On current form no, especially not selling him to a rival either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it to do with Poch?....too early to say I'm afraid. Unless there is a disaster next season, this is a top four team at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Can't believe how many are falling for Cucurella's little resugrence in form. He is a defensive liability and doesn't have the necessary quality for the role he plays coming inside. The worst wingers in the league have their way with him, he's easily beaten 1v1 and hardly ever stops crosses coming in from the left. He only plays because the other LB is a crock. It's by far the weakest position in the back 4 and arguably the squad (only LW is worse because it's a battle between Mudryk and Sterling).

The problem is the whole team has had a "little resurgence in form". It could be luck - but I will give Poch the benefit of the doubt...with little confidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's by far the weakest position in the back 4 and arguably the squad (only LW is worse because it's a battle between Mudryk and Sterling). Haven't seen anyone, anywhere, play the role as well as Cucurella. What qualities is he lacking for it out of curiosity? Let me guess, he's not good enough on the ball, like Lewis Hall. People who think they have to be some sort of technical master to play the role really don't understand it. Watch Trent when he does it, great on the ball but his reading of the game, awareness and lack of physical ability means he's playing in midfield or right back, he lacks all the attributes to do both. He's unable to read the game well enough to understand when he needs to drop back into defence and far too often when he does realise its too late and he doesn't have the speed or energy or work rate to get back. Cucurella is everywhere, it's like having two of him on the pitch at the same time. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguelito07 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Anyone else concerned that there is still uncertainty on whether Poch is staying or going? Or am I reading too many twitters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kelly Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 As I mentioned previously , I don't think you'll find many Chelsea supporters who aren't Fifa stat whores/ Twitterclowns who want to see Gallagher sold but if the boy won't sign his new deal , what exactly are we supposed to do ? We need to be balancing the books and Gallagher is a saleable asset that we won't want to see go for nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but there could be different reasons not signing a deal, using extreme examples here- if he is being offered £20k a week then he has every right not to sign, is he is being offered £200k a week but wants £350k then probably best to cash in I'm guessing we will never know the details of the contracts, I just hope he is being offered an honest deal that reflects his worth to us as fans, and the team. If that is the case and he doesn't want to sign, then fair enough on the club for cashing in this summer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he has only just started playing over expensive signings, he has played over expensive signings all season. And Chalobah is there on merit.

Disasi is nowhere to be seen now that Chalobah is fit. Somebody thought spending 45m on him had to be done. (I think Disasi is decent but Chalobah is more versatile.) You would expect Poch rates Chalobah and Gallagher more than two players who cost the club 100m. All the briefings make sense if you think of it that way. Some people are fighting for their jobs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our defence is obviously the big week point in the team and Chalobah isn't the level we need to improve the defence to where it needs to be. He'll be fine as a squad player but not a starter on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was about whether he is being picked over certain others because Poch is trying to prove a point, or not. Personally, I think he is picking the team that he thinks is the best available to him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
