Magic Lamps

Getting worse and worse

Weird lineup. Is it a back 4 or RLC as CB?

The 3rd goal was one of his best technical ones ever. all three touches were exquisite, esp the first one was bergkamp-esque

If Musk was in it you bet he would have told everyone and their dog a year ago

Don't get infatuated by Centricus and Clearlake AUM numbers. Assets Under Management is just the capital they manage for the clients, so they can't spend it on us^^. Infact many public asset managers and pension funds have way higher AUMs and still are not even close to be able to afford buying a club for 4m. Same goes for Boehly's, Wyss's etc. personal wealth. They dont have it cash ready to splurge on transfers. Most of their wealth will be illiquid. They will use this as collateral to debt finance our clubs spendings if they can't be met instantly by the clubs own cashflows. The latter would then be used to pay off the loans. If the new owners are not in this for personal monetary gain, it will be a more sustainable model. But we will never be able to compete financially with the psg, city or NU owners who basically pump money out of the ground.

The loan system concerning national loans of young players will probably never cease to exist. Clubs could just have other clubs buy their players and have a contract in place that allows them to rebuy the player for a fixed amount a year or two later. As long as all parties are in agreement, I do not see how the loan system is unethical or harmful. The debate is driven by a lot of hypocrisy, envy and hate

well at least jorginho will be well rested for the season run in 2023

Gravenberch is off to Bayern…

Very limited smaple. Drinkie was obviously a bust. Miazga fetched a bit of loan fees, so was just a botched part of our cash cow loan around strategy. Will probably be abolished soon due to the cap on loaned out palyers.

https://metro.co.uk/2022/03/23/Chelsea-star-the-surprise-holder-of-premier-leagues-top-speed-this-season-16325247/ not at all surprised Rüdiger has been the fastest player in the league this season given how he races up and down the pitch for us. 36,7kmh is also above the top speed of most other leagues. usually defenders are more likely to record the highest speeds tho as those are usually the ones rushing back long distances after set pieces etc. All the more impressive are Watkins and Daka, albeit not surprising either

Tammy scored two typical tammy goals. one was a reobund from a crossbar ricochet....that being said, Lukaku would have missed that complaining he didnt get to the ball the first time. Tammy showed with a couple of bad misses why we should not get him back tho.. mid table Serie A is his level.

Great win. All credit to TT for keeping us professional and in control at least on the pitch. very assured performance. Could have been a banana skin but we disposed of them without breaking a sweat.managed to carry sarr, Lukaku and RLC as well. should have been more comfortable but Lukaku and Werner still clowns most importantly no injuries

amazing how fast Thiago still is at almost 38. way faster than guys like Ramos, nesta, Jt and other legendary defenders were in their Early 30ies

Lol Lukaku ist such a Clown

Ziyech and Mount are just too good for their left side Boro they just completely ran into an open knife with the way they press our nachklinge

Apparently two potential buyers sitting alongside Pete

He was never gonna pay anyway. sun is shining out their Arse atm. Arteta has done a decent job sorting them out still there re two more games they won’t win and one is a the bridge

Amazing cross that was. Pinpoint

Vardrid are not any better than last year, just older We will miss chilly but other than that we are just as strong as last year. can’t get lucky every time, only Bayern does

Thx once again apparent how ordinary Kounde is

They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks but his passing range has expanded since 2019. He was not very good in the build up play yesterday tho. Anway, he now stands at 9 goals (all pens) and 3 assists. which is not at all a bad return for a regista

Rightly so. We are the hottest and most fashionable club in the country. Best part of the best city. Plus we are European and world champions. Truly a global brand. In every other country in the world they would kiss our feet like Germany does with Bayern, Spain with real, france with psg etc. Don't get me wrong, I love the country, the British people and culture. But sadly it is governed by corrupted dimwits who are Dipper and ManUre fans with their heads stuck in the past on top of that. It is disgusting how this is true for all institutions in the public and in the sporting sphere. Sanctions on oligrachs may well have their justification but to let us bleed as club is an obvious mix of sadism, malice and incompetence. It does not really matter who we get as owner they will always try to shame and discriminate against us. We might well not be as successful in the near future but the club has survived more hardship in its 117yr history and will live on. Younger fans like me might not have experienced periods like that before but going through some very rough patches is part of being a fan. I am not going anywhere.

not working well for us either^^

Quietly efficient. Maybe it is just one of his purple patches again but he is finishing chances had would have wasted before. Also has not been injured for quite a while. The thing is he is way more useful in the 1vs1 than werner. But even if he stays and Timo leaves, we need more fast, 1vs1 dribblers who can stay on their feet. Liverpool are so strong cos they have 5 of those and can use them interchangeably. At least that everlasting dream of USA tour with him is edging closer provided we survive as a club.
