Interesting on the Arsenal page, the posters asked ED002 for a list of SD's that he thought would be ideal and although he listed about half a dozen, he did not list any of our SD's.


06 Nov 2024 11:39:47
I think it’s outrageous that we have any “SD” within our club let alone more than one! haha!


06 Nov 2024 11:52:44
He didn’t name anybody from United, City or Liverpool either. What’s your point?


06 Nov 2024 12:37:50
What point are you trying to make Billy? He mentioned none from Man City, Man Utd or Liverpool either?

Why do you always look to knock the club Bill?


08 Nov 2024 10:13:13
Wrstside I try and highlight issues that we still face as a club and indeed I see that the media are highlighting some of the issues I have spoken about.

I get it that it comes over as 'whining' however I do it because I care about our club.

I believe that we are building a really useful young team which just needs a few tweaks and also I would say the medical department have been great this season.

Ed002 what's the plan for Gk? Sanchez does not look good enough to be number 1 and is error prone. Are we looking to bring in a gk in January or summer? And are we looking to use Penders next season or will he be loaned? Looks a very good gk. Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - I cannot answer questions about timing - January is a difficult time to buy. The club still has a GK priority.}

Not sure how much RA was involved in those players going but consider the players he brought in compared to the players the new owners have brought in.

Hi Ed, I appreciate the feedback on it. Enzo doesn't seem like he's fully settled at Chelsea, so perhaps a move to Madrid could benefit all parties involved.

Is Tchouameni a player that Chelsea is still interested in right now? I know it was the case in the past, and Tchouameni is a fantastic player. But Chelsea also has Ugochukwu and Andrey Santos already, on top of Caicedo and Lavia. Not sure where they'd all fit.

Hope you're having a good day. And have a nice weekend :)

Ed002 any truth that real Madrid are interested in Enzo Fernandez? Is there any interest in him or chance he leaves? And report they could sell Tchouameni? Any truth and Are we still interested in him? Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Enzo Fernandez (CM) Looked at by Barcelona but most certainly on the 2025 list for Real Madrid who may look to a part exchange involving Aurelien Tchouameni.}


01 Nov 2024 08:07:00
Good news that someone wants him, premier league doesn’t suit him.

Thank you for that, Ed.


02 Nov 2024 20:17:27
Would be a brilliant bit of work by the club to pick up Tchouameni, competition and cover is always needed and to have Caicedo, Lavia, Tchouameni and Santos all competing with each other for those 2 midfield slots would be the envy of every club in Europe.


02 Nov 2024 23:21:11
I feel enzo maybe perfectly suited to Madrid and la liga, and tchoumeni be the physical no6 maresca mentioned few weeks back,


03 Nov 2024 18:45:12
I must have missed the manager saying he wants a “physical No6.”.


03 Nov 2024 21:29:14
He didn't Tom. Todd B made that up.


05 Nov 2024 09:59:16
Actually, Maresca said he preferred Lavia and Caicedo in midfield over Fernandez due to their physicality.

And WestSide, that's not making things up.


05 Nov 2024 19:39:25
Maresca hints that he needs/ wants a more physical number six in the future:

“This season we use Cesare as a holding midfielder, Football is going in a direction where probably in the middle you need physicality player”.


05 Nov 2024 23:27:27
I’ve quoted the comments I hope they are posted in time, , wasn’t made up, he said if after playing casedei DM, barrow or conference league game I can’t recall, is west side of the shed G8? Anyway, wasn’t made up, maresca said it and there’s still interest in tchoumeni so I’d say there is something in it.

Sorry to come back to this thread so late, I'm working abroad at the moment.

Re my points on the academy, think less of the individual players and more of the overall trend. In the last 5 years, the team has won 1 trophy and it was underpinned by academy players throughout. Sure, not all of them played a huge amount, but they were there as reliable back-ups to starters which enabled us to manage the squad. Some were key contributors, like Mount, Christensen and James.

This is what the academy enables you to do. You can rely on players that cost you nothing, to fill in and keep your starters fresh while not needing to pay anything for this value.

Some people are praising Chelsea for having two 11s, one for cups and one for the league. Look at some of the fees we have paid for these players and the value we are getting from them this season. Bear in mind the quality of the opposition:

Joao Felix, £45m, 1G1A in 328 mins
KDH, £35m, 1G0A in 406 mins
Neto, £60m, 2G1A in 656 mins
Sancho, £25m, 0G3A in 343 mins

Thats a total outlay of £265m for 4G5A in 1733 mins this season. Does this represent a good use of money?

Michael Olise, a player we were linked with but chose not to sign, £60m, 6G3A in 684 mins.

Maybe we should have just bought him, properly integrated Tyrique George and Donnell McNeilly from the academy and got roughly the same production for £165m less than what we have spent in the last couple of years?

THAT is what using the academy enables you to do. It ISN'T about having an 11 made up of academy players.

Then, in addition to this, by exposing these players to the first team early on, it convinces others that they have a pathway and a future at the club. If they know that they will get a chance to show what they've got, then they will be more likely to commit to the club and you are less likely to see a Musiala type of talent walking away. And if they don't take their chance, then they are still there to be sold for pure profit anyway!

It really is a win-win situation that the club seems to have completely fumbled with their addiction to transfers.

And NONE of this prevents you from signing an Estevao if you get the chance - if anything this helps because those sorts of players will look at Chelsea and see that they will get a chance to play early on.

I find it truly baffling that people push back against this, and willingly gulp down the idea that all academy players are spoilt brats that are demanding to play first team football at 17.

RBD

{Ed002's Note - Olise was a Chelsea academy player. You need to move on from your misinformed whining.}

West side

Do you honestly believe that ED002 will disagree with ED001 summaries also if Arsenal and Liverpool are going to dispute 2nd and 3rd place that would mean you should be expecting CFC to finish between 4th and 5th not 3rd and 5th.

Ed002 are we interested Christantus Uche.

{Ed002's Note - Christantus Uche (CM/DM/AM) Versatile player who Southampton stepped away from knowing he would not be eligible for a Work Permit for the Premier League. Moved to Getafe in the summer. I am not aware of any approach by Chelsea although scouts attended the game with Barcelona in September to look at a specific player so perhaps they noticed him?}
