Winter signings often overpay so not overspending, even if for positions that are needed, might be the responsible thing to do, I’m wondering could these offloadings be for PSR and/or FFP compliance
Amougo would seem to be a replacement for Santos at Strasbourg when Santos joins Chelsea this summer. Santos is human, it makes sense to introduce him to the squad in a proper manner this summer vs in the middle of this season. Set him up for success not failure.
@@mthorpe06 this point exactly. Why take him out of a side where’s he’s playing week in week out, he’s even been captain - to get minimal minutes at Chelsea. He’ll be integrated properly come the summer.
missed a massive chance to strength key areas to go all out for top 4 which we desperately need! then go and sign a kid from france for midfield cover when we’ve already got arguably the best young midfielder in france on loan at Strasbourg in Andrey santos
We were never going to get santos back in January! We have an affiliation with Strasbourg and he’s been there best player! The owners will want to support Strasbourg as well and taking him away to sit in our bench won’t be perceived well. Leaving him there was the right call, and no doubt both players will swap current clubs by July. Lesley will be sold or loaned again
Almost snap, I’ve been supporter since 67. Seen the good the bad and the ugly. Also seen the great which now seems to have moved over the horizon at a pace☹️
Sancho is to slow he always slow the play down I don't understand why are wingers are so far by the touchline they should come inside and collect the ball not wait
@@stephenrice1592 That's maresca whole system my guy,they create space so Jackson palmer and enzo has space to run at the defenders,plus it isolates the fullbacks one on one against our very dribbly wingers
We had a chance to bring in a 19-year-old striker with Premier League experience (Ferguson) on loan to give Jackson better back up than Guiu, but instead we opted to recall a striker that only scored 4 goals for Burnley. This transfer team is something else, and I mean that in the worst way possible.
@@Vincento00 because people are used to Chelsea transfer copium at this point. For years we’ve papered over the cracks by signing a load of players and it gets the fans all excited. The reality is, the appropriate striker for Chelsea Football Club isn’t available this January. We’re better off working with what we have and we can re-assess in the summer.
Squad movements: 17 transfers, 4 sales, 4 recalls, 9 loans-out. Key gaps remain in GK and CF, with reduced cover in crucial roles. Squad weakened while rivals strengthened. Poor planning for upcoming no summer break/club world cup and into next season. Opportunities missed.
Just to make it clear. Chelsea NEVER announced the signing of Amougou. The only thing that was announced is the here we go from Fabrizio. He is still officially a St. Etienne player.
@@KG-vn8ou i predict 10-12th finish cos this win against west ham was pure lucky bounce that went over airiolas hands. Again we were down against west ham, ipwich won us. Its not looking good
George this could work well 4 Chelsea now concentrate on this squad that he has now as the squad before was too big to manage Chelsea have been spoilt over the years and we expect signings every transfer window not sustainable so I see the direction but we still do need a few experience players in there hopefully the older boys can step up and the younger boys can look up to them and work with it let's see how we do against Brighton in the cup and the next few games hopefully sticks with jurgenson in goal. I would love to buy the juventus left winger what a player . CFC for life JK West London man
As fans we all want to see signings that improve the team. However, with the club spending big and often badly in previous windows, and then missing out on CL revenue for 2 years (no front of shirt sponsor this year), I think PSR is a real issue for us. The clubs never going come out and admit: 1) we are in real difficult meeting PSR 2) for next season or two we are only aiming to be competing for top 4 or 6-ish, rather than really trying to win anything major. Actually Enzo did say in an interview that the "schedule" was to push for top 4 next season. However, looking at how we've operated over the last 2 windows tells me that is probably the case. The last 2 window can mainly described as "PSR dancing": Over the summer - got Felix to allow us to sell Gallagher (after failing to do a swap with Villa for Duran & Gallagher) - got Kellyman to allow us to sell Maatsen - KDH's yearly cost offset by selling Golding to Leicester - Tosin on free to use or likely sell on future - a swath of youngsters who we think can increase in value (Veiga, Jorgensen, Wiley, Penders) - cashing in on Lukaku, Angelo, pure-profit Hall - desperately trying and sell Broja & Chalobah (for pure profit) - forcing out Chilwell and Sterling (because of high wages) - try and get Osimhen for 2 packets of foodstamps There were only really 2 signing to improve the team: - Neto (who I'm guess we got decent payment terms on) - Sancho (who was an opportunistic signing, loan and then a low fee compare to his previous hype) Jan window - Loaning out under utilised players for loan fees, wage savings and improving future sale value (Veiga, Disassi, Felix, Carney) - Selling Casadei - Only buying a young midfielder who we can move send to Strasbourg next summer We can only hope that after we've weathered this PSR storm, we are able to invest properly in the summer. Obviously making CL football would make a big different in that regard.
