Genuinely think he can achieve anything and he looks sharp as ever and he’s still in recovery mode. The one thing I would point out though is that he is still a young guy who will be erratic at times, personally think he excels when next to a calm partner or in your case partners. For us if he lined up next to soyuncu id always be a little worried we’d be in for a scary day. But if you sat him next to thiago silva and kolou you would probably have the best cb combo in the league. He has the ability to charge forward and make things happen and he’s the type of positive defender you’d want when facing a low block. he’s not the tallest but he has an incredible leap, he could easily get some good returns if you can take a set piece. But of course we all hope that we stay firm on this for at least one more year. but back to RLC… he’s the exact type of signing i’d like us to avoid in truth. I’d rather have the cash and find some uncut gems, but i’ve never really rated him… but what’s worrying is he is the type of neat and tidy player brendan might like. I don’t think he’d be interested in joining us but I’d dream of ziyech… as a fan base we’ve been begging for him for years… he was going to be our mahrez replacement but it never materialized. its a mystery why he’s never had enough of a consistent run for you as he seems to pop up with goals and assists when he does play. Yeh i dont doubt hes worth 100m. Everytime vs us hes unreal and stands out so much. same with the other top teams. Really rate him so highly and really hope this gets done over gvardiol regardless if hes cheaper i rate fofana so high, not that i'd be dissapointed with gvardiol but ive got very invested in this transfer As for ziyech he excels as a rw, we play with two IF's behind the 9 so he can never get out wide enough - whenever we've played a back four which isnt very much we normally see his best but overall hes very inconsistent and alot of hit and hope type balls that are waste and never come off - think bruno fernandes like. His attitude seems questionable and body language is awful alwways seems disinterested and is best mates with lukaku off the field - we all know how that went so it probably affected his performances. His heads in milan clearly wants to spend more time off the pitch with his pal lakaka than play football Edited 2 August 2022 by Fergus2222 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Posted 2 August 2022 Author Share Posted 2 August 2022 Okay, one issue with multiple player swap deals that no one has highlighted. 1. We have a high wage bill. Adding swap deals for players from ChelseaX isn’t going to make that any better. 2. We have a bloated squad. We need to shift 5 - 6 players. Not add more in, therefore causing us more of a headache with FFP. 3. We need a centre back if we sell Fofana, not a midfielder where we are stacked already. No one at the club seems to want to talk about signing a right sided player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 2 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 2 August 2022 It still winds me up that everyone else seems to be feeder clubs for the big 6, and we’re expected to bend over on command when they come knocking.

Can only see fabrizio’s tweets being liked now maybe you can see other stuff to me of course wes may be doing this to ensure the chelsea faithful think that if he doesn’t go there this summer, it isn’t necessarily his call. being the saddo that I am, I looked back to September 2020 and lil wes (as he was back then ) was actually liking Lcfc official tweets (re cags and vards and training) some weeks before he signed. Can’t see things he deleted obvs. So maybe we only get concerned when he starts to like Chelsea club tweets!

JimJams Posted 2 August 2022 Share Posted 2 August 2022 I think sometimes too much is made of liking tweets and such. After all when a tweet is highly complimentary then naturally a player is going to like what he reads ... "Wes fofana is awesome. Best young defender in the world. Reminds me of Baresi or Maldini, honestly think he'll go on to become one of the best defenders of all time. Definitely worth £100mill or more..." Player clicks 'Like'. "...Would Iove it if we signed him." Fans lose their shit on either side focussing entirely on the last line which the player didn't even read. Parent club explains how that looks to said fans. Player unlikes post. Fans still lose their shit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you seem to just base all of your predictions off of what journos are saying, so you aren't in the know and you definitely have no idea what it would take for our lot to sell.

If I’m an agent, I’m telling my man to make sure he keeps clear of all social media whilst the process is ongoing. Don’t click on anything of course this might tell us that wes has been told he isn’t being sold whatever the offer and therefore he can click away because it won’t affect anything ??

StanSP Posted 2 August 2022 Share Posted 2 August 2022 I think I'll start to worry when any mildly reputable source starts saying that Fofana has said to the club that he wants to move.

We also then need to bring in 2 new centre backs instead of 1, unless you want us to keep Vestergaard. Also like if maddison goes, we are unlikely to get the same quality in, so become weaker. Plus other clubs will be putting prices up because we have just got 80 million in, and after bringing in 2 centre backs , possibly for inflated prices, the money left probably wont leave that much leftover for a decent right winger. Not to mention the squad numbers are still going to be too high without getting rid of a number of players that we currently can't get rid of.
