I’m getting sick to loss of life of scripting this, however my religion is being utterly drained out of me but once more by the choice makers at this membership.
I maintain attempting to maintain myself calm and ready to see if it really occurs, and I’ll nonetheless chorus from totally going all in on this one. But when Chelsea signal Jhon Duran as our new quantity 9 even for £30m, Chelsea followers are going to be completely livid.
The strain the membership are beneath even after hiring an underwhelming and unproven new head coach is large. Followers are actually going to be ready for pitchforks for the house owners and sporting administrators if this fails. And now you’re telling me we wish to signal Duran as our new striker to guide the road for £40m?? PLEASE make it cease.
I’m so uninterested in writing that we’d like PROVEN high quality added to this squad. Why on earth would we even take into consideration including one other younger and uncooked striker to compete with the younger and uncooked striker we have already got on the membership? You already know, the one who we totally threw within the deep finish to guide our line alone final season when he’s clearly uncooked? Whoever thought, ‘I do know, lets add one other uncooked younger striker with Jackson’ is an absolute clown.
This squad is filled with younger, uncooked, and inexperienced gamers. But we’re utterly ignoring the manifestly apparent want that this squad is lacking – QUALITY EXPERIENCE. Many pundits and former Chelsea gamers who I actually respect have additionally been saying this all season, as have just about the whole fan base. However Chelsea’s SD’s know higher, proper?
I’m not right here to slate Duran. I don’t suppose he’s a foul participant in any respect and has baggage of potential. However signing him for the charges being quoted could be completely ABSURD. This squad is crying out for a confirmed striker to guide the road. Why on earth we’re even serious about signing Duran for that position is past perception.
Durán is seemingly not in Unai Emery’s long-term plans, and he has began solely three league video games since becoming a member of Aston Villa in January 2023. Who’s taking a look at that and considering he’s the reply to our want for a brand new quantity 9? They need to be sacked on the spot. Not in Emery’s long-term plans however in Chelsea’s? OK.

Duran has performed for Envigado, Chicago Fireplace, after which Aston Villa. He’s scored simply 8 targets in 49 appearances at Villa, and 26 in 130 appearances in his entire profession up to now. Chelsea want a PROVEN goalscorer, he’s not that but and that’s only a FACT. There’s additionally doubts about his perspective, I’ve heard this too myself. It’s a part of the explanation Emery isn’t eager on him apparently. That doesn’t bode nicely for me both.
Sure, he would possibly come good. Sure, it’d show to be a good signing. Sure, it may be one other Cole Palmer. However the threat is just too large. The necessity for somebody to return in and bang NOW is way larger than the allowance to take one other threat. This lot need Champions League qualification subsequent season and a trophy, on the very least. But they instill an inexperienced and unproven supervisor, and apparently wish to signal an inexperienced and unproven striker. Make it make sense.
They might signal any prime up and coming younger participant and try to say he would possibly come good and may be one other Palmer. I don’t care about that. I don’t care about who could or is probably not good. We want gamers who’re good NOW. And please, let’s not begin saying that any younger participant we signal might be one other Cole Palmer, as a result of it may additionally simply be one other Cesare Casadei who we’re apparently now open to promoting this summer time, or one other David Datro Fofana too, who’s in the identical place as nicely.
If Duran is available in, I’ll again him and be totally behind him, as I will likely be for any participant we signal. He can have my full assist and I will likely be keen him to succeed right here. It’s not his fault Chelsea are allegedly ready to take yet one more MASSIVE threat with the way forward for our membership.
How am I purported to again a board and determination makers who transfer like that? I actually can’t. Sorry.
Let’s simply hope they see some sense right here and again out of this obvious transfer for Duran and herald a minimum of a confirmed choice. I’m taking Dom Solanke over Duran (perhaps not for the £60m launch clause and I’m certain we are able to negotiate decrease if he desires to depart). I’m taking Julian Alvarez perhaps even for £70m over Duran. I imply, we’d as nicely drop the additional £30m for him proper? If we’re keen to spend £40m on Duran, we’d as nicely drop the additional bag and herald a extra confirmed striker, no? That’s too smart I assume.
Let’s see how this performs out. We would not even get Duran. And if we do, we’d pay a lot lower than £40m. However as you possibly can inform, this information has actually bought to me, and I do know it has to lots of you too. We merely should voice our views on this and make them hear us. It’s all we are able to do. I don’t like over reacting at rumours alone, but when we don’t voice our opinions on these rumours after which they find yourself occurring, getting our view throughout will then come too late.
