Really? A manager as structured as Poch wants to have Kante protect the back 4 when he had disciplined CMs at both Saints and Spurs? Stop the cap.

Has to be Lavia + an already established DM. Don't trust Lavia enough to hold his own with Enzo when we are aspiring to challenge Top 4 next season. Enzo Ugarte/Rice/Caicedo Lavia Santos Kante.

Reading into it, Romano claiming that as a formality Deco offered Raphinha to Chelsea. No way do we even entertain it.

Won't ever happen. His natural instinct and best attribute is covering ground and winning the ball back. A holding midfielder is disciplined in the space that they cover.

Is Onana even better than Mendy? Really hope we go after Ugarte. Good ball winner and passer of the ball. Will complement Enzo well and a good Argentina/Uruguay dynamic.

Mate if you want a player that will play for the badge and run like a headless chicken for 90 minutes then sign me up. I'll do it for 10k a week.

Matt Law just reported the club may bring in intermediaries to help assist Stewart and Winstanley in selling these players, as our previous markets in Italy and Spain are now facing financial issues. Another report is suggesting Gallagher's 40m valuation is now deemed to high by Premier League clubs. Note that if true, we had both Newcastle and Everton willing to pay this in January. More should of been done to get Gallagher out of the door then.

You know what I get excited about after every defeat? The next 12 year old Romano is saying we are buying.

I think the tide has turned. Poch shouldn't be grateful Chelsea Football Club want him, Chelsea Football Club should be grateful Poch want's to work for them. Poch 100% knows this and is likely making his own demands now that we probably can't refuse. I just came to learn that there was a clause in Wenger's contract at Arsenal that the Kronke's couldn't enter the dressing room. I had no idea this was an actual thing. 1000% Poch is likely requesting that along with more control on decisions.

Just saw a James Cordon ad on my stream.

Yeah just wait until we see the Gallagher + Sterling striker partnership.

Going to be another eye sore of a performance.

Right but how much influence did Edwards have in those deals? He was heavily involved in player identification since 2016.

I'm more arguing against the notion Klopp had full control.

Didn't Klopp want Brandt and Edwards opted for Salah? Also could of sworn there was more than one situation like that with Klopp/Edwards.

Saw an analysis on him and that apparently his link up play in the box is very good and his better than Kane in the build up phase. Serie A tax and all that but very promising stats.

Think James and Mount are starting their surgeries now vs at the end of the season where they'll show up to preseason unfit. Hope this means they miss international duty as well and can just focus on coming back 110% at preseason.

If this were FIFA i'd probably would've gotten relegated for the amount of times I did that.

Particularly when you are asked to fine tune a defensive game when your attack consists of Mbappe, Neymar, and Messi. Tracking back and pressing is Chinese to them.

Whos was?

Serial winners in Mourinho and Conte also failed at Spurs.

How is Poch boring? He genuinely made Kane and elevated a tremendous amount of players through his coaching alone.

I think if Vivell and Co are saying they don't agree with their own man Nagelsmann, that says more about the manager than the club.

The report seems like it was the club that turned down Nagelsmann, not the other way around?

I'd rather you keep drinking the same drink that helped you perform at the highest level and build on that, vs replacing that drink and ruining everything by getting a lemonade brand that was always destined to make you sick. Perhaps you view Tuchel as some mythical figure that can do no wrong, but you've seriously deluded yourself if you think he has no accountability on the Lukaku signing or that the club went over his head and got Lukaku without his permission.
