    I am hoping our new DOF has some Seria A players on his list. There is so much talent in that league these days, even at the bottom end. It is a league I enjoy watching and will really season players for the premier league.

    I’ve seen and read enough about Saba G. Come on Florent. Earn that money you’re not getting paid yet.

    Wouldn't mind a few of the Empoli players to be honest. They were fine defensively, only conceding 3 more than 12th placed Udinese who Leeds just bought Bijol from, just didn't have enough going forward.

    Espositio (On loan from Inter)
    Fazzini
    Viti (On loan from Nice)
    Goglichidze

    He would be a very good signing in terms of experience if he came cheap, same as Henderson really. The problem is I think he’ll be looking for that last meaty pay day, and I wouldn’t risk spunking a large part of our budget on him.

    He also would be a one season signing with zero sell on clause.

    Chelsea honestly have no clue or structure. It’s just stockpile in every position. I’m not sure why players agree to go there

    I do have some concerns about Saba Goglichidze but one thing that is 100% never going to be an issue is his physical attributes, the things we can't help him develop.

    He's really strong, has a good leap on him but doesn't necessarily win enough of his headers (think it's a timing problem which we can teach) and one of the fastest players going. And that isn't an exaggeration, he recorded the 2nd fastest speed in the whole serie a last season Screenshot_20250621-124926.png

    My doubts come from his ability on the ball and sometimes recklessness, it's important to contextualize these issues to playing for empoli because they are a very poor side and never dominate games in that way. But he isn't an incredible passer in intricate play (empoli are usually struggling to progress anyway), made a fair few errors that led to empoli conceded and made some pretty nasty fouls.

    He can however ping some really intelligent and impressive long balls and start counters, of course as mentioned is a huge asset for covering a fullback or fellow centre half and is very active in duels.

    What's interesting is a lot of our centre back targets play in a back 3 like Saba, perhaps a switch of system?

    For that price though I think it's a no brainer but he's someone who needs developing in order to become a top defender. We'd certainly need other options imo.

    uefa brought in rules to limit it so Chelsea just started buying other clubs to send them to “permanently”. It’s absolutely ****.
