‘Is better you spend $300m on our favorite attackers’ ‘than spending it on defenders’ – Fans calls out Tuchel to accept latest Todd Boehly targets
Although owner Todd Boehly is a big supporter of Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar Jr., Thomas Tuchel reportedly turned down the opportunity to sign them.
Instead, Chelsea decided to sign two defenders in Marc Cucurella and Kalidou Koulibaly, and they are very certainly also going to sign Wesley Fofana.
Now, according to Fabrizio Romano, the Blues have submitted a proposal of about $100 million for RB Leipzig defender Joko Gvardiol, who will join the team in 2023.
Chelsea has scored just six goals in its first five games while surrendering eight. Fans react as follows when they are unable to comprehend the club’s transfer policy:
divijk: “wtf are we building an army of defenders? Do Tuchel and Boehly plan to play as strikers??”
cfc_lover26: “So let me get this right – we could have signed Ronaldo, at least made an attempt for someone like Haaland/Nunez or hell even splash 120m on Osimhen but we choose to spend 300m on defenders. Seems about right”
larry johnson: “Tuchel has a defenders fetish man, it has to be that, no other f!cking reason to spend this much on defenders. Absolutely bullshit”
pulkitn: “So Tuchel refused to sign Ronaldo and Neymar but is happy with spending 300 fucking million on centre-backs when the issue is our midfield and defence?? I’m at a loss for words”
@PoojaMedia: Chelsea paid €90m for a defender that wont join them until next season.
Transfer window madness
@mister_ade5: I think Chelsea should go all in to get Maguire since the transfer window is still open.
@OsmanZtheGooner: Chelsea need attackers and goals. But they keep offering insane fees for defenders. And they already signed 2/3 defenders this summer alone. Weird
