Not necessarily starting every game, no. Their depth is becoming too vast. Edited June 19 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon1892 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 It’ll be interesting to see what happens this transfer window with our defenders. We currently have 12 defenders on our books and 6 of those defenders only have one year left on their contract. Those are: Trippier- sell if an offer comes in? Schar- offer a year extension? Lascelles- release after this season? Krafth- try and sell now? Burn- offer a year extension Lewis- try and loan/ sell With defenders with longer deals that leaves: Ashby Livramento Botman Kelly Targett Hall Ashby is untested at premier league level and Targett is probably unwanted. After this season that would leave: Livramento Botman Kelly Hall Burn Schar Meaning we need to sign 2 or 3 new defenders either this season or next. It’ll be interesting to see how many get purchased this window in comparison to next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

janpawel Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Isn't Palmer at his best at RW? Would Olise want to be on the bench? Unless they move Palmer in the middle as a 10, but having Caicedo and Fernandez behind him would get played through so easily imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobsonsWonderland Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Am I jealous of how easy Chelsea seem to find ways to buy players ... Yes. But that's balanced with the fact there seems to be no plan in place about who they buy, just they can buy. A bit like me playing Monopoly where I just buy the first things I land on because I've no idea what the hell I'm doing but I know it pisses everyone else off.

BennyBlanco Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 You have to question the sporting integrity of any player that moves to Chelsea at this stage. The club is a shitshow. Run by utter buffoons, managed by someone different every season and the expectations of the fans are ridiculous. Any of them who say they are relishing the challenge or whatever other platitudes they spew when signing are lying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is harsh, ultimately Chelsea are investing more than clubs around them paying higher salaries and have been successful over the last 20 years. We all love to laugh at them but they have a lot of talented players who will improve under the right guidance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably they’ll be able to chuck more money at it again this season. Hardly unreasonable to hold the view that they’ll be back in the CL again after this coming season.

LRD Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 It's their business model hovering up the top talents/ assets. They can do this since they have a top academy producing decent players that they can sell for pure profit plus the reset from the Roman era. If FFP continues to be in place and for us to reach the same level, it is imperative that we develop a top-notch academy ourselves in addition to being regular European participants. I still dislike them anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Chelsea have just chucked away a seasoned manager that showed excellent form for half a season for... Enzo Maresca. He's a totally unproven gamble they've employed to not push back on transfer choices. It shows that they're still running at least a portion of a clown show. Olise showed last summer he takes his career seriously, I think he'd want more assurances of the stability of the project. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 To be honest, I wouldn't be completely shocked if the kid backs himself, signs the new contract for another season at Palace in hopes of a CL team being in for him next Summer. The presence of another release clause means, assuming he has another strong season, he will have plenty sides in for him next Summer as well.

Checko Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 I reckon Olise might stay at Palace another year if a Champions League club doesn't come in for him (obviously there's Bayern, but not sure that's his dream move). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
