Chelsea completed the signing of goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic in January for a sum of 13.6 million pounds, but he has yet to feature for Chelsea’s first team.
I honestly thought that Petrovic would be given a go against Brighton in the Carabao Cup, but Robert Sanchez still started that match and as we sit here today, I believe that this signing was utterly pointless and once again shows that the directors and owners show a lack of squad planning.
The club signed Gabriel Slonina also from the MLS, on a long contract, again for over 10 million pounds, and have sent him on loan, so what sense does buying Petrovic make who again, came from the MLS, is relatively young and has been put on a long contract?
One could argue there has been no chance for Petrovic to play due to Robert Sanchez’s form, but I think it wouldn’t be hard to find some Chelsea fans at the ground who don’t even know who Petrovic is, and that is not their fault.
Ponchetino shld give him a chance in one of the Carabao cup games or FA Cup games. Let’s see this young chap in action.
If you must know, the new Chelsea owners are into football business, which means, sign so many talents around the world, develop them, build a team with the Best of them, sell the sellable ones and continue buying.
The earliest some of you get this thing, the better for you.
Petrovic looks to me to have a big character. He’s a goalkeeper who might make the most of his chances before long. Chelsea should be looking at selling Bergstrom and others and building the team around Sanchez, Petrovic & Slonina respectively.
I don’t think that we were in a position to gamble with cup games.
He would have played if he had work permit when we played Wembledon,but that wasn’t the case,and couldn’t play against Brighton considering the changes we made for the game.
His time will come against Blackburn, hopefully he comes good then