Agree a 100 percent,we should be soo thankful that these sporting directors have been able to get jems , through the transfer window,i genuinely don't understand how there are any real Chelsea fans that can't see that we have to adapt our transfer model from prior years
@@stefanpetrusev2327 Yeah, I think there were some horrible (and to some degree unfortunate) mistakes in previous seasons that put us in this really difficult financial situation. And the last 2 windows have been us trying get to be a better place, trying to dig ourselves out of the huge hole we landed ourselves in following the 2/3 seasons of madness. Starting from pre-Clearlake: - cashing in CBs (Tomori, Guehi, Zouma) and then letting 2 start CBs leave on free (Rudiger, Christensen) - investing huge money fee and wages on Lukaku - not getting a DM (choosing a Saul loan over Tchouaméni) From Clearlake: (first season) - letting Tuchel pick his signings only then to fire him months later (compensation costs) - Sterling on £325k/week, Aubameyang and Koulibaly high salaries, £75m and a high salary on injury-riddled Fofana - £21m for Potter and staff, then have to pay to sack them - The mad January window gambling that we could qualify for CL by spending big: expensive Felix (loan), Mudryk and overpaid for Enzo Fernandez (he's doing well now but we definitely overpaid) (second season) - Hiring then having to sack Poch - Overpaying for Caicedo (great player for us, but could have saved a lot if we didn't let it end up as bidding war with Liverpool) - Big investment on Lavia with big injury issues - £39m on Diassi (because of Fofana being injured)
Mathis was bought to send to Strasbourg in the summer when Santos joins us. It’s annoying but let’s not act like Mathis is in the cfc lineup this year unless serious injury issues. Not necessarily a comment towards you George. Just agreeing w you lol.
Problem is that what happens if Caicedo and/or Enzo get injured? KDH is the replacement who also gets injured quite a bit. If one of them and KDH get injured what do we do? That's the issue
@@stefanpetrusev2327no he’s telling it how it is. Colwill is a disaster. His passing is atrocious, he’s got no pace and his decision making is poor. Over rated just now. He needs to get back to basics.
😂😅 this club makes no sense. We have no back up left back, no substitute for number 10 , no cm substitute, wingers and quality striker and we are expecting top 4...well good luck
Noni has to have a long hard look at himself n shape up a bit he sulks to much and gets lazy if he wants to be the top player he thinks he is he’s gotta show it week in week out not just once every 6-7 games, Neto came on and wanted to prove a point had the energy and drive that’s what we need from Noni
It’s safe to say we’re now a business venture, our board only care about the profit hence why they keep getting young players. The guy was signed to be eventually loaned to Strasbourg when Santos joins, so don’t read much into it.
If Nkunku really does want to leave, you would have thought he would up his game, so other teams would think yeah there's a good player we will make a bid in the summer, but he is not helping himself
Nkunku is way better than Felix will ever be . I am glad that star boy left , wherever he played he never adapted, so i blame him not the club. For me to be honest i think we did a good job in the transfer window. We are going to see the players we need getting signed in the summer transfer window.
