Trust me I am not at all envious of chelsea football club. They are fascist, racist, funded by scum, and making a mockery of every rule and bylaw in the FFP/PSR handbook. They are a bloated and overpaid mess of a football club. Yes I prefer Ange and Levy to Maresca and Boehly. They are a laughingstock.
All that being said - my original comment was simply that they still have a better frontline than us.
And the larger point I was making is for all the shit we chat about Chelsea, we’ve been acting highly Chelsea-esque these past two years.
Buying Richarlison the “versatile forward” for £60m, turns out that’s just code for “not good enough to start at either position”, spend £65m on an actual striker to replace him
Buying Johnson+Kulusevski, an entire right wing of the future for £80m. Immediately have to replace both of them at RW because one has to play centrally and the other can’t dribble.
So basically, spending huge money on first team players who we then immediately have to upgrade the next year? Tell me that isn’t Chelsea. That’s the fucking club ethos of Chelsea, and it’s the exact strategy we’ve used to build our attack since 2022.
