gbandit Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Seems like everyone has worked out Everton are a complete joke. The only thing that will save them is that there are some truly awful teams that will finish below them. Still think they’ll be in a relegation battle all season despite surviving Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

relámpago blanco Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 They should have went all out for Wilson from us. I reckon we'd have sold him for 30M and whilst I love him we could have replaced him but he'd be perfect for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Too risky to sell Wilson at this stage in the window. With him and Isak we have two guaranteed goal scorers up front. Anyone else we sign would likely be young and not guaranteed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to think that Todd Boehlys mission is to strangle Chelsea financially. The goal is to have a crappy team while not being able to buy players for years or get rid of existing players. On a more serious note, Boehly keep selling good players only to sign new unproven ones.. He must have a transfer addiction.

Viana Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 The issue I have with Todd Boehly is that he's a co-owner of the Dodgers. There's no way to know how involved he is in roster decisions or construction. I also believe running an American sports team is very different because the pool of coaches and players you can choose from is a lot smaller. With baseball especially it's a lot easier to apply statistics and quantify how good a player is. You just need look at some of Chelsea's recent signings - like Cucurella - as evidence that some players are made by the system they're in rather than natural ability.
