the table” 🔵 #CFC

 

“We're currently in negotiations with Chelsea, I'm confident that something will get done in the next week or so”, via @markgwyatt.

So Paul Joyce is full of shit saying Liverpool never bid?I bed he's also full of shit Liverpool never booked a medical for Caicedo. 

[Pizy 18,368]

Hopefully it’s done within the next 24 hours so that he can get a few training sessions in for the weekend. And so we don’t allow a desperate, begging Liverpool a chance to dramatically raise their bid and wage offer to Lavia to turn his head again.

We all know exactly how this new, Declan Rice-less West Ham will play. They’ll want to be super physical, high energy, and lots of direct play to try to rattle us. So having both Caicedo and Lavia in our midfield to battle them with physical power would be a huge bonus.

The hamstring tear Olise suffered from and is currently out with is a grade 3 tear so he might well be perma wrecked already.  Not that this comes as surprise as all our big signings are usually either injured, coming off a big injury or injure themselves badly shortly after signing for us. But that is probably the reason we keep stockpiling.

It’s a big concern for sure. Have to imagine that the club will be super cautious and not rush him in just because he’s a shiny new toy.

But for us to STILL push ahead with his signing rather than get someone like Kudus or Cherki who are ready to go right away it must mean they have absolute faith that he’ll recover fully. And they better be right if he’s getting a massively long contract!

At least the price is ridiculously low in this day and age. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

That’s a big, BIG price for a 19 year old but the upside and potential is world class. Huge show of faith by our owners and board if they seal this AND Caicedo.

The way football is now, we have to. 

The added time change. International breaks. Nations League bull shit. Champions League change where it is now a league table vs group stage. 

Quality in depth is needed everywhere.

Lavia is as unproven as it gets esp coming from championship.

Odd considering that Poch said no long ago, "Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that he does not want any more than 25 players in his Chelsea squad for the 2023-24 campaign."

???? Championship. 

He was in the PL last season lol. 

They just got relegated this season. And it was Poch that said he wanted more bodies in the mid.
