Vesper

lol, from punk to funk (the presenter at the end) and crazy that Pursey will be 70 years old in 2 years (Feb 9, 2025)

I knew you did not mean leave both Enzo and Badi out

lol at the title on the web aggregator this one will make some heads snap here 🤪 Alongside Silva: Chelsea also working on new contract for ‘sublime’ Mason Mount, who is keen to stay https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/Chelsea-fc-news/Chelsea-mason-mount-latest-contract-news-updates/ Chelsea are working behind the scenes to secure a new contract for midfielder Mason Mount amid their work to tie town defender Thiago Silva. THE LOWDOWN: OPENING OFFER REJECTED The Premier League star has worked his way up through the academy ranks at Stamford Bridge to become a regular feature of the first-team squad, but there is uncertainty over his future having now entered the final 18 months of his deal. The Daily Mail claim that the England international rejected fresh terms offered to him before leaving for the World Cup last November which saw him heavily linked with a move to Liverpool. However, reports suggested that the 24-year-old was set to resume negotiations after the January window had closed, and it seems like that is exactly the case. THE LATEST: CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS PRIORITISED According to 90min, Chelsea are now ‘focusing all of their efforts’ into tying Mount down, with Todd Boehly previously admitting that agreeing an improved deal was one of the club’s ‘top priorities’ this season. The Blues maestro’s representatives are ‘aware of interest’ from potential suitors, but the player is ‘keen to stay’ and establish his place under Graham Potter. The SW6 outfit are prepared to make their youth product ‘one of the highest-earning’ members of the squad as a reward for his development and success over the years. THE VERDICT: ALONGSIDE SILVA Thiago Silva has openly confirmed that he’s likely to put pen to paper on a new contract in the coming days, and Mount could be set to follow in his footsteps by extending his stay in the capital. The Portsmouth-born talent has posted 70 goal contributions in 187 senior outings and is a vital cog in the centre of the pitch, currently averaging 1.5 key passes per league game. He also ranks in their top seven best top flight players by average match rating, according to WhoScored, and only Thiago Silva has played more league minutes than Mount this season. The midfielder is a mainstay under Potter and someone who is quite clearly rated highly by Brighton’s former boss. Mount has been described as a ‘sublime’ player by journalist Josh Bunting, and as someone who’s going to be so important for the future of the club, it’s essential they reach an agreement as quickly as possible.

I can accept Mudryk in and Felix out but neither Enzo and Badi out its ripping apart the spine of the team leaving both out litterally, if you look at the team in a back 4 the spine is GK CB CB DMF AMF CF so if you take them out the spine is 83.33 per cent spineless (well lets say 75 per cent, as I will give Kepa half a spine, lol) GK Kepa half fucked KK all fucked Thiago the ONLY 100 per cent to the good good part of the spine DMF (if no Kante nor Zakaria due to injuries) then who the hell knows, Gallagher? LOLOLOL 100 per cent fucked AMF Mount or Ziyech both well fucked CF we have ZERO on the CL roster, so its either Kai or Felix or some super shitty sham false nine (as opposed to the great Sham 69, lolol) so CF is actually negative point, not just zero

leaving out Enzo after we binned Jorginho would be even crazier than leaving out Badiashile no Enzo then our MF is in even worse shambles than our CBs with no Badi Kante is very likely not going to be fit (and if he is, it is odds-on he gets injured right away gain, I have ZERO faith left in his body, as I predicted) Kova has been injured a lot (he is going to HAVE to be healthy if we are going to go deeper), Zakaria is now injured as well Gallagher is overall shit, RLC is shit and injured, Mount is terrible atm, Carney is so inexperienced

I would have left Mudryk out I know it sounds insane, but Felix is more experienced and also the massive cost of his loan versus so few games he can play basically mandates he be included Mudryk has 8 and half years left on his contract and is on low wages FUCK UEFA rules limiting us to so few adds we should (and all clubs should) be able to do whatever they want with the CL roster

RWer breakdown It is obvious that Pulisic, Ziyech, and likely CHO are soon gone, and only Ziyech is a true RWer (sort of, as he is also an AMF, the point is he is shit on the left). Pulisic and CHO are weak on the right (and the left tbh, ffs) That leaves us with two clear LWers, both right-footed: Mudryck and Sterling And one RWer: Noni Madueke, a lefty No, Mount is not a winger, he is shit there, same for Kai, and very likely for Felix as well, plus, the same for Nkunku next season. Mount may not be here (and is 100% a MFer anyway), and those others are AMFs or SS's or false nines Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (ambipedal) is far better on the left than the right, same for Rafael Leão (right footed), and both will be close to 100 euros, or more. Chiesa, a right footer who prefers the RW is still very much NOT fully recovered (if he was, he would be my number one or close number two), the same for the lefty Oyarzabal (who actually prefers the left wing). I have no interest in Raphinha (a lefty) nor Sancho (right footed) at all. Demebele (ambipedal and my number one winger want last year after Chiesa went down) is NOT leaving Barca. Saka is a pipe dream. Gnabry and Coman are not leaving Bayern. so that leaves TWO legit, class, quality options both lefties Sane (but he actually likes the left wing more as well, ffs) and then the by far number one lefty RWer left Moussa Diaby (who we should have purchased 2 or 3 years ago)

