Duppy Conqueror 1,586 Posted June 30, 2025 Share Posted June 30, 2025 31 minutes ago, Fernando said: Unless we sell Neto. I often said I like Neto a lot, however he is limited at times. He is great to have in the team but if a team comes with a nice offer I would consider it. Palmer,Estevao,Gittens,Neto,George,plus others that can play in those positions if needed with Quenda coming next year is ample and thats presuming Noni will be sold soon. Two defenders and a new keeper should be absolute limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to be the only one we've been linked too for that role.hopefully he wouldnt be put off having to compete with Cucu tho and see that he can play plenty of games as cover for 2 positions to begin with.plus when you sign longterm for Chelsea you are likely to have many different head coaches so your situation can change if you arent at first a starter.

maxlev 57 Posted June 30, 2025 Share Posted June 30, 2025 Why not sell the whole squad and buy a new set of players for the season. Most fans will never be patient enough with our young players in the squad. Funny enough they are still clamouring for the club to sign similar set of players elsewhere. It is more of a back and forth thing 😂. I thought we did go for young, more consistent and experienced like R Leao, Rodrygo etc. Vesper and The Rising Sun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted June 30, 2025 Share Posted June 30, 2025 (edited) Like many, I am fine with letting Jackson go now we secured Pedro. Not necessarily bc of all his misses, he has some redeeming qualities on the pitch but bc of his continued immaturity and unprofessional attitude. His ability to deal with pressure (e.g. CL qualification expectations, competition from Delap) has only gotten worse, impressively emphasised by two bonkers red cards in his last three games. I am not there yet with Madueke. Granted, apart from his short purple patch last autumn he has been ineffective but his ability to wreak havoc and necessite 2on1 coverage in virtually every backline created space for others. I would say he has done just enough to earn another year of assessing his trajectory. Hence, I am also on the fence about kudus. He too is super quick, reliably invokes chaos in opposition defences but fails to tangibly capitalize far too often. It doesn’t make much sense to sign yet another left footed AM/Winger if we don’t sell Madueke - with a Neto likely being safe on current form. finally, as pointed out before, the squad needs some continuity. We can’t keep selling starters every summer, taking away this young squads ability to settle down a bit and internalise tactics and mentality.

mkh 783 Posted June 30, 2025 Share Posted June 30, 2025 Academy coach Jimmy Smith announces he will be leaving. +18 years at the club. Joined as an U8. Got a debut in 2006 under Mourinho and then came back after retiring to spend five years being a coach. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gittens went for £55m package, Noni can go for £75m minimum considering he is PL proven, and where would they play him? Odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro was out for the last five games at Brighton due to "discipline issues" and we keep sniffing around Garnacho, who is the ultimate toxic player.

Pizy 19,325 Posted June 30, 2025 Share Posted June 30, 2025 I’m actually kind of surprised that we haven’t been linked with Harvey Elliot with our whole young player obsession.

mkh 783 Posted June 30, 2025 Share Posted June 30, 2025 🔵SebSB on Gittens release clause: "It was a funny one. And this is actually why the negotiation has been a little bit protracted because his release clause is dependent upon which European competition Dortmund qualified for next season. So if they finished in the Champions League places, it was at its highest. If they missed out on European football together, it was at its lowest. And the problem was that over the last eight weeks of the Bundesliga season, Dortmund went from mid-table to snatching the fourth place on the final day of the season. No one kind of knew what their leverage was in that. So it was really, really awkward for everybody." (via@TheAthleticFC) Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the second offer over 50m was rejected, the Dortmund director went out of his way to say that it was only rejected bc the bid came in hours before the windows closed not bc of the amount. Still, they came back with 55m+ right when it reopened. Also got a hunch Bayern interest was never real and they just did it to coax the club they dislike most into overspending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Osimhen deal fell through because his agent wanted ridiculous wages, which was above the club's wage structure. And then somehow he ended up in Turkey of all places Mhsc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
