Keep in mind all of the PR from weeks in the past saying Robert Sanchez and Djordje Petrovic had been the goalkeepers for subsequent season and Chelsea didn’t wish to signal a brand new stopper? Keep in mind them claiming Maresca (by means of PR) has chosen Sanchez as his primary? Once more, do they suppose we’re silly?
Maresca studied information of each single participant, think about pondering that he selected Sanchez as his primary stopper because of that? Maresca needs a stopper who’s assured together with his ft, not somebody who’s assured of mind farting together with his ft. Why would he selected Sanchez? Once more, it’s all face saving.
It’s appropriate that he was completely satisfied to see him and Petrovic in coaching, however Chelsea have at all times been looking for a brand new goalkeeper these final couple of months.
Filip Jorgensen is now apparently the goalkeeper we’re pushing for, or no less than certainly one of 4.
Our information on that is that now we have spoke to Jorgensen by means of brokers in current days however there have been no provides or something agreed at this level. Sources say there are ‘fairly a couple of’ goalkeepers we’re exploring. So as soon as once more, I’ll chorus from giving my full reactions to this till it turns into an actual potential transfer.
But when we’re signing a brand new goalkeeper then fairly merely it needs to be a longtime choice that improves what we have already got, proper? Is Jorgensen that man? I might be mendacity if I mentioned I’ve watched him play so much, however primarily based off the whole lot I’ve heard from individuals who have watched him so much, then I’d have issues over whether or not he’s that man.
And listed below are some info to again that up. Jorgensen is 22, by no means been capped at senior worldwide stage, and has performed simply 38 senior video games in a high European league. Is that actually the stats behind a brand new primary goalkeeper who ought to be coming on this summer time? And we completely MUST be in search of a brand new primary by the best way, not somebody to supply competitors to Sanchez. I’m not saying Jorgensen wont find yourself being good and naturally, I’d give him each likelihood to be. However there’s now speak of promoting/loaning Djordje Petrovic after he had a reasonably first rate season final season creating – however he’s not there but. That is the purpose, we signal gamers who’re creating and never there but. If we transfer Petrovic on and exchange him with one other unproven choice, we’ll simply be on this similar cycle once more subsequent summer time, and that doesn’t simply go for the goalkeeper division. We’ve signed ‘improvement’ uncooked gamers all through the entire squad.
Cease attempting to avoid wasting face on some of those signings you made errors on and UPGRADE them!!
That brings me to the remainder of our enterprise up to now. I’m ready to see what occurs the remainder of this window, sure, however I’m even now actually involved about all of that after the whole lot I’ve been listening to this final week or so. I don’t see any ‘marquee’ names arriving now.
No, we don’t at all times want marquee names and I’m completely all for purchasing sensible – however you want stability. Perhaps a few of these new gamers now we have signed change into very sensible gems, and I’m not essentially in opposition to any of them actually. We have now added some versatile and first rate gamers, superb. That’s nice. However are we bettering the squad we have already got?
We’re spending £19m on gamers like Omari Kellyman who could or could not show to be signing ultimately. However we’re spending hundreds of thousands on gamers who we absolutely know are by no means even going to play for Chelsea, lets face it. Andrey Santos is happening mortgage once more this season, will he even ever play for Chelsea? I’m unsure. I’m positive he can be spun for revenue although so all gravy, proper? These items have a knock on impact although and having all these gamers round is destructive. Maresca goes to have a MASSIVE squad this season with mortgage restrictions and our struggles to promote gamers. That’s by no means ideally suited.
That is purported to be the final window of our 4 window plan to rebuild the squad, and never one fan is really excited and content material with the enterprise now we have finished up to now this window. Everybody has issues. What if we fail once more this season after 4 switch home windows? Will heads roll? Why have they invested a lot religion in these main all our switch enterprise and negotiations? If we fail this season, then I hope they know they will anticipate the complete wrath of the fan base on their backs, as a result of for me, the justifications then run out.
I’m sorry to be destructive, however these ideas needed to come out. You may be content material with a signing like Tosin Adarabioyo on a free switch but in addition be involved concerning the total enterprise. You may be cautiously optimistic concerning the season forward but even have extra main issues about total operations. There ought to by no means be come what may.
I wish to see our enterprise on the finish of the window earlier than I predict what’s going to occur this season. However the above points I’ve spoken about actually have me feeling involved and as soon as once more, simply very miffed about the whole lot surrounding my membership proper now. I’m open minded, I’m completely NOT writing us off already this season, I believe now we have some nice gamers in our squad. However now we have but to enhance on what we have already got, and if we fail to handle the obviously apparent points on this squad (a bodily 9 – true striker profile, a one v one winger, an upgraded goalkeeper, and possibly even a left again), then I can be very involved concerning the season forward.
