Chelsea could keep on spending money as much as they want but as long as they do not have a proper team, they are not going to get a good result and they are not going to get those points they want. Gavi is great, I am not arguing against getting him if they can afford him, but that doesn't mean that just because they got him, they are going to get great results, or use him as well as Barcelona has used him.

I believe that we are going to end up with terrible results if we are not careful and we should be doing quite well in the end if we know what we are doing. Chelsea is mismanaged, and that's not just the manager, sure he has some part in this issue as well there is no doubt about that but it's more about the new team owner, since Abrahimovic is gone, the new owner is just trying to spend as much money as he can to build a club and that's not how you build a club, you need to give it  some time for players to get used to each other, you can't just get 11 good players.

I'd personally disagreed with owen's statement regarding kane's choice. Kane was choosing it based on his willingness and there's no something wrong with it. Owen shall try to stop in trying to dictate others's life. One of the main factors that led Kane to choose Bayern as his team was the freedom and lack of pressure he would experience while playing there. There's no guarantee if real madrid was also putting kane as their target. Real madrid wants to recruit mbappe rather than kane. I think that own was very wrong in his statement.
That's why i don't really like what he has been saying regarding kane's decision. Kane's performance in Bayern has been exceptional, and to add to his success, he has also joined a club that has the potential to win a trophy this season.
Bayern was not so bad compared with real madrid. Owen was really underestimate bayern with his BS statement. People who are constantly making statements about the lives of others are not someone I particularly enjoy being around. Owen needs to stop his bad habit in commenting the decision being taken by others.
He needs to focus with his own life. Witnessing his comments about Kane, pretending to be an expert, is truly disgusting.

The management may give him a time till the middle of the season. Performance of chelsea was so average and it was winning when chelsea was lucky enough. I meant let's take a look at the statistic and chelsea has nothing to do with it. The club keeps stuck in the same place.
I know that some people like mudryk was working so hard in inproving himself but let's take a look at how the whole of players are not improving themselves. This is the main problem that had been facing by chelsea.
There was no improvement is happening in the club. The club keeps show the same pattern over and over again. Other club can predict it easily without any problem.
This is pretty much the same like when someone was doing the same stupid thing again and again. Chelsea likes never learn from its past mistake and it keeps to show horrible performances. This club is so terrible to watch at this moment.
Winning a few games meant nothing for sure. This is the main reason why people were not even feeling confidence with it. I saw that chelsea targeting a new striker or even centre back but that's not enough to change the team.

They were expensive goalkeepers because they were still young at that time. We can understand if they have big salaries previously. However, they are no longer young now, they are already old goalkeepers (specifically for De Gea). Regarding De Gea ever did some silly mistakes in Man United, it was also caused by the bad quality of Man United defenders. So, we can't fully blame the performance of De Gea. If Man United had solid defenders, De Gea probably still could play in his best form.

Today, Kepa played well in El Clasico. With his good performance, I am sure Real Madrid interested to sign him permanently. I heard they will consider it when this season ends.

Sure, Kepa must feel happy because he can play regularly now. It is something he can't get in Chelsea. However, when Courtois returns from the injury, Kepa may play as a substituted goalkeeper again. But if he can agree with that, Real Madrid may sign him permanently.

I agree that more signing will not make Chelsea any better if the teams as a whole fail to find their balance and the way to score and win games smoothly.
Chelsea sometimes play good football, sometimes they perform poorly and receive many goals. Chelsea signed a lot of players and here they go to the other half of the table because of the dysfunctional team they tried to build..

At these point, I don't think Chelsea needs to sign any big midfield player to be able to perform well because they have a good number of midfield players are very capable to anything required of a world class midfielder.
Chelsea's problem I think is lack of good tactical approach that'll bring out the best from the players and not personnels in the squad. Mauricio Pochettino should try and find solution to the club's current poor results if he wants to remain at the club manager at least till the end of the season.

