If we didn’t already have Noni who sadly looks prett bang average then Brennan Johnson would probably be an interesting player to have in the squad for depth. But having both would just be a]saddling ourselves with multiple bang average RW’s.

We need someone ready made and already very good. An instant impact, goal scoring beast.

Come on.. People actually want Felix back? What convinced you last season?

 

No doubt about his talent, but wasteful, no position is 100% suitable for him, continuously makes disrespectful comments towards his club.. Hard pass.

desperate times call for desperate measures

I remember people coming to understand that balling in Eredivisie hardly translates to playing football at top level, yet we are at it again, even freshly after bit anticlimactic experience with Noni. The Chelsea way.

I think it's just us signing the wrong players from the Dutch League.  Noni was nothing more than a solid youth prospect who was just finding his rhythm in the Dutch League...he very likely needed another season on loan in a more challenging league before returning to Chelsea. 

I recall our London rivals signing Vertonghen, Toby, Eriksen from Ajax and they turned out to be good signings.

It is disappointing indeed. I was completely ok with selling and not buying back Livramento, we received good money for hime(twice actually) and he wasn't really needed. But Hall? Chillwell tends to injure every season, our second choice is Cucurella.. So we are bound the watch that 60 million joke while our great young player is playing in Champions League ON LOAN.

He would definitely be best of the lot (considering the players we're being linked with).   I wouldn't mind another loan if Atletico were okay with it.   At least gives us an option till Nkunku is back up to speed.

Now that we bought 2 new, high priced DM’s I don’t think bringing Felix back makes sense. If the plan was to stick with this back 3 for good I could see the case for Felix because he could just play the same role Carney has been. But if we’re going to play a 4-3-3 with Enzo, Caicedo, and Lavia I don’t see a place for João. Putting him out wide where his excellent and intricate link up play in tight spaces is negated would be a waste.

I will say this, though. If we get close to the deadline and are panicking to find some sort of attacker I’d rather Felix than some of these other names we’re linked with like Balogun or Brennan Johnson.

Paying 130 million for one season wonder kid by a club you can't say no to, but doesn't suit your skillset for a smallest shit, what could go wrong? At least we do more sensible business, oh wait.

I'm not convinced we're switching system. I think Poch will either try to fit the 3 into his 4-2-3-1 or rotate between them.

I think it is possible that Enzo will play further forward or Caicedo might in a role similar to Maatsen in preseason, as the guy leading the press as Kante used to.

Now, now, now. 

Yes and no. Sounds like Potter time chant, but truth is, while some people are childishly entitled, you cannot spend nearly billion or so in short time and not be held accountable for result. If you want to play the "future", developing cooking exciting talent potential success will come in 5 seasons game, you can do this via purely academy players for nearly free and in more satisfying way. 

There never was and isn't a reason for us to go mid-table route yet still we seem to entertain it.

Yeah but what else can u do? We had the new upcoming "talent" manager, now we have the experienced proven coach, we had a very experienced team last season, now we are having a very talented young squad. What else is left? If it doesnt work this year, we can officially close this club bc Roman had a deal with the devil.

Chelsea, led by Behdad Eghbali, are in talks over Brennan Johnson. The idea of Callum Hudson-Odoi going the other way has been discussed, as Chelsea believe they can get the fee down.

Johnson is heavily liked by Joe Shields, who is getting increased power at Chelsea. He’s specifically liked for his versatility at the wing, striker & 10.

Mohammed Kudus is still of big interest to Chelsea & especially Laurence Stewart. He also fits all 3 positions.

Bradley Barcola another name of interest, but less than other 2 at this point.

I'm not entertaining it, nor are others from what I see. 

Overreacting to 2 games in the season is what I'm talking about. Our team is pretty deeply injured at the moment, and our new signings haven't even all played. 

Let us play a game with 4 at the back and have our new signings on the pitch at least.
