Arsenal officially announced the signing of
Petr Cech yesterday and Manchester
United may seal Morgan Scneiderlin ‘s deal
before the end of the week. Liverpool are
also busy signing every Southampton
player they can lay their hands on
But Chelsea are a bit passive and pensive
in the transfer Window . Why is it so? By
this time last transfer Window, Chelsea
had already signed Costa and Fabregas.
But it is different now as we only heard of
Cech departure as the active transfer news
at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea lack of activities can also be
explained by the lack of activities in Real
Madrid and Barcelona and even Bayern
Munich. Though tge difference in quality
between Chelsea and Barca and Madrid is
huge, but very few players can improve the
first 11 at Chelsea and they are not
available.
Who will improve Courtois, Terry, Cahill,
Ivanovic, Asplicueta, Matic, Fabregas,
Willian, Hazard, Oscar and Costa? Very few
players can.
Not even a Griezmann or a Lacazzette. But
a Bale, Aguero, Pogba, Ronaldo and Messi
will improve Chelsea but (appart from
Pogba) they are not available at any price.
Pogba can displace Oscar. But he is not too
better than Oscar and yet he is too
expensive for a position that do not need
to much of an upgrade.
So we see Chelsea buying squad players in
this transfer Window so that players like
Hazard and Co can have a rest from time
to time.
That’s why we expect a Bogovic and a
Falcao as Cech and Drogba’s replacement
and maybe a Pogba just to upgrade
Oscar’s position and also give Matic some
rests. If Pogba doesn’t come, we expect
another defensive midfielder. We also feel
Chelsea will promote Luftus Cheek and
Betrand Traore.
What do you think?
