Like a post from us after we beat Brighton I think

Speaking of vibes, I still have a feeling we won't go in for Maddison. No idea about Szoboszlai.

[Cronky]

I really like the look of Szoboszlai. I think he'd fit in seamlessly with our current style of play. Make it happen, guys.

As LFEE pointed out too, he's a big athletic lad, so he'd probably be able to slot in as an eight or out wide for us. He definitely fits the bill in that regard.

We had the meanest defence in the league, don’t think we need a player who’s sole role is to just sit in. Much prefer a midfield three who cover all over the place, doing and sharing the workload. Plus, Bruno has to be the centre point of that three for me.

We then didn’t keep a clean sheet for around 17 games ? All our midfielders are attack minded, just think we would benefit from someone more defensive in there. Pretty much every successful club plays with one.
 

Think it would also help with our lack of pace at the back, and allow us to have a more attacking left back pushing up with tripper pushing up on the right.

If FFP is a real thing then Chelsea shouldn't have a penny to spend this Summer with no CL football.

All they have to do is sell 1-2 home grown players for £80m to balance the books for this years FFP 

I'm hoping everyone takes advantage of Chelsea since they are obviously desperate. Big losses for Pulisic and Havertz on the way.

The sort of goal Joelinton should score 12-15 a season being harsh.

We didn’t keep clean sheets, but apart from the Aston Villa game, we weren’t shipping goals in either. Was mainly just the solitary goal.

 

I’d say we looked pretty successful last year not playing with one. For me it’s just too much of a disciplined/limited roll. Eddie has the players each doing so much more than one solitary focused job. Love watching our midfield all over the place doing what they do, it’s a joy to behold. For me, hopefully we sign more midfielders in that style. Strong, physical, energetic skilful players who can get up and down.

Also taking a player out of the midfield three to “just sit” is taking a player out of our insane press.

I wouldn't be opposed to it, just I think we'll go for another all-rounder.

[The Prophet]

There's definetly merit in having a number six, most clubs competing for serious honours play with one.

Yep totally agree.

We have been quite unique this season in our style of play, you don’t see many teams playing our way. Wouldn’t surprise me to see other teams jumping on the band wagon and trying it, forfeiting a dedicated holding midfielder.

We don’t necessarily need an out-and-out destroyer style dm but someone with a bit of strength, physically and who can win the ball back in midfield would really help the balance imo.
 

In saying that, it’d also be nice to have another player (other than Bruno) with a bit of vision and passing ability. In an ideal world we’d get a player who can do both.

Pulisic... not only is he injury prone but he seems to have gotten shit too unfortunately, see pic.

 

Havertz could definintely be rehabilitated and "Howed" into something special, he's been mismanaged for a while and he's still young.

Honest question - who is making all of these signings for Chelsea? What's the procedure for targeting/scouting/negotiating all of these players every window? How much input does the boss actually have and is Poch calling the shots as he's rebuilding 'his' squad? It's about as disorganised and random as you can get, there's no pattern whatsoever, it's like a 9 year old playing monopoly for the first time, just buying fucking everything they land on. It's embarrassing in it's lack of thought and strategy. 

 

It doesn't seem to matter though does it? The game is rigged in their favour, if they failed to spend their way to success in the last couple of seasons, they can just keep hoovering up the best players and trust it will stick. Not sure it works like that in reality though, a club needs to have an identity, and I'm fucked if I know what Chelsea's is.