It's not surprising at all to see Barcelona selling Gavi even in this season. We know Gavi has an epic performance in Barcelona he is definitely one of the most effective players for Barcelona and Xavi. but the fact about Gavi is he needs to get a huge amount of salary in this team and considering the financial situation in Barcelona, in this team was even about to sell this player during the last summer. That's why it's not surprising to see them doing the same thing in this season.

The change of coach changed their performance now but on the other hand, actually if Spalleti was still there it was still not certain that Napoli would play the same as before.
Their decline has been felt even from the end of last season I think so this is also an impact on performance now. In addition, the change of coach will also be a differentiator and will certainly now be one of the factors for the reason or blame Rudi Garcia for not being able to bring Napoli to the same performance as last season even though this is also difficult for any coach to do I think.

I said a while ago about this issue because it's not about the money spent but about how they organise the coaching and management above.
Now it shouldn't be about the players because at the end of the day they've tried to overhaul but the result is still the same.
So what they have to examine now is that when some of the changes made do not work well then there is another problem apart from the players' changes which is how their top staff manage and put pressure on the coaches and players. As long as that cannot be fixed no matter how much money they pour in to change players or coaches the results will still be the same.
But indeed in the last few matches they have always been good it's just that today they seemed to return to the factory suit of being clowns.

Why Man United must sign De Gea?
Although Onana must leave Man United for a moment to play with his national team, Man United still has Altay Bayındır and Tom Heaton. These goalkeepers deserve to get a priority to replace the position of Onana. I think Man United doesn't need to sign a new goalkeeper because they have 2 substituted players for the goalkeeper position. What for those players if Man United prefers to sign a new one? 

Of course, it should be a short team contract. Man United won't sign De Gea for a long term contract because they already have Onana as the main goalkeeper and 2 substituted players for goalkeeper position. De Gea is also not a young goalkeeper anymore, Ten Hag is never interested to sign an old player for building Man United future squad.

Well, it is quite funny if De Gea really returns to Man United. 

But this is indeed one of Chelsea's ways in the last few seasons to make their conditions want to rise instantly.
Although it is said that something like this is actually a ridiculous action because they do not learn from mistakes, but indeed this kind of reshuffle is also still a mainstay of Chelsea in order to improve their performance instantly.
Gavi played very well at Barcelona but the problem is that it depends on the coach and the way coaching is done too because in the end if it doesn't match what Gavi got at Barcelona I agree apart from this is a way for Chelsea to waste money, this can also kill the careers of young players like Gavi because seeing from his progress Gavi is one of the players who can contribute a lot in the future.

I don't even understand Chelsea this season, even with the amount of money they've spent and new coach they got, they're still very inconsistent, this today they're performing well and the next week they'll have am embarrassing defeat, the team is just so confused,  that's why I'll advice all bettors to avoid betting on Chelsea this season cause they're not a team to rely on instead focus your attention on other EPL teams like Tottenham, Arsenal or Liverpool and City.

 What suprises me is that they're not participating in a major European competition but their players keeps getting injured, they should be very fit but the reverse is the case, i expected them to be performing like Tottenham after spending alot on signings this season, if Tottenham had sent such amount of money on players I believe Ange Postecoglou could've won the EPL this season.

The thing is that this defeat came as a surprise even for the pessimistic people. I know that Chelsea can't be relied upon as it has been like that for a while, but how on earth could they lose this game like that? Quite impressive that Pochettino is still there. If there is anything the club could do right now, in my opinion it would be to get rid of this horrible coach.

He probably has an amazing contract and Chelsea made the same mistake twice and need to pay him a fortune when he gets sacked. These contracts should be much more success-based and if a coach or a team doesn't deliver, they need to accept big cuts in their payments. But that's not how it works and they can play whatever they want and still count the millions.

It's hard to talk about stability given the defeat to Brentford, but Chelsea's performance seems to be getting better. In general, it’s quite strange that a team with literally one goal for the season (the Premier League, without European Cups and other things) is in such a storm. I think Chelsea fans are already tired of the transitional seasons and want to see a positive result.

