Maybe, you should've just asked why I didn't say Kulusevski helped Son, instead of going about saying "the universe is Son, Son, Son". I couldn't understand you. I hope you're more direct with your questions next time.
Depends on what he wants, which we don't know. Maybe he wants more power over player recruitment, in which case this could be a good thing for him.
If i was a Spurs fan, i'd do that aswell. Spurs is relevant only because of Son and Kane, without them Spurs is just Everton on steroids basically.
Romero, Kulusevski and Hojbjerg are all great players too IMO.
It was clear by the tail-end of the season (when Kulusevski and Bentancur came in) that Spurs were outperforming Chelsea. On top of that they lost important players on free transfers with other important contracts soon running out. And then there's the whole takeover which can be very unpredictable. We'll see.
I think that's still very much up for debate. But they have a lot of good, young players that I think could possibly make some noise for them in a few years (unless Saka leaves lol).
I have lots of thoughts to this.
Don't get me wrong, i like Tottenham (i'd take it over Arsenal any day). And Tottenham will stay competitive as long as Son+Kane are playing with their current level, they are so good.
I can't say I'm particularly worried at all. Sure there'd probably be a dip but they'd recover eventually, just like most other teams. The club in general is managed in a pretty future-proof manner.
I mean Tottenham made a decent team after the Modric/Bale era. I don't see why they're 100% doomed after the Kane/Son era.
Tuchel has more say over players now, and based on the credible news, it's not like FM22 at all. We are focused on 2 CBs, 2 wingers/attackers, and possibly a CM and wing-back.
Because signing six players in a summer is not very FM, and no managers have say over players. Woof
@Savant, what's funny, do people actually think that Ronaldo story was legit? Or Thiago Silva commenting about Neymar means Boehly is going all in on Neymar? Our previous board was more FM22 where the manager would get some targets, but the board would buy players, would expect the manager to fit them in, but ultimately knew it wouldn't matter because the players and board would outlast the manager.
I replied above. Chelsea summer, this summer is extremely FM. You mentioned they want six players. That alone is video game territory.
Turnover doesn't mean FM. Rudiger and Christensen moved on, and need to be replaced. Lukaku was clearly a bad fit for Tuchel as is Ziyech. I think Werner has been better here than some think, but hasn't been a great fit either. It's not like moves are being completed or targeted for the sake of making moves.
For the exact reason that the previous board was very FM, and if Tuchel has more say like reports indicate, that's going to mean getting players that fit his system. Some of the moves are also just standard replacements for guys that chose to leave like Rudiger and Christensen.
I mean when you are alone, adding Raphinha to a team that has a bazillion right wings, yes it feels very FM. No need to be butt hurt about it. It’s okay to acknowledge it.
I'm not butt hurt, just saying how it's a silly position to take that Tuchel would like the dynamic that's been reported about TT and Boehly than what he had before and what other managers had in the Roman era. Yes, we'll have to wait and see what the Boehly era is like each summer and how long managers last under him. If Tuchel gets more say, and his specific targets are the ones prioritized, then he's obviously going to like that more than a previous era when we spent big money on a striker that TT most likely never wanted.
Yes everyone saw the article where is said new owner wants to be more analytical and be more like Liverpool and Man City. I can speak for City, but LFC would have never signed Raphinha with Pulisic, Ziyech, Hudson-Odoi at RW. Especially with Mount covering there too. That is a big fee for a marginal upgrade. Tuchel had Pulisic at Dortmund and wanted Ziyech when he was there too so I don’t buy that he hasn’t gotten his players. It’s a sin that Tuchel isn’t getting the best out of players like Hudson-Odoi, but Chelsea have rarely cared about their young players in the last two decades anyway so I guess par for the course. As long as they can keep buying their way out. They seem to spend nine figures on a single position group every window, and more power to them for making it work, so this doesn’t feel like anything new.
