It does make sense a bit. After Liverpool won CL and PL it was clear that their circle is over and imo for Werner it made more sense to join us than them because for the future we have most exciting project. I think I said it more than a year ago. Apart from Real you don't win b2b CL. It sounds weird but if your major goal is to win trophies it does make more sense to join some exciting project over team that just won tons of trophies because naturally they will fall. By saying that I am sure Chelsea is just on the beginning with CL last season. We have most exciting team since early Roman days and if we get Haaland we would expect top trophies in years to come.

If that's the case this deal is very close. We will pay 175m, no problem. Dortmund can buy Vlahovic for like 40m and spend Haaland/Sancho money elsewhere. Vlahovic also won't be available next summer so selling Haaland now would be smart business for them. And no player is worth 100m for just one season. Plus this is most reliable source about Haaland and no surprise it comes out after EURO. We are in full offensive!

Not official yet from UEFA but every team of the tournament I saw is with him in it. Add to that previous 23 players squad UEFA announced for CL. He is definitely the only player in both teams!

Shouldn't Sarr prepare for Olympics?
-
Is it? 5 games - 0 goals - 1 set piece assist for 4th goal against Ukraine. This is pretty much perfect measure of MM. This is how his average 5 games at Chelsea look like.

Happy with Mendy but I always wanted Donnarumma before anyone else. Such a shame.
-
They will be happy to pay after his value increases after the final.

Champions League Final 2021 - Man City 0-1 Chelsea
NikkiCFC replied to Jase's topic in Champions Archive
Silva, Jorginho yes (and Emerson who is leaving most likely) but Chilwell, Mount and James instead of French players. So I think Villarreal will come too soon for these players. Hopefully Chris is not seriously injured. Yes, James and Ben did not play but still they will get 3 weeks of holiday after the final. Mendy Azpi? ? Rudiger CHO Kante Kovacic Alonso Pulisic(Ziyech) Havertz Werner More than enough to get this trophy! -
According to bookies he is 3rd favorite to win UEFA player of the tournament award. Only Kane and Sterling ahead. So if Italy win he will most likely get it.

@OneMoSalah Playing and proving are 2 completely different things. Lets start from the beginning. Borussia conceded 50 goals in 34 Bundesliga games in his first season there and 49 in second. After that he came to Chelsea. First season was with Conte so 3atb. Second season with Sarri... He started just 6 PL games. 3 clean sheets in those. Huddersfield, Brighton and Watford. Plus he played regularly in EL but again opponents that are a joke mostly. For example against Liverpool it was 0:0 that season first half, Rudiger got injured and Chris replaced him and we lost 2:0. Not saying he is a fault ofc. Season after with Frank again just 3 PL clean sheets with him against Brighton, Burnley and Watford again. In CL also nothing, he played 4 games we conceded 10 goals. Last season he begun in starting 11. Brighton 1:3 win, 0:2 loss against Liverpool (thanks to him and that red), and two 3:3 draws against West Brom and Southampton. After that he was benched and best period under Lampard begun. After start of the season he only played in 1:1 draw with Villa. He was good in Sevilla tho. And now with Tuchel again 3atb. I am sure others also remember stat that we conceded only one goal under Lampard in season and half with Zouma-Rudiger pairing. When you put Chris with either it is a disaster. So when exactly did he proved himself in 4atb? In rare game against PL relegated team or against Hungarian or Greek side in EL? When we play against top teams with 4atb and Chris is part of that and we have great defense like now with Tuchel while keeping regularly clean sheets then you can say that he proved himself.

Not for starter of course. We are speaking what if we can't sign top striker, and both Olie and Tammy leave so we continue with Kai. Those are realistic options for backup.
-
Belotti over Ings. Similar price and situation.
-
The same pundits who criticised Sarri for that later praised Frank for doing the same. Jamie Redknapp also.
-
Incomparable. Mount is favourite player for 90% of Chelsea fans. Only 10% are bushing him. With Jorginho is opposite. 90% of Chelsea fans think he is semi pro player and should be sold. This is my impression.
-
Wtf no overtime on Copa?
-
Argentina already up. It will be great final.
-
Chelsea, Liverpool and City only clubs that still do not have any friendlies announced for July.
-
Can Paqueta play in our double pivot? Very interesting player.
-
I hope he recovers mentally after this. He is still nice lad and we know he suffers from things like this...
-
We were joking about Chris, Emerson, Mount winning it if their NT win EURO so that is in that category. With Jorginho is serious. And there are many who think the same... Definitely in top10. Today Barella and Verratti both got replaced and 3 attackers but not only Jorginho.
