Vesper

Horrid clearance by Azpi, he needed / needs rest

FUCK

now that Hazard is on BRING IN GIROUD FFS! Morata is beyond useless, I would rather have Torres back

I am really going to try and layoff Luiz. I do KNOW we need a new CB, but if Amapadu is not going to be used, I will attempt to accept Luiz until we wake the FUCK UP and buy a truly WC one.

AC is a LUCKY boy, I am sure this further cements Luiz as starter, I am just going to have to accept it.

OMG,we are on the LUCKY ride tonight, lol

I doubt we'll spend big money in Jan I doubt it too,but I will never stop advising us to buy Sarri the right players so we can truly get back to top 5, 6 team in world. Ratcliffe and Roman need to hammer out a deal for Jim to buy the team ASAP. Abramovich's political situation is dire, especial if the yank Dems take back the House and US Senate, and the Tories and Blairite Labour rotters double down on Putin as distraction for the impending Brexit crackup.

A decent attacker would make the difference 4 words. Buy Bailey In January

I honestly do not seeing him renewing. Even if its a 3 year extension, that would mean he would turn 33 in the middle of the first season (2023/24) post contract. If he doesn't renew, and leaves on free at 29 and a half, every major club will offer him a HUGE salary and probably a 5 year contract (ending when he is 34) as they pay zero for a transfer fee. This January and then the summer are last true chance to get the best we can from a deal. We valued him at £200m this last summer. I think we might get £160m, in January, if we are lucky. No chance over £150m next summer. I would take a January swap with Real, Eden and Alonso for Asensio. Kovacic, Jesús Vallejo (21yo ball playing CB). Buy Junior Firpo for LB from Real Betis and we would have solved multiple issues, plus avoided complete disaster with Hazard.

I don't mind seeing what Moses can do at RW. CHO is a LW, Moses a RW

Not happy with Cahill over Ampadu (not even on the bench!), Willian over CHO, Caballero (shit) over Kepa, and Azpi (he needs a rest) over Zappacosta.

Neves, de Jong, and Havertz are 3 best 21yo and younger MF's on the planet atm IMHO. Neves is a fucking beast, and the other two are just as scary high in potential. Neves is so so rare, as he is a NATURAL DH DMF, the rarest players on the planet, AND he is also offensive in terms of shooting and goals. de Jong can play anywhere on the field, except GK and striker, so maybe Pep (or US!!!!!!!) turns him into a DH DMF. My god, if we landed those 3, (especially if we lose Kovacic),we are set for the next 8 to 10 years or so in MF. LOL, you hit the one player I struggled with, Alli. Havertz would start for me anyway. I hate Spuds with the burning passion of a 1000 suns, and yes, he is overrated, but the only other 24yo and under AMF's who are remotely close close to him are Carlos Soler of Valencia or Talisca, who is on loan in China at Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao until January from Benfica due to FFP shite. After that I would go with Lucas Paquetá of Flamengo (potentially a superstar, Neymar is demanding PSG sign him)), Amine Harit of Schalke, Pablo Fornals of Villarreal, or Bruno Fernandes of Sporting Lisbon,but those 4 are a step down. I played by the rules, 24yo and younger, lol. Hell toss Barkley on the list with the 4 above. If you insist no Alli, then I put in Carlos Soler.

