I’m getting sick to death of writing this, but my faith is being completely drained out of me yet again by the decision makers at this club.
I keep trying to keep myself calm and waiting to see if it actually happens, and I will still refrain from fully going all in on this one. But if Chelsea sign Jhon Duran as our new number 9 even for £30m, Chelsea fans are going to be absolutely furious.
The pressure the club are under even after hiring an underwhelming and unproven new head coach is huge. Fans are literally going to be waiting for pitchforks for the owners and sporting directors if this fails. And now you’re telling me we want to sign Duran as our new striker to lead the line for £40m?? PLEASE make it stop.
I’m so tired of writing that we need PROVEN quality added to this squad. Why on earth would we even think about adding another young and raw striker to compete with the young and raw striker we already have at the club? You know, the one who we fully threw in the deep end to lead our line alone last season when he is clearly raw? Whoever thought, ‘I know, lets add another raw young striker with Jackson’ is an absolute clown.
This squad is full of young, raw, and inexperienced players. Yet we are completely ignoring the glaringly obvious need that this squad is missing – QUALITY EXPERIENCE. Many pundits and former Chelsea players who I really respect have also been saying this all season, as have pretty much the entire fan base. But Chelsea’s SD’s know better, right?
I’m not here to slate Duran. I don’t think he’s a bad player at all and has bags of potential. But signing him for the fees being quoted would be absolutely ABSURD. This squad is crying out for a proven striker to lead the line. Why on earth we are even thinking about signing Duran for that role is beyond belief.
Durán is apparently not in Unai Emery’s long-term plans, and he has started only three league games since joining Aston Villa in January 2023. Who’s…
