This is good question and next season will tell if we bring him. But TT also wanted Hakimi. In games I mentioned above I dont think he would help us that much. Because: My big hope is Kai playing behind Haaland and delivering in terms of creativity. Ziyech should also be much better. Ben and Reece can be useful if Haaland is good with head which I dont know.

Yes, CL title changes everything but if you look only PL, Conte in first season won 93 points. 49 in first part of the season and 44 in second part. TT 38 points which is 76 full season if he did the same. Conte in 2nd season 70 but also won Fa Cup. But again RDM also won CL. So this season will tell a lot. Less than 85 points with this squad is not acceptable for Tommy.

My examples are almost 50% of games under Thomas. If you remember these games or watch them again you will see the struggles. I never said a bad word about him, sacking Lamps was such a relieve and he improved us massively from day one plus delivered biggest trophy. Big fan of him. But we need to point out at struggles, it was not ideal. With Ben and Reece as wing backs and MM as one of the 3 attackers we had pragmatic approach with 9 players you dont expect to score. Tactics was to nick 1:0 wins with amazing defense which we did successfully many times. This is something I would like him to change next season and to put at least 4 offensive players because I dont think it can work in long run.

We may created many chances when you count half chances, set pieces and everything possible which these stats do but I remember many, many games where we struggled to do anything. If team has 2 or 3 shots on target that cannot be a good game offensively. Wolves first game, what was our best chance? Spurs away, just 2 shots on target but not really good chances, won the game after the penalty. So that is one shot and the other is CHO attempt from 25m... SU away after also penalty needed and 3 shots on target, overall created very little. Barnsley game after in Fa Cup, just one shot on target, only goal. Southampton 1:1 again pen only goal, created nothing. Atletico away, was solid performance but again created shit from open play, Olie wonder goal saved us. United, Porto 2nd game, Brighton, LC in final... LC at home in round 37 again corner and pen needed for goals. Even Arsenal at home 0:1 Kai missed sitter but that came after Arse defense mistake. We struggled in all these games to create something from open play. I agree we created a lot in Madrid for example, Liverpool, Leeds and some other games where we should score much more and converting the chances was a problem. But this is 12 out of 29 games under TT where we struggled to create badly from open play. Not sure how good we were in WH, Porto first game, SU in Cup wins either. WBA and AV losses were weird games and different things decided. So yeah, we are not really creative team from midfield and wing backs under Tuchel. Far from it.

Dont expect players who came yesterday to be involved here.

From Dortmund POV not only I would sell but I would be really excited to have +200m pounds in this market. They lost all money last season for always sold out Westfalen. Malen is already there. So many great players available for low prices, with just one year left on contract many of them. Aouar, Vlahovic, Zouma, Kostic, Kabak, Abraham, Ginter, Sule, Zakaria, Corona, Kamara, Belotti, Lacazette, Romagnoli, Milenkovic, Cantwell, Di Maria, Boga, Bakayoko, Tolisso, Isco, Emerson... They could bring back Dembele. They could possibly buy 7 or 8 players and make really strong team. So many options, they just need to be creative with Haaland/Sancho money.

Package absolutely makes sense tho. It was expected number. Potentially 150m pounds for Dortmund. Or 65m next summer. They'd be very stupid to decline. They already sold Sancho under the market price. So from potentially 250m pounds for both no chance they lose them for just 135-140m. Haaland is coming 🤩

Mangiante confirmed that tweet.

'with the chances Tuchel's team create game after game', is most controversial.

TT: Even I cannot make players out of you guys.

Palace is making very interesting team. I think they will play with 3 atb if they get all targets. Kabak, Andersen and Guehi. Gallagher in MF with some of the guys they already have. Some solid GK options as well. Zaha and Eze are deadly from flanks. So they would need to sort wing backs and striker to be very solid team.

Griezmann was back in 2016 my number one guy. At that point I would give Atletico Willian, Pedro, Oscar, Fabregas all for him.

I agree but Griezmann wants only Spain.

And Kenedy and Bakayoko. Kepa & Rudi BFF 💞

This is weird. Now seeing James playing for United makes me wonder where the fuck is Ampadu? 4 full weeks since Wales last game. Not to mention he got red card and did not play against Denmark. Plus he did not had longer season like our players because of CL final which I assume is the reason for longer vacation. He should have been on day one for pre season fighting for his spot. In the end of the day I don't think he is Chelsea material player and wouldn't be surprised if he is sold for 10-15m this summer.

Werner also said Lampard was main reason why he choose Chelsea after Liverpool rejected him lol

You can add Alex Sandro to that list. Conte didn't get those 3. History repeat maybe. I hope not. VVD, Alex Sandro, Lukaku in 2017. Haaland, Hakimi, Varane 2021. OK maybe TT doesn't want Varane but he is world class and available. Everytime we are so close to make that generational best team in Europe we fuck up.

Well deserved extinction 😂😂

Eric Clapton said he is not going to perform in venues where they ask for vaccination proof.

Well, if you add Simeu it is 4 actually.

Saw on his instagram story that he is already training by himself.

Plus Pulisic. I am actually more excited for that team because Alonso is better offensively than Chilwell. CHO is better than James and Pulisic/Ziyech are also more likely to do something in the final 3rd than Mount who is midfielder. So luckily this situation will limit TT in his usual pragmatic approach.

Mbappe was out the same day and he come back yesterday for pre season. We probably give longer vacation because of that extra week for CL final (and winning it). But if it is the same for all players no chance Jorginho, Emerson, Mount, Chilwell, James and Silva are match fit to play Super Cup or either Palace.

I saw nowhere that narrative. Question for people who think we have great chance this summer and zero chance next summer is why would he join us now and not wait for that preferred destination next year? In the end of the day, he and Raiola have their demands and some clubs will offer that package but what team Haaland wants will decide. So if he wants Real, or Barca or Bayern why would he move to Chelsea now... He would wait ofc... So my point is that we have same chances this summer and next summer. I have no idea what Haaland wants...
