Hanshithispantz Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) Surely people are wise to the fact judging players for Chelsea is next to pointless by now? Edited August 14, 2023 by Hanshithispantz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 5 hours ago, Cronky said: But yes, at the top end, there are going to be some spectacular mistakes. Darwin Nunez is one, I think. Nunez had the second best non-penalty xG+xA per 90 in the league last season, 1.06. Haaland at the top had 1.07. Nunez has massive potential if he starts to finish his chances and it appears to be a mental problem for him at Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 He's so short though. How can a player as short as Cucarella ever play at LB. It seems so awkward and just wrong. Left backs need to be atleast 6ft4 or it becomes a disadvantage for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Cucarella was my top target at LB after the takeover like, he was class at Brighton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 All 3 players being mentioned would be fine by me. Probably a slight preference for Tierney. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Cucarella seems like a non-starter unless he's taking a pay cut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghandis Flip-Flop Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I think Hall would be ideal if we could get it done, the lad looks to be quality already and still has room to grow with the team. But I can’t see Chelsea letting him go and certainly not at that price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally think that £30m is on the low side, but he’s 18, with 12 senior games under his belt and although he has a few years left to go on his current contract, it seems like he might not sign a new deal.

Scotty66 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Lewis Hall and that would top off a pretty fantastic transfer window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big River Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Hall seems like a Howe type player/signing. might as well get him out of Chelsea and save his career. he’ll have him starting for England within a year or two! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Couldn't understand the money spent on Cucarella when he left Brighton and I've not seen him have a good game since, always seems to make mistakes. Hope we avoid despite Eddie's ability to turn water into wine. Tierney or Hall I'd be pleased with - very different in terms of experience vs potential but trust the decision either way. Get one in and it's been a superb window, just need to clear off the bomb squad before it shuts any which way we can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly have no idea any more, I mean Bayern have just paid over £100M for a guy with one year left, Likewise Caicedo going for that fee after a year of looking decent. Fee's are utterly nuts and Chelsea seem to manage to rinse everyone for their academy products ??♂️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Just remembered Leicester have that young left back that looked very promising too, Luke Thomas, wonder if he's been considered as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Hall is the way to go if we can get him. Would love that. Really any of the 3 would be fine. Cucurella was immense at Brighton. I found a bunch of stats a few weeks ago when we were linked that put him something like the best LB in the league stats wise. I totally trust Howe to turn him around if he ended up here.

Matt1892 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Chelsea also have Ian Maatsen who is potentially ahead of Lewis Hall too at left back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghandis Flip-Flop Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I mean they have Malo, Cucurella and Chilwell so it’s not like they’re short at left back, and as others have said Maatsen can play there too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
