I’ve to confess that I’m fairly dissatisfied that it’s now wanting more and more possible that Chelsea is not going to have signed a brand new defensive midfielder earlier than the Liverpool sport.
I’ve been giving them the good thing about the doubt as a consequence of figuring out how complicated the deal to signal Moises Caicedo has been, and nonetheless is. And to be sincere, I’m nonetheless giving them some good thing about the doubt proper now and sticking to my pledge that I cannot be judging the squad or our window till I see the completed article when it’s closed.
However having stated that, going into our first sport towards Liverpool with solely two senior/skilled midfielders who can play within the six function, is much from adequate.
I’ll say right here although, that possibly Chelsea do nonetheless get a midfielder in earlier than Liverpool and I do know that that is what they’ve been pushing to try to do that week. There’s nonetheless time. However realistically, even when we do get one in now, is it totally superb that they arrive in have one or two coaching periods, and get thrown straight into the combination with new workforce mates towards Liverpool? I’m undecided. However I suppose it might nonetheless occur so I’ll chorus from any actual annoyances right here, regardless that I do stay pissed off and anxious that we’re but to signal a DM.
We’ve recognized that that is our most urgent place since final summer season, so actually, it’s fairly poor that we haven’t acquired one in but.
I utterly get it, we’re going all in for Caicedo and it’s been a sport of poker and a tedious negotiation. Chelsea try to get one of the best deal attainable, and Brighton have been severely powerful in these negotiations. I perceive it, I actually do. However even my persistence might be examined if we go in to this Liverpool sport with Andrey Santos, Enzo Fernandez, and Conor Gallagher being our solely choices to play within the pivot, truthfully.
I nonetheless consider we are going to signal Caicedo, and I’ve remained affected person with it as a consequence of it being such a giant deal and Brighton demanding a really excessive price. However beginning off the Premier League season effectively is essential, and we’re SO near having an honest squad right here and one that would get off to an excellent begin. However I consider to try this we nonetheless want these 3-4 extra signings this window, and on the time of writing, we aren’t any nearer to getting them and we’re simply 4 days off our sport towards Liverpool. We lastly have an excellent supervisor, so give him the instruments to do the job!!

I’m one of many extra optimistic and optimistic Chelsea followers round, I prefer to at all times try to be as balanced as attainable. However even I’m beginning to get involved with our present squad and the way it seems to be proper now. I do know this is not going to be the tip squad, and we now have a couple of weeks left of the window. However each Premier League sport now could be essential, and profitable a sport or shedding a sport might actually be the distinction of two or 3 extra additions to the squad being right here or not.
That’s my concern. I’m ready to attend and choose the window on the finish, but when we don’t get our signings accomplished till then, how badly will it impact our performances within the league till then? That’s the greater than truthful query that I’ve proper now and that issues me.
