Real Madrid in the UCL is different vibe than Laliga. of coz real madrid slipped up here and there in laliga but in UCL they are unstoppable before they met city.

we can cherish the good memories that we have on our last UCL win but City gonna be latest English club to win it under Pep, first time in their history.

with our current form dont ever think to get even 1 point from Ettihad. Unless Pep saja want to troll Arteta and he chose to use youngster which i think very unlikely.

since the season is already end so here is the list of players that should go because we need to trim our squad.

Out.

Pulisic
RLC
Baba Rahman
Malang Sarr
Bakayoko
CHO
Ziyech
Azpilicueta
Koulibaly
Cucurella
Lukaku
Mendy
Gallagher

In
Nkunku
Lavia


Any striker that can score 20 goals per season at least.

We have a nice spread of HG in order to adhere the regulations of EPL. We didnt have european competition next season so not a problem for us.

Noni Madueke
Levi Colwill
Reece James
Ben Chilwell
Armando Broja
Mason Mount (given he stays with us)
Raheem Sterling


Romeo Lavia --> cheap version of Caicedo. Although he did made a mistake vs liverpool last night but he is decent dm and a HG too. we should try to fight the market by buying him since Soton already relegated.

Ugarte is a decent choice for a true number 6. im not sure if he will come cheap.
lavia for sure will come cheap as Soton need the money after relegated.

to think of it if we really need to sign players for the future why not go for Giorgio Scalvini or Antonio Silva as backup CB.
Thiago Silva is not getting any younger. Koulibaly is out of the frame. He is not suitable for EPL.

Currently we have Badiashile, Fofana, Silva and Colwill as our centerback. Scalvini and Silva under 23 still not yet fully achieved their potential but they can fight for their place if they given their chance.

both will not come cheap. plus we didnt have any european competition to attract both of them.

lavia is more realistic choice. if can throw in alex scott from bristol city might even better. both below 20 years old. can be train to HG (train at the club).

a top class striker is needed.

Let's look at the current squad that we have right now.

Kai Havertz - he is not in and out typical no 9. i still dont know what is his best position. when chelsea use 4-3-3 he is not fit into this formation. i see his best should be the traditional no 10 like mata but with slightly lesser passing ability. he can hold the ball and set up his team mate. he will flourish if poch use 4-2-3-1.

Armando Broja - this fella is still very young. plus he is coming back from serious injury. for sure his ability diminishing a bit and i guess the best option for broja is to go out on loan. maybe to a bundesliga club where he can show case his skill and nail the first eleven.

Datro Fofana - this fella is very young too. got the touch and the ability but still not proven enough to fill the position as main striker. most probably will go out on loan as well. if any premier league club interested with his service i think we should send him on loan.

Romelu Lukaku - What more can we say about this guy? dude is 100kg. he got the strength, maybe not so fast but fast enough to adapt in the EPL. but his love for inter milan distracting him too much. I honestly think we should give him third chance. maybe third time lucky? but poch need to thread carefully with this guy. maybe need to hire a psychologist to ensure his mind is right on track. but once he "buat hal" i guess poch should sell him immediately. but i doubt if any club could afford his salary demand.

Who should we bought?

Any striker that can score 20 or more goals per season, proven striker.

Dusan Vlahovic, Victor Osimhen, Ivan Toney ( now serving ban though), or we can bring back tammy abraham from roma because we got buy back clause iinm.

Osimhen will not coming to chelsea because we dont have european football. tammy abraham will likely came the second we call him. he have the unfinished business at chelsea. he is HG too (train at the club before 21).

all the recruitment need to conclude fast to avoid panic buy and to avoid losing to other clubs. if we wait to loan/sell our squad player than the target might be gone to other clubs.

need to act fast so poch can implement his system during the pre-season. avoid panic buy at all cost.

to wait for poch first day reporting is like forever.

no interview, no press conference, no statement from him yet because of his still somehow related to PSG. Fucking hell.

at least we would like to hear his first press conference and his plan for this club.

bye2 the old guard.

out RLC, Kante, Kovacic, Mount.
in Casadei, Andrey Santos, Caicedo***

stay enzo, gallagher.

todd boehly negotiation skill is not as skilled as mommy marina granovskaia.

desway always kena buli. chukwuemeka salary 100grand weekly despite being 18 -19 years old. wtf man?

to be frank we can be optimistic. we got young blood that eager to impress.

armando broja
andre santos
cesarei cesadei
malo gusto
levi colwill
callum hudson odoi
lewis hall
connor gallagher
datro fofana
mykhaylo mudryk
noni madueke
benoit badiashile
ethan ampadu
ian matsen.

sure, all of these players will not get the first team opportunity but they can be sold. this is always how chelsea operated all these years.

exactly my point as above.

we can aways sell these youngsters.

but i can tell some is better than our current first team for example lewis hall and ian matseen should start before cucurella.

colwill, badiashile, fofana should be the back bone of our defence.

broja already got epl experience under his belt and his chance was limited due to acl injury. he is a good player whilst at soton last time.

ampadu, cho, can be sold. might get 50m from these 2 can add to fund caicedo or lavia or manu kone or even kephrem thuram as midfielder.

i reckon ian matseen should extend his loan at burnley and see how he cope with epl experience. some player dont make the cut in the EPL after flourishing in the championship.
or he can go loan to other club such as la liga, serie a or even bundesliga just to play and the experience to play at the highest level.

somewhat i agree with you.
to sell the players that we think cannot make the cut in chelsea.

however chelsea is a victim of want to buy club put high price want to sell club bid lower.

the ball is not in our hands. we desperately need to offload our players so other clubs will bid lower price. they always knew that they can find other target if we rejected their bid.

looks like david raya to spurs.

if we really want to get onana i hope mendy and kepa should go. slonina can used as backup keeper or cup keeper.

koulibaly getting interest from inter as well.

the talk with ac milan for RLC seems cooled off?

according to fabrizio romano yes. nothing is concrete yet.

havertz is the new snake replacing cortouis.

chelsea told kai to renew contract or get lost. he chose the later.

yes. typical mercenary. plays like shit all season, cannot compete ucl which seems all player ambition due to shit position in the league, quit the club went for glory at other club.
sounds like a snake for me.
