Bit disappointed in the news or rumours of nkunku considering options as being a back up / bit part player. Brilliant player, I'd say our best finisher actually, but his not getting ahead of Cole palmer and isn't a winger or a no9. I'd imagine he has plenty of options I just hope he stays and gets game time and sticks around.

If true, it's a big shame Todd B.
Nobody likes playing 'second fiddle', espically good players and I would imagine he won't be the last to be unsettled this season.

I can understand the “second fiddle” argument but it’s very likely that we will play well over sixty games this season including the WCC. I can see Nkunku playing more than 30 of those games. Football squads are changing in my opinion and while certain players apparently want playing time guarantees, I’m pleased that as a club that’s something, as far as I know, we have never given a player.

The problem with Nkunku is that he is a bit of another Havertz type player, still not sure what his best position is as I don't see him as an out and out number 9.

Players will always come and go. Not sure if it is just papers and lazy journo's putting stories out there but either way if he goes we will replace him. As whitey said he is not really a 9 and is mainly competing with Palmer for the 10 role. If he does go Gyokores or Osminhen would be a nice replacement and they are proper 9's to compete with Jackson. That said, I really like Jackson and don't want to see him unsettled. Lovely to be sitting 3rd in the table talking about how to improve the squad though. What a difference from last season.

I also really like Jackson West Side and you’re right what a difference this year has been finally the feel good factor has come back to Stamford Bridge. Can’t believe only 3 points separates 3rd to 11th. Think the obvious position to improve is a goalkeeper and if were being ruthless a centre half to partner Colwill.
12 Nov 2024 20:10:49
The difference is the attitude of fans, we are 3rd and 3 points of being 11th, if we were 11th there would be nothing but negativity and no mention of only being 3points of 3rd
We saw few glimpses, the gusto chance and fofana chance from crosses. Those crosses would be goals with a osimhen or gyorkeres, Jackson isn’t crashing the box or competing for those type headers where those two mentioned hang back and love to go for them front or back post
Few murmurs KDH and Felix both becoming frustrated with lack of time,
15 Nov 2024 12:46:15
KDH was a really strange signing and hopefully he moves on soon. Just not at the level we require.
15 Nov 2024 12:57:11
International break so lots of rumours because journalists have to have a story!
19 Nov 2024 08:05:21
Agree eest side KDH.

Whyteleafe I really don't think even colwill is ready for Chelsea at this time. We need defenders who can defend. Thought tosin would have been pairing with colwill for being English not being better than the others. Sanchez is average at the best which will cost us in big matches due to little details. Striker if nkuku is leaving, cb and a goalkeeper to challenge for tittles.
22 Nov 2024 15:36:15
What on earth has a player being “English” got to do with anything?
23 Nov 2024 12:07:33
He’s better than a sub unfortunately it will bite enzo in the arse in the end as he will go we really require a world class forward but his love for Janet up front will stop strikers thinking of joining.
28 Nov 2024 04:51:29
I wonder if Enzo's wife knows he's in love with Janet!
29 Nov 2024 15:00:50
Love it Kiwi!