Xavi Rules Out Manchester United Signing Ansu Fati From FC Barcelona https://www.forbes.com/sites/tomsanderson/2023/02/04/xavi-rules-out-manchester-united-signing-ansu-fati-from-fc-barcelona/?sh=7714ab646357 FC Barcelona head coach Xavi Hernandez has ruled out any chance Manchester United might have had of signing Ansu Fati. Reports emerged from Catalonia on Friday claiming that the Premier League giants were interested in buying the former teenager prodigy from his boyhood club. Fati is struggling for form and protaganism in Xavi's talented team which currently tops La Liga, with a decision to opt for a four-man midfield only leaving space for a right winger as either Gavi or Pedri operate as false left wingers. Probed on the rumors ahead of Barca's meeting with Sevilla at Camp Nou on Sunday evening, Xavi Hernandez poured cold water on any remote hopes Barca's opponents in the Europa League in under a fortnight might have had of landing the number '10'. "No, no, no... Things will work out for him," Xavi insisted. "We have to be patient. Ansu is a spectacular asset to the club. We trust him a lot, he is working very well. I am very happy with his tremendous mentality in training, but be patient. "He is 20 years old and needs time, like everyone else. Things will work out for him, now is not the time to talk about sales," Xavi said. United will get a closer look at Fati when they take on Barca twice in a fortnight in the mentioned Europa League playoff tie. For Xavi, though, it seems like a case of 'hands off' despite Barca's need to make a big player sale in the summer. This is due to La Liga president Javier Tebas revealing that the Catalans must shave €200mn ($220mn) from the wage bill as they are currently failing to meet Financial Fair Play limits for the 2023/2024 season. Xavi clearly has faith in his winger and striker, however, who burst onto the scene in 2019 as a 16-year-old and broke a series of youngest goalscorer and appearance maker records in Spain and on the continent for club and country. With the return of Robert Lewandowski from suspension, it is unlikely that Fati will get the nod against Sevilla tomorrow as Barca look to extend their five point lead at the summit.

Exclusive: Everton plot out-of-window Chelsea star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang signing, his deal could be terminated https://www.footballinsider247.com/everton-sources-Chelsea-signing-deal-auba/ Everton are eyeing a potential out-of-window move for Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, sources have told Football Insider. The Merseysiders are keen to sign a free agent forward after losing out on multiple attacker signings in January.

Rafael Leao makes decision after Chelsea January spending spree https://www.thechelseachronicle.com/transfer-news/report-rafael-leao-makes-decision-after-Chelsea-january-spending-spree/ Rafael Leao believes Chelsea do not really want him after their January spending spree and is now closer to signing a contract extension with AC Milan, according to Gianluca di Marzio. The Blues have reportedly been linked with Leao for a while, with even reports suggesting they were leading the race for the winger. However, rather than trying to convince Milan to sell their star player, Chelsea spent a reported €70milion (£63m) plus a potential €30m (£27m) in add-ons on Mykhailo Mudryk, another talented left winger. Di Marzio claims that Leao is now convinced that Chelsea do not have any serious interest in him after their January spending. “I expect a renewal, although I don’t know what the contractual conditions and the value of the clause will be,” the Italian journalist told Chiamarsi Bomber when speaking about Leao’s contract situation at Milan. “There is the intention on both sides to continue together. “[Leao] also knows that staying at AC Milan is the best choice because he is loved and considered by everyone. “Moreover, he understood that Chelsea didn’t really want him otherwise, given all the money spent in January, they would have made a mega offer for him as well.” Would Leao have been a better signing than Mudryk? Only time can tell, but both are obviously exceptional talents. While it is not impossible, Mudryk’s arrival might also have closed the door for any potential Chelsea move for Leao. Even if Chelsea were to offload Christian Pulisic, who is reportedly among the six players the London club are looking to sell in the summer, it seems unlikely that Leao would agree to move to Stamford Bridge without guaranteed game time.

Galatasaray on verge of agreeing loan transfer with Chelsea over striker David Datro Fofana https://turkish-football.com/galatasaray-on-verge-of-agreeing-transfer-with-Chelsea-over-striker-david-datro-fofana/ Galatasaray are on the verge of agreeing to a 1.5-year loan deal with Chelsea over striker David Datro Fofana according to Fanatik. Per the source, after a development in negotiations the Blues are close to agreeing terms with Galatasaray. The report claims that Chelsea initially were not keen on sending Fofana to the Super Lig but with the other major leagues transfer windows closing the Blues do not have many options if Fofana is to gain experience on loan. The Super Lig transfer window stays open until 8 Febuary 2023. Chelsea and Galatasaray are set for another round of talks where the possibility of reducing the loan term to six-months will be discussed. Despite only joining Chelsea in January the 20-year-old striker could struggle for playing time due to competition up front. After being left on the bench for the last three league games Fofana played 15 minutes in the goalless draw against Fulham. Galatasaray are keen on strengthening their attack as they continue efforts to win the league title. The Yellow Reds are currently first after winning their last 11 games in a row and are six points ahead of second-placed rivals Fenerbahce.

IF we decide to go Homegrown for a new right footed CB buy which one would you all prefer`? Saliba is by far the best, but Arse will never sell him to us unless he is like 30yo or older so Nathan Collins ? Taylor Harwood-Bellis ? (will City sell him?) Adam Webster? re-buy Fikayo Tomori? re-buy Guehi?
