Sancho is playing so well right now. Always looks so dangerous on the ball. I think we would be very lucky if we signed him in the summer with pretty much every top club going in for him. You guys think we will get him?

He should be number one target. Homegrown, scores and assists and is one of the best players in the world right now.

sancho is never going to happen wel be lucky to end up with some1 like zaha when was the last time we brought top class players? costa fabregas what 5 years ago.

I agree tbh SuperChels were not a powerhouse no more. We do spend money but on the wrong mediocre ones which is a shame but now a lot of this fan base are happy with mediocrity I. e Tom with Kepa and Jorginho.

Does look like the club are starting to think more about the long term instead of gap fillers (Drinkwater, Zappacosta), so I'm quietly optimistic about the possibility of Sancho arriving. He would look good in blue I think 👀.

Bit of fun. If anyone could improve the squad in let's say four areas which areas would you improve and who with?

Mine would be A New GK (To replace or challenge Kepa, LB, Winger with end product and a Striker.

ST: Raul Jimenez - How underrated is he? He's 28 and he's one of the most complete strikers about. With his age he's be perfect for a few years. If we're looking at spending 50 million on Dembele surely Jimenez would be a smarter option. He's 6'3 a great header and passer of the ball. Him and Tammy would be able to fight it out for number one.

LW: Sancho - Finally our Hazard replacement. Consistent goals and assists from the wing something which Pulisic, CHO and definitely Willian don't do. Think CHO and Puli will add more and get better but it's high time Willian and Pedro leave.

LB: Telles - Perfect experienced left back who can cross just as good as James from the opposite side and he could be bought for about 30/ 40 million. Chilwell isn't it for me I seen him get terrorised against Liverpool and City and his output going forward is nothing to brag about.

GK: Areola - A 6'5 monster between the sticks. Brilliant at catching crosses and not bad on the ball either. There is room for improvement but Lollichon wanted him and he knows his keepers. Currently back up to T-BO at Madrid on loan from PSG he could definitely be wanting a starter spot. He would give out centre backs confidence from corners and crosses again. Keep Kepa as back up and see if that helps him get better if not he'll end up getting loaned out eventually.

Anyway they're my main concerns and areas that need addressing in the squad very interested to find out others.

GK - Oblak ( I can only really think of Leicester who have won the league without a top top goalkeeper )

CDM - guimieres / Tiago Mendes ( defending midfeilder who can cover ground but very very good passes, would be very good BESIDE kante

Forward - Werner ( can play down middle or wide, I’d have him like mane / salah who are wide but always ahead of firminho, always an outlet and hard worker. Lighting fast )

Winger - sancho ( the hazard replacement, 1v1 and has end product and would be good v teams who sit back )
Just the £300 + million lol


Mentions for dembele who’s top class imo, Fernandes who is a goalscorer from midfield which we need, soyuncu who is impressive,

CB - Mings, centrally left sided leader at the back. Could develop into one of the league's best at Chelsea.

LB - Chilwell, tell me a lb that hasn't struggled against Mahrez and Salah/ Trent? Chilwell has fantastic delivery and is league proven.

CM - Martinez (Ajax), will add bite to our midfield, very comfortable slipping further back into defence when our full backs are high up the pitch.

FW - Martinez (Inter), combative and aggressive forward who will press high. Can play off Abraham through the middle or out wide.

24 Jan 2020 19:16:21
Agree on Lisandro Martinez. But Chilwell for 60 million is a joke. Even Leicester fans don’t rate him highly from what I’ve read and I’d rather listen to there opinion who watch him every week.

GK- Ter Stegen. Has flirted with the idea of moving, might be worth a go. I would be OK with Kepa for another year.

LB- Alex Grimaldo. Younger than Telles, 6 assists this season.

Winger- Sancho, no need to defend that one.

Striker- Lautaro Martinez. Being courted by City and Barcelona, has been wonderful for Conte this season. 10 goals and 3 assists this season. Small, but his pace and movement would do well in this team!

O'Nana
Telles
Sancho
Werner.

Raul Jimenez is one very underrated and complete striker.
