Viktor Ghokores left Championship club, Coventry City to Sporting Lisbon, under one year, he's now a £100 million striker. Let's be careful in neglecting the Championship.
im glad someone has finally addressed jacksons role in his dropping deep to create chances, i personally believe this is why he hasnt appeared to be a proper number 9 YET. With KDH it allows jackson to be more ST based positionally and im excited to see how he does this coming season.
Errrmmmmm..... Jackson's only issue is that he has missed so many chances , more chances than any other striker in the PL last season. No one complained about his positioning or his dropping deep.
KDH is a big signing, stats back him last season, even if it was the championship, he passes the eye test, but he has that directness and drive we lack, some one who's going to drive to goal from midfield (other than palmer), and for the price I think its a steal, wanted him since we saw him in the prem the season before last
@@Theo-rg7ld Exactly was going to say the same thing, man was literally playing for Coventry a year ago. These idiots think the Championship is easy . Its very Physical and they have to play alot more games
@@DyNamiC_PulsE people are stupid if they think the championship is a walk in the park, there is a reason a lot of prem clubs send there players on loan there even if other prem clubs want that player
I think this is great because we keep just throwing managers into the team and telling them to get top 4 with no idea about the club, but KDH gives maresca a step forward with his best player last season, giving him a sense of familiarity, and KDH can also help to teach the other players how to play under the new manager making everyone better. I think it's a great signing. We've needed a good non injured CAM for a while, we've had to force palmer and Ghalager into there all last season if you guys remember....
@@jettwavesongs I was really unimpressed with Jackson before the AfCON but his performances at the back end of the season totally turned me around. The way he was holding up the ball under pressure and then looking to turn the defender to attack was AMAZING. When Drogba did that he was looking to pick-up cheap free-kicks to keep possession and help the team (and that was great). But what Jackson is doing is even BETTER and I LOVE watching it. I know Jackson is not perfect but I can honestly say there is not another striker in World football that I would prefer to have over him right now. Hopefully you will get bitten by the Jackson bug too.
I don’t think there’s that much of a risk buying a championship player as there is buying a player say from the Portuguese or Dutch league, I would put those 3 leagues on a similar level
i'll remain very sceptical until proven wrong, he didn't look like a top midfielder when he was playing in the prem before... i hope he comes good because i want us to improve next season but i'm just not confident in him at this moment
Gallagher needs to go, but if by chance he doesn’t…there’s no way KDH subs on. He’s 100 percent a starter. Caicedo, KDH, Enzo will hopefully become something special we keep building around.
Chelsea board is really going to hurt me same way I was hurt when hazard left if they sell N.jackson, that dude is really dangerous the only thing he can't do is to finish the ball, but don't forget that the young striker has sometimes shows that he can also score good goals, all he needs is confident He's positioning is crazy imagine missing more than 20 big chances and still scored 14
Heard KDH works slightly less hard than Conor off the ball; but is much more creative or a threat. So I would prefer if we sold Conor than Chuckwuemeka.
When thinking about KDH coming in, I had only been considering running a 4-2-3-1, but the move makes a lot more sense if we run a 4-3-3, and your analysis of how he would work for Chelsea in that formation was spot on. Really good analysis, as usual.
Gallagher is like the whole English team in the euros, only English fans rate English players. He is an average system player and selling him will be smart.
His skill set is becoming very dated in the new age of football . The difference between him and Kobbie Mainoo to the English team tells you everything you need to know about where football is going
@@1987MatMan am not saying biased. English players are just gased up more than they are. Palmer is different but Kudus is 10x better but you don’t hear the hype about him. Look at what Nico, Yamal and Gunder are doing as teenagers compared to the English
@@TrueYarnyou’re basically proving my point. Gallagher is a quality player that gives everything for Chelsea every time he plays, and never gets hyped. All he gets is weird unjustified criticism from foreign fans. His partnership with Caicedo was fantastic and you’ve probably forgotten that. As for the players you’ve listed, they’re completely irrelevant to the English league and I’m sure they get all the hype in their respective leagues and countries. Oh, and Kudus doesn’t hold a candle to Palmer 😉
Ur next club as a promising player is massive u can't compare westham to big teams who has more quality players imagine Him in city or Liverpool team in that moment
I really believe KDH will be our next Palmer signing. Him, Barnes & JM10 were always their quality in the prem before they got relegated, and he kept that form in the Championship. He's a more creative version of Gallagher and a left footed midfielder is great for balance.
lol benson what is going on, if we just”” ignore this glaring issue that we have to many midfielders and this player coming in and taking mins away from players we already have in and bought “” that’s the main issue we keep buying more and more players for absolutely no reason at all.the main issue as well with your team has nkunku and palmer as the wingers when manager loves having his wingers going out wide and staying wide. We miss the best qualities of these players. You’ve basically just described Gallagher and Carneyas best qualities decided that KDH is going to replace them when we already had that in t(e 1st team let alone the squad.
