Why is it difficult to slag off ‘No striker?!’ The ones offered (aside from Giroud) of late were not do-able in the end. The possible ones like Benteke Mourinho (JM) didn’t fancy. Had we signed Benteke with JM blessings, we would be going off on one. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
And again, up until last night a lot of us thought Giroud was good as done. It wasn’t chavs that stopped it, but Frank. Pissing about with a player’s career like that is not on.
This. Adding to it that we now have an additional attacking midfield player in Begwijn and actually the rest of the season is still looking ok to me.
Let's see how it goes, but we've had Kane out for sustained periods before, at a time where Son was our only real source of goals and it was ok. Now we have several attacking midfielders capable of bringing goals to our games.
Also for me: Son is better than Giroud would have been, and Piatek was too much of an unknown.
Because we've had since Llorente left to sign a backup striker.
Because we've had a month since Kane got injured to desperately sign a backup striker.
Of course we failed trying to do it in the last few days and of course the options left were awful.
There's no world class striker who fancied playing in the best stadium in the world and working for the most famous manager in the world?
There's reallyno defence for how much Levy fucks about trying to get a "deal", pinching pennies but losing pounds.
Obviously different people see things in different ways. Yes, hopefully Gio can step up further, but I do see his position as a supplement to an Eriksen type/Dembele. Maybe Sessengnon is the long term succeeder to Rose. But at the moment we have not strengthened the team this window, unless of course Birwyn (not looked up spelling) is a star. My mood is still pretty deflated tbh.Eriksen was always going to go this window if we got a half decent price, and frankly he's been poor for us this season for the most part. Dele has thrived under Jose and Lo Celso looks likely to step up in Eriksen's place. For me we're no worse off on this one.
Rose has been pretty woeful as well this season, but worse he seems to be a bad influence off the pitch within the squad. If he was playing at his prime this could be forgiven, but we have Davies who can cover that position well.
It's far too early to comment on the two in-comings, but the big plus point is they are both Jose signings.
Indeed. And clearly, as a life long Chelscum, his hatred for us is grafted to his DNA. And yes, him preventing a player from going, knowing full well that he does not intend to use said player, is also a bit of a dick move. However, if he felt that us signing Giroud could potentially strengthen our squad, and in turn, hurt his team's chances of CL qualification, then in his mind, this decision is completely justifiable. The player has a contract. And the team he signed for, and who pay his wages are under no obligation to sell.Fat Franks always been a **** in my book.

Barca got Messi and greizmann that are fit
Chelsea got Abraham and Batshuyai that are fit
United have Martial and Greenwood.
They are not as desperate as we are
WE DO NOT HAVE A FIT STRIKER
