Vesper

I am almost certain it is completed

We need to buy a HG 2nd GK, hopefully Gunn. Add in Bulka as 3rd there is 3 HG's. Here is my ideal 25 man squad. 8 HG's. Feel free to flip Aké for AC. Aké is better atm, although AC has higher upside, just maybe not here. This assumes Eden, CHO, Luiz etc are gone. 25 man roster, (including 8 HG's, so no issue there) GK Kepa GK Angus Gunn (HG) GK Bulka (HG) CB Rudiger CB Militão (ball playing CB who replaces Luiz) CB Azpi CB Ampadu (HG) MF cover as well CB AC (HG) or Aké (HG) LB Chilwell (HG) I prefer Firpo, but Chilwell is HG, and I think Shitty grab Firpo. Could still do Firpo if we bought Zaha (HG) at winger instead of Suso. LB Alonso (or Emerson) RB Achraf Hakimi (came as part of the Eden RM deal) RB Reece James (HG) plus Azpi as cover DH DMF Jorginho DH DMF Sandro Tonali (after Paredes leaves to Boca Juniors from loan or buy we do now) CMF Kante CMF Nicolo Barella (He can play all 3 MF positions, so no pressure on Tonali to stp up instantly when Jorginho cannot play, we buy him and loan him back now) AMF Nabil Fekir AMF RLC (HG) LW Pulisic (right footed) LW Lozano (right footed) RW Suso (left footed) I prefer Nicolas Pepe, btw, but just trying to make most realistic deals, and I had us swapping Morata plus £10m to AC Milan for Suso. RW Malcom (left footed) Came in the Willian deal. CF Piatek CF Jovic CF Tammy (HG)

Azpi would not be good at LB, he has played there before, and struggled. Inverted fullbacks usually are bläääääää. I do, however, adore true multi-position capable players. Lucas Hernandez, £72m release clause, he us both a top LV (only Alaba is better IMHO) and a top 6, 7, 8 CB in world. Bayern is on the verge of getting him, grrrr. IMHO, we are insane to not be all over him at that price. He is literally 6 times the player Alonso is (triple as better and at TWO positions v La Tortuga's one). Benjamin Pavard, whom Bayern just bought for only £31m, top 20 CB, top 15 RB. He IS what AC SHOULD be. Frenkie de Jong, superb MF (any position in MF) and can also play CB, RB, and even LW. Mbappe and Dembele, both can play either wing, CF if needed, secondary striker, and even have seen them drop back into a number 10 role. Jadon Sancho projects to this too. Junior Firpo, cracking good LB, but can also play LMF, AMF, and LW, and CB. Valentino Lazaro, exact same as Firpo, just on the right. Kai Havertz, best young AMF in world, and can also play both wings, CMF, a number 10, and even CF or 2nd striker. Anthony Martial, CF and LW Sergi Roberto, top 5 RB, and can play in most MF positions too, as well as CB. Memphis Depay CF, LW, AMF, 2nd striker Nicolò Barella, anywhere in MF, also RB or LW in a pinch.

Probably Luiz replacement. As Luiz likely walks on a free in summer (we wont give him multi-year contract, a shit tonne of other too clubs will.) I have other CB's who are actually available whom I rate over Ake In order Matthijs de Ligt Milan Škriniar Lucas Hernández ( Bayern deal NOT done yet, and he is a top 3 or 4 LB in world too) Alessio Romagnoli Dayot Upamecano Manuel Akanji Éder Militão Jonathan Tah Nikola Milenkovic Issa Diop Thilo Kehrer Rúben Dias But Aké is HG, and unless it is between him and the ones the ones above starting with Éder Militão and up (as those all are clearly superior to Aké right now) I won't lose my mind. I rate him over AC atm.

Good. Done. next! Next as in Piątek and Jovic.

