@Deetah71 'Acheampong not being outstanding' is the level he sets for Josh whilst constantly talking about that random CB VuΕ‘koviΔ Spurs sent on loan & advocating for Anselmino, don't bother with those people
During the beginning of the 25/26 season BlueCo soldiers were hate watching Ngumoha, even when he was on the bench mind you
At the end of the season...
π¨ EXCL: Bayern Munich exploring move to sign Rio Ngumoha. 17yo Liverpool winger primary #FCBayern target for left side & aware of pursuit. No contact yet between clubs. #LFC insist not for sale + plan to strengthen attack rather than weaken @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/mYbWdds6Ip
2024 BlueCo soldiers told you don't worry about missing out on the signing of Michael Olise 'we've got Estevao coming in 2025'
In 2026 Chelsea finished 10th and Olise is linked to a 150m to Real Madrid
But don't worry Chelsea fans!
So unless there is a CB out there the club cannot afford to miss out on, so much so that they are willing to sacrifice Josh in the process, there is no guarantee a CB signing will be made. If there is, then it would be with Xabiβ blessing once heβs had a chance to work with them.
I find it quite amusing because :
1Β° Bayern didn't move for a supposed world class German player despite having stripped Dortmund from Lewandowski, Hummels, GΓΆtze and even Niklas SΓΌle.
Only Reus escaped because he was a Borussia fan.
2026 reminder for Chelsea fans:
We don't need a CB, it is the only stable position funnily enough
Rectifying the horrifically assembled midfield and attack is the key to push the club forward, which they won't do,
enjoy Emegha.
Josh Acheampong + Xabi Alonso is an exciting combo
Wide Cb profile who can probe with the ball via carries & dynamic movement ~ athletic freak with the desired qualities to jump in the press and be that aggressor, while also covering depth well
If Xabi is going to work with Josh this season and give him good minutes, you only need one CB signing who can cover Colwillβs qualities + play across the backline ideally (RCB/CCB/LCB if needs be)
π¨ Josh Acheampong is appreciated by Manchester United, Manchester City and Bayern Munich. Considered untouchable and important part of Alonso's plans. (@JacobsBen) #CFC
