Bear 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 need to signal a brand new stopper? Bear in mind them claiming Maresca (via PR) has chosen Sanchez as his primary? Once more, do they suppose we’re silly?
Maresca studied information of each single participant, think about considering that he selected Sanchez as his primary stopper because of that? Maresca desires a stopper who’s assured along with his toes, not somebody who’s assured of mind farting along with his toes. Why would he selected Sanchez? Once more, it’s all face saving.
It’s right that he was pleased to see him and Petrovic in coaching, however Chelsea have all the time been trying to find a brand new goalkeeper these final couple of months.
Filip Jorgensen is now apparently the goalkeeper we’re pushing for, or a minimum of certainly one of 4.
Our information on that is that we have now spoke to Jorgensen via brokers in current days however there have been no provides 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 must be a longtime choice that improves what we have already got, proper? Is Jorgensen that man? I might be mendacity if I mentioned I’ve watched him play loads, however based mostly off all the pieces I’ve heard from individuals who have watched him loads, then I’d have issues 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 degree, and has performed simply 38 senior video games in a high European league. Is that actually the stats behind a brand new primary goalkeeper who ought to be coming on this summer time? And we completely MUST be in search of 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 probability to be. However there’s now speak of promoting/loaning Djordje Petrovic after he had a reasonably first rate season final season growing – however he’s not there but. That is the purpose, we signal gamers who’re growing and never there but. If we transfer Petrovic on and change him with one other unproven choice, we’ll simply be on this identical 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 avoid wasting face on some of those signings you made errors on and UPGRADE them!!
That brings me to the remainder of our enterprise to this point. 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 pieces I’ve been listening to this final week or so. I don’t see any ‘marquee’ names arriving now.
No, we don’t all the time want marquee names and I’m completely all for purchasing sensible – however you want steadiness. Perhaps a few of these new gamers we have now signed grow to be very sensible gems, and I’m not essentially towards any of them actually. We’ve got added some versatile and first rate gamers, fantastic. That’s nice. However are we enhancing the squad we have already got?
We’re spending £19m on gamers like Omari Kellyman who might or might not show to be signing ultimately. However we’re spending hundreds of thousands on gamers who we absolutely know are by no means even going to play for Chelsea, lets face it. Andrey Santos is occurring mortgage once more this season, will he even ever play for Chelsea? I’m undecided. I’m positive he might be spun for revenue although so all gravy, proper? This stuff have a knock on impact although and having all these gamers round is adverse. 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 speculated 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 have now finished to this point this window. Everybody has issues. 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 adverse, however these ideas needed to come out. You will be content material with a signing like Tosin Adarabioyo on a free switch but additionally be involved concerning the total enterprise. You will be cautiously optimistic concerning the season forward but even have extra main issues about total operations. There ought to by no means be by hook or by crook.
I need 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 pieces surrounding my membership proper now. I’m open minded, I’m completely NOT writing us off already this season, I believe we have now some nice gamers in our squad. However we have now 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 perhaps even a left again), then I might be very involved concerning the season forward.
