Fixing Spurs is hopeless. They tried it with José and Conte and failed both times. The aura of the Club ruins any chance of an actually succesful rebuild
We need a how to fix spurs, no manager, no sporting director, potentially new owners which seems unlikely now, and potentially no Harry kane. No Harry could be a good thing which could allow us build the squad at the same level. But Harry has carried us for seasons linking play up, goals and assists, passion and energy.
Harry needs to leave for the better of Tottenham, he's got the Tottenham goal scoring record but if you get a new manager in he can rebuild the team with the funds from a kane sale. Who else do they have that could bring in £70-90mil. They need 4-5 first team players in
I also think Harry Kane leaving could be a better thing than it looks, if we can reinforce defensively and grab a progressive manager like Naggelsman. But that's a huuuge "If", considering Levy will always look for the cheapest option, regardless if they fit the system or are any good, sadly.
selling Havertz is definitely the right move. He's a 10 that can't create, a winger who can't beat a player and a striker who can't score. that said, Mount is kinda in a similar boat - he's not technically and creatively good enough to play in midfield and he isn' a world class winger either. So he should be sold, too

The players they have at the club right now should be putting up more than 29 league goals, I mean Arsenals front 3 of Martinelli, Jesus and Saka have put up 32 league goals between them and Jesus has missed 3 months of football. I know that we're playing well and you can make the argument that that front 3 is better than anything Chelsea have, sure, but people weren't saying that last season when comparing the squads.
Ivan Toney, £50m max, 15-20 goals minimum every season for 3-4 years is so smart, had the confidence a Chelsea striker needs, would certainly favour staying in London too
Mount and Gallagher are by far our biggest selling assets, given the fact their homegrown as well thats a pure profit for FFP.

Nagglesmann has a lot of adversity surrounding him and Enrique isn't someone that thrills me as a fan because he's been out of club football for so long. Ancelotti would be perfect, and he personally deserves another opportunity to add to his chelsea legacy

When Arteta took over Arsenal, guys like Auba and Tierney were the best players at the club but they didn’t suit his system and so had to be sacrificed. It’s the same with Klopp at Liverpool (Coutinho) for example

Great Episode. please make more of how to fix with other clubs owners and sports directors :D. My opinion is that this discussion should include the manager also.
Zac talking more like a Chelsea fan than a Chelsea exec. Easy W for Dougie here! Also why not Poch? Has worked with youth - attractive system - worked with lack of transfers and performed at a high level in the PL. Splash the money and turn his head.
i personally think Enrique is a much better option for chelsea. i do think that Nagelsmann is a better manager but i think in terms of the dressing room and with the board i thik that Nagelsmann will run into a lot of the same issues as potter did.
I think he probably only did that because Aubameyang hasn't played since a 15 min appearance in Feb and didn't want to use him from the start. He should start next week
1. Either Enrique or Mourinho 2. Toney is good but the gambling ban makes him a little iffy... I really like Kolo Muani. Not sure how much he would cost tho. 3. For DM I'd go for Khephren Thuram. 4. And for that creative midfielder, I'd keep Kovacic but play him higher up the field, with less defensive responsibilities. He is very creative, his passing is amazing, i love the way he dribbles past multiple players in like 3 secs. The problem is how deep he is being told to play. Also Kepa is fine for now, no need to spend on a goalie. Sell Mendy and Bettineli and have some youngster from the youth team be Kepa's second.
Sell- Havertz, Mount, Kovacic, Ziyech, Gallagher, Pulisic, Koulibaly, Kepa (main players with resell value) Buy- Costa, Mac Allister, Ugarte/Palhinha, Toney/Hojlund I think Raya is better than Kepa, I just don't know if it's that much of an upgrade.
What about moving on Sterling to gain some funds? Seems like we are going into a 2-3 year rejuvenation that doesn't really fit with his trajectory? Opens up for Mudryk to get more game time too. Thoughts?
Zak is pretty much spot on with everything. Not sure about manager options though. Main thing for me is to use these two months to find the right long term manager, not just pick someone because they're there.
