Look, Mathys Tel I believe is an excellent participant and has an enormous future forward of him. However he’s simply 19-years-old and stays comparatively unproven. I’d completely like to see him arrive at Chelsea so long as we signed the right striker profile in addition to him. I’d not be complaining about signing a participant of his expertise in any respect, and sure, we do want a left-sided attacker with the Mykhailo Mudryk scenario up within the air. However that can wait till the summer season.
Nonetheless, if there is a chance to get Tel now in an unofficial swap deal for Christopher Nkunku, then I’ve no dramas with that in any respect. Go do it, however PLEASE nonetheless go and signal a striker as nicely. I’m NOT have that Tel goes to be our striker we usher in and that’s that.
Tel is a large ahead, he’s extra of a left winger than a striker. We now have that in Nicolas Jackson. We want a DIFFERENT profile to problem Jackson and provides us an alternative choice. We want a FOCAL level up high to goal for. We want somebody to carry onto the ball, link-up play, and BULLY centre backs. Tel isn’t that. He’ll assist us with targets, for certain, he has a fantastic capturing method and might rating some superb targets off the left.

However please, I’m NOT accepting that is our new striker possibility, IF that occurs. Go and discover the suitable profile to usher in. I’m not listening to any excuses on this one. I don’t need to hear that ‘there simply isn’t the alternatives round or the supply.’ You’ve had FIVE switch home windows to discover a appropriate striker profile, not only one month. Come on, man.
