re: Chelsea 2022/2023 Season Long Thread | So long lads,we’ll see you when we see you

I'm mixed on CR7. The guy still has "it" and would be an instant improvement at striker. However, he could be a mess for the clubhouse.

We are a much improved squad with him in it, so I lean towards "go for it" as a short-term solve. Trust that Tuchel can manage him effectively...

Marc C deal almost completed. Brighton saying it isn't complete. Cowell on a loan or permanent with buy back clause appears to be what's holding it up. Provides some depth at LB so that's a positive.

I am surprised we don't rate Emerson more...he played well in the Euros and seems like good depth behind Chilly. More athletic than Alonso but not as good at crosses or free kicks. seems like he has the makings of a backup for Chelsea but rarely gets an opportunity.

Kenedy is the other random guy on the roster...he is flashy but it has just never clicked.
