Chelsea Transfers

[Alabama 1,992]

Flashback....

Memories of last summer when everyone here was moaning after the take over from Boehly and Co over the purchase of players weeks after the transition was completed.

The whole football world was mocking Chelsea that days of expensive player transfer was over...7 months after the whole football fan base now crying over Chelsea excessive spending....

Lol...long may it continue so long we continue to attract top quality players...

Playing out of position doesn't help, and having turds round you has an effect, having class around players makes them play better.

He's played virtually every position and has looked equally shit. 

Don't give me that.

Exactly no consistency, how the fuck you meant to settle and perform at your best when your played out of position constantly? Ever since he came he's been playing every were possible, use you head. His confidence is absolutely shot! It's got to the point now, nobody knows where to play him.

Mate, I'm telling you... I know a midfielder when I see one... Caicedo and Mac Alister are class acts.

The issue we will still have by just replacing Jorginho with Caicedo, though, is we’d still have the same creativity issues from midfield. But I guess perhaps with Caicedo in the team he frees up Kova or whoever is next to him to focus more on getting forward without worrying about helping J5 defensively.

Caicedo would be a vast improvement for this transfer window but we must get a proper creative mid in the summer if we can't get the Russian lad......

I just can't see it, just bought a Ukrainian for 80m to then pay 15m for a Russian and place them in the same squad and expect every one to just get along? Might happen sure! But what's mudryk going to think if we had over 15 million to a Russian club? The amount of politics involved is ridiculous.

He has publicly said he can play anywhere in attack. 😂

And for what its worth, he's played at CF and ST this season, arguably his strongest positions and has looked like a pub league player the majority of the time. 1 good game in 5 and this has nothing to do with being played out of position or having average players around him. He can't dribble past opponents, he can't finish with power, he can't create, he has no balance or composure in the final third. 

He's simply an average player where the majority of his goals have come from being a target man.

Thanks to this man, our club lifted a second champions league trophy and got the win at the weekend. He's alot better than he's showed and I for one believe with the right players around him, he will come good.

Yeah, I'll say it once again - people seem to not notice what is going on in the world around them. Not even going into ethics and sanctions, imagine the prominent US Citizen sending 15 millions of dollars to Russia now, just like that. Good luck. The player is of course victim here, but oh well. This is not happening and is utter shitshow if it somehow does.

Argentina winning Brazil away in Copa America final is more impressive than what they did at WC. Enzo wasn't even part of that team. 

On WC they basically draw with average Holland team and also draw with France without possibly 5,6 starters out. Lucas, Kimpembe, Kante, Pogba, Nkunku and Benzema. Considing 5 goals in those 2 games. Martinez saved in last minute of OT a loss and also he did the same against Australia in last 16 game and prevented another overtime. They lost against Saudi Arabia and beat horrid Poland and Mexico. Semis against Croatia was their best game. 

So Enzo or no Enzo, question is, is he really that important for them? 

that Copa America field was one of the weakest in the past 50 years

I talked about it back when it was happening

Has anyone noticed how we've agitated news outlets in the UK?

Sky on youtube is constantly posting stuff about our spending, almost every other day. Just recently they posted a list of the top 5 spenders this season., and made sure to highlight Chelsea at number 1. No mention about the number of players we have out injured. But transfer fees? Oh yes.

That's because, we are one of the most hated clubs in England. The press love anything negative they can post about us.

Also blatant undercurrent of xenophobia against Americans imo, a lot of it is pure "these fucking Americans don't know how to behave like us classy Brits"

Imagine getting rid of a Russian owner to then be replaced by Americans to then send 15m to Russia
