As you’ll know, I’ll typically take an ‘on the fence’ strategy as a result of typically in life I’m simply very balanced in my ideas and opinions, and that carries over the soccer as nicely.
Feelings can at all times get the higher of me within the second, however I’ll at all times attempt to see each side and search for stability the place I can. So that is why you’ll typically see me sat on the fence about some issues, not all issues, under no circumstances, however typically I can’t name it both manner so I’ll perch myself on the fence. Nothing improper with that in any respect, in fact.
However I’ve observed on this neighborhood, it isn’t typically that general we take that stance. We regularly choose a facet and again our opinions on it. We regularly sit on one facet or the opposite of that fence, with only a few sitting on it.
However with the striker state of affairs at Chelsea proper now, we’re very a lot all sat on the fence and actually, I believe the fence is about to fall down because of the weight on it!
Yesterday, I requested you all whether or not you’d be joyful IF, and it’s nonetheless a giant if as a result of Chelsea are nonetheless contemplating a brand new striker this summer season and have been engaged on Hugo Ekitike from Frankfurt, Chelsea don’t signal one other new striker in addition to Liam Delap this summer season and we go into the brand new season with him and Nicolas Jackson as our striker choices.
The outcomes are as follows:
48% are on the fence
21% can be fairly joyful
18% wouldn’t be too joyful
11% not joyful in any respect
2% very joyful
In order you possibly can see, we simply don’t know, and I suppose that’s as a result of solely time will inform. Delap continues to be a bit uncooked, Jackson is Jackson and we all know his strengths in addition to his massive weaknesses. Delap has the potential to bang nevertheless it’s additionally a little bit of an unpredictable state of affairs.
I don’t know if that’s a superb factor or a nasty factor at this level? I really like Delap, however I can’t say I’d be too assured going into the brand new season with simply him and Jackson as our striker possibility I’ve to be sincere and clear about that.
However on the similar time, I’ve a variety of perception in Delap and do hope he proves me proper and cancels out these fears!