LINE UP TO FIX CHELSEA Toney/Broja Mudryk/ Nkunku/ Madueke/ Sterling Chukwuemeka Pulisic Lavia/ Kante/ Zakaria Enzo Chilwell/ Badiashile/ Fofana/ James/ Cucurella Colwill Silva Gusto Sell all those not on the list, honestly Pulisic should go too but I don't know who we bring to replace him, plus keeper situation we might only be able to sort out 24/25 season, but we should sell Mendy while we can
I quite like this, but tbh, as long as Havertz and Koulibaly arent in squad, Im pretty satisfied. For me, Lavia hasn't done enough yet and for the 60 mill quote (might be 40-50 mill if relegated). My 3 picks are DM, CM, ST, Ugarte/Palhinha, Mac Allister/Veiga, Toney/Hojlund. Im scared of spending 120 mill on Osimhen, I can't lie. Also no issues selling Sterling, Pulisic or Cucurella if there's buyers, we have Maatsen coming back at LB, others that can play on the wing, save up the money for the next year or two to buy Kvaratskhelia.
@@scottyh1238 I doubt we can get rid of Kouli or Cucurella this season or for sure I would want them out now, but even if he is still remaining can't have him over the 4 CB's I have picked, Kai hopefully is gone although he would be good back up in that Cam/Shadow striker position but Chukwuemeka needs game time there next season with Nkunku been the starter, I don't think u have watched enough of Lavia he is a perfect number 6 who is really good in holding onto the ball but there is so much competition to get him but Paulhina is also second option I would pick
Toney is probably going to be facing a suspension for betting rules at the start of the season. So if you sign him, he won’t be playing at the start of the season.
Is the pressure becoming too much in the premier league? I don’t think the expectations for every single team have ever been this high. The tensions within the clubs as well are crazy. It seems like the joy in football is being sucked out slowly
Toney and Alvarez are great shouts, Szolobslai not sure about when we have Havertz and the guys didnt consider the 50 mil on Nkunku. Gallagher can be amazing under Nagelsmann, cant function in an Enrique system at all tho
Djellab bang on with Kova, last year of contract and only rated by people who don’t watch Chelsea regularly. Kante is a potential UCL winner when fit and a legend of the club
Can anyone tell me if this is correct? If you sell a player for less than what their remaining amortisation is (lower than their book value). That loss will count towards the premier league spending rules (as they currently stand). So they could take huge loses if they sell lukaku say for £20m.
Personally I think Poch is the best fit for Chelsea, I think the profile of that chelsea squad fits pretty nicely with the spurs squad that made the cl final. Havertz in the deli Ali second striker role (similar role to what he played at Leverkusen) , Sterling in the son role, mudryk in the Lucas moura role, lukaku getting in behind like kane, James as an excellent attacking rb with trippier was and Enzo mopping up midfield like sissoko did
My only concern with him is mentality. I suppose it doesn't help his image that his two biggest jobs were at two of Europe's biggest bottlers but I think it is still a genuine question to be asked of him
here's what I'd do with the Chelsea squad for next season (the consideration of some fees are taken by referencing Transfermarkt) Sales - Mendy £10m (overqualified backup) - Azpi £5m (expiring) - RLC £15m (expiring) - Pulisic £20m (expiring) - Ziyech £10m (expiring) - Auba £5m (expiring) - Callum Hudson-Odoi £15m (expiring) - Lukaku (sell or loan who cares) Sales (if price is right/contract refusal) - Koulibaly £20m - Chalobah £35m - Kovacic £40m (refusal) - Gallagher £40m - Mount £60m (refusal) - Kai £55m Purchases - GK either Neuer £10m or Maignan £50m? (Neuer has 1 yr left and has done all he can at Bayern; realistic ONLY IF he decides that the relationship with the club has run its course + he has a good 2-3 years at the top level still) - CDM either Rice £60m/Lavia £35m/Alvarez £35m - ST either Osimhen £120m/Toney £50m/Kane £85m Total Sales = £265m to £330m, leeway of £5m per player Total Purchases (most expensive possible option) = £230m to £260m, leeway of £10m per player 14 players OUT 3 players IN
Chelsea need an absolute fire sale in the summer....both GKs need to go, Cucurella, Koulibaly, Silva, Kante, Pulisic, Ziyech, Sterling, Kovacic all need to go...New GK, New CB, New CDM, new striker with whatever money is received from all those sales
433: GK: Kepa, Mendy RB: James, Gusto RCB: Fofana, Colwill, Azpilicueta LCB: Badiashille, Silva, Cucurella LB: Chilwell, Maatsen CDM: Kante, Kovacic RCM: Enzo, Gallagher LCM: Mount, Chukwuemeka RW: Havertz, Madueke LW: Mudryk, Sterling ST: Nkunku, Fofana This means that the likes of Koulibaly, Ziyech, Loftus-Cheek, Chalobah, Aubameyang, Pulisic, Broja, Hudson-Odoi, Sarr, Bakayoko, and Lukaku are on all the chopping block Get a new CDM to replace Kante should he leave, then see if there is a need to immediately replace Kovacic and Mount, whose contracts expire in 2024.
