I mean yeah, Pedro and Giroud aren't great anymore but could he have made better use of them? Both of them started the season well but they suddenly got tossed aside - Giroud after the Super Cup game and Pedro after getting injured. Like why? He had rather flogged Willian, Pulisic and Abraham to death rather than put a bit more trust in them. If we don't sign a player or two then to me it's a sign the board are having second thoughts about keeping Frank next season. Nothing is ever to shocking or stupid when it cones to the planning and running of the club. Iggy Doonican and Vesper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA 9,938 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 If we dont sign Sancho. Werner. A World Class LB. A superstar CB and maybe throw Oblak into the mix this summer. We should seriously start thinking about protesting against this board. Atomiswave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!Hazard! 3,394 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Should have signed a striker. ANYONE would be an upgrade over Batshuayi. If we couldn't get Cavani then there are still players out there. Weghorst, Pukki, Gabigol, Jota... Weghorst would have been my go-to in case Cavani deal was out of question. We rely a lot on crosses into the box and he's just about as good as anyone in Europe at being a target man. Extremely hard working striker as well, would fit into any team that needs a striker who can press and do the dirty work. He's a man on a mission too, trying to secure himself a starting sport in Netherlands squad for Euros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know that would cost us 400 million, right ?Oblak alone costs 100 Million Sancho at least 120 million.We made a loss this year around with more than 100 Million and you want us to spend that money ? I think we will spend around 150 to 200 Million Euros.Gesendet von meinem SM-G920F mit Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is ever to shocking or stupid when it cones to the planning and running of the club. OR maybe, the board have learned their lesson to not buy average players for short term gains. Lampard's frustration today was clear to see but let's not forget, he has also said many times that signing players, the right players this months is always gonna be difficult. We obviously don't know the full story and all that but if the board had really tried to get Cavani, Mertens etc and they don't want to come for one reason or another, then I'm not sure Lampard can be super frustrated over the situation because he knows signing the right players in January is difficult. It was always gonna be a catch 22 situation. Moreover, had our transfer ban not been overturned, Lampard would have had to work with the same squad for the entire season. And now that it would be the case, despite the ban being overturned, maybe it's time for Lampard to focus on the management side of things and try to get the best out of the players, the team for the remaining months of the season. We will see what happens in the transfer market in the summer. ulsterchelsea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 150m a window. They really arent high expectations for a club as rich as ours. Plus... if spent wisely... we could easily get what I said with that money.

For example, Bats is super shite, way beyond useless...even Deeney is better than him. Most CFs we bring in is an instant upgrade to Bats. Is Batshuayi really suitable a benchmark to be used for a good backup ST? It should say a lot about finding a good backup ST in January when the likes of Man United are reportedly going after Bournemouth's Josh King (IIRC, people weren't too happy when we were linked with Callum Wilson).

DDA 9,938 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 What baffles me the most... I'd that we didnt get s lb.

Lampard and the board do seem to be putting all the eggs into the Chilwell basket because that's the only LB we have been seriously linked with over the last few months.

ZAPHOD2319 4,818 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 If we bring in some WC talent in the summer, perhaps this was for the best. If we don't, it will be truly sad that this team is not going to be a team contending for the top 4 team every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
