It looks like Chelsea are going through the January transfer window having not signed anyone at all, all bar a slight chance of some late drama of course which can always happen.
But they’ve been linked with a number of different targets over the last month, but seemingly instead spent the entire time trying to recall a player whom of which they sent on loan in the summer to a club and gave them an option to buy him as well.
Lyon have reportedly rejected three attempts from Chelsea to offer compensation in return for ending Emerson Palmieri’s loan early and allowing him to come back to Stamford Bridge.
This is frustrating no matter how you look at it. Whether Emerson was first choice, the best choice, or anything in between, the fact is the club and Thomas Tuchel clearly felt they needed another wing back in this window, but bar any late drama, have failed to bring one in.
But I’m fed up with getting annoyed, and instead I am going to focus on the positive news from today that Reece James is expected back out on the training pitches for Chelsea within a fortnight, meaning he should be available to be in our World Club World Cup squad.
This is a good recovery, and to be honest, having James back will be like making the best January every and we should all be buzzing about this. He is SO important to this team and it will give us, the players, and the manager a huge boost going into an important part of the season.
James is so pinnacle to how Tuchel likes to play, and he is also a great source of creativity for our attackers, and even becomes one when he plays as well. So, getting him back is HUGE news.
No, I’m not excusing the fact we haven’t signed a new wing back, just preferring to ignore that fact and focus on the good news today at least!
