What's new

Marc Guiu

He looks nowhere near the level either from what I've seen. Sadly, that's the state of the club now. Just an endless procession of young players who aren't good enough, but who might turn a profit one day.

We've put a fair bit of money into Emegha and he seems to be doing well, the only game I've actually seen him in though is the Palace game where he played well. I like Delap and I wanna give him time but by the sounds of it he has a dislocated shoulder which could be a couple of months out, then he's gotta get back up to speed etc. Having Guiu as a back up to Joao Pedro is just a shocker of a situation, the lad needs a championship loan.

 
Well had his chance today so he’s our answer

Who said he was our answer? We’ve got three or four options up front: Delap, JP, Neto and Guiu. Of those, I think that Guiu is the best option because he’s got a brain and puts the effort in, unlike Delap who was already flirting with getting a yellow, JP who doesn’t want to be playing judging by his effort, Neto may work against teams with a high line, which are not that many. Who do you think of those options are the answer?

 
Guiu can't take any heat for today. He did what he could on the scraps he was fed!

It's no help when we make decent build-up play towards their box, for it to slow down and go back through to Sanchez again. It is completely anti-attacking football!

He just isn’t good enough. A guy that has only hit double digits once in his career is sadly not going to move the needle.

Something fans seem to be neglecting is the usual board briefing around this time of the year. They have said the aim for this season is Top 4, and they are happy with the current state of the squad. Even if hypothetically you wanted to bring in Emegha, UEFA squad rules as per our sanctions means someone would have leave. Unless you can move Guiu back to Sunderland on loan, that would mean selling a Tyrique George.

How many first team seasons do you think hes had? This is his 1st proper first team season, so just how can you judge him on a lack of double digit seasons?

Mate, he’s 19 and this is his first season at top flight. Is he the CF that we need? No. But neither are the other options we’ve got. At this time and under the present circumstances, I’m happy with having Guiu start a few games and have Delap on the bench, until he calms down a bit (he was looking for a yellow yesterday making stupid fouls on Bournemouth players after the ball was off!). I don’t even want to discuss Joao Pedro as he’s a lazy twat not willing to run for the team or supporters.

Pretty sure he was talking about Emegha, not Guiu !

 
If Mheuka is not an option then we either have to give Guiu the chance to sink or swim by starting him in all our december games OR go with Neto up front.

The only thing I can stand less from this lot than their annual collapse in December is being lazy and not trying while they do it.

Both Guiu and neto put in shifts, Joao Pedro does not.

Ok, fair enough. I thought that he was talking about Guiu. I can’t comentario on Emegha, never seen him play.

 
We can try all of these options, but regardless of age, regardless of effort, none of these strikers that we currently have and those due to arrive are not good enough.

This is true to an extent, but the truth is that no striker bar Haaland is going to score 20 league goals in a Maresca team. It is by design that strikers do not score goals. Maresca's entire design is predicated on the fantasy of having 'many sources of goals', that creating a volume of lower-quality chances is better than creating the right chance for the right person.

I have no idea how Guiu or Delap are meant to prove themselves in a system that purposely reduces them to a decoy.

Spot on. This will continue to play itself out in this way regardless of who is brought in.

 
He tries hard but honestly I don't see anything that gives me any hope.

I'd rather give Mheuka more chances.

Other clubs use youth players if they have to, we are only interested in protecting who we've paid money for.

Mheuka and Tyrique George (instead of Gittens) should be getting more minutes, their path is being blocked by purchases that haven't even worked out.

In Mheuka, Chelsea have a serious player on their hands.

His finishing is already top notch, while his penalty box movement, link-up play, physicality and aerial ability all point to one thing - Mheuka is the real deal.​
He regularly features in Chelsea first-team training sessions and it won't be long before his talents are on display in senior football.​

I'd like to see Mheuka given a chance with mostly 1st teamers on the pitch at the same time, Palmer, Neto, Caicedo etc..

Even if for 20 mins initially.

Under Maresca and Blue Co. we tend to give them 5 minutes at the end of a match, or a bit longer in dead rubbers, but with most of our better players not playing.

Then we don't see them again for ages.

Even giving him half the minutes Guiu gets would be a start for me.

He regulary scores for Chelsea and England youth teams so what not give him a real oppotunity once in a while.