Disagree. Felix is fantastic, and the manager's job is to find a place to start him. What they have in common is that neither has truly been given a chance. Playing Nkunku as a left winger is a joke.
@@MaterLacrymarum Felix is fantastic but he never lived up to the expectations the stats speak for himself , when atletico payed a staggering amount for him they expected him to grow at a high level but he never did that's why they tried to ge rid of him for almost 3 X lower the price. On the other hand Nkunku performed at highest level scoring goal for fun in Bundesliga , his bad luck was that injury that kept him off the pitch for too long but as soon as he will find his form he will deliver again i tell you that. The difference between these two players is enourmous when it comes to mentality and professionalism with Felix lacking at both.
@ Overall and statistically he provided 13 goals and 4 assist in all competition until now. If he was so poor i'm sure maresca would have let him leave instead of Felix but Maresca didn't even want to work with Felix in the first place and that says a lot about him. Felix was brought only for business so we can fund Atletico for Gallagher so we can earn max profit for academy player. If there is any player useless for this team that's definitely Felix. FACTS !
Jackson hasn't proved he's a striker. He's an improvement on Lukau for mobility, but he's still a winger in the striker role. I fear we will suffer for this. Nkunku would be better up front.
Not bringing Ugochukwu and Santos back even though it does not make sense at first, Santos was not brought back because the owners also care about Strasbourg seen as they own that club as well and they want it to do well. Ugochukwu on the other hand just started playing regularly and bringing him back would not be in his interest because he will play less. Felix in my opinion was a buy just to give Atletico the funds to buy Gallagher of us and I personally never liked him at our club. But yes the fact that we did not buy a striker is a big issue. All in all it was not a perfect transfer window, but I would say it was a 5-6/10.
Nkunku's injury has really messed him up. He is not just the same guy again. Not the person we saw at bundesliga. He keep passing the ball backwards instead of going forward.
@@madziaciapko or he just isnt as good as you idiots make him to be. His same level player as werner. Semi decent speed but nothing else, no dribble no finish no anything
We received 5+ mil for each of 2 of our fringe players that get both get very little game time, and signed a promising player for I believe 10-12 mil, so essentially the money for those two loans is reinvested directly into a developing player. Realistically Amougou is just there for cover until Lavia gets back and will pretty much be a like for like swap for Santos next year, KDH will be ahead of him for the time being. We will definitely send him away to Stras next year, Additionally we didnt waste any money on rushing into plugging temporary holes and making more mistakes like previous mid season windows, meaning we can take our time and set ourselves up for proper investment post season. Bringing Trev back is a smart move also, giving us enough cover in defence now, just hope he stays at the end of the season. We get probably at least 500-600K a week off the wage book between Carns, Disasi, Chilly and Felix. I think this is actually quite a smartly played transfer window, maybe it seems underwhelming compared to recent windows since the takeover, but i think putting these players in the shop window for potential future exits, wages off the book, and a cheap prospect paid for almost entirely by loan fees (who's future resell value will only go up) is smart business and leave us in a good place for the end of the season. Providing we still make UCL, I think we will look back at this window at the start of next season and think this was smartly played honestly. Only thing we really missed out on I believe is cover for Jackson (where we do still have Guiu who has consistently looked good and hopefully we see more of now), everywhere else I'd say we are decently covered, should still make top 4, get UCL and be in a position for some big moves come summer. Love the Channel mate, just trying to look at it in a positive way!
Nkunku should never play striker again. Put him in the 10 because he’s inflexible. Palmer is flexible. Palmer on the left, Nkunku behind Guiu and Neto/Noni on the right. Jackson could be super sub after 70 mins.
I don’t care that Maresca didn’t want us to buy Felix, we know the player he is. He still could’ve solved a big problem of ours and helped us win, and he seemed to genuinely want to be here and was excited to come back. Maresca needs to take heat on this one for being stubborn. I wish Felix the best and hope he cooks at Milan for his own sake, even though it’ll be incredibly frustrating when we just use it as a reason to put a higher price tag on him for selling him this summer
We can cross if needed but theres nobody to finish basically ever. Even in prime reece and chillwell years there were constant crosses in the box but nobody to hit it in the net.