You guys mentioned it would be tough to negotiate with Benfica for Ramos after having bought Enzo, Szoboszlai and RBL might be a similar issue after the acquisition of Nkunku.
Ethan Ampadu-15m Ian Maatsen to Burnley for around 25m Malang Sarr for 10m Tino ANjorin for 8m CHO for around 15m Kovacic for around 50m and keeping Mount unless we sign Felix Chalobah to Inter milan or serie A for around 30m Mendy to Ligue 1 for over 10m I believe chelsea can make sales of over 200m pounds.
i cant stress enough how much i think ivan toney would be an unreal purchase for us in the summer. obvs his ban is an issue but putting that to the side i think the fact he is prem proven and has been since brentford were promoted is perfect. if we could get an oshimen ofc i would love that but its very unrealistic and there is always the doubt of could he do it in the prem.
@@95zakariya_ i agree that his ban is a major factor as he could miss a lot but if that wasn’t a factor i think he would be perfect and i think he’d still be way cheaper than an oshimen
Get rid of between-position players. Chelsea have a bunch of second strikers, and other players who are not strikers, wingers or ACM's, but something inbetween. Jacks of trades are masters of none, go for masters instead, get rid ! Fill every position in a 4-3-3 and 3-4-3 formation. Go either project or star guide manager. If project, the player recruitment needs to fit the long term plan, not just everything and everyone !!
Chelsea just need to settle honestly. The more these players gel together, the more they find where to fit them, and more it all comes together, the more they'll be back to where they are tbh.
I think Mourinho is the guy Chelsea should go for. The one thing he was lacking in his previous couple of jobs is constant financial backing - that's one thing, that Bohely will for sure have for him - what Chelsea need now is a clearly established way of playing and trimming of the squad - that's what Mourinho is great at. He's the Mr Chelsea in terms of being a manager and he is the one who built Chelsea's best sides in the past. His time at Roma proves, that he deserves a shot at a top club, that'll properly back him financially.
My 3 steps for how to fix Chelsea : 1. Get Enriqueeee as Head coach 2. Sell everyone who don't wanna play for the club like Mount, Havertz, Ziyech and other surplus players. 3. Build team by adding young and promising players around who's giving their all for the club like Silva, Enzo, Kante and James.
mount wants to be at the club, people are overreacting, if signs the new contract he should stay. Mount is a double digit goal and assist player with a good coach. He should not leave
Hello, long time subscriber and fan of the channel. Just wanted to know if it’s just me or are all your videos a lower volume than every other video on RUclips
Chelsea need, a massive clearout of around 10-15 players, an experienced coach who has a rich history of developing young talent and 3 major signings, a ST, a DM and a competent goalkeeper. My top picks are Toney for ST, Palhinha for DM and Diogo Costa for goalkeeper.
Joao palhinha will fix us instantly. Prem proven and world class at breaking up play, allowing Enzo to be more creative like he was at the World Cup, feeding balls to our many talented attackers to score goals and fix that problem.
Kolo muani as a striker could be worth a shot french international has good link up play. Onana from Everton if they go down or Alvarez from Ajax. Keeper Raya from Brentford although I can see a bidding war taking place for him in the summer. Nkunku can play as the cam or give Kai a chance behind a striker. Sell some CBS and sign ndicka on a free he has more potential than Trevor and kalidou
I would like to pitch in too and recommend Sergio Conceiçao, all he’s managed to achieve with Porto in the last few years with none or just some investment it’s incredible, which is what Chelsea needs right now a manager that will work with what they got which is incredibly talented players in their squad. He’s also has proved to have the ability to improvise and adjust to different types of tactics and formations when playing in the UCL. He’s a big caracter in the changing rooms and would most definitely bring some discipline to the team, he’s also great at encouraging the players to big matches!
