Yes, you’re certainly right about that. I think ETH knows it too, and we’re sure to try to bring someone good in over the summer . With a top striker, I believe we’ll be a force.Is there many consistent goal scoring RW’s out there? I’m struggling. Antony and Sancho will come good and should be looking at at least 10 for a good season. You’re right you definitely need a striker. Your 20 goals behind the top 2, who knows how much better off you would be with that top CF.

Sure that’s true, I’ll give you that. I’m sure my nan could do better that Wout and she’s 6 feet under. Could see him being a decent rotational option for Real. Especially with how old their team is.It’s not a massive achievement to be better than Weghorst. I imagine Ten Hag would have gotten more out of Felix than Potter, but he just doesn’t seem right for this league. You just don’t get the time that Felix needs to work his magic.

The player himself says it's Fell-ix, not Feel-ix.Felix or Fellix just started to wonder whenever I hear commentators saying it

Spend 100m on Felix instead of a striker pleaseTweet

I agree.I might get beaten up for this statement, but he reminds me of St Maximin at Newcastle. Not necessarily in playing style, but he gives me the vibes of an entertainer that leaves a lot to be desired. Lots of nice dribbles and nutmegs here and there, but what else does he bring?

Respect for a solid trolling attempt there - especially because the way you've enunciated it is closer to the correct pronunciationGiven his spell at Chelsea it'd best be pronounced Fail-ix.
Would all depend if we are actually signing Nkunku. Couldn’t imagine the need for both.His end product would worry me as a long term investment.
He is a good player but nowhere near the rumoured transfer fee.
The ones who are interviewing the managerial candidates are the ones making these decisions. I would think the question of whether they'd fancy Felix or not will have come up in the talks?Who exactly is making these decisions at Chelsea? I mean, if they're bringing in a new manager, shouldn't he be the guy deciding if Felix is purchased on a permanent basis or not? Extremely odd if true & shows the club owners haven't learned from their mistakes and keep repeating it.

Actually no, they don’t need to include that in conversations. We aren’t appointing a football manager, we are appointing a head coach. Primary role is the same but they have less authority on signings and overall running of the club.The ones who are interviewing the managerial candidates are the ones making these decisions.

Signing him when you already have Havertz and you’ve just signed Nkunku would be pretty funny. Where the feck do you fit them all? They all pretty much want to do the same things and aren’t complementary to each other at allTweet

Operating this way, in the current scenario which Chelsea are in, is going to rule out a number of top tier managers who operate with "Give me control, I will set this right" (Guardiola, Klopp, Ten Hag) & restrict hiring to managers who think "Throw me any crap, I'll bring the best out of them & inspire them to victory" (Ole, Hodgson, Moyes, Dyche, Rodgers, Lampard - it's a big list).Chelsea haven't had a "manager" in charge of transfers for many, many years.
We're not getting any of those three managers regardless of transfer control.Operating this way, in the current scenario which Chelsea are in, is going to rule out a number of top tier managers who operate with "Give me control, I will set this right" (Guardiola, Klopp, Ten Hag) & restrict hiring to managers who think "Throw me any crap, I'll bring the best out of them & inspire them to victory" (Ole, Hodgson, Moyes, Dyche, Rodgers, Lampard - it's a big list).
I'm personally not sure if signing Felix is the right move but regardless of signing him, I would sell Havertz asap. He might end up being a really good consistent player but I've accepted it won't ever be for us. We're coming to the end of his 3rd year now and all I've seen from him are brief flashes and purple patches. I'm also pretty sure he wouldn't sign an extension if one was put to him this summer, so my feeling is, unless we sell him, he will try to run is contract down and join Bayern as a free agent.Signing him when you already have Havertz and you’ve just signed Nkunku would be pretty funny.

I wouldn't go that far, but there's a wide margin between rubbish and being worth £90M + top wages.I take it he’s been rubbish then?![]()
Yeah I’m joking to an extent. Lovely player to watch. I haven’t caught up with his performances at Chelsea but I agree.. for the price I would be expecting a lot more headlines than the red card he’s received so far.I wouldn't go that far, but there's a wide margin between rubbish and being worth £90M + top wages.
Felix is mostly doing all the right things in the build-up but just lacks the composure and decision making to be truly world class. Looking at our team's stats since Felix joined he's averaging a lot more shots per game than anyone else and also has really good dribbling stats but the end product is just not there and for the money it would require to sign him on a permanent he's just not been doing enough to justify it.
There's definitely a good player in him and he's still reasonably young enough that things could well end up clicking if he gets to play in a team and system that are best suited to his qualities but right now that's a gamble I personally wouldn't be comfortable making.
Why do people talk like Nkunku is a done deal?Signing him when you already have Havertz and you’ve just signed Nkunku would be pretty funny. Where the feck do you fit them all? They all pretty much want to do the same things and aren’t complementary to each other at all