I understand the sentiments. But lets get real, the directors of football have been immense in the signings and being able to maneuver PSR. This time last year there was a lot of noise about Chelsea getting sanctioned and how the squad was too large. They have weathered that storm by navigating the transfer market smartly. There is no point buying players who are on our B list for huge amounts. In the summer, we will fill the number 9 position. We don't need another GK. There is Jorgensen and the option to recall Petrovic. Santos will be back into the midfield and hopefully a fit Lavia. We need a LB (Backup), and a serial goal scorer. The goal this season is to qualify for the UCL, and we are on track to achieve that. We have won 12 and drawn 7 games out of 24. Next season, a serial goal scorer will change these draws to wins. Right now, the focus should be UCL!!
love the videos man, but nkunku is an insanely good player and the lack of confidence isn’t helping. i think there is a solution for him on the left. i truly think it’s maresca not having him in that’s shot him in the foot. over time, w confidence and backing, nkunku>felix.
Yeah, but i guess wed have to sell someone for actual profit before spending for guys that will cost enourmous money. Imagine if tottenhama was willing to pay 70 for guehi and palace rejected. Just think what duran, isak, watkins etc actually would had costed us to get now in january when chelsea is direct rival for many teams, they aint gonna do any favors for us. Duran would had been 85-90mil for us same for watkins and isak 150m tell me you want to pay that for them?
Not buying "proven" players in January is probably very smart,very rarely do January transfers work out,and they're almost always far more expensive than they should,i like our club, we're smart safe and that's what's needed for these psr rules, still think the squad is top 4-5 this season
Dont agree on this one George. You didnt mention chalobah at all, we brought him back. Disasi out. Good in my books. Only thing i wouldve done differently is keep veiga as backup and keep felix as i think hes better than nkunku (atleast in this chelsea team) would give this window a 7/10 considering its Jan That new CM is probably better than drewsbury hall and will swap with santos come summer.
Hi George I m from India and the distance between india and London is 7481 km. I am sitting 7481 km away from London know that we need a proper striker, a reliable goalkeeper, and a midfielder but the owners and directors of the CFC bloody hell are not aware of that problem.. that really..irritate me😡😡
The stats say that Nico is quicker, but Marc is stronger and will put his body into tackles, headers where Jackson appears to be afraid to do so. Where was the last time we saw Jackson,a so called no 9, win an aerial challenge. I suggest never. When the keeper launches it high he never makes the challenge or if he does he loses it because he’s not really committed. He’d be better off playing on the left, Neto on the right and Marc in the middle.
George stop going in on the player like this he's only young he plays in a completely different position from Santos Santos is a boxer box player This kid is more like a DM and he's only a kid let's just see how he progresses I know your height up with emotion but just take a minute and chill and look at the bigger picture CFC for life JK West London man Good debate
Only a blind person can't see where we are having a problem in our team but those whom we regard as managers of the team can't see this is very pathetic
George - I’m genuinely asking this question out of curiosity. Isn’t it a bad idea to be making big moves in the January window because of limited supply and high demand? ie Higher prices for worse players?
Disagree. We still need a strong experienced striker. There was not enough in the result to support a higher PL position than 7th or 8th. There was a lot of luck in the game fortunately. The Sports Directors continue to buy youth and potential, a policy that is a big gamble unless there is a better blend with experience. WHU parking the bus was to be expected. Don't get carried away by one result which again was a team well below us. Someone tell our defenders and GK to pass back outside the posts as I don't subscribe to Maresca's statement that and his defensive strategy will always bring failures. He's the head coach so eradicate the preventable failures.
