ROTG Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 25 minutes ago, KingThistle said: Hmmm, I take the point to a degree but struggle to stretch being able to say any of them succeeded in proving themselves by going on to be first team regulars. And at their new clubs they've not particularly set the world alight. Only Guehi and Tomori stand out from those days as being regrettable academy sales while Abraham, Christensen, Hudson-Odoi, RLC and Anjorin have depreciated - remarkably so in a couple of those cases - perhaps proving that the sale was likely right at the time . If it's only 2 'mistakes' from 7, I find it hard to criticise the club's decisions. Was thinking more about 19/20 season with Mount, James, Guehi, Tomori, Abraham all stepping up help the team reach the top 4 and everyone knows what reward came the clubs way the following season. Now the academy is for balancing the books 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the academy is for balancing the books You've got to be glad Abraham and Mount have gone considering the drop-off? Sentiment doesn't win you titles and trophies - unfortunately, but clearly demonstrable. This ownership are now all in with their model and it has to yield something tangible in the next season or two. And if it does - with little to no academy product as a key component - none of us will care a hoot. We're that fickle, us fans 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But….it might finally convince sterling that he’s not going to play, or stop Mudryk from stinking out the joint so often. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd25 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) One thing I’ll say on Osimhen is, he’s the type of player we need, but if he’s that motivated by money then I’m not assed…if he joins great, if he doesn’t who cares, go and play in a league that has all the money and zero prestige.

My Blood Is Blue Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 Last seasons AM/Wingers: Sterling, Madueke, Mudryk, Palmer and an injured Nkunku, Potentially this seasons AM/Wingers: Madueke, Mudryk, Palmer, Neto, Felix, Sancho and a (hopefully) fit Nkunku. Thats an upgrade, whatever anyone says. Still really need a striker though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Singleton Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) Ivan Toney passing his medical puts him one step closer to joining Al-Ahli Puts pressure on Napoli, who can't afford NOT to sell Osimhen given the arrival of Lukaku, which puts us in a slightly better position.

Only concern is the two upgrades if sancho comes in, is why two team in the CL did keep one and take up the option to buy for the other. Also a lot of Primadonna’s for the coach to keep happy.

blueboy1905 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 So just to confirm. With three hours to go until the window closes and with Broja off to Ipswich the fate of our season rests on a 18 year old from Barcelona as an out and out Number 9. I don't class Jackson, Nkunku and the gaggle of false Number 9's as the spearhead of our attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguelito07 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 announcing two weeks before the transfer window closes that Sterling and Chilwell were no longer available for chelsea was / is a stupid decision. The announcement should have happened at the beginning of the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
