Should of added at youth level. 

Pretty good in depth analysis on when Badiashile played RCB when being partnered with Panzo/Serrano. 

 

youth league football doesn't carry that much weight with me

some, but it is nothing like topflight, let alone the monster EPL

in the first half of last season, he played (league game starts) for Monaco at RCB twice in the league, both times in a back 5 (and in one of those he switched to LCB later on in the game), all his other starts were at LCB (usually in back 4), except for 1 at middle CB

in his 5 Europa league games he was LCB twice and middle CB 3 times, never at RCB

in his 10 starts for us he never played on the right, was mostly (8 times) at LCB, and then twice in the middle CB slot, in the 11th game, he was  late sub at LCB

the season before

6 Europa League games ( 5 starts and then a half game as a sub at LCB), 4 at LCB, 2 in the middle

4 CL games, 4 starts (including one where he played the full 120 minutes), all at LCB

and in 24 league games  all were at LCB except for 2, where he played in the middle CB in back 5

bottom line:

he is NOT a viable RCB, especially for the EPL level of play

He’d get 8 red cards in a single season in the PL.

I agree that rushing out and buying a CB this window makes little sense. It isn’t a concerning area at the moment. If this was the usual 60 match Chelsea season then yes. 

Maybe, just maybe we bring someone highly experienced on loan for the season if some opportunity presents itself. Someone who is 30+ and knows ahead of time that they likely won’t see much playing time.

right footed CBs 30yo and over

If theres any chance Kimmich is available, go for it. Would say yes he is still someone who has weaknesses particularly phyiscally as he isn’t the quickest per say but his quality, wealth of experience and competitiveness as a player is hard to find.

Barella would be next choice but to utilise him effectively we would have to play 433 and that means Enzo as a pivot which is no good either.

Kimmich will never come here

not unless we are talking years from now, when he is rinsed

he is one of the top footballers on the planet, a serial winner and Bayern just hired the genius Christoph Freund as sporting director, who will turbo-charge them again

summer 2022 buy (speaking NON YOUTH) window may well go down as one of the worst ever for an EPL club, it really looks like may be the case

hopefully Enzo and Muddy and Noni and Badi can save it from that

if Rom had also been bought in 2022 instead of 2021, it would likely have been the worst window in football history

 

 

Weird how every signing under Tuchel was utter flop, Fofana has been the best one and he is quite injury prone. Which we already knew before buying.

lol, Fulham are demanding €105m (£90m) for a 28yo DMF, João Palhinha

If he performs well this season he would become more expensive.

Manchester United 'agree personal terms' with Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund - but Red Devils are 'not close' to meeting Italian side's £86m valuation

Defensively - he is the best statistically out of Caceido, Rice, etc. 

So... maybe they are banking on that.