He's been great this season, I actually think he'd be a better candidate for Tottenham, he competes in the champions league every year with a team weaker than the usual top European clubs, it would be similar at spurs competing with the top clubs in the Prem.
Manager choice: Julian Nagglesmann -Young Manager -Would be expressive and build chemistry. -Has a playing style (which we are lacking) Player sells: Méndy, Azpilicueta,Koulibaly, Gallagher, Aubameyang, Pulisic, Ziyech, RLC,Kovacic,Lukaku,CHO etc. Loan out: Datro Fofana, Chalobah, Gabriel Slonina. Lewis Hall. Signings: David Raya, Edson Alvarez, Dominik Szoboszlai, Romeo Lavia, Ivan Toney. Goalkeepers: David Raya (£35M) 🇪🇸 Kepa Arrizabalaga 🇪🇸 Marcus Bettinelli 🏴 Jamie Cumming 🏴 Defenders: Reece James 🏴 Malo Gusto 🇫🇷 Centre Backs: Thiago Silva 🇧🇷 Benoit Badiashile 🇫🇷 Levi Colwill 🏴 Wesley Fofana 🇫🇷 Left Back: Marc Cucurella 🇪🇸 Benjamin Chilwell 🏴 CDM: Roméo Lavia 🇧🇪(£45M) Edson Alvarez 🇲🇽(£45M) Ngolo Kanté 🇫🇷 (Injury Prone only play in important games) Midfielders: Dominik Szoboszlai (£55M) 🇭🇺 Andrey Santos 🇧🇷 Enzo Fernandez 🇦🇷 Carney Chukwuemeka 🏴 Wingers: Raheem Sterling 🏴 Noni Madueke 🏴 Mykhailo Mudryk 🇺🇦 Christopher Nkunku 🇫🇷 Forwards: Ivan Toney (£50M) 🏴 Armando Broja 🇦🇱 Kai Havertz 🇩🇪(Less pressure as a no.9 play as a CAM/CF) (Squad Trimed also no European football)
Really irritates me tbh because even though alot of change we still have a squad good enough for top 4 and the players are not performing I don't blame the managers because it's was the same under Lampard the first time
The Bundesliga tax is 100% real. Pulisic, Havertz, Werner, Haller, Keita, Sancho. There’s been a lot more misses than hits, Haaland is the only one that has worked out recently.
I'd like Gregor Kobel as a potential goalkeeping option for Chelsea. Don't think Dortmund will want to sell, but if there's a chance they would that's my number 1 option
I’ll be honest, I don’t think that money from sales is going to factor into our budget in the summer. I think we’re going to spend 200-300 million again in the summer. Based on reports, apparently we only need to make 40 million from a home grown asset or 2 to make ourselves safe. We’re going to make those signings regardless of sales. They’re almost unrelated.
Personally, I would also sell kova and go for a free on Tielemans, he would be a pretty good sub for Enzo and could also be interesting to have them both on the field at the same time. Also, you guys forgot about Hudson Odoi, his contract is also expering at the end of next season, and Chelsea might be able to to get 10-13 mill for him. If Mount doesn't sign a new contract. he 100% needs to get sold, szoboszlai is a pretty exciting prospect, but I think Maddison would a perfect fit for this team, although Newcastle seems to have the upper hand on that one. Lastly, instead of Alvarez, I would go for Palhinha since he's Premier League proven.

Great Episode. please make more of how to fix with other clubs owners and sports directors :D.
My opinion is that this discussion should include the manager also.
Love it lads ! need more dougie in my life ! Surely Liverpool has to be next !
Keep in mind that Enrique struggles with low blocks which is what most premier league teams outside the top 6 rely on
Dougie looks like he has to manage a non-league team with some revolutionary tactics after the shoot.