Don’t be surprised if these 🤡’s sell Estevao and Santos for a gigantic fee to Real Madrid or some team like that instead of ever using them in the squad…. This is Chelsea FC now…… we are a “feeder” squad where we buy young and sell high…. And keep mid players to stay top 7 with some euro games….. we are no longer the trophy seeking machine we used to be……
You didn't have to shit on this kid. i get the point youre trying to make, but he's our new signing, he hasn't even touched pitch, and already you've created this negative narrative around his arrivila. its videos like these that rival fans weaponize against our players, coz we make it okay to do so. He looks great, i've watched the highlights. he's a paul pogba prospect. He could be good for us.
We don't need a striker please people stop saying that, Jackson is sometimes frustrating to watch, but people forget how fucking young he is ,he is 3 years younger than Isak,and isak 3 years ago isn't that much better if at all compared to Jackson right now Stop bitching and support our players
shameless, why not look at chelsea 8 past games rating and talk about the fact that palmer has a worse rating than jackson? i'm very disapointed everytime i watch this guy talking such BS. he's full of recency bias and biased against players.
Guys, Chelsea is gone, commenting here is wasting of data and wasting of time as well, because our comment here cannot change anything, everything about Chelsea have changed, and i can tell you again, Chelsea is gone, loaning our quality players and we are buying players trash confusion everywhere at Chelsea.
I believe this is 14 transfer windows (give or take the transfer ban) that we've gone through without addressing a striker need since offloading Costa. And no, I dont rate Jackson as our number 1. How can this be acceptable??
Winter signings often overpay so not overspending, even if for positions that are needed, might be the responsible thing to do, I’m wondering could these offloadings be for PSR and/or FFP compliance

However, looking at how we've operated over the last 2 windows tells me that is probably the case.
The last 2 window can mainly described as "PSR dancing":
Over the summer
- got Felix to allow us to sell Gallagher (after failing to do a swap with Villa for Duran & Gallagher)
- got Kellyman to allow us to sell Maatsen
- KDH's yearly cost offset by selling Golding to Leicester
- Tosin on free to use or likely sell on future
- a swath of youngsters who we think can increase in value (Veiga, Jorgensen, Wiley, Penders)
- cashing in on Lukaku, Angelo, pure-profit Hall
- desperately trying and sell Broja & Chalobah (for pure profit)
- forcing out Chilwell and Sterling (because of high wages)
- try and get Osimhen for 2 packets of foodstamps
There were only really 2 signing to improve the team:
- Neto (who I'm guess we got decent payment terms on)
- Sancho (who was an opportunistic signing, loan and then a low fee compare to his previous hype)
Jan window
- Loaning out under utilised players for loan fees, wage savings and improving future sale value (Veiga, Disassi, Felix, Carney)
- Selling Casadei
- Only buying a young midfielder who we can move send to Strasbourg next summer
We can only hope that after we've weathered this PSR storm, we are able to invest properly in the summer. Obviously making CL football would make a big different in that regard.

- letting Tuchel pick his signings only then to fire him months later (compensation costs)
- Sterling on £325k/week, Aubameyang and Koulibaly high salaries, £75m and a high salary on injury-riddled Fofana
- £21m for Potter and staff, then have to pay to sack them
- The mad January window gambling that we could qualify for CL by spending big: expensive Felix (loan), Mudryk and overpaid for Enzo Fernandez (he's doing well now but we definitely overpaid)
(second season)
- Hiring then having to sack Poch
- Overpaying for Caicedo (great player for us, but could have saved a lot if we didn't let it end up as bidding war with Liverpool)
- Big investment on Lavia with big injury issues
- £39m on Diassi (because of Fofana being injured)

@ Overall and statistically he provided 13 goals and 4 assist in all competition until now. If he was so poor i'm sure maresca would have let him leave instead of Felix but Maresca didn't even want to work with Felix in the first place and that says a lot about him. Felix was brought only for business so we can fund Atletico for Gallagher so we can earn max profit for academy player. If there is any player useless for this team that's definitely Felix. FACTS !
i still cant understand why we didn't recall a midfielder , feel like he's going to be sold or loaned out straight away in the summer
Jackson hasn't proved he's a striker. He's an improvement on Lukau for mobility, but he's still a winger in the striker role. I fear we will suffer for this. Nkunku would be better up front.
