Caceido/James made that mistake early in the game - but Caceido is clearly one of the few comfortable against higher competition and breaking the lines in this system. He really has opened the game for us a few times in the middle of the field with his turn and go, and passes forward.

Let the players work, learn and build into a completely new system.

That is why its preseason.

Damn our season is over in preseason. We definitely can't get better.

Big upgrades. KDH and Lavia look really good, and both familiar with this setup and style. Some severely underrating a budget friendly option that knows the system - and hes quite silky on the ball with a great eye for a pass. Add in the fact every player is going to be a year closer to their prime, and getting better and more settled. Our CB area is the only weak area, as well as the left side wing.

Your module is consistent complaining.

Still a fair offer. Conor doesn't fit. Think its time to go. He'd be silly to sit on our bench and not accept going to Atletico.

Lavia looks really, really good. Nkunku's decision making is class. Can't wait to see some more of the regular first teamers in - think we will see some great combinations.

You don't know bro. I saw a 2 minute clip on Youtube - and he isn't good enough. End of story.

You almost forget we were a shitty call against Villa away from top 4 on here.

Do people on here just complain to complain? Saying we wasted money on Caicedo and Enzo? You were all begging for them to get in. Not going for Gyokeres? He was a championship level player according to some but other teams want him so now Clearlake are clowns again. Not going for Calafiori? I'd love to know the amount of people who actually knew him before the Euro's and our links. Complaining for the sake of complaining. Our defence is the only thing holding us back. And by that, I mean central defenders. They've done great on the rest of the scouting.

I can't remember the last time we lost out on a player we wanted to Arsenal. That the club actually wanted.

Why? Based on what?

I won't even bother bringing up the countless amounts of times a talented player has sat behind a lesser talented player in the international game.

I actually think Duran is a stud and quite polished - Samu I would steer clear of. On the other hand Duran looks like a bit of a headcase with the way he is treating Villa and the West Ham situation. Pretty sure he is as good as gone to them anyway.

Ah right, I thought I read Duran is 21 somewhere. Regardless, Duran is polished where as Samu looks like a disaster on the ball at times. Wait - now I read they are both 20. The video I watched was clearly wrong lol.

Duran looks 5 times the player Samu is and he is considerably younger. Duran is quite polished where as Samu looks a disaster at 23.

Some people like that you know.

He has the highest save percentage and shots saved in the league. Must mean something. You pepper any keeper enough and they can look bad in behind a shit defence.

You look at that and think wank keeper? I’d be more worried if we were buying defenders from there…

People on here overreacting at the talent evaluation - because they've done extremely well up front and in the midfield. Saying that though, GK and the central defensive roles have been atrocious. The bought Disasi and Badi who were shocking from a goals allowed perspective, and now they're after the Villareal keeper who had the most goals conceded...

Apparently Bulka liked a post saying he should come back to Chelsea.

Ederson ain't worth 300k.

I'd hate to see Kante anywhere else but us. My fav Chelsea player ever - would love to see him take a pay cut and play for us in that leadership role, but obviously a pipe dream.

Looking at the Sam Kerr situation (which was worse actually) and now the Enzo thing - its clearly put out the message that if you're good enough - it really doesn't matter. Crazy to see the people supporting their views on social media.
