Gundalf

Next Chelsea manager.

Interesting move. We will see in 1-2 years if it was worth it or not. Palmer 2.0 or not, who knows. (for sure nobody in here)

Jokes aside: people are so quick to judge. This guy is 20. When Alvarez was 20, he was playing in Argentina, scoring only a couple of goals there. Pretty sure people would have been quite underwhelmed if we signed him back then. Now they are willing to spend 70-80 millions on him without hesitation. I mean: there were people here claiming that Palmer wont even make the starting lineup when we announced his signing. Don't judge too early.

Duran was born in Medellin. So ig he has some lucrative connections.

Quite shocking when u realise that this fake happened almost 10 years ago and the media really believed it. With AI and all that stuff, there will be lots of these in the future.

Best deal in the history of this club.

Real is just a freak club. Normal things dont apply for them.

In a specific environment yes. He would totally fail here tho.

We could have beat that Real in the final 😝

BVB should be an inspiration. Their talent on the pitch isnt bigger than ours. Everything is possible as a team.

We need to level the books asap.

90% of the squad fits very well for Maresca's style already (the CB pairing of Colwill/Fofana - if he can be fit - would be ideal for Maresca), and the ones who dont will get addressed in the transfer window. We are already in for a GK, CB and striker.

Maybe Tosin isnt better than Trev but he definitely isnt worse either, so getting him for free and selling Trev for some millions seems smart from a business point of view.

Is Mamardashvili even good on the ball? Ball playing abilities seem to be even more important than shot stopping for Marescas system.

And this in Athens. Awesome.

Should be easy for us to win this competition.

Well, we need another striker. But I agree, Osimhen isnt the guy.

Depends on how much money we have and if we really toss it on Osimhen and Olise. Its really better to forget about Conference League. These FFP rules are too much atm.

Then we would need another CB.

It will be Tosin in for free and Chalobah out for pure profit.

Long-term project

Looks like a perfect match.

If its true that Clearlake wanted De Zerbi and the sporting directors Maresca and we get Maresca, these sporting directors surely are putting their jobs on the line here. So they must be very very sure about him. If he fails, we will have to rebuild our whole structure again tho. At least he is Italian too. We tend to win titles with Italian managers.
