Wishes for next season

  1. Goals.
We need goals in the team. I'd like at least 2 attacking players (striker and winger/second striker) that can contribute at least 10-15 league goals each. This on top of Palmer and Jackson's contributions, but ideally the latter isn't anywhere near the XI.
Just to add onto this, a total of 10 goals and 14 assists came from €280m worth of transfers we bought this season...

 
No be so f**king boring to watch please.
I wanted to post that, but decided against it out of fear people would get confirmation I'm shallow.

 
Delap £30m

Mbeumo £45m

Tomás Araújo £67m

I'm surprised the big clubs haven't been linked with a move for Mbeumo.

Had a great season - and outperformed his xG significantly too.

I think we've already got too many right wingers for him to be anywhere in our radar sadly ...

Do we?

I think he's a good player to ease pressure off of Estevao, whilst Neto/Noni can fight for LW.

It's an easy layup for us. He adds goals which we desperately need, and even when you don't take this season into consideration his output is still consistently better than all of our wingers.

I'd have him in a heart beat, but I just can't see our DoFs heading in his direction !

 
Ok, I think that now that the season is over, it's time to make some wishes. Remember, these are wishes, it doesn't mean that the club is going to do anything about it.

  1. The board to change their attitude towards Chelsea match-going fans, stop selling most tickets to corporates and tourists, and make a plan for a new stadium around the Fulham/Earl's Court area.
  2. SDs to change their policy of only buying "youth with potential" or f**k off.
  3. Maresca, change your style to a more entertaining one or f**k off.
  4. Palmer to play on the right, where he is world class.
  5. Get a proper goalkeeper and sell Sanchez/Jorgensen. Place Petrovic as second.
  6. Get an experienced CB to play with Colwill. Sell Badiashille, Disasi, keep Chalobah, Tosin and Acheampong as backups.
  7. Need solid backups in the FBs, both, right and left. For James to stay fit for the whole season. Sell Gusto.
  8. We need Lavia to stay fit and to integrate Santos into the team. I'd keep Enzo as a bench option and sell/loan KDH.
  9. We desperately need a winger that is capable of shooting and scoring regularly. Integrate Estevão and George. Palmer on the right. Sell one of Neto or Noni and, if not possible, do not retain Sancho.
  10. We desperately need a 10 to play behind the striker if Palmer is to play on the right.
  11. STRIKER! Guiu could probably play second fiddle to the starting striker if we can't get a backup. If we can get a backup, send Guiu to Stratford on loan. Sell Jackson.
Nowadays players on loan do not get much experience unless they are top players. It's proving tougher to get a loan that is successful. So reduce the loan army.

 
Targets met this season, seems as good a place as any to put forward what, I believe, should be our targets for next season, given rmh has covered general wishes very nicely.

  1. Win The CWC
  2. Make it to the proper knock out rounds in the CL.
  3. Minimum 4th place league finish.
  4. As a fall back if the CWC is not won win either domestic cup. We must have some more silverware next season.
 
Securing Top 4 comfortably (displacing one of Arsenal or City as the next also ran behind Liverpool)

A domestic cup, ideally the FA Cup.

Champions League 1/4’s.

Some more attacking purposeful football please x

 
I could list a load of players I’d like sign and obviously trophies I’d like to win but simply I’d like more conference final second half less first. Start sending them out like we’re a goal down, speed things up. Don’t start slow and have to chase the game, start fast get a nice healthy lead and finish slow to kill the game.

Thanks Enzo, see ya next season.

 
I'd be happy with a less turgid style of football, which in fairness could come with a couple of signings.
New keeper, the moronic look on Sanchez's face when he makes a mistake sends me apoplectic.
Striker to compete with Jackson, he needs a real number 9 to bring him on. There is something there, but he is petulant and needs a reality check.
If Fofana isn't going to be fit enough then probably an experienced centre back.
Sell as much of the deadwood (the list is too long) as possible.
The introduction of some of the more talented loanees will fill up the midfield & winger spots.
