Keep in mind all of the PR from weeks in the past saying Robert Sanchez and Djordje Petrovic have been the goalkeepers for subsequent season and Chelsea didn’t wish to signal a brand new stopper? Keep in mind them claiming Maresca (by means of PR) has chosen Sanchez as his primary? Once more, do they assume we’re silly?
Maresca studied information of each single participant, think about pondering 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 comfortable to see him and Petrovic in coaching, however Chelsea have at all times been trying to find 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 information on that is that we have now spoke to Jorgensen by means of brokers in current days however there have been no presents or something agreed at this level. Sources say there are ‘fairly just a few’ 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 must 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 loads, however primarily based off every little thing I’ve heard from individuals who have watched him loads, then I’d have considerations over whether or not he’s that man.
And listed here are some details 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 basically the stats behind a brand new primary goalkeeper who needs to be coming on this summer season? 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 discuss 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 are going to simply be on this similar 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 thus far. 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 little thing 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 getting sensible – however you want steadiness. Perhaps a few of these new gamers we have now signed transform very sensible gems, and I’m not essentially towards any of them actually. Now we have added some versatile and first rate gamers, effective. 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 very good signing ultimately. However we’re spending tens of millions 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 undecided. I’m certain he will probably 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 excellent.
That is speculated 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 we have now executed thus far 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’ll anticipate the total wrath of the fan base on their backs, as a result of for me, the justifications then run out.
I’m sorry to be destructive, however these ideas needed to come out. You could be content material with a signing like Tosin Adarabioyo on a free switch but additionally be involved in regards to the total enterprise. You could be cautiously optimistic in regards to the season forward but even have extra main considerations about total operations. There ought to by no means be somehow.
I wish 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 every little thing surrounding my membership proper now. I’m open minded, I’m completely NOT writing us off already this season, I feel we have now some nice gamers in our squad. However we have now 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 possibly even a left again), then I will probably be very involved in regards to the season forward.
