football999 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Decent article here http://www.totalfusbol.com/latest-stories/chelsea-in-danger-of-being-left-behind/ I do feel that we need someone like Bale in the side. We look short going forward, no doubt about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamie#8 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I think the problem is we haven't improved the squad. There is not many behind the 'first XI' that JM trusts, and he is right because they are not good enough. Check games against Fiorentina in Pre-season and Bradford in FA Cup last year. There is a lack of competition in the squad, and too many players know no matter how they play, they will be in the team the following week, if fit. It seems we have to sell to buy, and shifting the likes of Mikel & Cuadrado for decent money is harder than first thought. And with our new reputation of being able to do great business, we are giving nothing away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nichollz Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 We need to avoid the problems that plague the rest of the Prem; being world class at spending money instead of being world class at building a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissouriBlue Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Do we really need another topic for this discussion? There are at least 2 or 3 to take a pick from... That was my initial thoughts too. There are 2/3 topics in the rumors subsection that are extremely closely themed imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbywoodhogan Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 He did break records though, such as Rio True but it's not often he went out and bought a full fledged superstar, even Cantona wasn't the star he became when they signed him. Van Persie is first one that springs to mind that was already a star player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) F me, we are only a few days into the new season, 1 game down and the whole fookin media and a lot of posters on her have written the club's chances off because they didn't spunk 200 mill in the transfer market, I do think improvements to the squad could be made by a 2 or 3 QUALITY new faces coming in, attack, mid & defence, but to say we are up the proverbial creek without a paddle is BOLLOX Edited August 12, 2015 by General Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecoolguy22 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 We are either buying success or being left behind, can't win these days either way We only played 1 match this season, for heaven sake. I would like another option in the final second, however if Jose believes the current squad is strong enough, I'm happy to trust his judgement.

chaboinateg Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I can't seem to figure out the reason we hardly see youngsters and fringe players get first team playing time... Is it because of Jose's seemingly short term mentality (that he's possessed his entire managerial career) or because Roman wants to win trophies every year so Jose feels pressure whether it's implicit or explicit?