I'm quite impressed with their current form given previous experiences additions. Looking at your comprehension, I can tell you're annoyed and frustrated because I can tell you're a Chelsea supporter, and you've just reached out to the suggestions you made, opening up your head and pointing out fundamental appropriate Chelsea insight. On the record, you are correct because the Blues are acquainted with the actions of buying younger players with enormous amounts in transfer window, I'm not saying they should refrain from making young players who are prominent their ultimate target in terms of signings, what I'm speculating on is for the Blues to demonstrate the ability to sign players at lower fee.

All Chelsea knows how to do is to pay huge money for players that donot worth the amount and bring them to Standford bridge to kill their career.I'm not saying this because I hate Chelsea,but because they spend huge amount of money on players and still do not get good results.They aren't really good at signing players.Immagine the amount of money they spent on Caicedo,and Mudryk,but aren't still getting good results,should we say it's the manager's fault? Or should we say the players aren't good enough? Or should we say the management are not hiring the right coaches? Something is really wrong at Chelsea,and they need someone who can identify the problem and be able to solve it.

Spending money is never a problem for Chelsea because they have spent a lot in the transfer market in the previous season. Therefore, I don't think the player is expensive for Chelsea management, and I think they will try signing him since it is Pochettino's choice to sign him in order to stabilize the team midfield because he was complaining that he was not the coach that signed these players. That is why the team is struggling to adapt, but I think the manager has reached a stable performance since the team is now becoming more consistent than they used to be at the beginning of the season.

Indeed, seeing from the current conditions it should be like that but indeed for now it is rumoured that Manchester United are currently getting closer to returning to De Gea especially for some time ahead Onana will definitely not be at Manchester United because he has to fulfil his country's call to defend Cameroon at the Africa Cup of Nations later.

But indeed if this is done and De Gea agrees again on a short-term contract in my opinion this will be a comedy where previously Manchester United let De Gea and free agent status but now they want to bring back De Gea with the same conditions
Although there is still no certainty but it seems we still have to wait further about this.

I also thought the same, one even goes so far as to say that Italian football has a high level because players who are in Napoli make the difference, of course the greatest promise of that team like Osimhen who when the transfer advantage passed he assured. Because he was going to stay on the team to complete everything he wanted to do and continue doing that great job, he didn't do it and things went to the floor, so these types of things are what I say makes players change their minds. and well I don't blame him, for me when they played last season they were quite good, they were another team, everything was very integrated, to achieve something like that is difficult, I praised their performance many times for everything they did, and It's something that I liked because it's a type of football that I like, but things didn't go well this season, and that's disappointing, I'm one of those who think that Osimhen did leave this team badly, but as you say, they have To move forward, you have to return to that level you had before and be even stronger.

Now Napoli has been performing poorly, for me they are still not up to par, when they talk about the teams of other leagues compared to Napoli's performance there is a difference, but this is a mental thing, I think things when They try to figure out how to have better access to things to have a better performance in the game. It is that when each person is in a more focused mode, they can do things better, the coach obviously has to achieve that great integration again. that great teamwork, making available new forwards who can make the difference, they have to work more as a team and put everything in so that they can achieve the same results as the previous season, or not the same, but recover and show that they do not Was it just luck or was it because there was a particular player that they won, they don't have to tell because they are the defending champions.

How do you expect Barcelona to sell Gavi? That cannot be even possible.
Gavi is a Barcelona player and would be a Barcelona legend at the end of his career. Players graduated from La Masia to Barcelona first team that are good enough barely leave the club.

He may not have the best of the best numbers but he has been a solid player for Barcelona on the pitch. Just exactly today, they lost though but he was a very good pair for IIkay Gundogan at such a young age.
Chelsea problem is not midfielder's, they need to work on who stays for the winger's and attack!
