I see four possible destinations; back to Barca (if they can afford him), some middle-eastern club (like Ronaldo), his "home" club of Newells in Argentina, and the left-field option of Inter Miami.

FrankLampard8 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) I think the fees involved will be prohibitive but I truly believe Caicedo is a phenom and can have a Kante type impact here if signed. I think Rice's character and leadership is more important to our team right now but Caicedo is technically an unbelievable footballer.

Miguelito07 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) Not sure about this. We would be left with 3 CDs, and two of those a frequently injured (KK and WF), and Silva isnt going to play every game. Having said that, we are not Europe 😞 Oh, forgot about Colwill Edited June 1, 2023 by Miguelito07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall when I saw the post initially there was a comment about it being Tony Mount and the old man certainly looks like him in every way.

Holymoly Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 2 hours ago, ChelseaJambo said: Not too fussed about Mount leaving but when added in to Kovacic and those who've left recently it is a concern when taken as a collective. Can't really blame any of them though, I think post-RA and TT I'd have been out the door too in their position. Mate there will be a lot more going too. Pochettino is keen on his 4-2-3-1 so there really isn't any need for the dozen or so midfielders we currently have. As has been mentioned before the current squad is rotten like an old tree. We are going to have to strip it back to the bare minimum and build it back up with untainted individuals who also hopefully have more than a little moral fortitude.

Proud-Blue Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) Hmm... not entirely sure how I feel about this. If it WAS to work, I feel Colwill and Badiashile would be an exceptional partnership Edited June 1, 2023 by Proud-Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we've had right footed CB's playing together in the past, as have majority of teams ever. Why wouldn't this work? Realistically you need to be solid with both feet.

Blue Orca Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 2 hours ago, ROTG said: August would be a better time to compare squad. Also the Arse will be playing 2-3 games per week in the PL and CL which none I’ve the above apart from Jorghi has any experience. So I can’t see that combination being a real threat to any of the top teams next season. Did you watch the Arsenal midfield this year? The replacement of Xhaka with Rice will be a huge upgrade and we are about 3 midfielders light of getting anywhere near that 5. Plus they are also looking at Caicedo and with CL football may get him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kelly Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 If I was Chelsea and Inter offered me £25m for Chalobah I'd tell them to save it and add extra and finally buy Lukaku off us seeing as they keep pleading poverty. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Trev. Decent player. Not everyone can be triple-A but he’s certainly good enough imo. Definitely want Lukaku to get lost and take his XXXXXL shorts with him. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original 21 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Just a thought regarding Caicedo. I think we might be playing it smart because if Rice goes to Arsenal as reported, Mount goes to Man United, Macallister to Liverpool, Gallagher maybe to Newcastle, and Kovacic to Man City, it closes down the opportunities for these clubs to move for Caicedo. Firstly because of the big fee involved. And secondly because of places available in their squads. Only we are really in need of two midfield players. Other clubs will likely settle for one. By selling Mount to Man United we are effectively stopping them going for Caicedo. As I said, just a thought… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeping Dave Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 10 hours ago, ShedMiddle said: We have to look at the fact we are losing a pool of talent Kovacic, Mount, Kante, Rudiger, Christensen, Jorginho and more recently Felix. Can we honestly say we have replaced with greater quality? Definitely not at this point. And the fact was we were not competing for the title with those players! Off the back of the champions league win we were a few tweaks away! That now seems a million miles away. Maybe we can build a team now and not a collection of individuals who don’t know how to form a cohesive unit? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