A new FD series? Football Daily managing a side maybe 👀
[Zac]
Zac talking more like a Chelsea fan than a Chelsea exec. Easy W for Dougie here! Also why not Poch? Has worked with youth - attractive system - worked with lack of transfers and performed at a high level in the PL. Splash the money and turn his head.
i personally think Enrique is a much better option for chelsea. i do think that Nagelsmann is a better manager but i think in terms of the dressing room and with the board i thik that Nagelsmann will run into a lot of the same issues as potter did.
Lampards first mistake was starting harvetz in the striker position
I think he probably only did that because Aubameyang hasn't played since a 15 min appearance in Feb and didn't want to use him from the start. He should start next week
this type of conversation needs to done with 3 chelsea fans,
1. Either Enrique or Mourinho
2. Toney is good but the gambling ban makes him a little iffy... I really like Kolo Muani. Not sure how much he would cost tho.
3. For DM I'd go for Khephren Thuram.
4. And for that creative midfielder, I'd keep Kovacic but play him higher up the field, with less defensive responsibilities. He is very creative, his passing is amazing, i love the way he dribbles past multiple players in like 3 secs. The problem is how deep he is being told to play.
Also Kepa is fine for now, no need to spend on a goalie. Sell Mendy and Bettineli and have some youngster from the youth team be Kepa's second.
Sell- Havertz, Mount, Kovacic, Ziyech, Gallagher, Pulisic, Koulibaly, Kepa (main players with resell value)
Buy- Costa, Mac Allister, Ugarte/Palhinha, Toney/Hojlund
I think Raya is better than Kepa, I just don't know if it's that much of an upgrade.
Lampard really gave Chelsea that new manager bounce🔥
Super Frank
I don’t know why we brought frank lampard back. Even if he wins the ucl it still makes no sense at all, he wasn’t good enough for everton.
What about moving on Sterling to gain some funds? Seems like we are going into a 2-3 year rejuvenation that doesn't really fit with his trajectory? Opens up for Mudryk to get more game time too. Thoughts?
Zak is pretty much spot on with everything. Not sure about manager options though. Main thing for me is to use these two months to find the right long term manager, not just pick someone because they're there.
Cheers mate!
[Zac]
Can someone please turn Zac’s microphone up or tell him to to speak up because that was painful!!!
LINE UP TO FIX CHELSEA
Toney/Broja
Mudryk/ Nkunku/ Madueke/
Sterling Chukwuemeka Pulisic
Lavia/ Kante/
Zakaria Enzo
Chilwell/ Badiashile/ Fofana/ James/
Cucurella Colwill Silva Gusto
Sell all those not on the list, honestly Pulisic should go too but I don't know who we bring to replace him, plus keeper situation we might only be able to sort out 24/25 season, but we should sell Mendy while we can
I quite like this, but tbh, as long as Havertz and Koulibaly arent in squad, Im pretty satisfied.
For me, Lavia hasn't done enough yet and for the 60 mill quote (might be 40-50 mill if relegated).
My 3 picks are DM, CM, ST, Ugarte/Palhinha, Mac Allister/Veiga, Toney/Hojlund. Im scared of spending 120 mill on Osimhen, I can't lie.
Also no issues selling Sterling, Pulisic or Cucurella if there's buyers, we have Maatsen coming back at LB, others that can play on the wing, save up the money for the next year or two to buy Kvaratskhelia.
Benching Enzo?
@@scottyh1238 I doubt we can get rid of Kouli or Cucurella this season or for sure I would want them out now, but even if he is still remaining can't have him over the 4 CB's I have picked, Kai hopefully is gone although he would be good back up in that Cam/Shadow striker position but Chukwuemeka needs game time there next season with Nkunku been the starter, I don't think u have watched enough of Lavia he is a perfect number 6 who is really good in holding onto the ball but there is so much competition to get him but Paulhina is also second option I would pick
@@T1TK1 No play him with Kante, but I put him under Kante cause they both favour that side
@@seananthonisz3618 Ahh okay, looked weird initially.
Watching this makes you realise how screwed Chelsea are 😂
Didnt zach said chelsea were gonna win ucl with lampard?
Before watching, my transfer list is:
-Raya
-MacAllister
-Toney
After watching:
I would add Edson Alvarez
Toney is probably going to be facing a suspension for betting rules at the start of the season. So if you sign him, he won’t be playing at the start of the season.
