This has been holding us back just as much as PSR and competition from the big 6. Just been a toxic combo for the last few windows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just been a toxic combo for the last few windows. Agreed. PSR is shit but there’s nothing stopping us from being a bit more creative either income wise or transfer wise. It’s all a bit stale.  Obviously in the bigger picture we’re golden with the cup win and our league positions and so on. But it feels more in spite of the owners efforts and support than because of. I love Eddie but he’s just one man. And I’d much rather have him working within a framework and structure rather than being the sole puzzle piece. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted July 22, 2025 Share Posted July 22, 2025 So we’re probably not gonna sign a different keeper and finding CB’s and strikers is really hard. That’s the takeaway? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted July 22, 2025 Share Posted July 22, 2025 At least one thing remains consistent this summer, folk never fail to get riled by Chris Waugh's weekly transfer non-update. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

clintdempsey Posted July 22, 2025 Share Posted July 22, 2025 I wouldn’t say that I personally am particularly riled up by Chris Waugh. Or any other journalist for that matter.  I’m a tad miffed with our transfer window this far though and highly doubt (but would happily be proved wrong) that we’ll get in the signings we need to give the manager and squad a better chance at a good season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

janpawel Posted July 22, 2025 Share Posted July 22, 2025 Rate Chalobah, he'd be a starting CB for Chelsea if they weren't nuts. I'm sure he's been one of their best players since he came back from Palace  Also if the club are addicted to their long term targets.. Then Burn and Schar are so old, we will likely need another CB next year or so anyway  So could get Chalobah this summer + long term target next summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GallowgatePigeon Posted July 22, 2025 Share Posted July 22, 2025 Chalobah would make sense. For that reason, it won't happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted July 22, 2025 Share Posted July 22, 2025 Not sure what we were doing for a year if we are now struggling to find strikers and a CB. A whole year to plan for this window and this is the position we are in ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's a very minor point admittedly. But such a signing speaks of paired down ambition to me at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea if we were ever serious or if that level of fee when he only played 8 times last year is the issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 22, 2025 Share Posted July 22, 2025 (edited) Chalobah is good like.  Betting on Fofana seems mental though. Edited July 22, 2025 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