Not bringing Ugochukwu and Santos back even though it does not make sense at first, Santos was not brought back because the owners also care about Strasbourg seen as they own that club as well and they want it to do well. Ugochukwu on the other hand just started playing regularly and bringing him back would not be in his interest because he will play less. Felix in my opinion was a buy just to give Atletico the funds to buy Gallagher of us and I personally never liked him at our club. But yes the fact that we did not buy a striker is a big issue.
All in all it was not a perfect transfer window, but I would say it was a 5-6/10.
Nkunku's injury has really messed him up. He is not just the same guy again. Not the person we saw at bundesliga.
He keep passing the ball backwards instead of going forward.
I think its cos hes gay and black
nah man it’s because he don’t get to play as a 10
Either he has no confidence at all, or zero interest in playing for Chelsea. Maybe both?
@@madziaciapko or he just isnt as good as you idiots make him to be. His same level player as werner. Semi decent speed but nothing else, no dribble no finish no anything
@@johannespitkamaki1369stfu man. Calling people idiots cause they have an opinion is a bitch move
We received 5+ mil for each of 2 of our fringe players that get both get very little game time, and signed a promising player for I believe 10-12 mil, so essentially the money for those two loans is reinvested directly into a developing player. Realistically Amougou is just there for cover until Lavia gets back and will pretty much be a like for like swap for Santos next year, KDH will be ahead of him for the time being. We will definitely send him away to Stras next year, Additionally we didnt waste any money on rushing into plugging temporary holes and making more mistakes like previous mid season windows, meaning we can take our time and set ourselves up for proper investment post season. Bringing Trev back is a smart move also, giving us enough cover in defence now, just hope he stays at the end of the season. We get probably at least 500-600K a week off the wage book between Carns, Disasi, Chilly and Felix. I think this is actually quite a smartly played transfer window, maybe it seems underwhelming compared to recent windows since the takeover, but i think putting these players in the shop window for potential future exits, wages off the book, and a cheap prospect paid for almost entirely by loan fees (who's future resell value will only go up) is smart business and leave us in a good place for the end of the season. Providing we still make UCL, I think we will look back at this window at the start of next season and think this was smartly played honestly. Only thing we really missed out on I believe is cover for Jackson (where we do still have Guiu who has consistently looked good and hopefully we see more of now), everywhere else I'd say we are decently covered, should still make top 4, get UCL and be in a position for some big moves come summer. Love the Channel mate, just trying to look at it in a positive way!
Perhaps Amougu has been brought in so that we can loan him to Strasbourg in Santos place next season
Nkunku should never play striker again. Put him in the 10 because he’s inflexible. Palmer is flexible. Palmer on the left, Nkunku behind Guiu and Neto/Noni on the right. Jackson could be super sub after 70 mins.
I don’t care that Maresca didn’t want us to buy Felix, we know the player he is. He still could’ve solved a big problem of ours and helped us win, and he seemed to genuinely want to be here and was excited to come back. Maresca needs to take heat on this one for being stubborn. I wish Felix the best and hope he cooks at Milan for his own sake, even though it’ll be incredibly frustrating when we just use it as a reason to put a higher price tag on him for selling him this summer
The disrespect to CPFC is wild considering they’ve made all our players better that have gone there! Hence all have ended up in the England squad 😂
Nkunku played as a second striker, he drifted from the flank to the box and we had more bodies to cross the ball to.
We can cross if needed but theres nobody to finish basically ever. Even in prime reece and chillwell years there were constant crosses in the box but nobody to hit it in the net.
