Hope they buy Rice for this.

Yeah, after Qatar add Saudi...

How did he do tonight?

I barely watched Kounde so I am not going to say anything about his abilities. But speaking about height, in 3 atb, one CB being shorter is less of a issue. Walker just played it for England and he is 178cm. Azpi the same. Reece just a bit taller. D Ambrosio played regularly for Conte and he is 180cm. In 3atb, one CB being shorter and with pace is almost advisable. It would be a issue with regular formation but even there you have example of Barca dominating Euro footy with Mascherano 174cm and Puyol 178cm. Kounde as RCB with Chris in the middle and Rudi LCB would not be a issue at all.

Apples and oranges. Lewa is still best striker in the world. Would cost +100m and that would mean no Haaland. We are talking about Griezmann on loan for a year before Haaland gets available.

So Mount will be there like tomorrow 😎

After playing Villarreal on Wed. night we are scheduled to play Palace on Saturday 15:00. This can only happen in PL! Villarreal play their first match ofc on Monday - 5 days after Super Cup. Legs are tired after pre season, but no, they try to fuck us... And on top of that we will have Silva, Jorginho, Mount, Chilwell, James coming just around week before SC and after that very hard fixtures with 4 of 6 big clubs in first six rounds. Add to that most likely zero signings. I am afraid for start of the season. City also have: Spurs, Arsenal, LC, Chelsea and Liverpool in first 7 games in league after CS. Some would say Pool and United are favorable...

Ironically I expect all our attackers to step up next season... Puli, Hakim, Timo, Kai... But can our defenders keep it at this level? Silva and Azpi are veterans. Rudi and Chris have difficult contract situation...

Quality over quantity. Now sell Zouma and buy one top CB.

Sinisa Mihajlovic is the guy who promoted them and gave debuts to 18yo Locatelli and 16yo Donnarumma.

I also do not buy narrative that it is now or never. Reliable journos said that he is open to Chelsea. Why would not he choose us next summer? If that is the case AG on loan would not be the worst move.

I see similarly in them also when Kai plays number 9. I mean Kai and CR. Never seen the kid.

If it happens it will be last day. Wouldn't rule out January move as well. 120m euros should be enough in January.

Amazing job by the club. 15-20m for a player who never played in PL. I expect always a few players from the academy in the squad but I guess Guehi is not amongst them. This is why our academy is great, we can get tons of money. Tomori, Guehi, Abraham get us almost 100m. Plus we have many more. Pretty clear Ampadu is not good for us as well, sell him as well. So it is always win - win for Chelsea. Even if Billy Gilmour doesn't become what we expect nobody should care, he'll get us profit.

Spain has by far best Olympics team this year. Many players from EURO. They should won it with ease. Pau Torres also in the team so this means he wont be able to play against us. The boy played EL final, EURO now Olympics, when is his vacay?

Ter Stegen Emerson/Dest Garcia Lenglet Alba De Jong Pedri Saul Messi Aguero Depay Plus Fati, Dembele are injured now. Experience players like Pique, Busquets, Roberto, Coutinho are also still there. They should be better than last season for sure. And I agree CB is biggest problem.

Is Bruce good for Conor? @Tomo

We should be in for him.

CHO is very young and if you look his output in terms of goals and assists per minutes I think he is pretty good for his age. For me still most exciting player from the academy for the future.

Now official! Only player in both teams!
