probably because we didnt bullshit him. And because we have much success with french, african and ligue 1 players in the past. IMO despite going on loan, he will play his part in the future. I loved we used to buy cheap and develop players couple years ago like Tibo, Kdb, Salah,..it sadly didnt work out because we didnt put enough trust, but that system worked brilliantly and we would have world class team by now. Was wondering why we stopped doing that...

Is CB primary role there to pass the ball or defend? Zouma is our best defender by mile, but sure lets have Pep type CBs who crap their pants everytime it matters. One thing is if CB can defend AND has great technique. The other is if he has the later but cant defend. AC is more composed on the ball, but he clearly isnt dominant enough. Also been too many times where he just lost it and gave away possesion, something that was supposed to be his strong point. So if I have to choose, Id choose the one who can defend first. And thats Zouma. He held his own very well vs Bayern where others played bad. And that wasnt the first time.

AC is mistake prone + not great defender and Rudi is just a nervous mess too often (at his age not fixable). Zouma is not great on the ball, but fantastic defender who just needs someone who can organise the backline. Plus he is the only one good in the air. We will need that in set pieces/corners because with Ziyech, we might finaly be dangerous again. Rudiger cant jump and AC is weak. Gomes isnt outstanding CB either, but benefits from playing next to Van Dijk. Zouma likely wont be world class (althrough he is actualy very good no nonsense defender), but he will be good enough and thats what we need.

I mean if he knows something great, if not dont write a twit every day. They have been saying soon for 3 weeks now, hyping it up like its going to happen next day, but nothing happens. Just makes them look like hunting for likes instead of giving reliable info. Not just Romano, there are quite a few.

https://www.fulhamfc.com/player-profiles/timmy-abraham Didnt know his bro plays for Fulham. Timmy and Tammy.😄

With Thiago next to him and reliable GK, I can imagine Zouma become our most improved player next season. Cant wait.

Dirty cheap. Wolves are shooting themselves in the leg if they sell for that. Doherty has been their key player with Raul and Neves.

Someone is a bit too optimistic IMO.

Yup in time when Arse, Spuds, Liverpoo went to fire bunch of their employees or limited their already poor wages, all while their star footballers earning shitloads, we have been quite an example. Proud. As seen with covid, football is nothing without fans, so if you cant take care for your own employees, gtfo. And poo, arse fans actualy have the nerve to crap on our club.

Its final time to admit these dudes like Romano are complete bullshiters. They might know bits, but when they go xyz will sign today, tomorrow, soon, here we go blah blah...they know fuck all. They have been reporting same shit for the past 4 weeks. Obviously they will get it right and people will be like this dude is reliable and legit.

Well yeah they are dirty twats but still what has Salah for example got to do with it? Like I said I couldnt give two fucks about their entitled fans (or Barca, Real, Utd,...fans for that matter). If the club performs well and doesnt cheat and use cheap tactics, I give credit. I know a couple pool fans here and they are ok. But yes Im sure its different if you live in england and interact with bunch of cuntish fans on daily basis.

No offense but fuck that guy Sergio. Not good enough.

Everywhere I look at the comments, people are once again shitting on Chelsea left and right with passion. You just know this is a good sign. Boys, we are back!😀

AC will be staying. Silva, Rudiger, Zouma and AC will be our 4 CBs next season IMO.

Welcome Where will he go on loan, any rumours?

Sky reporting Bonucci turned down City. Shame, would love City to splash more money on another Guardiola type CB with great passing skills, but absolute crap defending when it matters. Now they might actualy get someone reliable 😏

Were Werner and Ziyech even presented with shirt? I thought they are saving for all of them to pose together, but Ig is full of Chilwell posing and interviews...its funny how it looks now that Chilwell is the biggest signing so far😄

all hail Roman. Not many clubs have owner like him. It seemed bleak for a couple years, but he is back😀

He had one great season, before was playing in Israel...maybe that is putting us off I dunno...

More like if he takes part, he isnt coming here.

My guess is that Kai will be announced one day.

Since everyone keeps talking about Hazard cash...with what cash did we buy Kovacic and Pulsic? Wasnt Hazards money reinvested in those two?

So Mendy, Maignan, Onana and maybe Pope are the front runners for new GK here? I cant realy speak about any of the first 3, I dont watch Ajax or ligue 1 week in week out, so hopefuly we pick the right one this time.

Azpi will still have important role and he is our captain. Kovacic and Kante in double pivot Thiago and Zouma should be the pairing, but I can see Rudiger being favorised by Lamps. Havertz behind Werner and Ziyech-Puli on wings. Mount and Odoi to play big amount of games too. I hope we dont neglect our youth all of sudden because of these new star arrivals...
