28 league goals and the title that season in 2008/09. Those two 2020/21 and 2021/22 citeh tile winners were freak exceptions, due to sheer overlaod of talent and Pep. They had 7 players score 10 or more goals each in both seasons. Their best League team, in 2017/2018, the 100 point side with 106 goals and a +79 GD, had Aguero firing them in for fun when he played (30 goals in 39 games, comps) 21 in 25 in the EPL

Citeh had Aguero for years, and Jesus scoring at crazy per minute played rates. And Bayern had Lewa for ages. Last season, with no Lewa, they never should have won. Dortmund choked. This season, Neverkusen is the best non big 2 (Bayern/Dortmund) German side since those early noughties Neverkusen great sides. Shout out to 2008/09 Wolfsburg. Great one season wonder.

Are you feeling Chelsea fans’ love? Pochettino: “I need to be honest with you — no, because I understand they were winning the Champions League, they won cups, the Premier League”. “Why are the fans going to love me after six, seven months?”, told Sky Sports.

Enzo Fernández: “I’m happy here at Chelsea, we want to play the next Champions League”. “I don't know where the leaving rumours came from — they had spoken on social networks…”. “I came out to totally deny that story, it’s fake”, told ESPN.

Petr Cech: "I miss my work but I don't have regrets". "After such a significant change, I was too worried that I'd always be comparing what has been done to what might happen in the future... I had a gut feeling that I was not in the right position so I left", told Sky.

Enzo Fernandez: "I don't want to leave Chelsea. I am very good here with my teammates and coaching staff, from the first day I have arrived". "The people at the club are treating me very well, I'm grateful for that. I will continue here until they want me to", told ESPN.

David Moyes to walk away from West Ham in the summer https://www.caughtoffside.com/2024/02/11/david-moyes-to-walk-away-from-west-ham-in-the-summer/ David Moyes may potentially leave London Stadium at the end of the season, as there are no indications of the manager signing a new deal with West Ham, according to The Telegraph. The newspaper reported on February 11th that Moyes “keeps his own counsel,” indicating that the possibility of him walking away from his position at the end of his current contract is not out of the question. Despite his recent successes with the Hammers, Moyes reportedly feels underappreciated by some fans due to growing concerns over his team’s style of football. There is indeed significant speculation surrounding Moyes’ potential extension at the London Stadium, particularly given the criticism he has faced despite West Ham sitting in eighth place in the Premier League and being contenders for success in the Europa League. Although there are some fans’ dissatisfaction with the style of football under Moyes, it would seem prudent to secure him with a new contract, especially considering the challenging years West Ham has endured prior to his arrival. Comparing the situation to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, where complaints about style are also present due to its repetitiveness, despite their dominance, highlights the complex relationship between playing style and results. While West Ham’s approach may differ, it has proven effective nonetheless.

Premier League star chased by Man City and Liverpool wants to join Man United https://www.caughtoffside.com/2024/02/12/premier-league-star-chased-by-man-city-and-liverpool-wants-to-join-man-united-in-summer/ Michael Olise, a target for Manchester United, would like to move to Old Trafford when the transfer market reopens at the end of the season. Olise is a player Man United may target for a purchase in the summer, as Sir Jim Ratcliffe plans to change the team’s recruitment approach. Premier League opponents are putting pressure on the Red Devils as potential suitors are considering whether to activate the Crystal Palace winger’s release clause. Reputable reporter Ben Jacobs is aware that Olise’s mind has been swayed by the prospect of going to Old Trafford. Jacobs is aware that Olise may be leaving Palace in the summer, even though he signed a new contract there only a few months ago. By showing Man United that he is willing to move to Old Trafford if he takes on a new challenge, he has given the Red Devils new hope in fending off opposition to his services. The transfer expert Jacobs knows that Ratcliffe is willing to approve a move for the former Reading star. He told GIVEMESPORT: “Even though Olise signed a new contract in the aftermath of Chelsea failing to trigger his complicated release clause, there is absolutely no doubt that he is a potential 2024 departure. “Manchester United’s old regime, before INEOS, really like Olise and he is tempted by the prospect of a move to Old Trafford as well. “All indications are that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS will endorse that move because, as part of their due diligence when coming into the football club, they were aware of any historical transfer plans that were for January – even though nothing materialised – and also any window planning for the summer. “There is continuity between Manchester United’s current recruitment team and anything INEOS do. They like a profile like Olise, so he can be termed a concrete target ahead of the summer.” After aggravating his hamstring injury during Palace’s loss to Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend, the 22-year-old has been sidelined for up to two months, which has dealt a blow to his attempts to win over more suitors. He had come on as a half-time substitute in an attempt to spark a comeback at the Amex Stadium. Though limited to just 755 minutes of playing time this season owing to injury concerns, the French star has scored six goals and assisted three goals. Reports have linked Olise to a move to United’s Premier League rivals Liverpool and Manchester City. The right-winger could spark a bidding war between the top Premier League clubs in the summer.

Clubs showing interest in Ian Maatsen after fine start on loan at Dortmund https://thedailybriefing.io/i/141595549/clubs-showing-interest-in-ian-maatsen-after-fine-start-on-loan-at-dortmund Ian Maatsen is doing very well at Borussia Dortmund, making a fantastic impact in his first five games there since joining on loan from Chelsea. The quality of his performances is very good, and the fans and manager are very happy with him. Dortmund want to wait until the end of the season to decide what to do - as I reported before, this current deal is a loan with no buy option included, but when Maatsen signed a new contract with Chelsea, it was with a release clause included. This is worth £35m and it becomes active in the summer, so the clause is available and it means Dortmund and other clubs can trigger the clause for Maatsen. Dortmund will decide in the summer, but of course it could be expensive for them. There are other clubs already exploring the situation because top young left-backs like this are not easy to find on the market. The feeling is that it’s already over between Maatsen and Chelsea, but there are many clubs keeping a close eye on Maatsen’s situation. Of course, things could change, but the feeling with Mauricio Pochettino as manager is that it’s probably over for Maatsen at Chelsea, so keep an eye on this one for the summer because there is already movement ahead of the summer transfer window.