The Kante situ (after Hazard and his refusal to renew, plus our HORRID striker situ,and also CB (as long as Luiz is rammed down our throats), RW, and LB) is a huge issue at MANY levels. Sarriball cannot have a pure DMF destroyer role, it destroys the system ( see this https://theprideoflondon.com/2018/09/24/chelsea-sarrismo-ngolo-kante-midfield/ ), so we have effectively removed the world's best player at that role. The system will always win out as long as Sarri is the manager. The only other top 15 team in world that would have trouble integrating Kante would be Shitty,as Pep also employs a DH DMF as the deepest MF'er (the ageing and soon to be replaced Fernandinho,I am sure they go for Neves from Wolves, he is by far the best option other than Busquets, who is too old and will never leave Barca until he goes cashes in in the USA or maybe (doubtful) China at the end of his career,or maybe, maybe Rodri,who is now off the table via Atletico Madrid buy 3 months ago). All other teams would use him (even Barca)as atrue DMF destroyer. IF Kante cannot adapt and excel (we need to give him the full year to try,obviously) at the CMF/AMF hybrid role, we face a massive choice. Do we hold onto him,and wager that Sarri will be gone before he (Kante) is too old and has lost insane value? Or do we sell him (OUT OF THE EPL!!!!!!!) and collect £120m, £130m? I lean towards sell, BUT ONLY on 3 conditions. 1. We are FULL-STOP invested in Sarriball for multiple years. I AM at this point completely,I see the unique potential, it can dominate if we get the RIGHT players. 2. Kante simply cannot adapt,and is utterly wasted being shoved into a position he simply is not cut out for. 3. We take the sale money and at least TRY to grab Neves, thus blocking one of the few pieces to the Shitty puzzle It really WILL fuck them up, Fernandinho is going to be 35 in middle of next season,and it will force them to probably buy Julian Weigl or Leandro Paredes, or maybe, maybe maybe (or very soon) a young 21yo Argentine who plays with Stuttgart, Santiago Ascacíbar.Those 3 the only other remotely great young DH DMFs left at thsi exact moment, unless Shitty are insane and try to prise away Rodri from AM after only one year, which will cost, knowing AM) ,at least £100m. There is a wild card (see below at end) DH DMF is by far the main thing left that is stopping them from being the clear best team in the world (The only ones who can MAYBE block them, IF they do further big moves (and they surely will), are Barca and Real, Barca more so). Neves is not only 5 and half years younger than Jorginho (so a natural heir apparent down the road) BUT is also far more versatile, and could easily slot into the Sarriball CMF/AMF hybrid role with aplomb. He would be an amazing Kovacic replacement IF we lose Mateo back to fucking Real. By far the best thing for us is he DOES adapt, but come May/June 2019, if it has NOT worked out,and IF Sarri has been a success (CL football, etc), we really need to look at the long term picture. If that means sell Kante for £125m plus, then so be it. I will not lose my mind, as long as those 3 conditions above are met. My post on Shitty's only true needs is here: Wildcard there (and in this discussion) is Frenkie De Jong of Ajax. He is perhaps very likely might be capable of becoming a true Jorginho/Busquets level DH DMF. I am not sure on this. He seems capable of playing anywhere on the field, other than GK and Striker. DH DMF's is the hardest position in football to learn and master. Neves and Dejong are also the best young (21yo and younger) MF's, along with AMF Kai Havertz of Bayer Leverkusen on the planet atm. After those 3 comes Valencia's Carlos Soler, then followed by (NO ORDER) CMF Amadou Haidara of RB Salzburg, the above mentioned DH DMF Santiago Ascacíbar of Stuttgart, CMF Nicolò Barella of Cagliari, CMF's Tanguy Ndombélé and Houssem Aouar, both of Lyon, DMF Denis Zakaria of Borussia Mönchengladbach, Youri Tielemans of Monaco, DMF Amadou Diawara of Napoli, Franck Kessié of AC Milan, AMF Amine Harit of Schalke, AMF Lucas Paquetá of Flamengo, AMF Pedrinho of Corinthians, CMF Gerson of Fiorentina, and CMF Donny van de Beek of Ajax, IMHO, of course the post:

You mean if I could have any players under 25yo? First off, I will not list Messi, CR7, or Neymar. Also, many players I would take on a full 25 man roster are 25 to 28. So this will exclude Oblak, Ederson, Varane, van Dijk, Koulibaly, Alaba, Alex Sandro, Sergi Roberto, Kante, Jorginho, Kroos, Pogba, Koke, Verratti, De Bruyne, Coutinho, Isco, Hazard, Salah, Firmino, Icardi, Kane, etc. There are a few older players than those who I might want for depth, but 28yo is always a cut off for any list I make, as I look at it like actually buying players for a team, not putting out a best of all-star ATM thing, like FIFA's bullshit (Dani Alves, was their starting RB, 35yo, hardly played in 2018 due to injury, no WC, etc, a joke he made it, enough said). I am super harsh age wise, I do not believe in buying any players over 27, 28, especially no 30 somethings. Thus my stance on Lewandowski, etc, when older names are tossed out for us to get in the reality based world. Higuain is also a perfect example. Production falls of the charts for almost all players once they hit 31, 32, even younger in some cases. GK are sometimes the exception (and the drop comes 3 years or so later), but even those are really rare if you are talking truly world class. Buffon was a freak. My dream sub 25yo team (assuming we are Sarriball). This also is NOT based off our current roster,this is a 'pick anyone' side. I can easily plug-in the players we DO have into this, and pull some out of this list, to be realistic in terms of who I would buy FOR US in the real world. IF Hazard refuses to renew,and IF Kante simply cannot adapt well to Sarriball (there is no actual DMF destroyer role in the system, it's not possible to have one, so that really fucks Kante atm, I do think, however, he CAN adapt to new box to box role, but jury is out, I give him a full year to try), then these below are the only players I would keep off current squad (yes it is a harsh trim down).We HAVE to sell Hazard if he refuses to renew (and we are going to get fucked on price massively now) Kepa Antonio Rüdiger Andreas Christensen Ethan Ampadu Emerson (UNLESS he is perma-fucked from his knee injury at Roma, which may, unfortunately, be the case) César Azpilicueta Jorginho N'Golo Kanté (explained above) Mateo Kovacic (need to buy him perm!!) Mason Mount Ross Barkley Callum Hudson-Odoi Olivier Giroud (as 3rd striker, for 2 more years max) all the rest need to go go go (also, if/when FIFA changes to allow only 8 players out on loan, we have 32 to sell, eeek, I already have that list, will post as I study it more) So, Finally the team!! GK Kepa - Chelsea GK Thomas Strakosha - Lazio CB Marquinhos - PSG CB Matthijs de Ligt - Ajax CB José Giménez - Atlético Madrid CB Aymeric Laporte - Manchester City CB Niklas Süle - Bayern Munich LB Lucas Hernández - Atlético Madrid LB Benjamin Mendy - Manchester City RB Joshua Kimmich - Bayern Munich RB Trent Alexander-Arnold - Liverpool DH DMF Rúben Neves - Wolves DH DMF Rodri - Atlético Madrid CMF Saúl Ñíguez - Atlético Madrid CMF Sergej Milinkovic-Savic - Lazio CMF Frenkie de Jong - Ajax AMF Kai Havertz - Bayer 04 Leverkusen AMF Dele Alli - Tottenham Hotspur LW Ousmane Dembélé - Barcelona LW Leroy Sané - Manchester City RW Kylian Mbappé - PSG RW Leon Bailey - Bayer 04 Leverkusen CF Paulo Dybala - Juventus CF Gabriel Jesus - Manchester City CF Pietro Pellegri - Monaco Finally, to fudge/explain a bit Dybala turns 25 on November 15th, so I would replace him with Marcus Rashford of Manure or maybe, probably (IF he continues to score like he has so far), Krzysztof Piatek of Genoa or finally, Lautaro Martínez of Inter Milan. Pietro Pellegri of Monaco at 3rd CF is a pure potential inclusion (3rd strikers do not play much in Sarriball, unless there are injuries), he is only 17, but I think 4, 5 years from now (maybe sooner) he is going to be a monster, the next Italian superstar striker. 3rd GK would be absolutely be Alex Meret of Napoli At CB I almost Included Ampadu, as his upside is MASSIVE, would drop Laporte

