No I don’t think so , if we don’t sign a decent dm/Cm

the defence will still be exposed whoever Is laporte’s partner and our keeper ain’t the best shot stopper,

the team needs freshening up , its gone stale , teams aren’t afraid of us or combing to the Etihad . We will be lucky to finish top 3 if we don’t sign a decent dm/Cm , left back and a forward we will he just a shit as this season gone

You don't half talk some shite. It'll be us or Liverpool again his year with the rest at least 10 points further back.

Ederson is an excellent shot stopper and made some crucial saves last year. His couple of mistakes he makes get magnified as he has so little to do. Same with the defence who were second best in the league conceding only 2 goals more than Liverpool.

As for forwards you do realize we've had the best frontline for about 4 years now despite the media claiming the Liverpool frontline is the best ever.
 
How is this an upgrade on Marcos Alonso? Chelsea fans take Alonso for granted. I don't think they rate him but technically he's better than Chilwell. City conceded 35 goals in the league but Chelsea conceded a monumental 54. Is that a problem with personnel or coaching? I like Frank Lampard's demeanour but that's a terrible statistic.
 
Speaking of stats; not hugely impressive.

Good player and for £50m they've improved a problem position. Alonso sprints forward but walks the other way.
This lad is similar type of full back to Leighton Baines.
 
Many commentators will be talking about Chelsea's window and the players they have brought in and may bring in but remember the farcical way their season ended. Their defending was even worse than City in Pep's first season. And they've yet to address it.

Managers like OGS and Lampard have to produce this season. I think CFC have decent defenders individually but collectively they had some diabolical games at the end of the season that would have embarrassed the manager. Perhaps they think that they don't need to buy to improve. I know they're buying Chilwell but it's central defence that was the problem. If you think we were bad, they were far worse.

He's a decent player, def the pick of the English left backs. But for that kinda money, you're better off looking at the kid Hernandez at AC Milan.

The difference between Chillwell & Zinchenko, for the way City play, isn't even worth talking about.

I used to think I'd reluctantly have Chillwell, if nothing else was available, because Zinchenko is so non existent & uninspiring, But watching him closely in recent times I can't see one single thing he offers, above average, other than being English.

I thought their individuals were tragically bad tbh. Christiensen used to look a good prospect.
 
They need defending overhaul for sure.

IF they do get Stones, Thiago Silva, Ben Chilwell thats a strong transfer window. And they already did really well imo with Werner and Zijech if they add Havertz wow...
Stones they will try loan or some very low 20m fee unfortunately imo.

Huge mistake if we allow Stones to potentially help a team over here imo.

If he gets his shit together he's absolute top class. If he doesn't he's still better than anyone elses 4th choice cb.

Yep, I think they have a change to fight for the title next season.
 
For 50m I don’t think that’s too bad.young English left back as well.

he’s better then Mendy for me. Chelsea need a centre back and a keeper. Pope was mentioned -he’d be class
 
The time to sign him was after the youth cup games against us in 2015 - there’s no value in signing him now, especially as his ceiling will simply be ‘good’.

Antonee Robinson has just gone from Wigan to Fulham for £2m - we should have signed him, and even loaned him out for the season to develop in the Premier League; very good homegrown leftback who’s got more ability than Chilwell, and will likely be moving on for at least 10x that amount over the next couple of years.
