Administrator Stan Posted August 3, 2022 Administrator Posted August 3, 2022 This transfer window is weird. Finally a player that Chelsea can't lose to Barcelona...
Redcanuck Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 Chelsea seems to be linked to just about everyone. New owners must think they are playing football manager.

Waylander Posted August 4, 2022 Posted August 4, 2022 I'm hoping this is just paper talk, can't see him working well as he plays off the shoulder and teams sit deep against us.

He’s an instinctive finisher. Which is what we need. We camp in the oppositions box like 75-80% of matches so we need someone like him. He at least has a first touch and close control which makes him better suited vs Lukaku.
Waylander Posted August 4, 2022 Posted August 4, 2022 I watched him a bit when Arteta took over at Arsenal. I just don't seem him being a success with us.

I mean I'm not entirely against it. Still think we need an instinctive finisher in the squad and Havertz ain't it and Broja still raw. His role at Arsenal was essentially Jesus' now. Drop deep and be involved in the build up. Not his game. We have Havertz for that (against top opposition) but in matches against sides where we will pack their end, we need someone like Aubameyang IMO. He can operate at LF or ST.

Looks like there new owners don't have a clue ..City bid £30 for that left back kid, must be good let's bid £50million ..think it will be you, us spurs and Arsenal for the top positions this season, Chelsea got a group of mercs together and united are a mess still

I think Chelsea will struggle for top four. Might just make it at the expense of Arsenal but it will be close I think.
Danny Posted August 4, 2022 Posted August 4, 2022 Auba clearly didn't want to play for Arsenal, I think he will flourish in England again if he is played to his preferred strengths rather than having to submit to the wider team goals. With players like Sterling, Havertz, CHO, etc in the team there is a lot there to feed Auba's instinctive finishing.
Rick Posted August 4, 2022 Posted August 4, 2022 This would be a good move for Chelsea. He’ll be clamouring for a move now Lewandowski has taken his job.

Spike Posted August 4, 2022 Posted August 4, 2022 Do Chelsea really buy more players than other teams? I’d like to see the numbers,
LFCMadLad Posted August 4, 2022 Posted August 4, 2022 7 minutes ago, Spike said: Do Chelsea really buy more players than other teams? I’d like to see the numbers, I've just googled it and they average loan out 755'000 players a season.

Spike Posted August 4, 2022 Posted August 4, 2022 According to tranfermarket and not counting loans and free transfers Since the 18/19 season Chelsea have bought 14 players (there was a transfer ban though) Arsenal have bought 25 players Man City have bought 21 players Liverpool have bought 15 players Leicester have bought 16 players Tottenhma have bought 16 players Man United have bought 16 players West Ham have bought 23 players Kinda interesting.

Lies. I was told by a neutral and reputable reporter with no agenda whatsoever the club bought over 155,000 players since 2019.

Some clubs, in this case West Ham and Arsenal are very aggressive when it comes to low risk, high reward transfers. A lot of their transfers were low fees for relatively unknown and young players. Then of course when you observe the fees involved, every single English club is throwing around absurd amounts of money, especially relative to 10 and then 20 years ago. It's shocking that the insane fee for Fernando Torres is the norm for clubs like West Ham.

OrangeKhrush Posted August 5, 2022 Posted August 5, 2022 Chelsea haven't blown me away. lots of paparazzi signings that could go balls up. high risk signings everywhere