Jesus, this club is an absolute disaster. The fact there’s barely a sellable asset in a 33 man squad is embarrassing…
Can you do this again with Tottenham, think it would be a great video like this one !!
Would have helped if you had a graphic of what cuts, sales and purchases you had decided upon
It appears later on in the video once all the decisions have been made
[Zac]
Zac shocked the entire episode by the fees and decisions just like most chelsea fans 😂 at least in their head their players are all brilliant
Dougie is such a W mans
Zac there’s legit 0 chance chelsea win the champions league. By far the worst team in the competition rn
Is the pressure becoming too much in the premier league? I don’t think the expectations for every single team have ever been this high. The tensions within the clubs as well are crazy. It seems like the joy in football is being sucked out slowly
Zac wanting to keep Mount and Gallagher 😂😂😂😂😂
Striker: Marcus Thuram
CAM: keep Mount/ play Havertz
CDM: keep Kanté/ Amadou Onana
GK: André Onana
I reckon Ollie Watkins gets Chelsea 15 prem goals a season for under £50m
Toney and Alvarez are great shouts, Szolobslai not sure about when we have Havertz and the guys didnt consider the 50 mil on Nkunku. Gallagher can be amazing under Nagelsmann, cant function in an Enrique system at all tho
Djellab bang on with Kova, last year of contract and only rated by people who don’t watch Chelsea regularly. Kante is a potential UCL winner when fit and a legend of the club
Really entertaining video guys. I think a Liverpool version would also bang
Szoboszlai would never leave for anything less than his release clause of around €70mil.
Can anyone tell me if this is correct? If you sell a player for less than what their remaining amortisation is (lower than their book value). That loss will count towards the premier league spending rules (as they currently stand). So they could take huge loses if they sell lukaku say for £20m.
I agree, Goncalo Ramos is the man
Personally I think Poch is the best fit for Chelsea, I think the profile of that chelsea squad fits pretty nicely with the spurs squad that made the cl final. Havertz in the deli Ali second striker role (similar role to what he played at Leverkusen) , Sterling in the son role, mudryk in the Lucas moura role, lukaku getting in behind like kane, James as an excellent attacking rb with trippier was and Enzo mopping up midfield like sissoko did
‘In behind like kane’💀💀
lakaka is a bum he doesnt run an sweats after walking
My only concern with him is mentality. I suppose it doesn't help his image that his two biggest jobs were at two of Europe's biggest bottlers but I think it is still a genuine question to be asked of him
here's what I'd do with the Chelsea squad for next season
(the consideration of some fees are taken by referencing Transfermarkt)
Sales
- Mendy £10m (overqualified backup)
- Azpi £5m (expiring)
- RLC £15m (expiring)
- Pulisic £20m (expiring)
- Ziyech £10m (expiring)
- Auba £5m (expiring)
- Callum Hudson-Odoi £15m (expiring)
- Lukaku (sell or loan who cares)
Sales (if price is right/contract refusal)
- Koulibaly £20m
- Chalobah £35m
- Kovacic £40m (refusal)
- Gallagher £40m
- Mount £60m (refusal)
- Kai £55m
Purchases
- GK either Neuer £10m or Maignan £50m?
(Neuer has 1 yr left and has done all he can at Bayern; realistic ONLY IF he decides that the relationship with the club has run its course + he has a good 2-3 years at the top level still)
- CDM either Rice £60m/Lavia £35m/Alvarez £35m
- ST either Osimhen £120m/Toney £50m/Kane £85m
Total Sales = £265m to £330m, leeway of £5m per player
Total Purchases (most expensive possible option) = £230m to £260m, leeway of £10m per player
14 players OUT
3 players IN
sell sterling too
@@treemanleafman410 no
@@fpl_djhammer did you not see him against wolves he looked like he didnt care
@@treemanleafman410 don't let 1 game dictate club-level decisions
incredibly reactionary that
I really liked this type of topic/video, would love to see more!
