Magic Lamps

Reina is gonna be 36 in August and he has already been error prone 10 years ago at his peak. We do not need another ageing, error prone reserve goalie. only makes sense if Caballero leaves and even then it would make more sense to sign a homegrown reserve goalkeeper.

how do you know that? why should we refuse bids if he wants out?

He is 30 years old. He has been used by pragmatic coaches because he is a workhorse, fair play for that but he also played at Shaktar and Anzhi as their star man, basically had a free role and was as limited as under Mourinho and Conte. Even under Sarri he is not magically gonna become some world beater. He is nowhere near worth 60m, this bid was crazy like the Oscar and Ramires bids so I am still mightily pissed that Granny refused. For missing out on 60 million, Willian needs to score 20 goals next season.

Since when has Granny ever given a fuck about which players the manager wants. And now its the deal of her life and she bottles it Seems barca really have withdrawn https://www.google.de/amp/dailypost.ng/2018/07/23/transfer-barcelona-withdraws-deal-sign-willian-chelsea/amp/

But if it is just Sarri he wants to meet before deciding why not put the bid on hold instead of rejecting? Doesnt make sense. But we dont know the communication besides. Maybe its just negotiation maybe Willian is not for sale I will wait untilnthe window shuts until deciding whether to curse Granny or not. edit: Barcelona were 1/2 to sign him yesterday and are now 8/1 . Looks like Granny really bottled it here🙈🙈🙈

Thx for the vid, chum. great performance by Cho. The assist was immense but my favourite play is at 5:28 when he wins the ball at the edge of out box wrestled away from that huge defender and and sprints 50 yards in mesmerizing pace and almost lays it on a plate for Pedro. He already has something Willian and many other experienced wingers and pace merchants lack. Determination and decisiveness. He can use hisbpace to break free and directly make a decision for the pass the cross or the shot. Not pondering on the ball until the chance has gone. Opposite to Willian, CHOs mind is as quick as his feet

Obviously Barca thinks he is some world class player too anf Marina is trying to milk every penny from them like it is her style. But in this case she is drastically overdoing it. Shows how little she knows about football. Letting KDB, Salah and Lukaku leave for peanuts but risking the deal of her life for an average player

Yeah as expected. I think he is the mist realistic option. A classic English goalie tho. Big, strong on the line but with a blooper here and there + not the best footballer.

What the actual fuck. This is like having won the lottery and you tell the guy with the big cheque to fuck off and come again with a bigger one. Except for the fact that almost no lottery has prized that big and that instead of handing in a damn lottery draw you just need to hand in a toxic stagnating player

Lol wtf. Kante is arguably overall the best midfielder in the world. And people genuinely question whether he adds enough to a team that finished 5th last year and has people like Bakayoko and over the hill Fabregas starting in midfield. Not to mention the mediocrity we got everywhere else. I think assessing a 39 player rooster and teaching a completely new isea of football with just 3 weeks till the CS, Sarri has way more urgent priorities than to evaluate whether our best midfielder is good enough

Yup Sarri has a huge rooster of players at his disposal al.ost 2 entire squads. And as he is not a cheque book manager like Mou and Pep he will give everyone a chance to impress him. If at least guys like CHO dont make the squad i will be disappointed.

How barkley has not acored yet is beyond me butvhe has been great. Bakayoko is just meh

We are not gonna play with wingbacks. Alonso can play reserve full back as can Zappacosta

Kante has gome from.strength to strength in his development here he will embrace the challenge to further expand his attacking game. When he came fromeicester he could not string passes over more than 20 yards together nownhr is clippong those diagonals with ease. Natural or not... no one is born with the kind of tackling skills of Kante he learned it with his relentless work ethic and he will learn the offensive duties Sarri imposes on him all.the same

We have azpi and emerson i think fullbacks are gonna be fine. Lets see ig we can sign a decent striker

Nice half of football. Did not think that we could execute Sarriball so quickly. Exp the ball retentiona nd the quick ball circulation was excellent. I can see esp Luiz and Fabregas being rejuevated by this play. The final ball was still lacking tho. CHO was once again immense.Morata and Alonso are the players who are already out of their depth playing this fast. I can see BArkley excelling as he showed glimpses of today.Zappacostas crossing has been surprisingly accurate too. Pedro will be perfect in the "Callejon" role as he is basically the same player.

When I switched on it was like wtf is going on. some half-naked painted guys on shrooms^^ but then I saw the players

Sure? Zhirkov was great technically. The problem was he was injured too often and never really got a run of games as we had Asles cole in his position over him

He fits Atletico perfectly for the Torres role but he will play more here. Also why should we let him leave after only 6 months. Yes he is slow and cant score goals but other than that he is an amazing player. Also has it it off withbthe fans so i dont know why he would want to leave or we should let him go. But to loan him out would be too dumb even for our board. He only has 1 year left on his contract

I agree 100%. St and rw are the positions we need scorers in and willian is past his best and will never be the player we wanted him to become. I think the board are smart enough to take the money but i also could imaginr Willian being so much of an unambitious character that he wants to stay here because he is settled and will play a lot

I think it depends on Willian. If hes willing to go the club will let him, otherwise he will stay.

If he can work on his wear left side he could still be a very good goalie. Would be a typical chelsea signing. A washed up player for cheap...

He Used to be but his powers are ailing visibly. He has 12 years of top level footy in him. Basically the fabregas of strikers

If we keep Willian just because Hazard is moving would be stupidity at its finest

Maybe Sarri plans on playing no wingers at all but a narrow diamond instead Kante Bakayoko. Jorginho Barkley Morata Higuain would explain why we are hording mids and strikers atm
