Chelsea Transfers

So it doesn’t look like any of these big clubs made a significant move to improve themselves and change their outlook for the remainder of the season other than City, right? Unless I’m forgetting someone.

Big players just don’t really move in January anymore. Too many clubs now have lots of money and can block top players from leaving against their wishes.

Lavia is the same as Fofana really.when fit a starter but shouldn't be counted on for more than a 5th option in a position that has 2 starters.Caicedo,Enzo,Santos and James being ahead of him.

I would say IF and when Lavia is fit (which is perhaps not going to happen again for a significant stretch of time barring some semi-miracle) and has played he has quite often looked superb.

The last time Fofana looked superb was before his leg break at Leicester, never ever with us.

Even if Fofana never misses a game again due to injury he is NEVER going to be good enough anymore. He has lost a lot of pace and explosive movement and that has fucked up his overall game.

There’s always this hope that Lavia can stay fit. We saw Reece and Fofana have horror spells and both seem to be over their injury woes  lately. But for Lavia his issues seem more than bad luck. He may have an actual medical condition where his knees are predisposed to break down. His body just may not ever allow him to remain fit for extended periods periods.

If we could ever just get 2-3 months straight of Lavia we would be a different team. He really would be like a new signing. But we know that’s not going to happen.

The word temporary is a word that winds me up, especially in the context of how your using it. Temporary in football and especially in our situation could be a disaster and it always seems to be finding a solution, not for players that are injured but a solution to bog average players playing shit.

I know what Sarr is all about, there is a reason we loaned him out and have now pressed the panic button. But this is a rinse and repeat scenario at the club, loan loan loan loan......quick oh shit our defenders are having a stinker get him back save a few quid. problem like I have said earlier is, Sarr is going to be behind Badshit, Fofana, Chalobah and may just get in ahead of Tosin due to his injury but he ain't starting anytime soon in a league he has hardly kicked a ball in, it's purely for numbers and stifling his development, but as we have seen this club cares very little about development of loan players they are used and treat like chess pieces.

I'm calling it now, Sarr hardly features, we hear murmurings of Josh not happy and we talk more and more about pathetic defensive mistakes

 

It’s a temporary solution in the sense that he was called back six months earlier than planned. He was already coming to the club in the summer — we’ve just brought that forward. It’ll be interesting to see whether Badiashile is ahead of him in the pecking order, but since LR already knows him, I do think he’ll play a few matches ahead Badiashile.

What I don’t really see is much space for Acheampong, but we’ll have to wait and see how things play out. Maybe Sarr turns out to be a pleasant surprise and actually has more potential than Jacquet, which I understand choosing Liverpool given how many centre-backs we already have.

It’s also become clear that the club will only pay big money for young players like Jacquet. Since they didn’t see any others worth that level of investment, they went for the easy option and recalled Sarr.

The club didn’t try any other crazy move for another player because, almost without anyone noticing, the season is already well past the halfway point. They’re probably banking on the injured players returning and getting at least a few games under their belt, hoping that’s enough to muddle through until the end of the season.