He is close to the top 30, but age scuppers him, as well as a history of crazy bad mistakes. And you must not watch many other leagues to claim no other CB doesnt what he does on the ball. That all said, no issues with him at all atm, he is a huge positive for us. We need to keep him for a year or maybe 2 more.

My advice to Arse fans after we beat them

Not to be a bitch, BUT hell no to a draw with those cunts I want Arse on a goddamn platter let's put those NoLo cunts to the sword Kepa Emerson Luiz Rudiger Zappacosta Jorginho Kante Kovacic Hazard Pedro Morata

dont need him for HG he has had his shot, and unless he really steps up in next 5 months he needs to GO

Icardi Dybala Timo Werner Jovic Piatek Haller Martial Memphis desperation oldster or soon oldster Cavani or Lewandowski fuck off with tubby, terminally regressing, arrogant Higuain or EPL hacks Wilson (decent back-up, but sorry, not buying the typical English hype) or Arnautovic (he is soon 30 ffs)

Luiz would be in the next 5 or 10. Purely for offensive/passing skill. CB is by far the deepest postion in global football atm. CMF is next. Then winger.

my current top 25 CB's 1 Kalidou Koulibaly 2 Virgil Van Dijk 3 Samuel Umtiti 4 Raphaël Varane 5 Matthijs de Ligt 6 Aymeric Laporte 7 Milan Škriniar 8 Lucas Hernández 9 Marquinhos 10 Alessio Romagnoli 11 Dayot Upamecano 12 Jose Giménez 13 Niklas Süle 14 Antonio Rüdiger 15 Manuel Akanji 16 John Stones 17 Éder Militão 18 Joe Gomez 19 Benjamin Pavard 20 Iñigo Martínez 21 Jonathan Tah 22 Nikola Milenkovic 23 Issa Diop 24 Diego Godín 25 Stefan de Vrij 26 Thilo Kehrer 27 Clément Lenglet 28 Davinson Sánchez 29 Konstantinos Manolas 30 Rúben Dias

agree!

He scored an absolute world class goal. That was it. Literally. In the first half he and Alonso were pure shit.

I am only concerned with fair value for Willian he NEEDS TO GO and Alonso could be replaced by 20 other LB's (or more) and it would be an upgrade he IS shit

We Joe Cole

I agree 10000% with all, BUT STOP DEFENDING ALONSO begging here baby he is pure shit

You all know I detest Willian BUT I HATE Barca and if they try to fob off a £35m deal (Malcom is worth £30m or so max atm, plus £5m cash) for a winger (Willian) they offered 65 MILLION QUID for 6 months back FUCK THEM

I am REALLY runk, we are really drunk and HAPPY we broke out the Bowmore Sea Dragon 30 Year Old at h/t to carry the lads through we are seriously superstitious liquor bishes

massive h/t to Willian I am nothing if not a girl who acknowledges brilliance that said Luiz for MOTM we MUST KEEP HIM

no matter what I am a Blue, literally born and bred I may talk mad shit at times, but even if we got relegated I am Chelsea to my bones I accept this I soooo respect the older fans who went though decades of shit play just do not want to SETTLE when we do NOT have too

I am only just turned 27 my friend, but I already have a lifetime of Chels making my life forced to accept 'the hard way' we are still at heart a blue collar gritty club regardless of the global pedigrees I accept this look at most of my targets almost all are tough, hard players

THAT IS PROPER ENGLISH CB PLAY

I only started slating him after than fucking emojigate then his SHIT performance this year I thought him a right proper twat for dissing Antonio I thought Willian was stellar a few years back he is no longer wish he was, but he is not I dont talk about it much on here as it was before I joined but I was (and am) a HUGE, massive , massive Conte fan I though he got FUCKED by our board only issue with him was the Costa nightmare, which I admit, was a big fuck up that we still suffer like fuck over to this day I REALLY miss Costa too I LOVE nasty attitude bullies love em he played decades before I was born but Chopper makes me wet
