What about this cat? Is he really so close being our player? What did I miss

I believe Broja will be very shortly off our books. One mildly succesful loan to a PL-side, then getting sold. I don’t see his selling point at all, like what are the things he is supposed to be outstanding. He is good with the ball, can score, but I don’t see what would make him leading a top team. Vlahovic had bad season at Juve, he had problems with Allegri, but I see him how he could improve and become a great striker. I don’t see with Broja.

He'll certainly have new one, same as Nkunku. Perhaps so many player came and go they didn't want to finalise yet. Quite a lot to chose from.. Number 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 all available.

Too bad we don't have many competitive games against 5th tier teams, we would score for fun!

Greenwood and Sigurdsson are linked with us? Or what are you saying

Why?

Yay, one more 2004 born winger!

If he can keep healthy he will do well in Milan, in Serie A he will have space to use his pace.

It’s a bit funny we loan our player to UNION BERLIN and he will play Champion League football while we won’t even appear on TV Thursday on nights from Yerevan or Astana.

Wow.. I completely forgot Madueke was at Spurs in Pochettino's time so they are familiar..

I am curious wether some big club will consider taking Malcom. Amazing numbers this season but quite out of pattern. This season he scored more than in his previous entire carreer. Like Joao Mario.. Sucked for Inter and West Ham aswell, this season he somehow managed to score 23.. Maybe they consumed some Michu/Amr Zaki one-season-wonder drug.

True, but that's the difference between him and Azpi. Some players only stick around in good times, others remain in their club when winning CL, also when finishing 10th place, still fight for their place. It's not like Mount was the big fish in small tank anyway.. He was part of the problem, his performances have been dropped for long time. Also, United also have their shit in their garden.. Releasing player because of prison, kicking out star player for interview with Piers Morgan, replacing coaches, buying and selling many players.

I remember back in 2012, we were heavily rumoured with two RB-s as we were looking for cheap option as backup for Ivanovic: Azpilicueta and Maicon. I also recall most people wanted Maicon, who signed for City instead, leaving many of our fans disappointed. Maicon departed after 10 games, zero goals/assists and zero trophy one year later. Azpi leaving now after 11 years, 500 games and countless trophies. Should have been a big shame if we happened to sign the Brasilian instead!! (similar story when Luis Felipe Scolari was our coach and planned to make Drogba-Adriano swap deal)

Looks impressive, but have to consider how much the squad changed during these 4 yerars. In these 4 seasons, In his debut season there was still Pedro, Wllian, Giroud, Abraham.. They all departed quickly. Werner and Havertz also left after 2-3 seasons, Ziyech, CHO, Pulisic were pretty much always injured.. No other attacking players had oppurtunity to top these numbers. Not like 20-25 goals and assists in 4 seasons are so outstanding.

Kepa 😄

https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/article/thank-you-mason Official announcement on Mount. Interesting, but it didn't mention Manchester United at all.. " Mason Mount has today ended his 18-year association with Chelsea after completing a permanent move away from the club. The England international started training with the Blues at the age of six and signed as an Under-9. Mount went on to win the FA Youth Cup and the UEFA Youth League before embarking on successful loan spells at Vitesse Arnhem and Derby County. It was ahead of the 2019/20 campaign that Mount was incorporated into the first-team squad at Stamford Bridge. He became a mainstay of Frank Lampard’s side and made more than 50 appearances in his debut season; a feat no other academy graduate had previously achieved. Mount went from strength to strength. There were 21 goal contributions the following season and in an FA Cup tie against Luton Town, the academy graduate became the youngest player to captain the side since John Terry. His 2020/21 campaign ended strongly under Thomas Tuchel. Mount struck in the Champions League quarter-final against Porto, in the semi-final against Real Madrid, and in the final it was his pass that freed Kai Havertz to score Chelsea’s winner. Mount was named 2021 Player of the Season by supporters. It was an award he retained 12 months later having helped the Blues claim the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup, while there were also a further 29 goal contributions during the 2021/22 season. He made only 35 appearances last term as an injury restricted the midfielder to just three substitute outings after February but he leaves Stamford Bridge having played 195 times and scoring 33 goals for the Blues.

Zakaria was on loan from Juve. It's July now, he is already gotten rid of. Aubameyang will be no problem aswell. Fofana I hope we don't sell.. Hi didn't seem that bad when he played.

Anybody familiar with him? Also, about the Richards guy.. Why is he called "Whisper"? Tried to find out but couldn't find.

So Poch “has no problem” with having Osimhen in his team. No shit! Which coach would have?

I think I am safe to say I have seen Szoboszlai more on the pitch than other members of this forum.. As much as I would love to have a Hungarian player for Chelsea, I don’t really see him succeed in the Premier League. He is really amazing from set-piece, scoring and assisting a lot from free kicks and corners, but during the game I feel he is slow, both feet and head. Very similar attributes to Kulusevski. He also thrived in the beginning for Spurs and has been ok since that, but Spurs-fans often annoyed because of slow feet and head.

It’s been long time since I haven’t seen use term “Lampard-level” as a positive example.. True though, however, Lampard peaked at the age of 25-31, not under 24. I am ok with Kova going to City, but regarding Havertz and Mount I fear they will peak at our rivals.

Is this really something we can throw on Mendy's head? His performances were weaker than the ones in his first season, partly due to injury issues. I didn't read about any attitude issues and didn't notice on games either.

Kova, Jorginho and Kante gone very quickly and suddenly. All of them had their ups and downs and injury issues, but in the last 5 seasons if you watched Chelsea-games, usually 2 out of them appeared on the field, so pretty much feels end of an era.

Possibly because of the Ramones haircut.

I don't stress much on GK.. We conceded 47 goals this season(PL), which is not good but pretty much same level as Liverpool, Arsenal or MU. 38 scored goals are way more pathetic though, so it's much more important to get proper striker and midfielders. Kepa is ok, once the team is complete and we need only GK for perfection(like Liverpool few years ago when they bought Alisson) and someone great is available(or Slonina turns out good) then we can invest in a goallie.. But Kepa as no1 should be fine,