KDB yes, it was the worst mistake in club history, IMHO. I am still bitter as fuck and went batshit when we sold him with no buy back clause.We were FOOLS. BUT Lets see what Salah does for next 2,3,4 years. Last year was so out of the ordinary, and if you look at his cumulative 8 years as a pro, it faces up as a one-year wonder. 19 goals total all comps 2 years ago 15 goals, all comps 3 years ago <<< we sold him here 9 goals, all comps 4 years ago 12 goals, all comps 5 years ago 10 goals all comps 6 years ago 7 goals, all comps 7 years ago 5 goals, all comps 8 years ago Last year he scored .85 goals a game This year he is (granted only through 15% of the season) he is scoring at HALF that rate tracking to 22 goals in ALL comps, and 16 to 17 or so in the league (IF he plays same amount of total allcomp games as he did last last year, which is unlikely) Still a BIG mistake we made, yes, but if he reverts to an adjusted norm of PLUS 50% above his first 7 years, he will score 17.5 goals a year If he reverts to a plus 100% norm (so double) 22 goals a year (which is exactly what he is tracking to there. Big loss, yes, but it is not like there a no other wingers who score 22 or more goals in a year, and certainly more than a few who can score 17 or 18 Of the last 13 Golden Shoe winners 12 scored more,or (2 times) just one less that Salah scored. 5 were NOT Messi or Ronaldo,and all but Suarez and Luca Toni were wingers From the 1967/68 to 2001/2 Golden Shoe (so 35 years) in all but 2 years (and those were only 1 less,and 2 less goals) the winner scored more than Salah, with a tonne of them playing winger Of the 11 Multiple winners (and Salah DID NOT WIN IT last year) 5 were wingers in the years they won 27 total Golden Shoes won by multiple winners, 17 of those were by wingers, so almost 2/3rds, and Messi and Ronaldo only accounted for roughly half of those Amazing season, he had,hats off, but let's see him do it over a sustained period THEN I will cry like a baby, lolol Scouser scum are acting and over-hyping like its a once in a lifetime thing, BULLSHIT

So thrilled for Lamps!!!!!

Major party going on in sheepshaggingville tonight!!

Mount stepped right up and slammed his home first. He looked great tonight.

2 1 Derby, lol, Mo may punch someone at the post game presser if it stands up

Mount looks great in the 2nd half!!

Red Card Romero, handball outside the box, woooot

1 - 1 , Derby tied it up on a superb free kick

I agree with this, and I do feel (I think you will also agree) we are owed an explanation of what is going on. It's baffling and worrisome. Need one in regards to AC, Ampadu, and CHO as well. If he refuses to play them, we run huge risk of losing AC and CHO (who is refusing to renew contract so far). AC can walk into all but 11 teams in world football and be pretty much a fulltime starter, and even on most of those 11 get more playing time than he is now. If Sarri starts Cahill over Amps or AC tomorrow (I am pretty sure Luiz will start, with Rudiger out injured), I am going to go mental.
