We are desperately missing leadership, I watched Obi's podcast the other day on what life was like at Chelsea with Ballack, Essien etc and one point that always strikes is that he said everyday was like you had to prove yourself or you'd be told what you're not doing.

Osimhen Vini Jr (Vini ONLY can happen as I explained multiple times about Mbappe/Håland/Osimhen and LWer/CF at Madrid with Reece as bait, and it still is a one in hundred shot) if no Vini then Jamal Musiala or Florian Wirtz or Khvicha Kvaratskhelia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are helping him. Football is about mistakes. The responsibility is with the whole team and the coaching staff is the first. To blame someone is to blame us, myself, but not him." Sanchez was caught in no man’s land, however, when Brentford hit their second goal in a 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge - the first time any team has won their first three Premier League games at Chelsea: Pochettino: “Enzo and Mudryk felt something in training yesterday, small muscle injuries for them both. We hoped they would be okay to be in the squad but they aren't quite ready. We didn't want to take risks.” Nicolas Jackson involved in a heated exchange with a Chelsea fan – Pochettino forced to intervene [talkSPORT via CaughtOffside] Why has Noni Madueke’s season not gone to plan so far? Find out here. Trevoh Chalobah’s confirmed departure will force Chelsea into the transfer market. An exclusive behind the scenes look at what’s next here.

robsblubot 3,595 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) For posterity: been watching Ferguson closely in the minutes he gets. Potential: he looks pretty good on the ball, and is a pretty powerful guy esp for a 18yo. His reading of the game is also impressive for his age. It's still difficult to know his ceiling, but he looks promising no doubt. Current ability: nowhere near the level we'd need... we are talking 3-4 years to get a player out of him. Another way to read this is, he's not good enough to be a decisive player as a youngster. (watches as he proves me wrong this season or next one) 😅 Edited October 30, 2023 by robsblubot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did what was right for his development at the time, can't fault him for that, plenty of others came to us in the opposite scenario. I don't think he fits any team that doesn't already have someone there, whether they are better or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milka 3,395 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 They spend a billion and this squad still need Striker , creativity mid , Goalkeeper , and another players like adequate right winger how comical is that . These yankess just wasting money without adressing the problems in the team .

Vesper 30,278 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Victor Osimhen and Nico Gonzalez to Chelsea? https://thedailybriefing.io/i/138441364/victor-osimhen-and-nico-gonzalez-to-Chelsea We know Chelsea could prioritise a new striker this January, and Victor Osimhen is one of the names linked, but I think it’s likely to be very difficult to get him out of Napoli in January. I wouldn’t say it’s impossible because nothing is impossible in football, but it’s really close to impossible. For Napoli, Osimhen is a really important player, and the club are not scared to wait until the summer to sell him, even if he hasn’t signed a new contract yet. They did the same with Kalidou Koulibaly in the past, even though there were always rumours about him, so Napoli always do their best to keep their players. It’s not been an easy season for them, but they’re hoping to do important things in Serie A and Europe, so I think they will try to keep Osimhen. Maybe a crazy bid could change things, I think they will make it really difficult for clubs to sign Osimhen. At the moment they are not even mentioning a price, so I think it will be more than difficult for any potential suitors. Another Chelsea rumour is that Nico Gonzalez is now on their radar, but honestly I’m not aware of any contact with Chelsea at this stage. It’s a very quiet situation since Fiorentina rejected £40m from Brentford last summer. He’s a very good player in my opinion, but he probably needs one more year in Fiorentina before thinking about a big move to somewhere like Chelsea.

Vesper 30,278 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Possible ins and outs at Chelsea this January https://thedailybriefing.io/i/138449579/possible-ins-and-outs-at-Chelsea-this-january Chelsea do want another striker in 2024 but no final decision has been made yet as to whether to move in January or wait until summer. There is faith in Nicolas Jackson and Armando Broja and a feeling within the club that Christopher Nkunku’s return from a knee injury could make all the difference. It will be near impossible for Chelsea to sign Victor Osimhen mid-season. Although the Nigerian forward hasn’t extended his Napoli contract, Aurelio De Laurentiis just doesn't want to sell in January. There’s no doubt Osimhen will leave for over €100m if he doesn't extend, but Napoli are prepared to wait until summer unless they receive an astronomical offer. Ivan Toney is a more ‘gettable’ target in January. Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs have all held internal discussions about him. Brentford want at least £65m, but several sources feel that number could be closer to £80m. It will all depend if there's a bidding war. Brentford would welcome Chelsea interest and Toney is keen to move sooner rather than later. Toney has no fixed preference yet, but it is true he has admiration for Arsenal’s project and a desire to play Champions League football. Chelsea still need to focus on outgoings in January. Trevoh Chalobah is expected to be sold. It’s not true he is solely looking to stay in the Premier League. The priority is actually just regular minutes and ideally European football. Chalobah rejected Nottingham Forest last summer because he felt he could get the latter somewhere else. He really wanted a move to Bayern, who tried for a loan on deadline day over the summer but ran out of time. Dortmund are also one to watch when the January window opens. Ian Maatsen could also be sold in 2024 if he doesn’t sign a long-term deal at Chelsea. The same can be said for Conor Gallagher, even though he’s been captaining the side in the absence of Reece James and Ben Chilwell. Gallagher wants to stay and fight for his place at Stamford Bridge, but Chelsea would still seriously consider offers around £45-50m. Spurs, last summer, felt that asking price was too high.
