Special Juan

I have watched that goal back from Delap, it gets better everytime. He backed into the defender purposely to take him out the game and then in one movement the way he shifts it with his left to feed to his right foot was wonderful. The touch with his left, it's very easy for the touch to be heavy but the weight to set it and then finish was sublime, it catches the keeper flat footed because he takes the shot so early Promising

I'm reading right between the lines with this statement

The other best thing to happen was Jackson getting suspended, it's paved a pathway for Delap without Liam worrying about being hauled off for him. Jackson is the architect of his own downfall and Delap will take this with both hands

Great win, I was in bed fast asleep and was never going to stay up and watch this. Seen the goals, really pleasing, and I tell you what and I say this quietly but Liam Delap looks the dogs bollocks. Even early on he's leading the line and looking solid, his back to goal play is excellent and his goal last night was just a wonderful finish. Bring on Benfica, a more than winnable game

Fuck Flamengo

All is left is for us to fuck this up

Expecting Benfica to fall apart

If it was a bog standard left winger we would pay it

Jackson is banned for two games confirmed by FIFA That's how fucking thick he is, now Delap is around what a chance for him to stake a claim.

Romano now confirming the deal for Gittens is well advanced and more talks took place yesterday

But zero links to him, this board have probably never heard of him. Maignan is a million miles away from Sanchez, he can actually use his feet, is a top shot stopper and brings mass amounts of experience, that word we lack the most in this team.

Get a receipt and return to Milan for Miagnan

Massive issue with Garnacho is his attitude, it stinks and when things don't go his way he goes off it on social media and get's his family to weigh in, the bloke is a liability and that's just off the pitch. The last thing we need right now is a pot stirrer behind the scenes when we also have lack of leaders in the dressing room to fucking slap him if needed, we need to just leave this one alone.

50M for each would suffice, just think how many 14 year old Brazilian and Argentinians we could get with that

Presser was dominated by Maresca talking about the heat and how it's impossible to train..so on that basis we trained fully without any issues in the build up to the Flamengo game so no excuses for that shit show of a performance, now he is ready to rotate with the excuse of the heat as the main blaming point in case we lose. Same for all teams, just get the fuck on with it

Ornstein has just tweeted that the deal for Gittens could be done imminently and both clubs in talks in the US Gittens is fully committed to Chelsea, 7 year deal in place

That was a typical PSR/swap bullshit deal that these owners/directors are renowned for because it's about their limit and got Maresca coming the other way, it's when they have to sit around the negotiating table and fight for a signing they have an issue, they either over pay or walk away, see Maignan

I agree and I'm just trying to live outside my own bubble

He's not hardly kicked a ball in the CWC, make the wages attractive and make him feel like the LW is his. Bloke is playing second fiddle to Kvartatxztakehsila what ever he is fucking called, not changing anytime soon, lets be ambitious, but that maybe a tough ask with these fucking clowns

Make Barcola for sale, like we used to and go big, but we know we won't but this is the type of elite level player we should be targeting. The same applies for Rogers, he can play thereand when we c=talk about Kudus and Eze, their dribbling levels are way way better than Garnacho and Gittens, you just have to watch all four, not only that but Eze and Kudus can play as a 10, we cannot, cannot keep hoping Palmer turns up, he's been dead for half of a season and we cannot run him into the floor.

Kudus, Barcola, Eza improve us in that left area, they can all play there and if we are to sell Madueke Kudus can play on the right as well, but they all improve us

So just being hypothetical....our 4 wingers based on rumours and links could be....Gittens, Garnacho, Neto Estavao, and we sell Madueke We are are not improving if that is the way we go, not one bit.

My issue is, neither Garnacho or Gittens are an upgrade on Madueke/Sancho (when he was here), you can argue in different ways but it's splitting hairs, I'm sick to death of us not going for players that will massively improve that said area. We should be busting a fucking gut to get Barcola away from PSG, but we don't do big moves anymore, we won't see the likes of a Caicedo or Enzo move for a very long time if any at all

This news is a direct side effect of Munich talking to Gittens

Nkunku and Garnacho...they have what we want and we have what they want... Garnacho noise was never going away
