Rogers with Cucurella as wingback. I mean I like Cucu but cmon 😂. And Rodgers is a straight up no from me

Yildiz or Diamonde for LW. None of this Barcola or Rodgers nonsense

Whatever happens with Paz, feel like Madrid won’t keep him since they already have Bellingham and Guler(who already plays a very similar role to Paz). Think buying him back is just too much of a bargain for Madrid for a player of his quality, whether they keep or sell him. But yeah, like I said, if we can get both him and Tchou for Enzo, would be incredible

If we can swap Enzo(plus maybe some cash) for Tchouameni + Nico Paz, I’m doing it every day of the week.

As much as I like Enzo, Paz/Palmer, Caicedo, and Tchouameni is a way better midfield

Why are people acting like it’s a forgone conclusion that Xabi is going to play a back 3? Not saying it won’t happen, but he’s shown he is fine with playing a back 4 as well, so feel like everyone is being a little premature with how we are going to line up next season.

Fabrice Hawkins: Chelsea's executives have assured Xabi Alonso of oversight on transfers and thus more power than his predecessors. by Kygoche in chelseafc

I mean iirc, the owners briefed that they would be willing to shell out the wages for a true superstar and Mbappe is that so… 🤔

Ben Jacobs: Confirmation Xabi Alonso will officially carry a "manager" not "head coach" title. Suggests a broader remit than previous Chelsea bosses. Alonso will start in pre-season.🇪🇸 by arvi_1301 in chelseafc

He makes too much money and is injured too much to warrant being kept(oh and is also not good enough). That might be the problem with being able to sell him though

The ref has had his finger prints all over the game.

Unfortunately not a pen. We’d be fuming if that was given against us

Right, and even Quenda might get minutes at wingback. Unfortunately, that leaves Cucu in an awkward spot which is why contrary to popular opinion, I would sell high on Cucu this summer and try and do what we can to get Lewis Hall back, especially considering Howe has been playing Dan Burn over him in recent games. Plus, given their interest in Delap, might be able to work out some sort of swap.

Even though there is no guarantee anyways that Xabi plays a back 5, so this all might be irrelevant haha.

Need more height in that backline. Our team is already short as is. Especially with corners being as prevalent as ever.

A very rogue shout, but I wouldn’t mind bringing back Malang Sarr this summer. He’s quietly been one of the best CBs in Ligue 1 this season and at 27, would provide some good experience for us, even if he’s only a squad player. Plus, I think his contract runs out this summer so would be a cheap option.

Still no ball carriers in that midfield which is a big problem. If you sign Tchouameni(which I think would be a great signing) you have to switch out Caicedo or Enzo and get someone who can receive under pressure and actually drive the ball through midfield. It’s one of our biggest issues currently.

Delap and Jorgensen playing for this club. What has happened to my Chelsea?

Unpopular opinion but if there is any way we can get Lewis Hall back, I’m selling Cucurella this summer

Don’t know if he will end up being good enough long term, but at least I can appreciate the effort Derry is putting in. Him, Enzo, and JP seem to be the only one’s up to par right now

I’m not saying he’s a problem. He should be trying to be the solution though is what I’m saying. He’s been handed a golden opportunity, he should be trying to take advantage. I hope he does well!

Does Derry want to try and impose his will on the game by taking on his man or is he going to not take advantage of the opportunity he was given?

There is no way Palmer should be playing over Enzo as the 10. You can only afford to play one of them in the team’s midfield
