Keep in mind all of the PR from weeks in the past saying Robert Sanchez and Djordje Petrovic had been the goalkeepers for subsequent season and Chelsea didn’t wish to signal a brand new stopper? Keep in mind them claiming Maresca (by PR) has chosen Sanchez as his primary? Once more, do they assume we’re silly?
Maresca studied information of each single participant, think about pondering that he selected Sanchez as his primary stopper because of that? Maresca desires a stopper who’s assured along with his ft, not somebody who’s assured of mind farting along with his ft. Why would he selected Sanchez? Once more, it’s all face saving.
It’s appropriate that he was completely happy to see him and Petrovic in coaching, however Chelsea have at all times been looking for a brand new goalkeeper these final couple of months.
Filip Jorgensen is now apparently the goalkeeper we’re pushing for, or at the very least certainly one of 4.
Our information on that is that we’ve got spoke to Jorgensen by brokers in latest days however there have been no affords or something agreed at this level. Sources say there are ‘fairly a number of’ goalkeepers we’re exploring. So as soon as once more, I’ll chorus from giving my full reactions to this till it turns into an actual potential transfer.
But when we’re signing a brand new goalkeeper then fairly merely it needs to be a longtime possibility that improves what we have already got, proper? Is Jorgensen that man? I might be mendacity if I mentioned I’ve watched him play rather a lot, however primarily based off all the things I’ve heard from individuals who have watched him rather a lot, then I’d have considerations over whether or not he’s that man.
And listed here are some info to again that up. Jorgensen is 22, by no means been capped at senior worldwide stage, and has performed simply 38 senior video games in a prime European league. Is that actually the stats behind a brand new primary goalkeeper who must be coming on this summer time? And we completely MUST be searching for a brand new primary by the best way, not somebody to supply competitors to Sanchez. I’m not saying Jorgensen wont find yourself being good and naturally, I’d give him each likelihood to be. However there’s now speak of promoting/loaning Djordje Petrovic after he had a reasonably first rate season final season creating – however he’s not there but. That is the purpose, we signal gamers who’re creating and never there but. If we transfer Petrovic on and substitute him with one other unproven possibility, we are going to simply be on this similar cycle once more subsequent summer time, and that doesn’t simply go for the goalkeeper division. We’ve signed ‘improvement’ uncooked gamers all through the entire squad.
Cease attempting to save lots of face on some of those signings you made errors on and UPGRADE them!!
That brings me to the remainder of our enterprise up to now. I’m ready to see what occurs the remainder of this window, sure, however I’m even now actually involved about all of that after all the things I’ve been listening to this final week or so. I don’t see any ‘marquee’ names arriving now.
No, we don’t at all times want marquee names and I’m completely all for getting good – however you want stability. Perhaps a few of these new gamers we’ve got signed change into very good gems, and I’m not essentially in opposition to any of them actually. Now we have added some versatile and first rate gamers, nice. That’s nice. However are we bettering the squad we have already got?
We’re spending £19m on gamers like Omari Kellyman who might or might not show to be a superb signing finally. However we’re spending tens of millions on gamers who we totally know are by no means even going to play for Chelsea, lets face it. Andrey Santos is happening mortgage once more this season, will he even ever play for Chelsea? I’m undecided. I’m certain he can be spun for revenue although so all gravy, proper? This stuff have a knock on impact although and having all these gamers round is unfavorable. Maresca goes to have a MASSIVE squad this season with mortgage restrictions and our struggles to promote gamers. That’s by no means preferrred.
That is imagined to be the final window of our 4 window plan to rebuild the squad, and never one fan is really excited and content material with the enterprise we’ve got completed up to now this window. Everybody has considerations. What if we fail once more this season after 4 switch home windows? Will heads roll? Why have they invested a lot religion in these main all our switch enterprise and negotiations? If we fail this season, then I hope they know they’ll anticipate the complete wrath of the fan base on their backs, as a result of for me, the reasons then run out.
I’m sorry to be unfavorable, however these ideas needed to come out. You could be content material with a signing like Tosin Adarabioyo on a free switch but in addition be involved in regards to the general enterprise. You could be cautiously optimistic in regards to the season forward but even have extra main considerations about general operations. There ought to by no means be come what may.
I wish to see our enterprise on the finish of the window earlier than I predict what is going to occur this season. However the above points I’ve spoken about actually have me feeling involved and as soon as once more, simply very miffed about all the things surrounding my membership proper now. I’m open minded, I’m completely NOT writing us off already this season, I feel we’ve got some nice gamers in our squad. However we’ve got but to enhance on what we have already got, and if we fail to deal with the obviously apparent points on this squad (a bodily 9 – true striker profile, a one v one winger, an upgraded goalkeeper, and possibly even a left again), then I can be very involved in regards to the season forward.
