Chelsea haven’t been messing round within the slightest this January switch window, and the speed that they’ve been doing this large squad rebuild has stunned everybody, particularly myself!
I’ve been completely amazed by how fast Chelsea are rebuilding this squad, at the very least by way of arrivals.
Outgoings will clearly must be labored on subsequent in addition to different actions to maintain on prime of FFP, but it surely seems like nearly all of that may occur in the summertime now. However by way of constructing a brand new tremendous workforce, we’re so near having that now, and January has been completely loopy for us.
The brand new homeowners and recruitment workforce have been ruthless in getting fine quality new signings within the door, and I’ve been tremendous impressed with this. As I’ve mentioned from day one and can proceed to say, I’d by no means be totally pleased till/except we addressed the midfield, but it surely seems like we might or might not lastly do this in these final two days of the window with a heavy onslaught for Enzo Fernandez from Benfica as soon as once more.
IF we pull this off, it will likely be THE greatest switch window by any membership within the historical past of soccer, with none doubt in any respect.
IF we get Enzo performed, our rebuild will probably be near completion. In the summertime, we might solely want so as to add for me, a goalkeeper, one other centre midfielder, and probably a real quantity 9. Then we’re performed and set for years and may go to sustainable recruitment, shopping for to switch, and shopping for good.
I’m adamant that this workforce might at the very least make an honest push for UCL locations, and particularly contemplating the depth we might additionally nonetheless have and injured gamers returning. I’m not saying Enzo will get us into the UCL, however he definitely provides us a a lot better likelihood and I might not put a wager on towards this workforce turning it round within the second half of the season.
I’m buzzing about this rebuild and absolute props to the homeowners for doing it at this pace, a fee of pace that I by no means imagined, and I don’t suppose anybody else did both.
