It amazes me the amount of times last season we heard, "he's not technical enough, all he does is run" now we are playing a system that requires technical skill, people want him to stay! This is why I'm convinced some on here either just moan for the sake of it, are just miserable irl or trolling, because you cant moan he's not technical enough then want to keep him for a role that requires him to be technical 🤯

It's the kids kicking off for not getting the fancy new toys they want mentality.

Alot thought the same about Palmer have a watch of this, he's nothing like Connor.

I actually think KDH will suprise alot on here, he knows this system inside out and plays at the heart of it, I won't be surprised if he has a good season at all.

We have heard this forum all season saying he's shit, he offers nothing he needs to be sold in the summer, summer comes linked with a move away and now Chelsea are crazy for selling him and for 30m? So all the guys who said he's shit and needs to go now reckon he's worth much more than 30m and crazy to sell him, it's beyond laughable now.

Snap there fucking hands clean off tbh

I like Gallagher but he isn't out best midfielder.

TBF, clearlake have already submitted evidence against us from the previous owner and we have absolutely no idea what the books looked like, maybe they have to go down this road for the time being.

Did anyone order a new snake?

Going to call it now, opinions will change in this guy. Imagine petro or Sanchez with the defence he had...

Actually looks like a man now, and not a tied up bin bag

Where did you hear this mate?

I don't think this team is as good as the CL winning team yet, but I believe with good coaching and a set way of playing instead of just throw the kitchen sink at it, this team has the potential to be alot better, agree with enzos goal ratio, I don't think Enzo is anywhere near worth the hype or the money especially what I've seen so far, hopefully he proves me wrong, and as far for caicedo if he takes on the destroyer role and gets more assists I don't mind how many goals he scores, kovacic for me did neither, good said player, very good dribbling ability but left me thinking is that it.

Kai, people wanted him out, mount people wanted him out, jorginho for enough time people wanted him out, kovacic was a decent bench option at best, his goal ratio is shocking. This is what makes me laugh about the Trev situation, mount Gallagher CHO amount other people want/wanted gone, now all of a sudden we are ruining our youth system? If they are good enough they will break in, Trev isn't good enough and has had enough time here to show he never will, replacing him with younger players who might just turn out a hell of a lot better is a good call tbh.

Buying youngster is a tactic for 3 or 4 seasons away not 1 or 2, we won't truly know if this works for atleast 2 or 3 more seasons. I don't agree with every buy but I definitely agree with the way we are going.

Ok so we won a champions league in 2021, I'm talking about domestic league as we ain't even in the CL ATM, but what is better for me is we are going away from buying players past there prime or "absolute ballers from a farmers league" then going mental when they flop here. I also think the wage structure is better and the fact the club are trying to build a proper identity with the way we play, smash and grab stopped working for us properly years ago.

Haven't won the league since 2017, FA cup since 2018, league cup since 2015, yeah buying youth is clearly the problem....

Kids hate their parents when they dont buy them the toys they want, such is life.

So basically he saved 3/4 of the shots taken at him

No fofana is too young to be perma fucked, he's had plenty of recovery time and now he's getting into pre season, nkunku and lavia were just unlucky, nearly every player got an injury last season, and it wasn't just our club that had this problem, we need to look at the injury crisis as a league issue not just a Chelsea issue, to much doom and gloom on here.

We won't be a development club, you don't spend 1 billion to be a development club, you spend that to get the old out and hit the reset button, about time this club was ran like a business because with these FFP rules something has to give, we also can't buy every young talent in the world either. If we can get the blend right and hopefully we have the right manager now, we have a team full of fearless kids, which will mature into decent potentially some of them world class, problem is it won't happen overnight or over the course of a few seasons.

But that won't happen now, clubs not buying these "top" players every transfer window is the same and yet no one is getting the fact that isn't happening anymore, and we didn't need a top striker or a top CB, what we need is guidance and a clear way to defend and attack, we can't keep buying playing to fill a gap that won't fit the system any more doesn't work. Jackson got 14 goals in his first season, Palmer was immense caicedo finally started to click, we have fofana Reece nkunku and lavia coming back into the squad that's like 4 new signings there alone! What ever happend to giving a player a season to settle into a new league and a new culture? Or is it only Chelsea fans that believe that isn't a thing anymore.

It's amazing how embarrassing our fan base has become since we lost our sugar daddy.

TBF, we can't use the manager as an excuse then demand better players, if the reports are true and we worked on zero tactics just hard work, no wonder we got battered in the back and toothless in attack. And to add to that, no tactics just hard work and we still nearly got top 4 with a bunch of players this forums believes are mid table worthy... So either the manager was that bad that the players dragged us on, or the players are that bad poch did a good job, can't be both

Interesting, you didn't say Enzo, I also think colwil, caicedo Jackson, nkunku, James are quality as well
