Wouldn't anyone under the current fella, even Lionel Messi would sorry, has already. He has already achieved what almost no one else in the world has managed to do and that's make Messi look ordinary.

Will instantly turn into the backward lovechild of Mateja Kezman and Robert Fleck, unable to trap a bag of cement and with legs like a baby giraffe in front of goal the moment he signs for us. A £100m buy who only has two modes: injured and offside. Gets comfortably outscored by Jackson next season despite starting more games. Will make Paul Furlong look like Christian Vieri.

McCreadie Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 47 minutes ago, Mark Kelly said: He'll flop harder than Big Daddy. Tend to agree. I'd rather we got Sesko. He's not the finished article by any means and I would agree that a young inexperienced striker seems like the very last thing we need, but I just think he's going to be a real player. And he's relatively cheap. We seem committed to another year or two in the wilderness anyway, so why not. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how he’s gonna get outscored by Jackson when in a bang average season for Napoli he’s got 12 goals in 19 league games versus Jackson’s 9 goals in 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the Chelsea curse. World class, true pedigree strikers with incredible strike rates come to Chelsea and founder without trace. There's no rhyme or reason to it. The more highly rated they seem to be, the worse the failure is. The only decent strikers we've had in the last 20 years were Drogba, Costa, Crespo, Anelka and for half a season, Eto'o. The list is like a who's who of European strikers. Mutu, Kezman, Pizarro, Pato, Falcao, Werner, Torres, Higuain, Morata, Shevchenko, Batshuayi, Aubameyang, Felix, Havertz, Lukaku and before them Sutton, Fleck.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I saw it was a fair result; probably Arsenal should have had a penalty in the last minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exiledblue Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Looks like a busy summer window coming which means yet another season of players getting used to each other unless the business is all done the day the window opens and they get a full pre season to bond...recent experience says that wont happen.

You think it will be busy? With all of our budget spent, I'm thinking it will be a 3-in, 3-out summer. The most important thing is getting players settled and getting them fit.

Max Fowler Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Hands up - who on here will turn on Connor first for leaving? “He was crap anyway” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciatika Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 That is true for any player at the end of a contract. Palmer will have to leave if his contract expires. Conor's contract expires in June 2025. If the club intends to make an offer, it will be in May because of PRS. If not, they will seek bids in the Summer. Until then, this is just idle speculation without foundation. It's a typically stupid headline on a story that says nothing of any note: Sources: Chelsea star ready to look for move amid Chelsea hierarchy uncertainty (hitc.com) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Very similar to Jackson in some ways which explains why I rate him. Not the most prolific but I like how he plays. Think he could score more. Would definitely sign if it made sense financially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the points etc being dished out by the PL, clubs will not bid high on a player who is a free agent in 6 months. If the spuds want him Daniel will low ball around £30m, knowing it’s now or never for the club to cash in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
