What's new

Summer Exodus. Should we do it?

Hanging our hats on Broja to lead the line with Havertz  ... and he's currently not scored for 11 PL games at Saints ...

He won't lead the line. Havertz and Broja as the STs is fine if they are accompanied by goal scoring wingers. 

 
We need clinical finishers. Or at least one. We have none and that's why Everton beat us last weekend.

If we end up being bought by Boely etc, then I'd expect at least one, maybe more, USA player signings ...

Amercians fans ... who have you got that's any good ? Does anyone like Fulham's Antonee Robinson as a left back option ?

We were apparently in for the Chicago Fire keeper before sanctions struck

Scottish football is supposed to be not very good, and German football supposed to be the dogs, and yet Rangers have now dispatched two of the top 5 in the Bundesliga to reach the Europa Final ! (Dortmund 2nd, Leipzig 5th).

Maybe we need to stop signing players from Germany and start looking closer to home north of the border !

Some spiritual successors to Charlie Cooke, Steve Clarke, Pat Nevin etc etc ...

Not so long ago every top team in England had a Scottish contingent. You wonder why the decline has happened? 

 
Whatever happens i just hope we dont lose Gilmour or Gallagher. When you think about it its actually frightening the amount of young quality players at Chelsea. Do we try and build a team around young guys for the future or go out and spend on big names which we have seen doesnt always go to plan. 

 
You would expect the new owners would want to make an impact, In JM's first season we signed the following to make a statement...

i'd expect a raft of transfer business again with the new owners wanting to make a statement and assuming the club have their targets identified and are ready to go, otherwise we could be in for a long summer like last season.

And that was a year after Roman's first statement :-)

I hope Boehly is intending to put in a great scouting system. Money ball approach etc etc. Similar to the start of the Roman era would do me, when it was all about young players who were "hungry to win trophies", English spine, etc etc ... 

The last thing we want is more expensive mercenaries like Lukaku ... 

Most of our top transfer fees paid haven't worked out - lessons to be learned !

Jesus only 2 out of 14 (Jorginho and Kovacic) have actually justified their fee

 
Yes. 

Keep Kai, Mount, James and Mendy. Ship the rest and rebuild

We should get rid of at least some 10 players. Not going to happen, but most of the starters and subs today do not deserve a place at Chelsea.
