Makes me wonder how nobody actually made a move for Guirassy this transfer window considering he cost 17.5 million. Gladly that clause is now expired.

FFP is one issue, but another is that this is a new thing for him. He’s having a great season this season, but last season he scored 11 league goals, season before that he scored 9, season before that he scored 10. So 30 league goals in 3 seasons (86 league games) isn’t exactly a star clinical striker. He’s having a great season this season of course, but is he a one season wonder? I know £17.5m is nothing but you have to factor in wages too, and a move to a big PL club brings inflated wages. Even if it’s £100k a week on a 3 year contract, that’s a burden of £17.5m on his transfer, god knows how much in agent fees, bonuses etc., and a guaranteed £15.6m in wages. So a minimum £33.1m outlay for a player who might end up being simply not good enough, who at 27/28 years old, won’t want to move on when he can sit on a bench for 3 years and leave at 30 with an extra £15.6m in his pocket. That’s why nobody has taken that gamble

I feel like there’s just certain things teams should buy if they wanna be good. A good scorer would be one of them. Yeah, it doesn’t have to be a striker it could be a winger. But someone who can score. -a creative outlet. And some good defenders. Like that’s the bare minimum but instead Chelsea just spent it on whoever for whatever price. Easily they could’ve bought a striker, 2 good midfielders, some good defenders and be fine.

Best part is? The guy known as a tactical magician went and bought a Norwegian goal scoring robot while everyone is still trying to turn their wing backs into number 9s

10 more points puts Chelsea 5th, above Spurs. But you also have to take into account that a draw vs Villa means Chelsea gain a point and Villa drop 2, so it actually looks even better for Chelsea

How about "what if chelsea had better owners?" 😂

They’ve gone through so many flops of strikers over and over that they should start looking at their recruiting strategy

What if your team doesn't shoot when they should? That doesn't register xg. You could dominate a game and never pull the trigger - xg doesn't reflect that

@madeupstory9510

4 ай бұрын

You can look at the striker's touches in the Penalty box and then how often they shoot. If there's a huge contrast, it will mean that they are shy in front of the goal. Of course it's not 100% accurate and thus why stats alone do not work.

Come on now, be fair to them. They can’t afford to splash out on a striker with their tiny budgets.

Lewa has the worst -xG in the LaLiga and he is 0.2 WORSE than Jackson...

He will be eventually replaced by Roque won't?

Sure Chelsea would buy a proper striker and they would magically stop scoring anyway

Jackson at Villarreal was a winger, not a striker, his creative numbers were miles ahead of his shooting. Despicable scouting to suggest he's a striker from Chelsea

damn lmao i thought he was arandom striker they picked up from a club. that explains so much lmao

Chelsea will buy oshimen, guirassy, mbappe, harry kane, haaland, adebayor, benzema, heskey Boehly still thinking that he is playing fifa

This is where xg stuff fails. If you watch games with your eyes you will know that Chelsea don't create enough chances to begin with. All those clinical strikers get at least 5 chances a game, while Jackson has been getting 3 or less a game. Once Chelsea fix their creativity problems then they can worry about getting elite strikers.

"He might turn out to be a great player "😂

3 of Jackson’s goals came in a 9vs 11 spurs too, so let’s not hype him up too much there 😂

This video has aged beautifully.

Keep in mind Lukaku was supposed to also solve our striking issue

But it's not just one player (Jackson) missing chances.

why does their kit always look weird in images?

Chelsea no. 9 curse is real!

We'd be millions of pounds worse off. Chelsea play like poo and strikers don't get sufficiently frequent high quality chances to convert with any real frequency. Until the keepball stops we'll keep struggling in the final third

They have one whisper 9

Chelsea doesn’t buy players to be good sadly. It feels like they just wanna invest in a bunch of young kids to flip in the future

Are you guys switching from tifo irl?

I still cant wrap my head around the fact they have one of the most clinical strikers in the world: Lukaku

How much better off would Chelsea be, if they just bought Premier League title? 🤔

This is such a generalized analysis 😂

Chelsea never has a good striker. We’ve always had issues there. If we had a solid striker for the last 20 years we would’ve challenged way more often

The striker market has been wank for last 5 years. Apart from Haaland and Kane no striker has found success at their new club. Look at nunez at liverpool 85m flop, arsenal got jesus yet they still want Toney, richarlison an even bigger disaster at spurs.
