We had and continue to have a bunch of players who aren't trusted by the manager to play and perform. We had 2 bodies for each position yes but how many were actually viable?

Miley will have a class season, as will Osula (on the right). Concerned about up top, in defence and I do think we need an AM

This isn't true in anyway at all. How were we short ? We literally had 2 players in each position. Injuries is what hurt us. Not being short. We had 3 rbs 5 cbs 2 lbs 2 rws 2 lws 7 cms and 2 fws. Not to mention the keepers. How was that short?

I’ve got full belief in Miley, personally, but I do see your point. Willock and Longstaff are decent 5th/6th choices with our current constraints, but if we could upgrade this summer without impacting other moves then I’m sure we would.

In my sweat drenched thoughts last night night, I wondered if we're low balling for some of these players to flush out the competition. Once they bite and sign the players we ‘look’ like we’re after, they hopefully have less inclination to bid against us for the players we actually mean to sign.

I don't know why no perfectly viable sponsorship avenues aren't being expoited neither do you. that's what makes it a topic of conversation. I don't know if there's life on another planet or not, hasn't stopped scientists discussing it for centuries. Maybe you should tell them they're not allowed?

I don’t think Willock, Longstaff and Miley will cut it at CL level. Miley has the potential to in the future (and maybe that will be this season but he didn’t show it last season). I think if we don’t sign a CM will be in trouble. Most important part of the pitch and we have 3 starters and that’s it. Our shape and ability to affect the game drop off massively if any of those 3 miss a match. If we could sell Willock and Longstaff and buy a player who could genuinely compete with B, T and JL we’d be so much stronger for it.

I can't see Elanga coming tbh, think we'll fall short of their valuation and go abroad for someone just as good, if not better. There's loads of players out there, we don't need to panic.

..or just yewtyoob 'journalists'.

We need more than 3, but can anyone seriously see that happening? At this point i see Trafford, Elanga and a CB signing, that would come to circa 120 million. Howe doesn’t like huge upheaval in a transfer window and don’t think we have the finances, or people in place to navigate big wheeling and dealing this summer.

Come on then, tell me what sponsorships have or have not been tabled? Tell me why PIF have not added further sponsorship also? Keeper in the bag a year ago? Another one who listens to bullshit reports. If he was in the bag, then why wasn't he signed a year ago then? As I thought agenda driven because a signing hasn't been made yet

Mudryk man going to still have years left on his deal when his FOUR YEAR ban finishes. That sort of deal would ruin us, for Chelsea, barely a bump in the road.

Five of our defenders are in their 30s too. We’re going to need numbers at some point, not fucking around for months looking for the perfect one.

This might be pushing it, though. I could live without the FB and the CM is ‘nice to have’ if we find someone to take Longstaff or Willock.

Chelsea only have - Cole Palmer Christopher Nkunku Kendry Páez Tyrique George Mykhaylo Mudryk Pedro Neto Noni Madueke Raheem Sterling João Félix Nicolas Jackson Liam Delap Armando Broja Marc Guiu David Datro Fofana Seems a bit light to me

It isn't a discussion based on fuck all though is it? It's a discussion based on untapped income resources at a time when we're haggling over a couple of million quid for a goalkeeper we apparently had in the bag a year ago. Seems a reasonable thing to discuss, with your permission of course.

GK CB RW CF Then a CM and versatile FB

Are Arsenal purposefully signing all the players they need except a striker?

Would be an act of self sabotage, We've literally gone into a champions league campaign short before, we know how it ends

There’s no way three signings is enough, mind.

I'm very much not ITK about transfer dealings but I understand why Newcastle are taking it slow this summer. Chelsea are just gazumping everyone. When they're exhausted maybe Arsenal will then assume the role of Gazumper to protect Cartel interests.

If you want to continue discussion based on absolutely fuck all, then you go ahead.

How did you get allocated the role of when it's acceptable to voice a concern?

They should have opened it up to members as soon as the extra 2k allocation was confirmed. They get absolutely nowt for their 50 quid a year apart from a lottery ticket giving them a small chance of getting a ticket for a home match, loads didn't even get a sniff of 1 ticket last season. Talk of at least making the membership fee feel like slight value for money, allowing members the chance to buy a ticket for an away friendly with a 10,000 allocation is surely an easy win.
