And for god's sake get a proper LW who can dribble and isn't slow as fuck.

If you play a double pivot, Pedri needs to be sold.

 

[El Gato]

Cucurella quickly into top3 of worst signings Chelsea ever made it seems

Still better than Balde

I said we need an AM, but he is too old, and past his best. And for the money... pass. we should look at players about to enter their prime, to bring some needed speed and intensity in this team.

Ok I wa sure you were all in for him being player needed not long ago. Maybe not.

Agreed on pace but also physicality needed.

He doesnt.

Pedri would be class at AM and will score more once settles there if was to.

There are different ways to play a double pivot also and freedom give one/both to get forward depending on what game needs.

 

[DonAK]

Not sure whether Pedri has those qualities or not, but he had some experience playing as the most advanced midfielder for Las Palmas. Not the biggest sample size though.

Either way this club need to lose the idea of trying to replace Busquets with a like-for-like player and play with a single pivot.

lol, that shot

Chukuemeka kid looks impressive.

Is Stones a little bit underrated? Always goes under the radar.

Because of his blunders. He does them far too often for a top class defender.

He's a good player but can have some of the worst mistakes you'll see at the worst possible time.

A 2014 Rakitic type would be good. Could do with striking it lucky by scouting a gem for low fee.

Otherwise I’m certain it will be Neves.

Yeah but he's usually solid inbetween them. Pep trusts him a lot it seems.

Neves is decent, but not really top class material. He's not gonna solve the position, but is gonna improve the team for sure.

 

[fergus90]

Stones has turned a corner to be fair. He was close to being sold in 2020, wasn’t making the squad and Pep played Eric Garcia with Fernandinho for a period.

He came back a different player.
