We nonetheless have to attend and see how lengthy Cole Palmer is out for as we have to anticipate him to get his scan, so we don’t know the way lengthy he can be out for but.
However the level of this text for now at the least, is to only say that though not having Cole Palmer in our workforce would by no means be perfect, we can cope.
Enzo Maresca wished to prioritise bettering his assault this summer season, and Chelsea have added extra gamers to the squad this season who can do the Cole Palmer job. It’s not all on his shoulders. In fact there may be not one single a part of me that desires to play with out Cole Palmer, and it will very a lot concern me if we even must play one recreation with out him, as a result of he’s that good. However Chelsea can be OK with out Palmer if we have now to be, and I’d be much more assured on that if we managed to signal Xavi Simons this week.
Palmer is class and everyone knows how necessary he’s for Chelsea. However it’s additionally as equally as necessary that we don’t turn into and keep depending on one participant on this squad and that’s what they’ve tried to handle this window. We can’t simply be Cole Palmer FC like we have now carried out earlier than.
Paul Merson has been talking on this not too long ago and I coated his quotes in an article final week. However I’m hoping that Chelsea can show him fallacious on this one, because it’s so necessary to not be a one man workforce.
Go get Simons carried out and I believe we’ll be nice in these artistic areas at the least. As you already know, my considerations are on the again within the goalkeeper and centre again positions.
Is Piero Hincapie the reply at centre again? I actually don’t know. He’s a very good participant, however is he the proper profile we want? I don’t know. Anyway, I nonetheless assume it’s unlikely that we convey a centre again as a result of these UEFA restrictions on us.
