It'd be a bit wild to sell one of our top performers for a 17 year old kid. Looking at Vini, Rodrigo, Endrick - who were absolute elite talents - they all needed 1-2 years in Europe to fully break into first team. I'm not so sure about these financial decisions aswell. I still fail to see how loaning out Chalobah and signing Adarabioyo for free was a financial genious movement, neither buying Omari Kellyman for 20 million, without any path to first team. We are wasting hundreds of millions with shity contract management(Lukaku, Sterling, Mudryk next), but we shall sell one of our best players "for profit"? That'd be huge disappointment.

What makes you think we would sell Noni? He's been starter and one of the top performers. He improved a lot since we signed him, selling now would be quite risky, would be a shame if he reached his ceiling in other English team. Also, Neto, Felix and Sancho were good additions but they all quite goal-shy. With Palmer and Nico mostly play in the middle Madueke is our only major goal threat on the wings. At last, Noni seems to work great with our biggest star, Palmer. I would be surprised if we cashed in on him.

Still not sure what we can expect this season, but it's December and we are sitting 2nd as highest scoring team in the league, so fucking good.. In 2022/23, we finished the season with 38 goals scored, now we already have 31.. We stopped at 44 points, currently we are at 28. Crazy..

Nuno Mendes I like a lot. Kerkez is super good, both defensively and in offense. Fonzie and Theo definetly not as heroic in defending as Cucu.

Oh yes. With Caicedo, I was expecting he will eventually come good, but I gotta admit I was dead wrong with Cucurella. I didn't see him turning his carreer like this. Like Rüdiger, who I also wanted to be sold after his shaky start, never thought he'd be leader of CL-winning team and being called by Real Madrid eventually.

Beautiful! It's December and we are sitting 2nd. Amazing, even temporary. If City can win Today, we are 100% in the race. Had a great afternoon with my team.

Cucu and Caicedo are amazing Today. Like having Ivanovic and Ashley Cole on the sides.

Finally Jackson took off on time. Well done by the goal but should have been at least two, should be a closed game already.

Don't like Fofana's facial expression.. Like he knew this is not some minor shit..

Badman coming.. Geez, this better not be a turning point..

We are pressing super super hard, but got to say, Aston Villa put up with it very well(expect Martinez's error). Pleasure to watch both side.

Well done by Palmer aswell. One more goal and we are sitting 2nd!

We really should double the lead before halftime.. I worry Dracula will come up with something, we are bit vurnelable ATB.

FFS!!!

Free kick from 5 metres.. Shity rule, almost never can convert these.

If only Lavia could stay healthy long term.. He is so good.. And he hardly have one season of adult football in his legs. Sancho and Neto is a hit Today Palmer little bit weak.

Well done by Cucu, Sancho and Lavia.

Has to be.. Otherwise I can't see how this lineup will work. Not a big fan of our best performing player being moved out of position. But at least Enzo and Lavia can start and Disasi/Badiashile doesn't have to be involved. Gusto on the bench, we can change during the game. But I think Caicedo will do great. I like Sancho-Palmer-Neto trio too. Let's do this!

Maybe because we couldn't bring any top team this season. Liverpool, Arsenal, MU all draw, City L. This one we should finally convert. We will have 3 PL-games in a week now, will be interesting hown Maresca rotates, A/B -team won't work anymore.

So he is allowed to train with the first team as the 1st, 2nd and 3rd RB-option is injured and 4th is not registered to ECL. He definetly should sign that long term contract.

City ended up 3-3 after 3-0 at the 75th.. Well, their 5 matcs losing streak is over, but this must be hurtful aswell.

So Gusto also out, great.. Badi kr Fofana will be RB?

Why on earth would he do that? Chelsea is a multinational company which took the risk when offering that contract to James, and James got injured during fulfilling his contract duties. After the damages he suffered in the last few years, he will clearly never be able to earn this much money again. Why is it him who should be generous? We are paying dozens of players on high wages.

Maresca said RJ felt something smell, hence we did not want to risk for the weekend. However, James posted a message on Instagram where he wishes happy holiday season for everyone.. So possibly we won't see him again this year. 2024 is once again a year to forget for him, third in a row.

Hall and Livramento both starts against ROC, well done for academy boys.
