To think this all started with the Courtois - Kepa shit show Petrovic - Sanchez was interesting because you could see some potential in Petrovic and Bournemouth took that chance.

Knowing Joe Shields he'd be on the phone to City asking for Trafford's price.

Hato hasn't done too much wrong of recent times for a young CB/LB who's still learning and developing. Between Reece, Colwill, Hato you have a starting base for the backline but we need reinforcements badly. I fear that keeping Josh here would be ruining his development, at his age, he needs regular games, not bench warming duties. He should have been on loan somewhere in the PL this season.

There is still time for Neymar's sister to have a birthday again.

Carlo just wanted the rest of the football world to walk around like him with a raised eye brow. Seriously though,bizarre squad selection choices. Could be positive for us.JP getting rest and then a pre-season with Xabi,channel his frustration into positivity for next season and beyond. Could be negative as he may think the season the club had cost him this WC.but Barcelona are just browsing Harrods on dole money budget. So not bothered about them actually taking him,just maybe unsettling him.

I don't think Palmer is going to the WC, I honestly think he will take Foden instead.

Exactly

yes, people forget that defenders need to also be creatives, they can set the rythym of play from the back

Simple, buy Maignan and bring back Penders, Maignan won't cost the earth, gives us a quality keeper and can teach Penders everything he knows.

I am glad we now have what I consider as an experienced coach who plays attacking style of football far more than delightfully counting how many passes his players make before remembering that goals win matches. Good attacking play will bring out the best from this squad even as it is but I did like him to do a total clearout of our center backs. Only Colwill and Achempong should be considered to stay while they bring in 2 too level experienced quality cb. We kind of lack creativity as we don't have skillful ball carriers. Our players tend to lose possession easily when under pressure except Joa Pedro who has really improved on this. Delap, Guiu, should be sold. Let's bring in another top striker like Laurato Martinez or Osimhen. With the right signings, only 4 or 5 incomings can set us up as title contenders. 1 or 2 experienced quality centerback (s), 1 ball carrying creative central midfielder, 1 top class winger, 1 top class striker.

But can he barge into players like a tractor?

In my auckland in August 2026 it's a preseason friendly with my 2024 established and founded Akl FC women debuting in 2026/27 A-League women season.

Ancelotti’s gone senile bless him.

Yep. That’s kind of my worry if we throw Penders into the fire too early. He may be super talented and the next Courtois but what if he comes in and makes even more mistakes than Sanchez because he’s so young? We’re in kind of a tricky place with keepers. We go sign a world class, super expensive keeper and that’s curtains for Penders’ chances here after we spent a huge amount of money on. We stick with Sanchez and we’re never going to be a truly top side. We put Penders in straight away and we risk him producing howlers as he’s getting up to speed.

I’m a fan of selling any player that doesn’t want to be here!

Problem is, he at the annoying reverse sweet spot (for want of a better word) where we need an upgrade for titles but can do a lot worse (as we've found out twice).

Yeah, ideally I don’t want to sell him. If he is happy to continue here then I’m happy with it too.

he literally said they should call up neymar over him.

he is any good or another potential player from strasbourg?

⏳️📋🔵Valentín Barco has everything agreed to continue his career at Chelsea. The official announcement could be made at the end of the season. ⏳️ (@urieliugt)

I remember Andrey turned down a good offer from saudi arabia to play in the world cup and now he wasn't called up for the national team. we could've gotten 70M€ for him

Its good for us. He can finally get some rest and come back stronger next season. If he were in brazil's squad and had a good world cup, barça would be much more interested in him. Btw, Palmer probably will be left of england squad and finally had a proper rest.

Ancelotti is really going to find out the hard way, Brazil are like Real Madrid full of egos, average players living on the past and it will all end in tears.

I feel for him. He deserved to be there. Has been our best player this season and hit 20 goals without any penalties included.
