Chelsea have lacked objectives and purpose scorers just lately, that has been clear to see. And a few even debate that we lack a real quantity 9, particularly with the Pierre Emerick Aubameyang state of affairs. And to be sincere, it’s a a little bit of a priority.
Fabrizio Romano addressed it completely this morning actually.
“I feel it’s not stunning that Chelsea will discover marketplace for new striker, Aubameyang will depart they usually solely have Broja,” Romano stated.
“Nkunku will not be a quantity 9, he’s most likely going to play behind the striker. Nevertheless it’s not too early to know for certain what choices Chelsea will make on who’s going to be the appropriate candidate.”
He’s bang on as effectively. However ought to this have even been addressed in January? I feel it might need gone just a little neglected because of the Enzo Fernandez pleasure and insanity. However maybe we do/did want one. Midfield was all the time rightly a precedence and I again that.
On the opposite aspect of that, we nonetheless collectively as a workforce don’t take sufficient photographs. We persistently attempt to cross it into the online. This was one of many many causes that Enzo Fernandez was so refreshing on his debut, he really takes photographs and is an effective finisher.
Whether or not that is one thing that must be coached or whether or not it’s in a participant’s thoughts, is up for debate. Nevertheless it’s most likely a little bit of each.
What does give me some confidence although is the early indicators we noticed from Joao Felix. This boy was hitting photographs regardless on his debut, and he was very unfortunate to not rating.
I haven’t seen a Chelsea participant take this many photographs for years. He was a breathe of recent air and possibly he might be our reply to the shortage of a real quantity 9, at the least in a goalscoring sense.
After all, Felix will not be a 9 both. However possibly if he’s taking part in he can at the least get nearer to Kai Havertz and take among the burden off him as a lone 9.
However I do consider we would find yourself regretting not getting a real quantity 9.
There’s one factor you may suppose I’m forgetting right here, and that’s the addition of David Datro Fofana. Granted, he’s proven some good indicators, and possibly the membership have simply put their belief in him to be that quantity 9? Possibly we glance again at this in a month or so and marvel why we had been even debating not signing a quantity 9.
Let’s hope that does play out to be the state of affairs. Nevertheless it’s additionally clear he’s nonetheless uncooked, so it’s a danger. Let’s hope although, that between him and Felix, it’s a danger we don’t find yourself actually regretting.
