Hearing sterling saying he will be Chelsea highest goal scorer feels like mockery.

Sterling should go on loan to league one and come back after retirementπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
If he can do that there won't be any need to throw him away. We need serous minded players this season.

Lavia, Enzo and Caicedo is a formidable midfield. I used to pray for midfield like this, regardless of the bitter taste in my mouth over the cost
Yeah Caicedo price is too much but he is quality and hungry.

Touches in opposition box una

Wetin concern DM and CM with that one


Only issue here is the aerial duels, which isn't that bad sef.... Seeing as we have Silva, Colwill, Badiashile and Disasi who are all 6 feet and over(Silva is the shortest at 6ft flat).
That's also why we signed Ugoo bekee, who's 6ft 3in (my height lol)

One of Andrey, Emeka and Sungballagher will have to leave shaa but that's okay.
Our midfield depth is scary and looks sorted out for the next few years if these guys live up to their potential. To think we still have Santos, Casadei, emeka, Lesley and that talented Ecuador boy that holy boehly signed earlier this year. I see few reasons why we can't be competing again for the premier league and champions league by the 2024 transfer window.

Ugo is going on loan, Gallagher will be sold

That leaves Enzo Caicedo Santos Lavia for the 2 double 6 positions and Chukwuemeka for 3 man midfield. That's 5 midfielders that's pretty much enough for EPL and Carling cup/FA cup.

Out of that 5, Caicedo and Chukwuemeka are okay aerial, Santos as well, even Lavia but the they have to improve aerially along with Enzo.

The issue with having just CBa that are good aerially is if they lose the aerial duel it less room behind for an attack to be 1v1 with the GK.

I feel Lavia replaces Gallagher in a three man midfielder, instead of being central, Caicedo could play central with Enzo on the left and Lavia on the right. If Caicedo isn't playing then Lavia Enzo and Emeka (box to box and defend against aerial passes). My opinion, let's just see who Poch would pick in the 25man squad and how he lines up.

My opinion is based on that a Liverpool player said they thought Chelsea would line up 433.

It's just that next summer Ugochukwu(or Santos) and Casadei would be back from loan. Hmm πŸ€” till then.

don't need to go far back to 2017. Didn't Poch use Veratti Gueye Paredes Herrera Pereira in double 6 or 3 man midfield, later replaced Herrera with wijnaldum. He may look to repeat such tactics in Chelsea.

Nkuku is not a natural top striker, we need another 9. Broja should go on loan, he is not ready yet to do 25+ league goals.

Our major problem that I can see is, putting the ball at the back of the net. We are creating plenty of chances but still don't know how to bury them. I am not against Olize, but we need another natural striker, so that pressure of scoring won't kill this young Jackson.

if we send broja out,who will assist or rest Jackson?
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Nigeriagood(m): 8:49pm On Aug 14, 2023
Emaprince:
That Jackson I see will be a waste if there is no better striker and a scorer partnering him.

He does the job of holding off markers expertly but he is not a good finisher. The one time he turned and tried his luck at goal was just pathetic. He can't shoot properly. He might only score through poaching..but I don't see him scoring from a distance or placing home, a nice volley.

If he continues to be the point man, I dont have any hopes of we scoring much. Maybe sterling can partner him in the box.
sterling partner WETIN ahh my head oo

Hmmm. If you really feel this way, that means there is cause for optimism. You pride yourself on midfield awareness.

Let's hope this translates into reality.

Meanwhile can you give me an actual update on Ukraine's effort? Like how are they really faring in the war?

my happiness with this lavia and caicedo deal is not just what they'll offer ,they bring stability in the midfield allowing inexperienced young players to make mistakes and get better.

most importantly free Enzo.