Chelsea need an absolute fire sale in the summer....both GKs need to go, Cucurella, Koulibaly, Silva, Kante, Pulisic, Ziyech, Sterling, Kovacic all need to go...New GK, New CB, New CDM, new striker with whatever money is received from all those sales
Why on earth would we sell silva😂
433:
GK: Kepa, Mendy
RB: James, Gusto
RCB: Fofana, Colwill, Azpilicueta
LCB: Badiashille, Silva, Cucurella
LB: Chilwell, Maatsen
CDM: Kante, Kovacic
RCM: Enzo, Gallagher
LCM: Mount, Chukwuemeka
RW: Havertz, Madueke
LW: Mudryk, Sterling
ST: Nkunku, Fofana
This means that the likes of Koulibaly, Ziyech, Loftus-Cheek, Chalobah, Aubameyang, Pulisic, Broja, Hudson-Odoi, Sarr, Bakayoko, and Lukaku are on all the chopping block
Get a new CDM to replace Kante should he leave, then see if there is a need to immediately replace Kovacic and Mount, whose contracts expire in 2024.
You guys mentioned it would be tough to negotiate with Benfica for Ramos after having bought Enzo, Szoboszlai and RBL might be a similar issue after the acquisition of Nkunku.
chelsea has won 4 (four) league games in about 6 months and somehow chelsea fans think they'll win the champions league. football is special
I swear this is like the 5th chelsea special of this season. I'm tired of hearing you guys talk about chelsea
I want Madrid to spank Chelsea 7-0 so that the board doesn't give Clownpard a permanent contract
Ethan Ampadu-15m
Ian Maatsen to Burnley for around 25m
Malang Sarr for 10m
Tino ANjorin for 8m
CHO for around 15m
Kovacic for around 50m and keeping Mount unless we sign Felix
Chalobah to Inter milan or serie A for around 30m
Mendy to Ligue 1 for over 10m
I believe chelsea can make sales of over 200m pounds.
Love the boys, but these takes are brutal.
Sellable / release: Mendy, Koulibaly, Cucurella, Ampadu, Bakayoko, Gallagher, Zakaria, Felix, Havertz, Ziyech, Loftus-Cheek, Hudson-Odoi, Pulisic, Aubameyang, Lukaku, Sarr, Rahman.
Buy / incorporate: Gusto, Nkunku, Mount - new contract, Kante - new contract, Colwill, Maatsen, Andrey Santos, Rice (70m), Tammy (80m buy back clause).
Fixed. Simples.
i cant stress enough how much i think ivan toney would be an unreal purchase for us in the summer. obvs his ban is an issue but putting that to the side i think the fact he is prem proven and has been since brentford were promoted is perfect. if we could get an oshimen ofc i would love that but its very unrealistic and there is always the doubt of could he do it in the prem.
brentford would be wary of selling to another london club they’d probably demand £80m. + if we get toney and he gets banned for a while it’s a. waste
@@95zakariya_ i agree that his ban is a major factor as he could miss a lot but if that wasn’t a factor i think he would be perfect and i think he’d still be way cheaper than an oshimen
Y’all are right cause Kepa has been very good this year
Get rid of between-position players. Chelsea have a bunch of second strikers, and other players who are not strikers, wingers or ACM's, but something inbetween. Jacks of trades are masters of none, go for masters instead, get rid !
Fill every position in a 4-3-3 and 3-4-3 formation.
Go either project or star guide manager.
If project, the player recruitment needs to fit the long term plan, not just everything and everyone !!
Chelsea just need to settle honestly. The more these players gel together, the more they find where to fit them, and more it all comes together, the more they'll be back to where they are tbh.
Zak bigging up Gallagher after he’s been on his show for Chelsea TV 😂
I think Mourinho is the guy Chelsea should go for. The one thing he was lacking in his previous couple of jobs is constant financial backing - that's one thing, that Bohely will for sure have for him - what Chelsea need now is a clearly established way of playing and trimming of the squad - that's what Mourinho is great at. He's the Mr Chelsea in terms of being a manager and he is the one who built Chelsea's best sides in the past. His time at Roma proves, that he deserves a shot at a top club, that'll properly back him financially.
