Amazingly they are seemingly after Rice too and possibly one more. Gotta make use of that incredible academy after all.
Rice is a good step in the right direction. Their defense was the issue and I don’t understand why they did not invest heavily on there. They could have signed Koulabalily, Alaba, or any world class defenders, plus a top goalkeeper and that would have significantly improved their side. The only positive I have seen from their signing is Werner.
This is Fifa 101 basic as well. Even in ultimate team, if you get a bunch a player together, your team morale will be low and that will affect performance. Their is no chemistry in that team. This is a good lesson for all the muppets who was envious of all of Chelsea signing last summer.
If I was lampard, I would have signed Oblak/Cakir/Onna, Werner, Alaba/Koulabably/Upamecano, and chillwell instead. In addition the already signed ziyech and Pulasic, that would be a better structured team going into this season.
