🚨 Mauricio Pochettino was open to the idea of signing a striker but has seen both Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson play well on their pre-season tour.

The club is increasingly expected to stick with the options they’ve got with Armando Broja on the verge of returning from a major knee injury.

Jackson is the truth, nkunku is good too

if anything makes Chelsea sign lavia even though it might be late ,just know caicedo saga is over because no time to check time.



personally don't care at this point just want a DM .Then kudus and guehi .


The team is complete,I know say keeper won't be addressed anytime soon so make I no waste my time

I'm just gonna trust scouts on this one ,same people that were writing off £30m Jackson crying for a shiny striker are now jumping on the bandwagon.



If they say caicedo ain't worth £100m ,he ain't worth it,find a cheaper alternative.

after all , expensive signings usually underperform at Chelsea.

Alan Varela transfer to Porto is currently on hold, with varela himself pushing to join porto by not playing for Boca Juniors again.

Porto bid for Varela €22.5m (£19.31m )

This is where hijacking makes proper sense but Chelsea are still looking out for 100m caicedo

22m or 12m 😒, isn't that like his release clause or almost his release clause. Many clubs are interested in him so not surprised, thought Porto was lucky to have gotten him.

Too bad he isn't the "experience" Poch claims to want, could have used his Argentine connects. Alan would have made a wonderful Enzo back up

Unlimited22:
What if Poch plans to move Maatsen up the field the way Harry Redknapp did for Gareth Bale?

He’s already doing that. He has reiterated how playing in different positions is an edge for Maatsen and how he intends to have him in his plans.

Ian finished strongly with Burnley last season, making the Championship team of the season.

He can’t go all the way this season, in the same manner Reece, Mount, Tomori and Abraham did.

it's not like changing from Caicedo to Lavia is as simple as that, not like they are like for like. Going from Caicedo to another type of midfielder na to change the way Chelsea for play. Unfortunate if they haven't scouted a similar ball winner, unfortunate relationship with inter is bad, barella would have been nice or they go for Kessie. Then again both aint DM nor Caicedo.

Honestly Chelsea shouldn't go back with a bid for Caicedo, based on pride, feelings and all, but it's Caicedo, nevertheless not more than £85m (€100m) or we go £35m cheaper and get a different profile Lavia or they end up with Onana for £50m if they don't beat Liverpool and arsenal to him🤣🤣

I feel the reason no team is going for Caicedo is because it's brighton and a foolish decision to extend

Chelsea should bid £81m just to provoke them, then sign another DM the next day

no team is going to pay £100m for caicedo,

one thing about price tag is that it gives fans false sense of security,they believe the bigger the tag the more the player is good.


imagine a £100m player needing a DM to release his full potential 🤷,this not a slander .

another example is mudyrk and trossard .


we are still waiting for mudryk to realize his potential,while trossard is out there banging goals.


The point is not by how much you spend on a single player,but how you can use him effectively.


Go for lavia/onana/fofana leave this caicedo we will be fine

Ballzproblem2:

till Chelsea pays it na
Point is, Caicedo is 21, one of the best DMs in EPL if not Europe, has 4 to 5 more years in his contract in a market that sold 24yr old Rice with a yr left (or 2) for £106m. Obviously he is no Bellingham and £80m is more than fair, that's if Brighton want to sell

Some believe the deal is already concluded £75m +£10m in add ons

We lost 3 CMs/DMs (Kante, Kova and RLC) and these fools are betting the house on just one replacement

Which serious team goes into season with 2 CMs. By now, we should have Varela plus 2 more

Andrey, Casadei and Emeka


That's why we need one more at least with more experience.

no team has everything everytime. if Chelsea do no get a world-class dm, pochetino should solve the problem to prove his world class level.

Ferguson won epl with young and sometimes low level players etc. guardiola moved stones to dm and still win cl, poch should show his tactical quality and adjust. if na me be boehly sef, I go purposely no buy any expensive dm to see the coach so called quality and player management ability. abeg the coach should find a solution to the problem anyhow. we are not paying 100m for caicedo.

Amrabat/Varela = more experience

But then Casadei and Emeka are CM and not DM.

Exactly that's why expensive signings flop at Chelsea.

Pressure to perform to at the level of price tag.

That's impossible without a defensive midfielder,we all saw it in Brighton game that's why Chelsea are desperate now.

Chelsea are not serious because what does 100m caicedo has that Varela doesn't or is it the price tag no wonder they always scam Todd boehly.

guardiola plays stones in dm. did city not win cl and epl with stones at dm? it's possible and pochetino should adjust tactically.

Chelsea is different from Mancity and this is just pochetino first season at Chelsea.

simple solution 4231. kepa, chillwell,badiashile,Silva/fofana,james,colwill(dm)Enzo,murdryk,nkunku/casedei,sterling,Jackson. or 433. kepa, chillwell,badiashile,Silva/fofana,James,colwill,Enzo,casedei,murdryk,nkunku/Jackson,sterling/madueke.

how? is pochetino not playing pressing game like guardiola?. pochetino is new to Chelsea true. but is he new to epl?

Matsen should be kept at all cost, his type can change the game when we are behind.

When did the above players become DMs?

So even ChukwuEmeka na DM now?

Lauren James

Back into the starting lineup, back on the scoresheet

that's like converting a lb to a winger, a CB to a DM and the like abi and still win games

lol you posted something like this here, even if it's true. You want make them stone you

You said DM/CM

Plus Poch is playing a double pivot. Andrey has excelled so far as the deeper player.

BlueAngel444:

He is already doing that with Maarten and cucu, nevertheless we need a ball winning DM and Caicedo fits that profile of player.
