and the club looked like it was investing in youth and prepared to be patient... until the transfer ban was lifted, it seems.
I’ve said the same thing several times but the thing with young players is you need patience, so doubling up on positions isn’t the worst idea of them all so kind of see why they’re doing what they’re doing.
If our front 3 would be CHO-Abraham-Werner and no back decent backup after losing both Pedro and Willian it wouldn’t put us in a great position considering how many games you play in a short season or a really long one depending on how you look at it. Some players will go nonstop with Euros, Olympics and WC all happening over the next 23 months.
Hope Chilwell isn’t going to be the next Drinkwater for us.
As for Lampard, clearly there’s potential but his complete disinterest in defence is worrying, so is the suggestion to buy tall players. Fingers crossed it really was tongue in cheek, Chilwell is a good 10cm shorter than Alonso.
So Chelsea are a good fit because he’s single footed and has no end product and gets torn apart by tricky wingers? Sounds right up our alley...
To add insult to injury he’s got worse hair than Alonso.
