What's new

Cesare Casadei

we might have a gem on our hands, hopefully he isn't handled like all the other young players we lost over the past decade

So him, Santos, Hall and Carney yet we are "desperately" searching for a midfielder or two and looking to spend 80mill on Moises? How about we develop these players ourselves.

I think its more that none of those are the «sitting» midfielder but yeah - after what he’s shown I think we have to integrate him into the squad. I hope Pochettino goes for a midfield with 2 box to box midfielders in it - we seem to have a plethora of those at the moment

I'd like to see the names mentioned above given a chance next season but my god we're crying out for some experience in the middle of the park. With Kante and Kovacic on the way out do we have a single CM/CDM who is older than 23 or has played a full year in the Prem?

Brighton’s midfield was fairly young this last season. Carney has played premier league two season in a row although only limited minutes. Gallagher has experience. We could use a Caicedo but Enzo Gallagher carney not a bad 3 with casedi to get more  and more minutes. From what I’ve seen of Carney he will make the team better. Early days though.

Enzo + Carney + 1 would be what I'd play.  I'd be having a good look at Casadei and Santos in pre-season to see if they are ready to be the +1.

Gallagher is simply not good enough in my book ... can't fault his attitude though.

 
I think Casadei or Santos could be a real surprise next season. Caicedo vibes with little experience and just slotting in seamlessly into the Premier league. With the lack of older heads about Chelsea must be really exciting for the younger players to prove themselves now.

What I'd give for one of these players to break out into a £80m worth talent next season. 

 
I may blow a fuse if we go for Lavia for £40m + this summer. Trust the talents we've already brought in (like Casadei and Carney) and bring in some proven quality and experienced heads to accompany them. That's what we need to compete and also to take some of the pressure off the youngsters.

I'd forget any midfielder around the 40 million mark and spend the entire budget on Rice and potentially Paredes on a free. Enzo, Rice, Paredes as the seniors with Carney and Casadei as rotational options.

 
If we desperately need an actual DM that drops deep to become a CB, like Pochettino used Eric Dier for at Spurs, then he can use Ampadu or Chalobah in that role. Both have played many, many games as CDM and CBs,  and both are better than Dier.

A year ago we would have signed Rice, but that won't happen now.
