The work rate has dropped because half the players have been sent out on fucking loan.

Angelo

Santos

Casaedi

All ballers who brought in energy to the team. 

Nkunku injured too.

It's a fucking joke.

We can't just keep pointing to this, then that, then this. 

One point is lack of experience, and your posts says more youth and energy, then we will go back to experience. 

I think ultimately, we need patience. We are all guilty of throwing our toys out of the pram in the game threads because passion is at an all time high and we haven't got many wins recently, but realistically, it is all we got.

I agree.. it's just pure frustration at this point. The club keep making poor decision after poor decision it seems.

To be fair we had a great 20 year run. I guess a bit of patience from us isn't too much to ask for... is it? 🤣

we are 14th and last season we finished 12th. I don't want to hear any talk about being patient when we are this bad.

Just because you don't want to hear it, doesn't mean it isn't needed.

They would have the same issues but at least they seemed game-ready. The seniors who replaced them were hardly older and are behind on preparation - Ugo, Lavia, Palmer

Chaos summer 2.0 is one more reason for this start.

Exactly how i felt about Caicedo, this is too much money for a player that doesn't alter a game at an elite level.

I saw Caicedo as our Essien-like all action midfielder but at present he looks completely shot of what to do and where to be, similar to McAllister at Liverpool.

Caicedo is not a 6

this twitter rando Felix has been consistently wrong on so many things/predictions (far beyond just Caicedo)

and he is obsessed with slating Caucedo for months and claiming he is a bog standard 6

Ivan Toney and more strikers on the move

https://thedailybriefing.io/i/137210693/ivan-toney-and-more-strikers-on-the-move

It’s an important moment for many strikers, even though nothing is happening now. In January and in the summer there will be a lot of movement of strikers, and one to watch is going to be Ivan Toney. My information is that Brentford know that the player wants to leave in 2024, we’ll have to see if that will be in January or next summer, but we know that Toney appointed a new agent because he wants to try a new experience at a top club.

Many clubs have asked about Toney, including Italian clubs, but staying in the Premier League is the priority of the player. Chelsea are well informed on the situation of the player, but also Arsenal are well informed on the conditions of the potential deal. Both clubs asked for information, let’s see if other clubs will join the race, but for the moment I can guarantee that both Arsenal and Chelsea have shown this interest. Still, it’s important to clarify that Arsenal have not decided yet how they want to act in January in terms of strikers.

Of course, nothing will happen with Toney now, nothing will happen next week, it will take time to see the price tag and all the conditions of the deal, so fans need to be patient, because many things can happen on this story, but it is one to watch because the idea of the player is to try a new chapter in 2024.

Another striker to watch in 2024 will be RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko. He scored his first Champions League goal last night against Young Boys and has long been regarded as a top talent, and at every single Leipzig game there are scouts from top clubs monitoring him, especially from England. His progress is being monitored, let’s see what will happen, though not in January for sure, but in summer 2024 or 2025. The price tag is impossible to say now as he only joined Leipzig 60 days ago, it's not something evolving now, but one to watch in the near future.

Lautaro Martinez spoke today and revealed that many clubs were interested in him in the summer, but it was never a topic because he always wanted to stay at Inter Milan. I’ve already reported that Chelsea turned down the chance to sign Dusan Vlahovic, and Martinez was also never an option for Chelsea because after paying Inter big money for Romelu Lukaku they were cautious about doing a similar deal. Martinez would have been super expensive, and now he is going to discuss a new contract with Inter very soon.

In other news…

Julian Nagelsmann - German DFB now close to completing the formal agreement to appoint Julian Nagelsmann as new head coach of the national team. Details are being discussed on the salary as he will take a pay cut — Bayern are prepared to terminate Julian’s contact.

Jadon Sancho - There have been no further updates on the Sancho situation yet, we’re still waiting for it to be discussed and clarified. In terms of potential January signings out wide, it would only be guessing right now. Man United are not working on it at this stage, but of course if Antony and/or Sancho are still not available, it could could be the case that they would look at strengthening in that position.

Antonio Nusa - Chelsea tried to approach Club Brugge in the final 48 hours of the summer window for Nusa but the player didn’t want to move. Nusa wanted to stay and focus on Brugge. For sure Chelsea will keep following him but I’m told there are four or five clubs in the race, it’s absolutely open.
