this says it all for me. They are going to take that astronomical fee they want for Osimhen and buy arguably a better fit for us in their top prospects. I’d take all of those options instead of him.

I’ve seen that somewhere arsenal want to rival us for VO signature. Would we be okay with this or should we get him and not allow arsenal the chance for a decent forward. I believe if he did go there he would improve them but I also believe their are more suitable options for us that would improve our CF spot.

Too be fair he’s been walking around since he landed on his shoulder probably still in discomfort

I have a feeling if Carney can stay healthy we can really move up the table there’s something about his presence on the field with Palmer that gives me so much confidence.

Probably because the club is paying for security to protect his family back home

Here we go! Let’s get this result

Poch has this thing with tall LB during his days as Spurs his favoured LB was Vertonghen

Not just them Cameroon too. So much so that Eto'o called them out and said none of them deserved to play for the national team because they play with no heart. Also the team that just beat Ivory Coast is playing a RB(with club team in spain) as a striker. That is ridiculous.

Good news for all of us who didn’t see Malo Gusto in any training photos this week seems he’s not on the injured list, and the Chelsea Media team just have been neglecting him

Artem Dovbyk 19 minute hattrick today. The lad has 19 goal contributions 14G and 5A. https://youtu.be/f_riEHmK1MY?si=44ZfZ2hz2W81jU-B

Leverkusen is impressive they are finding ways to win - unbeaten in 27 matches is crazy ! and with that Bayern loss today its looking pretty good as long as they stay focused

If we were looking for a wide forward I’d say this was a missed opportunity however there are players like Cyril Ngonge for Hellas Verona who could be just as dangerous. One to keep and eye on

He’s playing too far forward he’d probably be more impactful in the box to box 8 role where he can shoot from distance and arrive late to the box. He’s not a 10 at all.

The Leipzig vs Leverkusen game was so entertaining. Xaxi Simons and Openda are both really good and they still lost.

I don't understand our board fascination with Brighton players. If you want their players so badly get the guys who identify them before they go there. If we wanted Barco which I know I saw some stuff a few weeks back about it we should have purchased him. However their are LB who could do a hell of a job and are a lot more durable than who we have there now. Ito from Stuttgart being one or even Melvin Bard from Nice.

If you read that whole thread it goes from the kid is magical and we have to many midfielders so they should sign him for the PL campaign to he’s a loan player so we should develop our own and stop giving him minutes.

They really may be selling Conor in January - recalling him before the year is up when Leicester have injuries and players away at AFCON. Although I did see they are trying to bring in Sensi for their midfield. So maybe we saw his minutes were going to go down so decided to bring him back and loan him elsewhere. Also it seems Ugo injury is worse than they thought hence why we haven’t heard anything on a loan for Santos since his recall they both could end up staying with the squad.

If we were to sell Conor we would have to replace him with someone like Ederson from Atalanta. I’ve been watching a lot of Serie A this year and he looks like exactly who we want Conor to be. High pressing but very technical. And he’s over 23 so moving into the best years period of his career.

That’s a great transfer for them would love him here.

If you ever see me fighting in the forest with a grizzly bear, help the bear!

I think he’s actually a far better keeper than what he’s shown so far and as he continues to play will continue to grow. The biggest thing is the it feels like the team feel more secure with him in goal especially with the ball at his feet.

This just looks so much more coherent than what we do at the moment. I like this breakdown. I swear we are the only "big" team that doesn't play in triangles and diamond pass formations, it's all individual work and back passing. Also give this account a follow, great breakdown of some of the best coaches and player tactics.

there's plenty of top international teams that could use a cup coach to win a major tournament

really should just coach international football and work as a pundit now
