I think if this was true as well as the fact we need a good winger, it would be done already 😂 Bale might not be everyones cup of tea but I dont think wed be stupid enough to say no to swapping Mount for Bale

Bale should be avoided at all costs.

In his 30s, has injury issues and relies on pace and atletisicm to be fully effective. He's got an Essien style decline written all over him in big fluffy letters.

Essien had like 2 huge injuries in 3 or 4 seasons though. Bale hasnt. There will be a decline but I dont think it will be on that scale. That story is a non starter anyway. For sure.

And we end up with Zaha up front, no excitement, just full stop travesty.

Knowing how delusional some of our fanbase are I won't be surprised if the board hands Tammy 150 a week contract and say he is our main man the next 10 years with Zaha as cover.

I am going to wait to deliver my final judgement until after the summer window

but if we cock up January and then summer, and make other horrid moves (renewals of dregs and non sales, etc)

we are deffo headed into a downward spiral

other than Pulisc, atm we are fucked at winger unless CHO truly recovers (which, as much as some will poutrage over, is NOT guaranteed)

we are well and truly fucked at fullback if Reece goes down, the other 3 are either pure dregs, semi dregs, or rapidly ageing and soon completely shot at top 4 competitive level on a consistent basis

we are fucked at DMF if we refuse to correctly use Kante (who turns 30yo next season as well) our defence is FUCKED up because we get so overrun in MF and at the back and lack the quick breakup/turnover play we have feasted off of got the last 15 years on balance

IF RLC doesn't recover to sufficient level (a possibility) and Mount doesn't pan out, we are fucked at AMF, and TBH, we so lack creativity overall anyway

Other than Rudiger, we are hoping for potentiality at CB (Tomori and atm no one else), as Zouma and AC are simply never going to be true Chels quality

If Tammy goes down, we are WELL and truly fucked atm at CF (and yet some rant on that we can never have 2 class CF's, which is fucking madness and the path to doom)

finally, Kepa had best pull his head out of his arse

Tbf Tammy has outscored almost every CF weve been linked with. He deserves a new deal and I would imagine he will hit 20 goals this season.

If Tammy doesn't hit 20 this season that means he will only score 6 (or less) more goals in the next 25 or so games (could be more if we go deeper in the FA Cup and CL.)

Even if you are talking 20 league goals, a failure there to hit 20 means he scores 8 (or quite possibly less) in the next 21 EPL games.

IF those scenarios happen, forget top 7 (unless we somehow buy an ace striker in January who benches Tammy and/or a monster winger)

I would more worry about our wingers rather than Tammy. Tammy and Kova are the only guys who really impress me this season. Kante impresses me only in big Games and once in a while against the smaller Teams. The main Offensive Problem is Willian because he does not have World class dribbling nor shooting. Puli is fine. A little bit inconsistent, but I have seen enough Quality of him to see now that he has been a Great buy, which I really did not expect.

In a Perfect World, we would also have more creativity to make better passes to Tammy, who would even score more goals.

Let us see how RL comes back. If he is still the old Ruben, his comeback will be huge for us.

Have both Werner and Abraham in my FM20 Chelsea squad and both did well...

No Zouma and Willian and there's also Havertz, Ziyech (cc @killer1257).

Nice squad. You even got Ziyech.

I hope you let James play instead of Azpi ^^

Report: Dortmund name price for Jadon Sancho

https://www.chelsea-news.co/2019/12/report-dortmund-name-price-jadon-sancho/

England international Jadon Sancho has been THE talk of town in the footballing world, and he has quickly become a very sought after 19-year old.

There are a host of clubs who have been linked with making a move for Sancho in January, including Chelsea, with claims they are set to offer £100 million for his services.

However, according to former player turned Journalist Jan Aage Fjortoft, Dortmund will demand £127 million for Sancho, and will not sell him until the summer.

150m euros

so if the pound tanks versus the euro, that £127m figure will increase

I said he would cost around £100m to the more likely amount £120m, so was not far off (on the high end, unfortunately)

I do not see the board dumping this type of cash out (hell I had doubts on my original figures)

there are probably only 5 possible clubs he will end up at

RM, Barca, Manure, Shitty, or PSG

the usual suspects
