3yrs if Kane and watkins retires early, solanke continues his poor form and other players don't come up. I don't know if delap has such potential to lead this competitive England squad

He will eat Watkins food. Only Kane retirement is needed which should be after the next World Cup

Realtord43:
Delap doesn't excites me

We need a proven striker

I don't see any differences here to be honest.

that's why Chelsea need a Victor and jackson should not stay

Enzo5:
palmer that's barely played rw this season

Then is he going to dislodge Bellingham in that AM position?

A proven striker is all I'm asking this club to sign, enough of all the prospective signing.

Jackson has missed literally X2 what Delap missed.

That’s the difference.

Trevor012:
The only correct answer is Ronaldo, Bale and Benzema.

Na why you almost relegate.

Griffon:

Bellingham can even play CM to accommodate Palmer, but wanting Palmer to compete with Saka, even if we don't count foden and Bowen, arsenal have produced another deadly rw Ethan nwaneri

Liverpool will definitely get their man. These are the kind of moves we should be making not freaking Delap.

Don’t ever put Palmer in the same sentence with Foden, Bowen and Ethan phucking Nwaneri.

Whizlight:
Viktor deal will always take some time cos the player will access all his options before anything will be done so chill

This is a successful season In Boehly’s books, I don’t see them going against their rule of signing players below 25, make una forget this Gyokeres matter

does Chelsea need a number 10 or witz, if chelsea has 100m to buy an attack they should go to PSG and pry one of their young wingers, especially desire

[🚨🔴 More on Florian Wirtz deal. Talks are advancing as reported earlier with club optimistic as Liverpool proposal around €130m is now on the table.

Negotiations are underway on structure of the add-ons, key to get the agreement sealed.

Wirtz ONLY wants Liverpool. ⏳⌛️

guy vexing will not reduce the amount of competitors palmer would have at rw.

the thing is if tuchel plays 343 at least both saka and palmer can start on the right

Relegate Palmer to the wings, Wirtz is ten times the player. Palmer will still be effective on the wings. Get a good nine Schick if we want a cheap and experience option or Retegui if we want to spend big. Delap, gittens joao Pedro etc won't take us anywhere.

Whizlight:
Build your ultimate front 3

BBC. Bale Benzema CR7. Bale will track back and defend and still give you goals and assists. Benzema will do anything a 10 will. Playmaker, goals and assists and the Greatest Goalscorer of All Time will bang the goals as usual.

Wetin concern Front three of Ronaldo, Bale and Benzema with our nearly Relegation

maresca is the manager not me, even with all of his ireti he didn't start palmer on the right, just forget it for now even if he does it later. and we don't need to spend 130m to get a number 10 even if palmer is to play wings

Realtord43:

Between a striker playing for the best chance creators in the entire league and one playing for a team constantly on the back foot, sometimes taking entire back 4s on his own?

OK

I still want another striker and an LW but omo no impugn Delap abeg

monerozi5590:

Any other answer is wrong.

Palmer does not need to play on the wings. He just needs to drift there and play off the right

Estevao coming should make this better because both of them are equally comfortable on the wing and in the middle so they can interchange seamlessly


Just allow Maresca and the board to cook. Only give them no excuse.


At the beginning of last season I said top 4 and a trophy

Now I will be satisfied with nothing less than a title challenge, a deep UCL run (QF at the LEAST) and a trophy. (League, FA, Calabash, UCL, Club World Cup, anyone)

swiz123:
I feel Boehly wants to use Delap as the main striker while we keep Jackson as another striking option with different profile. Gyokeres and Delap are of similar profile so it brings question marks about the purpose of Delap signing.

This club was once known as a club who went after the best of players.

That was a massive very rare privilege because we had a benevolent Billionaire in Roman, who just personally underwrote the associated losses. Even then with FFP, he still did what he could.

Y'all need to keep up with the business side of football.

We are in a new era of sustainability and strategy needs to change as a result. Times have changed and we need to get with the program.

We should be grateful that we have owners who are actually finding clever ways of spending every window, buying good young players and protecting the future of the club.

Only 3 days after season end, we don knack better quality, signed and sealed. Other clubs are praying for this type of spending power, will, and efficiency.

the maresca and board that appreciate and want to keep jackson, is the one we should trust and allow to cook? are they not still sniffing around other strikers and play us like they did last season, using media to give us hope that we will get a top striker, before they ended up with sancho, felix and neto, I can't trust them even this their search for left winger reminds me of them chasing and chasing away olise

Whizlight:
Build your ultimate front 3

ronaldo, suarez, messi. Lewa, neymar, henry stays on the bench. And come in when the team needs more goals

Liverpool just don't want another Bellingham to happen again so they're paying through their nose but trust me writz is not worth €100m.


I would stick with Palmer any day anytime with Estevao on the wings

Imagine Jackson missing that 1v1 chance on a ucl night, Godforbid .
Anyone other than Jackson as our no9 please .

lol I watched gyorekes miss a 1v1 against man city, jackson last year was closing my mouth till this 2025 not only didn't he score he was playing nonsense a number of times. so I don't want just anyone, much less sesko and ekiti, if it's not Victor.

They didn't find clever ways of spending in every window. In fact, we have a lot of craps to offload now because we spent foolishly in the last windows.

What's the essence of buying Veiga, Felix, when they would be loaned out? Why signing washed players like Sterling and jakujaku Jackson? Now, we are faced with righting the wrongs by offloading them, when we could have used the funds on quality players to fill important positions of weakness in the team, once and for all.

The need for a top quality striker was there since over a season ago, and they were foolish to have sidestepped it.

Delap Neva kick ball una dey write am off we are back to duran and omorodion sagas again, only this time we got our target, allow delap kick ball ,then judge later.

While the club's approach to sustainability and long-term planning is commendable, Chelsea fans are understandably feeling frustrated and unsatisfied. The shift from the Roman Abramovich era—where spending was aggressive and immediate success was prioritized—to a more strategic, data-driven model has created mixed emotions among supporters.

Fans don’t just crave financial prudence; they want results. They want a team that competes at the highest level, not just promises of future dominance. Spending on young talents is great, but when performances on the pitch don’t reflect ambition, skepticism arises. The disappointment stems from recent inconsistencies, managerial instability, and unconvincing performances despite significant investment.

Yes, ownership is ensuring financial longevity, but fans still need to see clear progress. Winning is the culture Chelsea fans were raised on. If the strategy doesn’t translate into immediate improvements, patience will continue wearing thin. The demand is simple—smart spending is fine, but results must follow.

Let’s hope the latest signings bring tangible success on the pitch, rather than just looking good on paper.