I understand the sentiments. But lets get real, the directors of football have been immense in the signings and being able to maneuver PSR. This time last year there was a lot of noise about Chelsea getting sanctioned and how the squad was too large. They have weathered that storm by navigating the transfer market smartly. There is no point buying players who are on our B list for huge amounts. In the summer, we will fill the number 9 position. We don't need another GK. There is Jorgensen and the option to recall Petrovic. Santos will be back into the midfield and hopefully a fit Lavia. We need a LB (Backup), and a serial goal scorer. The goal this season is to qualify for the UCL, and we are on track to achieve that. We have won 12 and drawn 7 games out of 24. Next season, a serial goal scorer will change these draws to wins. Right now, the focus should be UCL!!
Neto had gusto helping, unlike Noni James is not giving option
We can’t sell anyone due to the stupid prices we paid, so all are sold at a loss . Great Business
love the videos man, but nkunku is an insanely good player and the lack of confidence isn’t helping. i think there is a solution for him on the left. i truly think it’s maresca not having him in that’s shot him in the foot. over time, w confidence and backing, nkunku>felix.
Bro he's not even listed on the chelsea website as a signing that's how good this midfielder we got poor kid 😂
They’re always slow on announcements
They posted all ins and outs this morning and he's not on there lol
If Chelsea makes the top 5 this season, it's a serious credit to Maresca. If not, he's not to be blamed.
One reason I feel we didn’t sign Garnacho is because Modryks sample B came out negative.
Nah. Sadly it's very rare for that to happen. Modryk is cooked, I'm afraid.
You are so right smh we didn’t want sign anyone at all. We need a striker! And not even 1 was mentioned
Yeah, but i guess wed have to sell someone for actual profit before spending for guys that will cost enourmous money. Imagine if tottenhama was willing to pay 70 for guehi and palace rejected. Just think what duran, isak, watkins etc actually would had costed us to get now in january when chelsea is direct rival for many teams, they aint gonna do any favors for us. Duran would had been 85-90mil for us same for watkins and isak 150m tell me you want to pay that for them?
Not buying "proven" players in January is probably very smart,very rarely do January transfers work out,and they're almost always far more expensive than they should,i like our club, we're smart safe and that's what's needed for these psr rules, still think the squad is top 4-5 this season
The owners are banking on winning conference league to get qualification to europa league. We haven’t got a squad to compete in the champions league!
Gaui is sharper and faster than niko
We don't need additional players. We have to trust what we have. Jackson is better than osimhen at this time.
Fab said Amougou is gonna stay till summer then go to Strasbourg when Andrey comes back
it stupid how chelsea do transfers Veiga ,Felix,Chukvumeka,Disasi out but who come-NOTHING????
Dont agree on this one George. You didnt mention chalobah at all, we brought him back. Disasi out. Good in my books. Only thing i wouldve done differently is keep veiga as backup and keep felix as i think hes better than nkunku (atleast in this chelsea team) would give this window a 7/10 considering its Jan
That new CM is probably better than drewsbury hall and will swap with santos come summer.
Hi George I m from India and the distance between india and London is 7481 km. I am sitting 7481 km away from London know that we need a proper striker, a reliable goalkeeper, and a midfielder but the owners and directors of the CFC bloody hell are not aware of that problem.. that really..irritate me😡😡
Mathis is another bench boy to be sold in the summer
Chelsea striker presence is also a threat for any opponent's defence devoid of performance
The stats say that Nico is quicker, but Marc is stronger and will put his body into tackles, headers where Jackson appears to be afraid
to do so. Where was the last time we saw Jackson,a so called no 9, win an aerial challenge. I suggest never. When the keeper launches it high he never makes the challenge or if he does he loses it because he’s not really committed. He’d be better off playing on the left, Neto on the right and Marc in the middle.
No official news about amougo
Well, it's either you are good in Chelsea or not...I watched is highlights, he has potential and idea...he just needs direction ✅
I'll give 3/10 simply for the outgoings even if they are on loan, hopefully they perform and the team buys them lol
George stop going in on the player like this he's only young he plays in a completely different position from Santos Santos is a boxer box player This kid is more like a DM and he's only a kid let's just see how he progresses I know your height up with emotion but just take a minute and chill and look at the bigger picture CFC for life JK West London man Good debate
Great business, Disasi loan with an option to give him away
Will Enzo bring any of the U21’s into the Main Squad??
