Transfer targets (5 Viewers)

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

We have signed another midfielder since the Leicester game, add the fact that Latibeaudiere can and probably will move into DM when Kitching or Binks take the LCB role. We have two extra players in there.

Not sure Ayari has been signed to play alongside Sheaf, Robins seemed to suggest he was going to be competing with Allen, O'Hare, Palmer for the attacking midfield role.

Latibeaudiere playing there feels like a temporary fix and not sure it's his best position either.

If Ayari or Lat can play the position at a high level then great, but Robins seems to think it isn't their best position for either player from what we've seen so far.

EVEN Sunderland have signed 2 strikers today, why are we so piss poor at getting things done

 

[hill83]

Is there still a loan window outside of the transfer window? I’m sure it was scrapped but I’m not 100% sure.

No

 

[ccfc1234]

Didnt they turn down 60-70m from Bayern/German team 2-3 year ago ?! Frightening

40m I think. Chelsea are largely incoherent with their transfers.

Go and have a pint mate

Will do

 

[fernandopartridge]

Talk about clueless

It isn't a hole is it? As in an entire gap in the squad based on the formation we play? Yes we're missing some of Hamer's capability but hole is an exaggeration

He tore his achilles and it ruined him. Bad luck really.

What like doing most of our business early ?

 

[Pusb1]

Cheaper than Kitching

he is an absolute flop who was hyped as a talent but has done precisely nothing of any note as a professional footballer.

Few times i watched Chelsea he looked Sunday League.

he's only made it through this far based on hype alone

We've already signed 2 strikers

I think he was joking

The only annoyance would have been if the 2 strikers were Wright & Simms.

Knowing this one he’s not

 

[skybluecam]

Ok, let me rephrase this question now the whole forum has descended into arguing over heat maps.

Who in the team other than the strikers is going to contribute a significant amount of goals? As I said previously, unless there is some significant improvement, we have overall a pretty goal shy team statistically.

We lost Gyokeres and Hamer - who carried the, ahem, burden, of scoring and assisting. 32 goals and 22 assists between them. Another ten goals came from a combination of Godden, Walker, Waghorn. Whilst we have got new strikers in which in theory should between them replicate the total strikers contributions from last season, everywhere else in the pitch is light as fuck (unless there is a major improvement). I fail to see how people cannot see this.

You forgotten that we broke our club record fee signing a striker? And spent another £3.5m on another.

 

[covmark]

I think he was joking

Hahaha I'm not so sure mate

 

[SBT]

Oh come on. He plainly was. He was the one consistently linking up with Gyokeres, and hence why he chipped in with a few more goals than he previously was capable of getting.

I think we need to discuss the concept of running

He has a Champions League winners medal…

What are you rattling on about now.
Surely you can't deny he was pushed further forward towards the end of the season?

 

[covcity4life]

Eh he's seen him a few times ok?!

 

[skybluecam]

The point is he wasn't playing the role that people are talking about us needing a replacement in.

It still blows my mind that he started for England before he'd even started a league match for Chelsea - he'd only ever come off the bench before his international debut.

[robbiethemole]

My attempt at doing an @Greggs failed miserably. Sorry lads

 

[robbiethemole]

Anyway, who’s going to Ryton to switch the lights on?

 

[skybluecam]

Rhian Brewster has a champions league medal

 

[Pusb1]

Rhian Brewster has a champions league medal

he also didn't play

he has as much of a winners medal as Billy Gilmour

 

[David O'Day]

I think we need to discuss the concept of running

I do think we also need to introduce you to the concept of "specsavers"

 

[Evo1883]

Robins gets his man

 

[Finham]

Didn't know that one! Didn't he play for us and other clubs for a fair while though?

He couldn't really run anymore though.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Rhian Brewster has a champions league medal

He didn’t play a minute, clubs get a certain amount of medals and allocate them as they see fit

 

[Evo1883]

If we could somehow wangle swift then I'd officially be over the moon with our business

Yep, I'm the same. Would be a superb window.

A few on here could do with a swift wangle, to reduce their stress levels.

Well I was one yesterday to be fair

Still has one though.

CHO didn't appear after the RO16 and only scored against Krasnodar and Rennes.
