🔥🔵🗯BREAKING: A verdict is nearing on Chelsea’s 74 Charges.
Mail Confidential has been assured that supporters can anticipate NON-SPORTING sanctions as an outcome.
That would mean a FINE rather than, say, a transfer ban or points deduction.

Gusto worries me on a yellow card. Is very clumsy. Got sent off against Forest when on a yellow, earlier in season and got lucky with the incident in the match whilst on a yellow.

Andrey Santos makes a MASSIVE difference to this team. His football intelligence both on and off the ball is incredible. Always seems to be in the right place and he’s super tidy on the ball. He provides the platform for The whole team to play. He is our new Jorginho but with more athleticism.
Only real critique of that half is that Palmer didn’t finish off that free run he had in the box. We score that and I think we’re cruising the rest of the way.

at least Dominic Calvert-Lewin, which is one of they most dangerous players, is not in the line up today. great news

I was talking about Kenan Yıldız:
€6m net is around £202K PW gross

What? He earns 200k at Wolves??? You sure?

Rosenior just confirmed Neto and James failed fitness tests this morning.

Palmer on bench for me if Estevao is presumably back. Has not been himself and I am not sure if this is the game where he can influence directly from the start. We will need a lot of support defensively and type of game he has struggled to impact before.
                   Sanchez
James  Fofana  Chalobah  Cucurella
           Santos   Caicedo
Estevao      Enzo         Neto
                 Pedro

What is this based on? These are the team’s results in the league when Acheampong has started this year. Just the one loss in there. Don’t think he’s looked out of place physically at all
0-0 D vs Palace
2-1 W vs Liverpool 
0-3 W Forest 
1-2 L Sunderland 
2-2 D Bournemouth 
1-1 D Man City
 
 
 
 

“Chelsea rejected big money for Acheampong!”
”Several massive clubs have tried for Acheampong but Chelsea have said NO CHANCE!”
”Chelsea view Acheampong as massive talent and key part of the future project.”
We hear these things over and over again and yet he doesn’t play. New manager comes in and he still doesn’t play ahead of players he hugely superior to.
He’d have been better off out on a PL loan this season playing every game.

With Guehi they did tbh.

His longer-range passing looked great at AFCON and from some of the Strasbourg games I watched.
I was pleasantly surprised how easily he slotted into the Senegalese starting line-up and thrived under massive pressure.
IF we do get Jacquet as well (summer time probably) and IF Sarr and Jacquet both take to the EPL, then given both their massive potential talents, their size (1.90m for Jacquet, 1.94m for Sarr), and their pace, we just might have two great younf CBs on our hands, plus we also have Josh.
If we can just get an actual quality lefty CB to replace Badi (IF we are doing the youth thing, then I would go for Honest Ahanor or Karim Coulibaly), and if (I so so hope so) Colwill fully recovers, we could have 5 superb, big, fast CBs in a year or two from now.
These are the top valued left-footed CBs on the planet atm who have not yet turned 23yo:

 
These are the top valued right-footed (obviously the number of great right-footers is much higher than great left-footers) CBs on the planet who are 20yo right now (not 19yo or under and not 21yo and older, these are all 20yo now):
 

 
And finally, speaking of rare, this is the ONLY ambipedal (and even a more valuable trait for us, he also prefers to play at LCB) CB on the planet of any age who is valued at £20m or more (it was such a double gut-punch when we lost him to Real Madrid (one of only 2 teams we simply cannot out-pull in almsot every case when they demand a player, Barca being the other of course, but they are fucked financially still) AND then Colwill destroyed his knee. I went BONKERS when both happened as I knew it meant big CB troubles ahead this season):

 
Of those 12 CBs listed in the 3 snapshots above, we either currently own, did own at one time, are heavily linked, or were heavily linked to almost all of them.

Much better use for chatgpt than me, I tend to take pictures of ppl at work and make them fat or bald or both 

Cucurella's performance has also declined significantly over the past few weeks!

Brentford, Palace, now Napoli
all left footed goals by Pedro (his 'weaker' foot)

NO, LOLOLOLOL

I was pretty down at halftime. Amazing what a win can do. I might need meds being a Chelsea fan.

Meanwhile, Paez going to River Plate on loan.. 
Apparently he was caught clubbing, drinking, vaping multiple occasions.
Was hoping we find him a nice Champo loan, sending back to South America feels kind of giving up on him.

Time to stop fucking round playing games with Palmer’s injury. He needs to either have the surgery or be sat for a long, long time until he’s back to himself. This is getting ridiculous at this point. In and out, in and out, never looking close to his best. He’s clearly severely compromised. 

What I like about him is he always gives 100% -only a few do that
