I think you're expectations were too high. Out of those 7, i'd have expected none or one to have made our first team by now, and i'd expect 1 of them to eventually make it. 99% of youth at PL clubs don't break into the first team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted January 9, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 9, 2023 Chelsea have a few fullbacks now. Any that are any good? Will Chilwell get a game with Cucu....whatever his name is now in place (I know he's rubbish but with that kind of fee outlay they will be forced to play him often).

danceoftheshamen Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Regards this Felix fella.....I am actually quite relieved we didn't end up spunking a fortune on a player who has failed to live up to the hype in a slower, easier League & who clearly didn't want to come here anyhow! Suits Chelsea to a tee! I think we should coin a new phrase "The Glory Hunter Player" the same type as a Glory Hunter fan who sees nothing but the media hype and nobody else counts in their head. The net result is a "Chelsea" full of overhyped & underperforming "names" (With the exception of one or two of course). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Mckennie seems to be a DM , and a bit of a jack of all trades guess we could line him up in a 3 with Luiz and Kamara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They paid £56m+£7m add ons for Cucurella. Cash is only a 12 months older than him and signed a five year extension back in April. So match that at least if you want him Chelsea. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw in Pau Torres as well and Emery can really put his stamp on this team. Not sold on McKennie and I don’t really know anything about the other two.

RicRic Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 As far as targets go just seen that Pedro Porro (Sporting) is linked heavily with spurs and Moussa Diaby with Newcastle which would infuriate me greatly, those are two game changer additions to our squad and seeing them for others especially rival teams never sits well, as u say you cant have em all but give us a couple 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaHatesMe Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Does the Felix signing make Pulisic more available? Let's sign McKennie and Pulisic. I've always said the way to winning titles is signing Americans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We paid £14m for Cash and you're happy with £26m profit and get bummed by Chelsea, whilst Brighton paid £15m for Cucurella and and fleeced £41m+7m off them for him?! That's like saying you'd accept £46m for Dibu?! We need to start being like Brighton in holding out for proper profit on players who have only just signed big contracts. F**k Chelsea. Boehly is like a kid in a candy shop. Match the Cucurella fee AT LEAST or do one!* *Incidentally, I think neither player is worth what they paid for Cucurella. But that's set the bar now so match it.

MWARLEY2 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 £18 million cost for Joao Felix for 4 months in reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Cash’s stock isn’t as high as it was say 12 months ago, and he didn’t exactly showcase himself at the WC. No club is going to offer anywhere close to £50m let alone £60m. Let’s be realistic about his worth. Especially as we have a hard time selling players for profit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
