He looked comfortable in the premiership or am I missing a nuance?. If he had the end product to match his undoubted technical ability he'd be capable of becoming world class. Players with that much natural ability who can't finish must have a problem between the ears and its possibly just down to a simple lack of composure? I wouldn't be against us loaning him for another year to see if Poch can help sort him out. Edited July 8, 2023 by boratsbrother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Blood Is Blue Posted July 8, 2023 Author Share Posted July 8, 2023 So Pulisic all but gone. Such a frustrating player, showed glimpses of what looked to be proper talent, but just never really turned out to be that good. Leaves us with Sterling, Madueke, Mudryk, and Nkunku in those attacking midfield positions (presuming CHO and Ziyech exit as well). We need at least 2 signings if we’re going to play 443 and at least 3 more if we’re going to play 4231. Ideally some PL experience in there as well… Harvey Barnes? I hope we start making some more signings soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely we should be looking for someone on the right to provide competition/cover for Madueke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukaku was bought during the Abramovich era, and under his ownership we tended to pay in one lump sum rather than in tranches (part of the 'power play' we indulged in to show just how rich and powerful the club were. It also made doing business with Chelsea, as opposed to other clubs, a good proposition as you got all your money in one go) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After spending in excess of half a billion on players with more to come this transfer window, you would expect the club might be able to skip buying any players next January especially when you take into account the number of games the team will play.

Considering what I said had literally nothing to do with buying players at all, I'm not particularly sure why this is being discussed in the first place. I was referencing the future of Chalobah. Specifically regarding keeping him around for the first half of the season, then come January if he's not getting games because Thiago Silva, Fofana, and Reece James are managing to stay readily available we can either sell or loan him out at that point. Should he wish to be playing more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why target another academy player? if you look at those who you names they all played less than 20 games in the PL last season due to injuries, therefore Chalobah will more than likely get plenty of minutes.

Popular Post Floyd25 Posted July 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2023 Fofana’s knee problems, Badiashile’s history with hamstring issues and Thiago Silva’s age suggests to me that keeping Chalobah right now would be a sensible thing to do, selling him now could come back to bite us. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy shit, this literally has nothing to do with "targeting another academy player". Go read the actual conversation that was taking place between those involved before trying to create some weird narrative to pick at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Door, If Juve are interested in the salad-dodger surely that is the trigger to do a deal for Vlahovic. IMO Vlahovic seems a Poch type striker.

I know nothing of Mr Vlahovic but as far as I’m concerned the sooner Mr Fatty Boom Boom is out of our club the better - and I don’t really care how.
