If even Martinez is seen as not good enough for 11th placed Chelsea, it will be nearly impossible to get a "good enough" striker this summer.

Bit harsh to say he's not good enough, definitely better than what we have at Chelsea at the moment..

Sad to see how far we've fallen over the years.

Hes good enough to play in our team now but he's not the calibre of striker to make us a City or Madrid. I'm not aiming for anything less.

if we're talking about world cup, Mount was hopeless when he was on the pitch for England and as soon as Southgate benched him, they looked like a different team with Foden in the starting XI...

It's always hard to judge players on their world cup performance (e.g. Ziyech for his country and Ziyech for Chelsea is two completely different players)

Really tought he would wait until end of season, it’s no gift to take over this team with games against city, united and Newcastle..

Idk man, scored 7 goals in 30 games in Serie A. Really nothing that gets me off my seat.

By the way: quick comparison:

League goals in the last 3 seasons -

• Osimhen: 47
• Martinez: 58

Really looking forward to next season now and intrigued to see how he'll fare here.

I was always a bit sour on him being a possibility but having read a number of things on him, I do think the position this club is in currently and the group of players we have, on paper he appears to be a very solid choice.

I think the timing is right for him too, as one of my fears was that he would not be afforded any sort of time being ex-Spurs and the first sign of poor performance or a bad result could see fans turn very easily, but after the season we've had, I think there will be a much softer feeling around that too. If anything I think a lot of fans will be happy to embrace him now because he's such a big upgrade on Potter and Lampard.

Let's get this squad trimmed this summer and see what he can do. He's going to have a full pre season, and an uninterrupted season without European football to really stamp his mark on this squad, build relations, time on the training pitch, etc. I do believe without European football and one or two key additions, top 4 should be very feasible next season and that should be the primary aim next year. But I'd also like to see a squad that is fit and plays with purpose and intensity on the front foot from the kick off, something I feel the club has lost and lacked probably for the last 18 months.

We signed so many players that everyone wanted here and look where we are. Maybe some of us aren't the talent scouts we think we are.

Maybe I'm wrong about 3 of them but Declan is an absolute average player who has no business playing for a top team and no one can convince me otherwise.
