Last season was disaster, many rival fans laughing and cheering when we kena sanction and going through takeover and transition period. but it only gets better from here.
Optimistically top 6, but seeing other teams fumbling quite a bit, I'd say top 4 is there for the taking
This feels like sweet revenge

Olise release fee claused already triggered by Chelsea 😳👀
Of all the players they signed, I think caicedo the most ready to perform, but that 115m price tag may put lots of pressure on him, biasa la, perform in other club, come to chelsea suddenly dunno how to dribble a ball
Players with top potential, not yet top player
Must go to poch football school and see if can turn world class or not

this season macam all big teams got major injury on their important players or suppose new important players including us look like whoever can keep their player fit throughout the season have an advantage.
Cheap cheap one, I think okay la. Farming for future (and for Chels-bourg).
Hopefully we don't keep going into bidding wars like Caicedo case, but he does fill up an important role for defense and to free up Enzo.
I am curious why Enzo is labeled as DM? Did he play and perform as DM previously despite how we plan to use him now as a playmaker?
Aiyo, cannot wait for the coming game to see how we perform with our 200m (or almost 300m with Lavia) midfield.Â
When hes in agrentina world cup winning squad he play as CAM and sometime CM. Even MacAllister play behind him as DLP. Hes way more effective that way.
Possibly 3 midffielder. 2 holding Caicedo & Lavia/Gallagher and Enzo Ferrari as CAM.
gg Chukwameka and the rest. Probably just benchwarmer on chelsea luxurious bench
I think this Chuwameka is bought as RLC replacement. Utility player. RLC shifted out as he already reach his peak and advancing years.

chuwameka direct replacement for rlc.
he is a HG too. lavia also HG although he was born at belgium but he was city academy graduate. i think sanchez is a HG too since he was their u-18 keeper. inkambing olise was a chelsea academy player too.
these three are bonus additional to fulfill HG quota after RLC and mount left us.
They laughed when we spent 600m and fell to 12th spot and says money cannot buy success and fell out of European games. They cried foul play when we started offloading our players to Saudi but started to keep quiet when they too sold some players to Saudi. They tried to outbid us and thought people will choose them because they were "better prospect." Then they will cry and moan when we spent 1b and raise to the top and say we bought our success and was because we weren't playing in Europe and had better focus.
Team rebuild is now complete in my case.
I am not really seeing Chukwuemeka's contribution at the moment. Or at least in the game against Liverpool, didn't really noticed him and his purpose on the pitch but I noticed Gallagher more (losing the ball in tight areas but also winning the ball and making perfectly timed tackles). Hope Poch sees his strength to keep him or else, other teams saw his qualities and want to bid higher price for him, like 50-60m pounds. Then our books for this year is even more in the green for FFP. Come on West Ham, we know you got money after you finally woke up from a daze and pull out of Maguire deal. I wonder if Liverpool would swallow their pride and ask for Gallagher and whether we would let him go to Pool? It would be a real slap for Gallagher as he made it very clear that he wants to stay.
Crystal Palace pissed that we activated Olise's release clause? Harlow, it is a release clause. Clever guy/agent to prevent another potential case like Caicedo.
Now only Wednesday. Never had I ever felt a week's time was so long until our next game.
they only see what we spend and buy but forgot what we sell and how much
If we compare this transfer windows net spending only, they will keep quiet about their spending much more net spending compare to us.
Dunno Boehly got cystral ball or pure lucky, majority buying all done last transfer windows before the Saudi open their big cheque books this transfer windows buying up whatever & whoever want to come.
If Boehly start buying this transfer windows, all price will jack up for sure for all players we brought previously or at least will encounter price war due to limited young quality players availablity

You may wonder if Boehly got the crystal ball but Boehly could have been the one gaslighting and kickstarting the whole mass purchasing process. He went over there to chitchat with Saudi about something, if I remembered correctly.
Ya, they might not realised we actually sold more than 200m pounds in this window.

haha... if not by luck and by his pure talking.. then other clubs better beware as this is just starting

I think idea is to get in new players that can fill the core team that will play together for 7-8 years to come, instead of rebuilding every 2-3 seasons
Then every season scout and find hidden talents and bring in to chelsea, send to academy, send for developmental loans, assess and see if perfect for first team then integrate, if not loan or sell
The new players they brought in are without doubt talented, it's really right in poch's alley, who loves developing young players. Excited to see how poch will develop them
