So, Nkunku's carreer at Chelsea is salvagable? Maresca had named anyone but him in the starting lineups during the whole season, and here he is now, over Noni. Bit off, it's the 5th of July and we are playing a tournament with players to be gone while our new players(Estevao, Gittens) are still playing for opponents.

Shit, I ran into this.. I thought Flamengo was through and Fluminense out..

Bit weird, like it's from Sky Sports transfer stream.. Not usual to read "on the verge" in a club statement. But anyway, welcome. I start to lose the line how we will look like.

Checking the statistics of the last two season, Palmeiras and Flamengo(who beat us in the groups) are head-to-head, very close. From what I saw from both teams, my impression is: Flamengo is a harder team to beat for a European club. They have a coach and a few key players with respectable European resume(Danilo, Alex Sandro, Jorginho, Pulgar, Araujo, Everton, Pedro). Palmeiras is a younger team with some very talented but raw players, their football seems to be kind of ad hoc. I expect we will beat them with less sweat. Maybe similarly to ECL final, we'll get in trouble but ultimately we will overcome by quality and experience. In the semis, though, Flamengo or Al-Hilal will be tough cookie.

Ubelievable.. Seemed to have bright years in football ahead and a privileged easy life too. Take care on the road you all.

It was at Sassaulo, right? At Atalanta he couldn't stand out though. Kakuta also had some good periods, was signed by Sevilla, but reached his limits. I feel there is very very little difference between top players and middle club ones, these guys just lacked something.. Outstanding decision making ability, quickness in head, advanced understanding of the game, hard to tell. I am afraid George will end up the same, very talented, but just misses something to break through.

So, in 2021/22, after years of dealing with injuries and unsuccesful loans, he was still expecting to make it at Chelsea? 😮 Feel bad for him, but even before his major injuries it seemed like he wasn't going to make the cut. Made some nice things here and Betis, but I remember when Conte started to play Hudson-Odoi(who is 4 years younger than him) it seemed clear Charly is just not the same level. Similar like Kakuta, Boga, Scott Sinclair.. Insane at youth level, ok at adult football but just not good enough for top top level.

Gittens is still at CWC with Dortmund, perhaps it won't be 100% done before the end of the tournament.

I checked what's behind the whitened part.. Geez..

Huge chance for us.. Funny though, (might be) Real-PSG-Bayern-Dortmund one one wing and we are stuck with 3 non-European. No game will be easy, but massive chance to reach the final.

Luckily we are taking care of replacement. Pedro was out for the last five games at Brighton due to "discipline issues" and we keep sniffing around Garnacho, who is the ultimate toxic player.

Our only fair chance to see any money of these players are Saudi clubs.. No European club will meet their current salaries, and we have no good position to negotiate as they have been out of the squad anyway and even more after signing Gittens and Pedro. I think we'll keep loaning them out till their contract run out.

Imagine this in next year nations world cup..

Here you go! This one we can thank to Trubin too, he ate that.

True, but you would think there is 60k people in a one million town(not to count sourrondings) who is interested to see a rare event like this. I attended ladies Champions League final or Justin Bieber concert when they were held in my town, even though I cannot say I am big fan of either.

I thought there would be more spectators on Saturday afternoon.. Guess there are much to do in Charlotte.

Yes.

Rewatching Meireles and Ivanovic goal against Benfica bring back some good memories.. Hope Today we will see something memorable again. I haven't watched a bit from CWC so far due to my work schedule, but Tonight is the night for me to come aboard, let's do it!!

Looks like we learned or lesson from Milan! If you get an offer from your GK, you ask 5M more.. 25 is good money TBH, we should accept ad bye bye Petrovic.

Let's see what the narrative will be if we fuck up against Tunis.. 5D chess as he sparea fuel for forthcoming long season? Will find out after waking up.

Ah, I completely forgot about him.. Liked his style and was super talented, he needed a little bit more discipline and brain to become great.

Maybe Chelsea staff blended something to Mudryk's food so we can earn some money back 😄 Would be creative way of accounting.

Or just bring back Pedro from Lazio, he's still got it! I am not overwhelmed by Gittens either, but I will be happy over anyone but Garnacho.. Him we should avoid at any cost.

What's behind this? Seemed understandable we send him to RSC on loan, even with not filling up all possible CWC squad places. But like this? What has changed? What's the point, who can benefit from this and how?
