Cicero 5,267 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Word for today, is thrust. Armando Broja and Levi Colwill will be given the chance to force their way into Thomas Tuchel's thoughts, while Conor Gallagher will be immediately thrust into the first-team squad after his outstanding season at Crystal Palace. - @jamesalanrobson — Simon Phillips (@siphillipssport) May 19, 2022 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We certainly have had a hard season as Cicero says off the pitch issues with sanctions, Tuchel's divorce and long injuries with both WBs out at times. This is also close to Lampard not being able to spend one season and also playing more games than anyone else this season though think Liverpool will match our games total in the Champions League final.

Cicero 5,267 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Injuries, sanctions, Tuchel's divorce, and Lukaku interview all surely played a part but the biggest issue is tactics and personnel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander 166 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 TBH on balance think we have done in consideration of all the factors. We have been saying on other forums for about 3 years we needed a squad rebuild now we might get one though not as we intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The members of the Consortium purchasing the club are affiliates of the Clearlake Capital Group, L.P., Todd Boehly, Hansjorg Wyss and Mark Walter.

I guess the good thing about a takeover is that the new owners are not going to be as hesitant about taking a loss on some players as they can write it off as a mistake by the previous ownership. As a neutral it looked like Werner, Havertz and Mount played some decent football together around the time of the FA Cup semi to suggest they should be Tuchel's go to men as a front three at the start of next season.

Virtually no way we go into next season with the same attackers. Expecting at least 1-2 additions. Sterling, Dembele, and Nkunku being reported as options.

Yeah but on a free he's worth a risk. We aren't going to splash a whole lot of money on a single player all things considered so with Sterling on his last year at City and Dembele on a free, its good business. Particularly if we sell off Pulisic/Ziyech and Werner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea FC will now work with the relevant Governments to secure the necessary licences to complete the takeover. All done now finally.... The government has approved the £4.25bn takeover of Chelsea by a consortium led by LA Dodgers co-owner Todd Boehly. The London club was put up for sale in March before owner Roman Abramovich was sanctioned over his links to Russian president Vladimir Putin. On Tuesday, the Premier League said the consortium had passed its owners' and directors' test. Chelsea have been operating under a special government licence which expires on 31 May. "Late last night the UK government reached a position where we could issue a licence that permits the sale of Chelsea," a government spokesperson said in a statement on Wednesday.
