Chelsea haven’t been messing round within the slightest this January switch window, and the speed that they’ve been doing this large squad rebuild has shocked everybody, particularly myself!
I’ve been completely amazed by how fast Chelsea are rebuilding this squad, no less than by way of arrivals.
Outgoings will clearly have to be labored on subsequent in addition to different actions to maintain on prime of FFP, however it seems like the vast majority of that may occur in the summertime now. However by way of constructing a brand new tremendous workforce, we’re so near having that now, and January has been completely loopy for us.
The brand new homeowners and recruitment workforce have been ruthless in getting high quality new signings within the door, and I’ve been tremendous impressed with this. As I’ve mentioned from day one and can proceed to say, I’d by no means be totally completely satisfied till/except we addressed the midfield, however it seems like we could or could not lastly do this in these final two days of the window with a heavy onslaught for Enzo Fernandez from Benfica as soon as once more.
IF we pull this off, it will likely be THE finest switch window by any membership within the historical past of soccer, with none doubt in any respect.
IF we get Enzo completed, our rebuild might be near completion. In the summertime, we might solely want so as to add for me, a goalkeeper, one other centre midfielder, and doubtlessly a real quantity 9. Then we’re completed and set for years and might go to sustainable recruitment, shopping for to interchange, and shopping for sensible.
I’m adamant that this workforce might no less than make a good push for UCL locations, and particularly contemplating the depth we might additionally nonetheless have and injured gamers returning. I’m not saying Enzo will get us into the UCL, however he actually offers us a a lot better probability and I’d not put a wager on in opposition to this workforce turning it round within the second half of the season.
I’m buzzing about this rebuild and absolute props to the homeowners for doing it at this velocity, a fee of velocity that I by no means imagined, and I don’t suppose anybody else did both.
