Disasi is worse, but Badi is 2nd. They both are shite.

Jadon Sancho’s permanent transfer to Chelsea is a done deal for £25m, it can be revealed. The Blues won’t use the £5m option to cancel the deal and send him back to Manchester United.

Real Madrid’s Eduardo Camavinga suffers abductor tear, expected to miss Club World Cup https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6304431/2025/04/24/real-madrid-eduardo-camavinga-injury-latest/ Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga has suffered a left abductor tear. Sources close to the club and player fear he will not recover in time for the Club World Cup, which begins in mid-June with the final on July 13. The 22-year-old sustained the injury in Madrid’s 1-0 win over Getafe on Wednesday. He came on as a substitute at half-time, replacing David Alaba who was feeling discomfort himself, and ended the match limping. Manager Carlo Ancelotti said after the game that both players were dealing with “muscular problems” before the club confirmed Camavinga’s injury on Thursday. “Following tests carried out today on Eduardo Camavinga by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with a complete tear of the tendon in his left abductor muscle,” Madrid said in a statement. The injury is a significant blow to Madrid, ruling Camavinga out of Saturday’s Copa del Rey final against Barcelona and potentially the rest of the domestic season. Madrid’s first game of the expanded Club World Cup is set to take place on June 18 against Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal. snip

https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/player-profile-mamadou-sarr Good Morning Everyone, As promised on last weeks pod, see below player profile on Mamadou Sarr! Mamadou Sarr Player profile; Age: 19 Nationality: French (Uncapped) Position: Centre Back (Right-footed) Height: 6ft 5in Sarr began his football career at Étoile Sportive de Saint-Laurent-Blangy, before joining Lens, where his father plays. He then moved to Lyon in 2018. During the 2021–22 season, at only 16 years old, he established himself as a starter with Lyon under-19 team. In May 2023, Sarr made his professional debut in Lyon's 3–0 Ligue 1 victory against Reims as a substitute. January 2024, Sarr moved on loan to RWD Molenbeek in Belgium until the end of the 2023–24 season. In August 2024, Sarr joined Strasbourg for a transfer fee of €10M and signed a five-year contract. Style of play; Sarr is known for his strong defensive ability as well as his on the ball tendencies. He's considered a complete defender in terms of attributes he possesses, but one who can improve in all facets. He excels in tackling, marking, and aerial duels, while also having good passing skills and a decent level of athleticism. Key Characteristics; Solid Defender: He excels at tackling, marking, and winning aerial duels. Ball-playing Center-back: He's comfortable with the ball at his feet and uses his passing to help build attacks. Versatile: He can play as a center-back and defensive midfielder. Physical presence: He's a tall player with good physical strength and stamina. Good anticipation: He reads the game well and anticipates the play. Composed in possession: He maintains his composure under pressure and is confident with the ball. Strengths: Tackling: He's known for his effective tackling. Marking: He does a good job of marking his opponent. Aerial duels: He is strong in the air and wins many aerial duels. Passing: He has good passing accuracy and can distribute the ball effectively. Anticipation: He reads the game well and anticipates the play. Physicality: He is strong and physically imposing. Composure: He stays composed under pressure. Areas for improvement: Concentration: He can sometimes lack concentration, leading to costly mistakes. Nonchalance: He can be a bit too relaxed at times, which may improve with experience A couple of clips below that are worth watching; Verdict; For £11.9m it is a really risk free signing, he comes with pedigree in French youth and now senior football and has the physical profile we require. After doing some extensive research on the player I am now excited to see him in Blue. With the heavy ins and outs expected at centre back this summer he could come in and really help us! A CB unit that hypothetically looks like; Colwill, Huijsen, Tah, Sarr & Fofana would look great to me! Hypothetical I know….. Luke Rushbrook