Look at the bright side where not Arsenal
Only a blind person can't see where we are having a problem in our team but those whom we regard as managers of the team can't see this is very pathetic
George - I’m genuinely asking this question out of curiosity. Isn’t it a bad idea to be making big moves in the January window because of limited supply and high demand? ie Higher prices for worse players?
We didn't prioritize buying an established striker.
I was waiting for the Nico Jackson Sold video 😭
Geez, Jackson is a good player. He needs a more experienced striker in the team to be his role model and bring competition with him.
@he has been trash
We call it hallucinations 😂😂😂
Disagree. We still need a strong experienced striker. There was not enough in the result to support a higher PL position than 7th or 8th. There was a lot of luck in the game fortunately. The Sports Directors continue to buy youth and potential, a policy that is a big gamble unless there is a better blend with experience. WHU parking the bus was to be expected. Don't get carried away by one result which again was a team well below us. Someone tell our defenders and GK to pass back outside the posts as I don't subscribe to Maresca's statement that and his defensive strategy will always bring failures. He's the head coach so eradicate the preventable failures.
He's not a signing for 'the now'. Leave the kid alone.
Thought was now a data base club that signs players on data stats this kid stats suck 😂
Season is cooked! No top 4 because Nico isnt good enough.
There are few good players in the team, noni should stop starting
U are selling alot of these guys short
Don’t be surprised if these 🤡’s sell Estevao and Santos for a gigantic fee to Real Madrid or some team like that instead of ever using them in the squad…. This is Chelsea FC now…… we are a “feeder” squad where we buy young and sell high…. And keep mid players to stay top 7 with some euro games….. we are no longer the trophy seeking machine we used to be……
The Chelsea ownership is useless ... nothing else that can be said about it.
You didn't have to shit on this kid. i get the point youre trying to make, but he's our new signing, he hasn't even touched pitch, and already you've created this negative narrative around his arrivila. its videos like these that rival fans weaponize against our players, coz we make it okay to do so. He looks great, i've watched the highlights. he's a paul pogba prospect. He could be good for us.
Nico should stop starting
Er you’ve got include your bullshit too George😂🤣😂🤣
We don't need a striker please people stop saying that, Jackson is sometimes frustrating to watch, but people forget how fucking young he is ,he is 3 years younger than Isak,and isak 3 years ago isn't that much better if at all compared to Jackson right now
Stop bitching and support our players
You've got to be fucking kidding mate
shameless, why not look at chelsea 8 past games rating and talk about the fact that palmer has a worse rating than jackson? i'm very disapointed everytime i watch this guy talking such BS. he's full of recency bias and biased against players.
Palmer on the right, NKUNKU number 10, NETTO on the left. FELIX could have played number 9 but we have stupidly let him go
Felix no 9, what are you smoking mate. He would've got killed by premier league defenders
Manchester city will make top 4 Chelsea will finish in 6 or 7 make my words
Guys, Chelsea is gone, commenting here is wasting of data and wasting of time as well, because our comment here cannot change anything, everything about Chelsea have changed, and i can tell you again, Chelsea is gone, loaning our quality players and we are buying players trash confusion everywhere at Chelsea.
I wouldn’t say we dominate anything! It’s all sideways BS passing! All fart and no shit! 🤣
Bla bla bla ... How does all this analysis change anything . Please do eell to tell us something we don't already know George.
Waste of money once again
Another waste of a player good luck chilly
Waste of a good player
D Fofana is back, I think we should give him (and Guiu) a run and Jackson on the wing.
Dastro is injured
Can Mark Guiu be tried in midfield?
I believe this is 14 transfer windows (give or take the transfer ban) that we've gone through without addressing a striker need since offloading Costa. And no, I dont rate Jackson as our number 1. How can this be acceptable??
