No European competition so many less games, more new signings, squad gelling some more and a proper coaching setup with a real plan, it's hard to see them outside the top 4-6 with that squad plus whatever they add to it i.e. an actual striker who can hit 20+ goals. I'd love them to become a mid table irrelevance again, just hard to see it. No question my comment could look idiotic in a year. With the right manager and a couple changes it wouldn't be that shocking to see them near the top of the table. But I do think they are in a precarious position.

maze Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 I think they will bounce back, as will Liverpool. We need more of that sweet sweet Bruno-quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 I haven’t heard of him. Which bodes well, because I hadn’t heard of Bruno and now he is my favourite player, with Isak in close second. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I deserve it I'm not that high on him personally, dont know if its because big Sven was so ideal last year my sights are set to high but when Ive watched Ugarte for them he hasn't massively impressed me. Not that keen on Schuurs from Torino either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next season is absolutely critical for them. A couple years out of the CL could do a number on their financial status and the perception of them as one of England and Europe's elites. It's entirely possible the Abramovich Era section on their Wikipedia page stands out decades from now as the golden years of the club. Hopefully 2023-2043 only merits a couple paragraphs, the same as 1983-2003. (I'm partially writing this to will it into existence) As long as Todd Boehly is calling the shots, they have a real chance at remaining mid table for years to come. He just keeps making mistakes and digging the hole deeper. The dressing room incident is just the latest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackflap Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Think Mount will go to Liverpool but for 40-50m, there'll be no bidding war, Mount will have his preferred destination and the two clubs will agree a fee acceptable to both. Similar to how they got Thiago. No doubt Liverpool have done a good bit of work behind the scenes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 I think Mount wants money, and he’ll find that no one will offer him more than Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Amadou Haidara's name has popped up again as a player we will be looking to sign. Was linked very heavily after the takeover and probably would have been signed in the summer had he not got injured towards the end of last season. Interestingly enough Brighton were looking to sign him in January as a replacement for Caicedo if he had left. And so that is a really good sign too.

Every time I’ve seen him he looks to be all over the pitch almost like Kante. Think if we are going to spend big I’d rather it be on a 6 but think he’d be a great fit as a Longstaff upgrade Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
