Questions for all the fans/ posters and ed,
Do you think poch warrants another year?
For me yes because it feels finally like something is building and clearly the players have a bond with him.
Who will leave this season?
For me sterling, badiashille or disasi, neither are good enough, and id be tempted by an enzo bid he just reminds me of jorginho all over again, sanchez
Who would i like to sign?
Diogo costa
Guehi
Gibbs white
Solanke/ sesko/ boniface any of them 3
the reason for solanke is i feel like hed be a great rotation player with jackson, he's really grown on me jackson id hate to see us sign oshimen and see jackson on the bench for half the season nect year
Gibbs-white his energy and style would suit us far more than someone like enzo
Guehi i think he was another mistake we let go, i think his history with the club and his maturity now would be great for the dressing room and maybe hel show just like galagher and chalobah and colwill and james etc what it means to be a chelsea and i think solanke also fits that mould
Diogo costa would be an upgrade on what we have id keep petrovic and id play him in all the cups and europa league
1 wild card signing
Michael olise
An unbelievable talent another player whod trive in this team play him off the left maybe? so many options and hard to see were signings would even fit in now that our squad is finally recovering
All the above we probably don't even have interest just players id like to see personally at the club
Also 1 last thing, why the would we sell maatsen? get him back and sell sick note chilwell.

Poch, I want Poch to be our manager at the start of next season.
Maatsen, that ship looks to have sailed but we may well regret it. Anyway I thought Hall was a better prospect.
19 May 2024 10:52:43
I don't think hall done anything to prove he's a better prospect than maatsen tom
Its a real shame to sell someone like maatsen and them scamper around the market and over pay for someone whos not better.

I just think he was a better defender and more importantly he could play as a midfielder. If we continue with this inverted FB (not a fan) shape he would have suited it perfectly.
19 May 2024 11:52:28
I agree Poch about Maatsen, shame he never really got a chance at LB. I could never really understand why Poch played him on the RW during pre-season. I do understand his concern for lack of height in the side so maybe that is a factor?
19 May 2024 12:21:11
I think the height thing at FB could be a reasonable call. I also think Cucarella is marginally better
In the air than Chilly and of course James is better in the air than Gusto.
I think we have a dedicated defence coach coming in and it will be interesting to see if that improves our defending of set plays.

I’d sign Messi, Chiellini and Buffon. Sell Cech, Ballack and Ivanovic.
19 May 2024 19:32:33
Poch sorry but I disagree with all your proposed additions. You mean if you are asked to bring a striker that will improve us you will choose solanke and even don't fancy osihmen. May we never have the decision makers at Chelsea to reason this way.
19 May 2024 21:44:36
I didn't pick oshimen simply because I don't see us as attractive to him, i see psg written all over oshimen, but obviously if we were to go crazy an sign him i wouldn't complain,
its ok to disagree with me the 1s mentioned above are purely speculation and maybe picking ex chels players with my blinkers on??.

Poch, I’m was bit of a Osimhen and Napoli ageing groupie. So much so I went over to Naples hoping to get a ticket for a game and then celebrate with the fans when they won the league.
Osimhen looked unplayable last season but hasn’t looked as good this season on the league and he was bang average in the AFCON tournament.
I was totally convinced he would sign for us at the end of this season but now I doubts as it now looks as if he could be going to PSG. I would still like us to sign him but I to admit I’m not as convinced about as I was.
19 May 2024 23:56:10
Either way im very excited with or without oshimen tom we will thrive as a club with this young group.

I don’t think Poch is a winner but from what we’ve been linked with and how he’s turned it round I think it’s fair to give him another season. We seem to be clicking now injured players are returning although I think the injury situation will need assessing as to what is going wrong players getting injured all the time or is it Poch’s methods?
I would do my upmost to keep Trev and Conor and only bring in a few players. A new goalkeeper, top centre back, left back and striker. Bulka, Bastoni, Robinson and Sesko would be my choices regardless of interest or not. Sesko is a presence in the area which is what we need Jackson doesn’t have the aerial ability yet.
As for outgoings Maatsen and Hall are basically already out the door. Try to finally shift Kepa along with Sanchez. Ziyech, Lukaku, Sterling, Chilwell (too injury prone) would be my choices.
