  1. PLEASE let them sign Mudryk instead, so we can stop wasting our time on him.
  2. So glad we didn't sign. Flop written all over him.
  3. If we are serious about his development (or upping his value), then loaning to Brazil makes no sense.
  4. That's the thing, technically he just isn't good enough. His lack of technique and decision making are his major weaknesses and you don't improve those a lot at age 23. If he was a random academy player, he'd be loaned or sold a long time ago already. The only thing keeping him in the picture is his price tag - the investors want to minimize their losses, but with each game he devalues himself more. I don't think he'll be here next season.
  5. Not allegedly, Poch himself said that Enzo asked him to play higher up. He probably thinks he can score and assist more higher up the pitch, but he can't shoot the ball to save his life. Maresca, the yes-man he is, will probably bend over to every request. Making him captain was a joke too, no wonder many believe Chelsea is a racist club.
  6. Does anybody even care who we sign anymore? I don't, they're all average mercenaries anyway. I couldn't care less about anybody in the squad once Gallagher and Chalobah leave, the last carriers of Chelsea DNA (Reece also but he's not gonna play a lot). A team of average mercenaries is what we've become and no signing is gonna change that.
  7. Poch already experimented with Enzo at 10 and it failed, why is he playing there again? As soon as Poch put him back deep and Gallagher up, we started playing a lot better. Maresca didn't do his homework? Enzo's a DLP and DLP only.
  8. It's like watching Chelsea from a bit of time ago, eerily similar unimaginative U-style football. How many times have been successful playing this type of static possession snoozefest? Zero... Sure you score once in a while like in that video, but more often than not it's just a waste of time, we have seen that time and time again. Our successes have come from when we start attacking the box vertically, quickly and with intent. I know nothing about Maresca, but I hope he's at least flexible enough that he can play counter-attacks too when that's appropriate. If he's a one trick pony that tells the players to only play out from the back and retain possession at all costs, then he's gonna fail quickly.
  9. Watching a live game after a long time and we be ballin.😛 Love what I'm seeing. Especially surprised about Cucurella, he's playing in midfield!😮 And doing very well. I also see Chalobah up quite often so are we playing 2 at the back?😆 Whatever it is, it's working.
  10. How long before that ref shaves his head bald like all the other fucking illuminati initiated fraud refs? Absolutely pathetic this VAR bullshit. 🖕 If that was a foul, then just scrap football altogether if NO contact at all is allowed, we don't need this new pussy ass "sport"... but I suspect this rule applies only to CFC. 🖕
  11. Biggest difference between Eden and Cole is that Cole shoots on sight. Haz was a shy shooter which was the most frustrating part of his game. Would be interesting to compare their shooting stats.
  12. In a far inferior squad too. I know I dissed Cold's signing at first due to frustration of our general transfer business, but the lad has well and truly made me eat my words (called him a City reject in a dismissive manner). I'm a believer now. 🥶❄️ Also, he is proof that you don't necessarily have to be shit in an average team. In that sense it's hard to make excuses for all the other players. You can blame Poch however much you want, Calm Palmer is proof that if you got it, you perform no matter what.
  13. What happened? That video has been removed.
  14. Having a great game against Luxembourg holds no weight whatsoever. It's like having a great game against Estonia, a joke of an opponent.
  15. I think it's just another sign of our medical dept's incompetency. They can't estimate correctly nor are they capable of treating correctly.
  16. We already are and will stay so for the foreseeable future sadly.
  17. Lol, keep Lukaku and his 15+ goals away from us. He cost Inter the CL and Belgium the WC by being in the way and wasteful. If he doesn't score (most games), he is not only useless, but absolutely detrimental.
  18. Are you being serious here? 😄 I still remember him walking around nonchalantly, not closing players down, just being slow overall in situations. He would probably be slightly better than Caicedo though.
  19. Actually those are the best types of games to judge players on for us. It's not like we're gonna play good any time soon, so a player standing out positively in otherwise shit team performances is a good sign for us. Any average player can stand out in a well-drilled team, Caicedo and Cucurella being prime examples. But it takes something special to impress in a team with no cohesion or play patterns, a la Hazard - that's where you want to splash hundreds of millies around.
  20. His most important attribute is being fit, he has a pretty much non-existent injury record. Finding a player who isn't made of glass is apparently very rare these days. In that sense I'm all for keeping him beyond this season.
  21. Another retarded brain rotten gen z-er with no skin. How are random people even able to message them? Isn't there an option in Instagram where you can choose who can message you? I'm pretty sure that's a basic privacy option everywhere, but those social media addicted spoilt cunts are probably too stupid to use it or they expect people to shower them only with praise. The dude messaging him wasn't even being overly disrespectful, just asked what's going on with him, which is what every Chelsea fans is wondering, yet his reaction was what you would expect from an offended 13 year old in a playground... which probably sums up our whole squad's mentality.
  22. His agent planted the story that Brighton had identified him as Caicedo replacement. It worked because it instantly got the clueless owners hard. Just like with Cucurella, Mudryk and Lavia - if Shitty, Arsenal and Liverpool weren't interested, doubt we would have gone for any of them.
  23. Chelsea is clearly run as a business now. I think in the business world they call such assets potential growth stocks. You need only one or two to really hit off to make a profit. I'm no pro investor, but I really think we should stay away from IPOs for a while and diversify our portfolio with a few solid proven stocks that would pay guaranteed dividends for a couple of years. In the end some of the growth stocks might start paying dividends too, but we should invest safer in the meantime so as not to go broke.
  24. What was likeable about Timo was his work ethic and attitude. But aside from his appalling finishing and inability to stay onside, his ball control was atrocious. Too often his touches were too loose and made it hard for him to find a pass, shoot or retain possession. He also could not dribble for shit, only a straight arrow running behind defences, which was not possible against the low blocks we encountered more often than not and that made his amateurish ball control stick out especially. Sometimes I loved him, sometimes hated, but what was certain was that he needed to be upgraded on. Would have been all for him staying as a squad player, never a starter though in a title aspiring team. Tottenshits can have him, he'll have a few eye-catching games for sure, but as a whole he will not improve them in any meaningful way.
