@CM___365@MrNeu_@MrDtAFC I think neither of them would represent any sort of an upgrade. At this point better to take a punt on some cheaper explosive player. Raw but good potential. Sub 40m would be better. Save the money for elite player.
@adamkeys_ Problem is he's a bit too passive at LW. I remember he played at LW few times last season. And judging by Arteta's reaction to his defensive work, I'm not too sure how much he likes him there. I think we are getting a LW/CF (capable of playing at LW). Could yet be underwhelming.
@LiquidAy It means teams haven't figured out Chelsea tactics and conceding a lot. And also means they haven't figured out Chelsea tactics and yet they are scoring a lot against them. Only one thing can improve drastically from here. And Chelsea fans won't like that.
@CM___365@MrNeu_@MrDtAFC That's true. One name we were linked with earlier was Osimhen. Not sure how realistic that is. Schade feels like a more realistic one. But underwhelming. Only other one I can see is Nico Williams.
@MrNeu_@MrDtAFC No one said anything about Jesus already negotiating with Barca. All we know was that was on the shortlist. So maybe there's just something brewing that's been kept quiet. I think something will happen. Big or small. But something will.
@MrDtAFC I keep saying this. It feels like the club either had some sort of deadline before they pulled the plug on this. Or we were waiting for a greenlight on a certain transfer before going forward with these departures. I hope there's some good deadline day surprise in store.
@ltarsenal I don't think so. I think he made a good choice in the end. The position he's operating in is tailor made to suit his style. We wouldn't have been able to give him that. Rice,MLS, EZE all 3 primarily operate there. And idk how effective he would have been as a touchline LW.
The wording on Martinelli here we go from Fabrizio. "He just had authorization to travel for medical" makes it seem like we were waiting for some sort of a confirmation on a target. So let's hope it's something good.

@ahmladasnr@omotohblack@andrewwolfe66@NealGardner_ Yeah naming 2 teams where all the talent is saturated and saying those two teams are better is not a flex you thought it was.
That in fact is another reason why Spanish teams do well. They have the liberty to rotate as much as they like. Because othe teams are not that great.
@LilywhitesSpur@usmvnv@afcjxmes How many defenders are injured for long term? Even then why does that matter?. We have 8. With Saliba and Timber been out for a while. So we are left with 6. Yet your fan base claiming we are stockpiling defenders?. And yet you guys have 10 defenders.
@eduthenirvana@afcjxmes Still they have Savio, Kudus, Kulu, Odebert, Tel, Simmons, Maddison, Solanke, Marmoush, and now Ndiaye. All of these players competing for 4 positions. I thought we had excessive numbers with Merino playing as a floater. But even with him our number reaches 9.
@afcjxmes 25 players for 10 outfield positions. Idk what are they smoking over there.
On an any given match day. 7 of those don't even make the match day squad.
