20 player were bought, but only a handful will start the Chelsea – West Ham derby

Even before the start of the famous London derby between Chelsea and West Ham, the Blues have an advantage over the Hammers by 100 million. In the just finished transfer window, the total amount of euros spent by the two clubs is 282 million against 182 million. But, today we will see only a couple of new singings in both teams.🚨 Clubs with the biggest NET spend this summer:-€227M 💰 Chelsea 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿-€226M 💰 Man Utd 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿-€164M 💰 West Ham 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿-€155M 💰 Nottm Forest 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿-€136M 💰 Newcastle 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿-€131M 💰 Tottenham 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿-€115M 💰 Barcelona 🇪🇸-€108M 💰 Arsenal 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) September 2, 2022 Chelsea finished the midnight run with a couple of signings like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Denis Zakaria, and in total, they have bought 13 players (youngsters included), but Thomas Tuchel can only count only on 4 for this derby. Marc Cucurella, Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly and Wesley Fofana. Their biggest signing in terms of position of need, Pierre – Emerick Aubameyang is suffering from a broken jaw, after burglars attacked his home in Barcelona and will miss this match.”At the moment, he cannot train, we just have to make sure he gets a mask. We need to provide him with a mask to protect his jaw and then we can start to try with the mask from next week” said Tuchel ahead of the match.Wiping out cross-city boundaries and exorcising Chelsea’s number nine demons: Auba is backCarney Chukwuemeka is more of the signing for the future, while Gabriel Slonina is basically a backup goalie, while Denis Zakaria still has to sort out his working permit, since all non-British players are in the process of getting one, after Brexit. Still, the Swiss international is only a panic buy, and will probably only make it to the bench in the future. Tuchel needed bodies in the midfield and the player was a flop after six months in Juventus. This is Chelsea’s worst start to a Premier League season after five matches since the 2015/16 campaign when Jose Mourinho was sacked before Christmas. The Blues have lost two of their last three in the Premier League so a win at Stamford Bridge is a must. Luckily for Tuchel, they have an equally bad team in front of them. Hammers have only one win so far, and 2 goals scored in 5 matches, even thou they brought Gianluca Scamacca for 36 million euros.Our eight summer signings… what a window! 🤩 pic.twitter.com/T8MsKOrbud— West Ham United (@WestHam) September 1, 2022 The Italian forward has a virus and is doubtful for the match, but will probably start, but out of 8 new players, many will likely miss this game. For starters, Alphonse Areola is the reserve keeper, while others are not currently ready, as admitted by coach David Moyes himself.“Is Gianluca Scamacca ready? Is Lucas Paqueta ready? Is Emerson ready? Flynn Downes? The answer would be no. Because it takes time for them to get part of the club. When you’re making changes it can be like that but we are in it now and in the game the other night we just started to look fresher in some areas of the team. That’s the way we’re going to be going forward” said the Scottish coach. Still, we can expect Scamacca from the start, while the record signing Lucas Paqueta will be involved at some point, just as Emerson.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 6Saturday14.30: (8.00) Everton (4.70) Liverpool (1.48)17.00: (2.30) Brentford (3.50) Leeds (3.35)17.00: (2.14) Newcastle (3.50) Crystal Palace (3.80)17.00: (2.14) Nott.Forest (3.50) Bournemouth (3.80)17.00: (1.53) Tottenham (4.50) Fulham (7.25)17.00: (2.40) Wolverhampton (3.25) Southampton (3.40)17.00: (1.58) Chelsea (4.30) West Ham (6.75)19.30: (8.00) Aston Villa (5.30) Man.City (1.43)Sunday 16.00: (1.96) Brighton (3.50) Leicester (4.50)18.30: (2.70) Man.Utd.
