deeps Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Chelsea reportedly letting Barkley, Batshuayi and Zouma go. Big wages but wouldn’t mind any of these. All would improve us. I stand by the fact that Tammy is a non starter. Not happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is very good but some friends of mine were lauhging at the transfer fee saying Chelsea got done. Im not the greatest fan, he is very good but not elite for me. Misses too many chances especially in the big games He is also not liked so much in Germany because of his diving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted August 3, 2020 Moderator Share Posted August 3, 2020 22 minutes ago, KenjiOgiwara said: Just briefly looking at the data, it showed me 15 players defined as strikers had ever been bought in the PL for more than £ 40 million. Of those only 2 have gone outside the usual suspects. I read that list very fast, so might be some errors in there both ways, but £ 40 million is big big money for any player for teams outside the CL funds. I’m not getting into this again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously. I don't understand why people think Tammy is an option. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what you are getting with him, it removes an element of risk from the signing. Exactly. Nothing is risk free but he knows the club, the players , the area, the fans. Nice down to earth kid too He as about as plug & play as you could wish for. The ability to hit the ground running cannot be underestimated in this shortened pre-season . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope their Havertz move happens very soon so the chances increase. they might if they put a buyback in place for say £60m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skell Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 1 hour ago, Delphinho123 said: This is actually a very valid point. I don't think our defense is great, but it's nowhere near as bad as the stats suggest because I think we are being hit too often from positions we shouldn't be. Ask yourself this, how many times do we have the ball in a decent position around the box, only for all of a sudden to be defending on the edge of our own 18 yard box? A lot of these scenarios come about because our wide men or strikers seem to lose the ball when they shouldn't and we get countered. I think we're the only team in the league where I shit myself when our wingers have the ball! And on top of that we didnt have a quality central defensive midfielder to stop those attacks.

No reason to play 3 at the back and there are better players that Batshuayi. Smith will continue with 4 1 4 1 or 4 3 3 with 2 dynamic wingers 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbvilla909 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Tammy won't be leaving Chelsea, they have champions league football. Yes, he's not going to playing week in week out, but, if Werner isn't firing he will get a chance soon enough. We know the mainstream media haven't got a clue who we're after, the likes of Origi and Iheanacho are lazy links imo We had a prem plan as stated by Smith, I imagine that is already in full flow, bids would have been tabled and I reckon in the next week or so we will see the first through the door 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lower hanging fruit is that which is first /easiest to be picked not the crap left over after the best fruit has gone. It’s like comparing apples and origis 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcRigo82 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) Zouma would be a big improvement on Hause and I wouldn't say no to him arriving. No thanks from Barkley. He looks half the player he once was. Edited August 3, 2020 by AvfcRigo82 Tactical reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 When you look at the PL goal scorer list, only 6 players outside the Big 6 scored more than 10 goals. Therefore I feel goal ratios are not so important. We need to identify forwards that keep the opposition honest by helping control possession and being a menace in the attacking third. That's what our current front line struggles to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