I would prefer both Silva and Lavia before Dewsbury-Hall. Owners sell to us have been development of young players and both Lavia and Silva have way bigger upside than D-Hall. And I haven't even mentioned Gallagher or Casadei (both are better than D-Hall imo). Regarding your line ups I will always put Nkunku as cf before Jackson and Madueke on the wing instead with the existing players. No real reason to buy another winger since Estevao and Paez comes next summer. Also Chalobah over Tosin.
At this point, I would just wait and see what Maresca actually does with the squad and the options he has. Pre-empting what the formation will be pre Pre-season is just unnecessary mental torture.
I think this is a good signing. Also we need to have depth in all positions since we play conference league. I could see Chelsea use the second team in the conference league
Am use to seeing Chelsea signing 100m player and they turned trash i like this move for kdh at list we have a balance midfield his work rate is also very good
That line up could be class for us next season and brings in a lot of flexibility, of adding players like lavia, for caicedo or enzo, Gallagher or chukumeka for KDH, or maduake for Parma
No mention of Lavia? maybe he has been sold or retired and I missed the news. and saying we want a centre back tells me we have already written off Forfana as a serious replacement for Silva. Sorry George, hasnt it occured to you that the owners' master plan is to sell Moises and Enzo to Real Madrid or Saudi as well as Conor to Tottenham and rely on the fringe players to help us avoid relegation next year? KDH may be a stroke of genius because there is little doubt the lad can play, but it may also be a disaster for the him because he should realise he is only being bought in to be a sub in the 89th min. As for Tosin and Guiu you must be crazy to think these guys will add value. Obviously we hope they will but really? If Chelsea had a world beater on their books would we let him go for free/5m? No. The owners continue to make asses of themselves and make us a laughing stock in the football world.
We have 5 or 6 excellent midfielders not even including Gallagher, who the hell gets dropped for Dewsbury hall? Huge bloated squad again, unhappy players, all on the bench or not even making match day squad. Will they ever learn?
I really want that Cauliflower defender from Italy. Do you think they will take Badiashille + 20m? Would be a good business for us but that 50% sell on is insane
if we stay healthy, get calafiori and maresca’s ideas work out in the prem, i think we could mount a serious title challenge. maybe i’m crazy but our squad is no joke right now, and id rather be positive im sick of this toxicity of the past three years 😭
Great analysis George! If you are coming to the celtic match in South Bend. I would love if you did a pre-or post-match meet up. I can suggest some local pubs if you plan to do something like that
I think he was playing more like a left Winter I’m leicester… and I think he will come to play in the left side of the attack. Definitly not in the place of gallagher
I think KDH is a solid player and a solid signing. Even watching him in the premier league before they got relegated it was clear he was a talented player. It will help to have someone familiar with Maresca too. Maresca better be praying for another injury crisis though or else we’re going to have issues with squad size again like Potter had. With this midfield 3 we would be sitting Gallagher, Santos, Chukwameka, Casedei, big Les, AND Lavia. Completely ridiculous. Not to mention having like 8 first team center backs if they stay fit
First of all, comparing KDH with Caicedo and Enzo is misleading. They're regular midfielders at upper end of the Prem, KDH is not. He was tidy but not mindblowing for Leicester as a regular midfielder but he didn't really shine until Maresca started using him as effectively a number 10. He's a 5'7 or 5'8 sized guy who isn't massively physical, who isn't that strong in the tackle, who is energetic but not really pound for pound a regular midfielder that holds a pivot. And I don't think he'll ever really be able to do that job. What he can do is the job Cole Palmer did for us at the end of the season. That's what he did for Leicester. Problem is, can he do that job together with Cole Palmer, and is that possible in a Maresca system where we're going to have a back 5 while attacking? It seems self-evident that Palmer is heading for that right winger spot where there's nobody close by. Look at Leicester's team stats. Lots of goals from KDH and their left winger Mavididi, but pretty much all their right winger does is skip past his fullback and knock a ball in behind. Is Cole Palmer even better than Madueke at that particular job? We're potentially wasting a guy who managed 33 G+A in the Prem in 2600 minutes in order to accomodate an older guy who managed 26 in 3600 minutes in the Championship. I know which one of those two I'd want to build around.

And morata did? Higuain? Lukaku? You people are so delusional @@stephenr9618

@@stephenr9618
I think he'll be as good or better
I never knew Tosin was called Silva.
You’re not the brightest
How do u comfortably forget Lavia ?
Shows you how much depth Chelsea has!
I think Maresca also worked with Lavia at City. So, he should understand how to use him. He has three players who are already familiar with his style
Never seen the lad play for Chelsea.

Jackson will have a better year this one. If not, we will sell him next year. I am excited about Nkunku
Imo, Guiu, KDH, and Tosin have all been really good, sneaky pick ups. I’m really impressed
I've really wanted us to sign KDH for a couple of years so I'm really happy. He's one of those players who wins way more than 50% of 50-50s.
Good analysis, especially re other teams dealing with Palmer.
Chelsea have a reputation of signing very good left footed players
I hope we play some good football and the manager to be brave with his decision
