Bear 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? Bear in mind them claiming Maresca (via PR) has chosen Sanchez as his primary? Once more, do they suppose we’re silly?
Maresca studied information of each single participant, think about considering that he selected Sanchez as his primary stopper because of that? Maresca needs a stopper who’s assured along with his toes, not somebody who’s assured of mind farting along with his toes. Why would he selected Sanchez? Once more, it’s all face saving.
It’s appropriate that he was comfortable 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 a minimum of certainly one of 4.
Our data on that is that now we have spoke to Jorgensen via brokers in current days however there have been no presents 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 possibility that improves what we have already got, proper? Is Jorgensen that man? I might be mendacity if I mentioned I’ve watched him play quite a bit, however based mostly off every part I’ve heard from individuals who have watched him quite a bit, then I’d have considerations over whether or not he’s that man.
And listed here are some information 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 season? 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 probability to be. However there’s now speak of promoting/loaning Djordje Petrovic after he had a reasonably first rate season final season growing – however he’s not there but. That is the purpose, we signal gamers who’re growing and never there but. If we transfer Petrovic on and change him with one other unproven possibility, we’ll simply be on this identical cycle once more subsequent summer season, and that doesn’t simply go for the goalkeeper division. We’ve signed ‘growth’ uncooked gamers all through the entire squad.
Cease making an attempt 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 every part 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. Possibly a few of these new gamers now we have signed become 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, tremendous. That’s nice. However are we enhancing the squad we have already got?
We’re spending £19m on gamers like Omari Kellyman who could or could not show to be a great signing finally. However we’re spending hundreds of thousands on gamers who we totally know are by no means even going to play for Chelsea, lets face it. Andrey Santos is occurring 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? This stuff have a knock on impact although and having all these gamers round is adverse. Maresca goes to have a MASSIVE squad this season with mortgage restrictions and our struggles to promote gamers. That’s by no means excellent.
That is alleged to be the final window of our 4 window plan to rebuild the squad, and never one fan is actually excited and content material with the enterprise now we have finished up to now this window. Everybody has considerations. 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 count on 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 adverse, however these ideas needed to come out. You may be content material with a signing like Tosin Adarabioyo on a free switch but additionally be involved concerning the total enterprise. You may be cautiously optimistic concerning the season forward but even have extra main considerations about total operations. There ought to by no means be by hook or by crook.
I wish to see our enterprise on the finish of the window earlier than I predict what is 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 every part 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 deal with the obviously apparent points on this squad (a bodily 9 – true striker profile, a one v one winger, an upgraded goalkeeper, and perhaps even a left again), then I can be very involved concerning the season forward.
