Geovany Quenda

I quite like Dalot and think he's unfairly treated at times. We could do better though I suppose.

I was thinking Amad more ar RWB just because I think we need to perhaps spend elsewhere first.

Having said that although Dorgu still looks raw his physicality is a big asset and he is looking to get the ball in the box. If we can refine him he should be a fine player for us.

We’ll end up with someone a bit crap like the vicar of dibbly from saints.

We already have Dalot. I don't think a big fast wingback with some skills is that hard to find. I know I sound flimsy but I think it can be sorted out. We just need some money.

Lamptey from Brighton worth a punt? Out of contract in the summer (although Brighton may have a 1 yr option).

The flip side of the disappointment at missing out on Quenda is bewilderment at Chelsea stockpiling even more wingers. I believe they have another couple arriving this summer based on deals struck a year ago. Is the football club now simply a wing of a player trading organisation?

Yeah we’re getting closer to that 50 man squad. Still haven’t signed a striker though. 🤦‍♀️

In a word, yes.

I find it a little bizarre that so many young players are signing up for it, tbh, particularly given how it seems to be working out for some of those who have gone before.

I can only assume that the wages they're offering are more than decent and that they're attracted by the security that the seven/eight year contracts offer.

Maybe INEOS is playing 3D chess with the intention of taking Quenda on loan from Chelsea, while covering only half of his wages.

Why on earth would Chelsea conduct a medical now for a player not joining for another 16 months?
