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 need to signal a brand new stopper? Keep in mind them claiming Maresca (via PR) has chosen Sanchez as his primary? Once more, do they assume we’re silly?
Maresca studied knowledge of each single participant, think about considering that he selected Sanchez as his primary stopper on account of that? Maresca desires 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 happy to see him and Petrovic in coaching, however Chelsea have all the time 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 latest 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’d be mendacity if I mentioned I’ve watched him play rather a lot, however primarily based off all the pieces I’ve heard from individuals who have watched him rather a lot, then I’d have considerations over whether or not he’s that man.
And listed here 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 must be coming on this summer time? And we completely MUST be on the lookout for a brand new primary by the way in which, 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 to this point. 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 all the pieces I’ve been listening to this final week or so. I don’t see any ‘marquee’ names arriving now.
No, we don’t all the time want marquee names and I’m completely all for purchasing good – however you want steadiness. Perhaps a few of these new gamers now we have signed turn into very good gems, and I’m not essentially towards any of them actually. We’ve got added some versatile and first rate gamers, wonderful. That’s nice. However are we bettering the squad we have already got?
We’re spending £19m on gamers like Omari Kellyman who might or might not show to be an excellent 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 undecided. I’m positive he will likely 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 ultimate.
That is presupposed 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 performed to this point 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 reasons then run out.
I’m sorry to be destructive, however these ideas needed to come out. You will be content material with a signing like Tosin Adarabioyo on a free switch but in addition be involved in regards to the general enterprise. You will be cautiously optimistic in regards to the season forward but even have extra main considerations about general operations. There ought to by no means be by some means.
I need 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 all the pieces 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 will likely be very involved in regards to the season forward.