My 3 steps for how to fix Chelsea :
1. Get Enriqueeee as Head coach
2. Sell everyone who don't wanna play for the club like Mount, Havertz, Ziyech and other surplus players.
3. Build team by adding young and promising players around who's giving their all for the club like Silva, Enzo, Kante and James.
mount wants to be at the club, people are overreacting, if signs the new contract he should stay. Mount is a double digit goal and assist player with a good coach. He should not leave
Well hiring Lampard isn’t going to fix anything! 😂
Unless he watches this
Hello, long time subscriber and fan of the channel. Just wanted to know if it’s just me or are all your videos a lower volume than every other video on RUclips
Im halfway through the vid and I start realising how broken Chelsea really are
Loan players returning: Lukaku, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Malang Sarr, Levi Cowill, Ethan Ampadu, Andrei Santos, Abdulrahman Baba, Malo Gusto and Kennedy.
Chelsea need, a massive clearout of around 10-15 players, an experienced coach who has a rich history of developing young talent and 3 major signings, a ST, a DM and a competent goalkeeper. My top picks are Toney for ST, Palhinha for DM and Diogo Costa for goalkeeper.
Joao palhinha will fix us instantly. Prem proven and world class at breaking up play, allowing Enzo to be more creative like he was at the World Cup, feeding balls to our many talented attackers to score goals and fix that problem.
The 4-3-3 is tough with James + Chilly in the lineup.
Live footage of Chelsea's meeting room.
Kolo muani as a striker could be worth a shot french international has good link up play.
Onana from Everton if they go down or Alvarez from Ajax.
Keeper Raya from Brentford although I can see a bidding war taking place for him in the summer.
Nkunku can play as the cam or give Kai a chance behind a striker.
Sell some CBS and sign ndicka on a free he has more potential than Trevor and kalidou
I would like to pitch in too and recommend Sergio Conceiçao, all he’s managed to achieve with Porto in the last few years with none or just some investment it’s incredible, which is what Chelsea needs right now a manager that will work with what they got which is incredibly talented players in their squad. He’s also has proved to have the ability to improvise and adjust to different types of tactics and formations when playing in the UCL. He’s a big caracter in the changing rooms and would most definitely bring some discipline to the team, he’s also great at encouraging the players to big matches!
He's been great this season, I actually think he'd be a better candidate for Tottenham, he competes in the champions league every year with a team weaker than the usual top European clubs, it would be similar at spurs competing with the top clubs in the Prem.
@@AmazinJ89 completely forgot about Spurs, I definitely agree!
i agree with Dougy with luis enrique over nagelsmann, i could see nagelsmann struggling in england and it think he knows more than Zac

50 mil for Ramos, sorry but you're dreaming ...
Gallagher is AWFUL!
rip hamil gone but never forgotten 2016-2023
Callum Hudson Odoi must be worth 15-20mil as a saleable asset also.
Really irritates me tbh because even though alot of change we still have a squad good enough for top 4 and the players are not performing I don't blame the managers because it's was the same under Lampard the first time
Need to keep Gallagher and Chalobah, for home grown player reasons
Happy Easter Sunday🎉
The Bundesliga tax is 100% real. Pulisic, Havertz, Werner, Haller, Keita, Sancho. There’s been a lot more misses than hits, Haaland is the only one that has worked out recently.
How to fix is top top tier content
I'd like Gregor Kobel as a potential goalkeeping option for Chelsea. Don't think Dortmund will want to sell, but if there's a chance they would that's my number 1 option
The Chelsea transfer ban wasn't from breaking financial fair play, it was for signing a under 18 and similar things.
I’ll be honest, I don’t think that money from sales is going to factor into our budget in the summer. I think we’re going to spend 200-300 million again in the summer. Based on reports, apparently we only need to make 40 million from a home grown asset or 2 to make ourselves safe. We’re going to make those signings regardless of sales. They’re almost unrelated.
Personally, I would also sell kova and go for a free on Tielemans, he would be a pretty good sub for Enzo and could also be interesting to have them both on the field at the same time. Also, you guys forgot about Hudson Odoi, his contract is also expering at the end of next season, and Chelsea might be able to to get 10-13 mill for him. If Mount doesn't sign a new contract. he 100% needs to get sold, szoboszlai is a pretty exciting prospect, but I think Maddison would a perfect fit for this team, although Newcastle seems to have the upper hand on that one. Lastly, instead of Alvarez, I would go for Palhinha since he's Premier League proven.
You guys forgot to mention Maatsen as a potential sale candidate, can easily get 30+m from Burnley or any other club
