I’m getting sick to demise of scripting this, however my religion is being utterly drained out of me but once more by the choice makers at this membership.
I hold attempting to maintain myself calm and ready to see if it really occurs, and I’ll nonetheless chorus from totally going all in on this one. But when Chelsea signal Jhon Duran as our new quantity 9 even for £30m, Chelsea followers are going to be completely livid.
The stress the membership are underneath even after hiring an underwhelming and unproven new head coach is large. Followers are actually going to be ready for pitchforks for the homeowners and sporting administrators if this fails. And now you’re telling me we need to signal Duran as our new striker to steer the road for £40m?? PLEASE make it cease.
I’m so bored with writing that we’d like PROVEN high quality added to this squad. Why on earth would we even take into consideration including one other younger and uncooked striker to compete with the younger and uncooked striker we have already got on the membership? You recognize, the one who we totally threw within the deep finish to steer our line alone final season when he’s clearly uncooked? Whoever thought, ‘I do know, lets add one other uncooked younger striker with Jackson’ is an absolute clown.
This squad is filled with younger, uncooked, and inexperienced gamers. But we’re utterly ignoring the manifestly apparent want that this squad is lacking – QUALITY EXPERIENCE. Many pundits and former Chelsea gamers who I actually respect have additionally been saying this all season, as have just about all the fan base. However Chelsea’s SD’s know higher, proper?
I’m not right here to slate Duran. I don’t assume he’s a foul participant in any respect and has luggage of potential. However signing him for the charges being quoted can be completely ABSURD. This squad is crying out for a confirmed striker to steer the road. Why on earth we’re even desirous about signing Duran for that position is past perception.
Durán is seemingly not in Unai Emery’s long-term plans, and he has began solely three league video games since becoming a member of Aston Villa in January 2023. Who’s taking a look at that and considering he’s the reply to our want for a brand new quantity 9? They need to be sacked on the spot. Not in Emery’s long-term plans however in Chelsea’s? OK.

Duran has performed for Envigado, Chicago Hearth, after which Aston Villa. He’s scored simply 8 targets in 49 appearances at Villa, and 26 in 130 appearances in his entire profession thus far. Chelsea want a PROVEN goalscorer, he’s not that but and that’s only a FACT. There’s additionally doubts about his perspective, I’ve heard this too myself. It’s a part of the explanation Emery isn’t eager on him apparently. That doesn’t bode nicely for me both.
Sure, he may come good. Sure, it would show to be a good signing. Sure, it is likely to be one other Cole Palmer. However the threat is simply too huge. The necessity for somebody to come back in and bang NOW is much higher than the allowance to take one other threat. This lot need Champions League qualification subsequent season and a trophy, on the very least. But they instill an inexperienced and unproven supervisor, and apparently need to signal an inexperienced and unproven striker. Make it make sense.
They may signal any prime up and coming younger participant and try to say he may come good and is likely to be one other Palmer. I don’t care about that. I don’t care about who could or might not be good. We want gamers who’re good NOW. And please, let’s not begin saying that any younger participant we signal could possibly be one other Cole Palmer, as a result of it might additionally simply be one other Cesare Casadei who we’re apparently now open to promoting this summer season, or one other David Datro Fofana too, who’s in the identical place as nicely.
If Duran is available in, I’ll again him and be totally behind him, as I might be for any participant we signal. He can have my full assist and I might be prepared him to succeed right here. It’s not his fault Chelsea are allegedly ready to take yet one more MASSIVE threat with the way forward for our membership.
How am I alleged to again a board and choice makers who transfer like that? I actually can’t. Sorry.
Let’s simply hope they see some sense right here and again out of this obvious transfer for Duran and usher in not less than a confirmed choice. I’m taking Dom Solanke over Duran (possibly not for the £60m launch clause and I’m positive we are able to negotiate decrease if he desires to depart). I’m taking Julian Alvarez possibly even for £70m over Duran. I imply, we’d as nicely drop the additional £30m for him proper? If we’re prepared to spend £40m on Duran, we’d as nicely drop the additional bag and usher in a extra confirmed striker, no? That’s too smart I assume.
Let’s see how this performs out. We would not even get Duran. And if we do, we’d pay a lot lower than £40m. However as you’ll be able to inform, this information has actually obtained to me, and I do know it has to a lot of you too. We merely should voice our views on this and make them hear us. It’s all we are able to do. I don’t like over reacting at rumours alone, but when we don’t voice our opinions on these rumours after which they find yourself taking place, getting our view throughout will then come too late.
