as I (and others) predicted

Real are going to come HARD for Reece in 9 months

Real are absolutely fucked at both fullbacks

and there are only 5 on the board that they deem of WC quality (and the lowest one of the 5, Balde, is at Barca, so no chance)

the same old 4

the only other ones they would remotely consider in their ideal plans are

the other two always talked about (as Robertson is now aged out in terms of buying, as he will be 30yo soon)

and both of these are really suspect defensively (especially TAA)

 

 

 

If this ends up being another mediocre season, we will likely lose him if they come calling. And Enzo not too soon after.

All these pie in the sky ideas of having a super young squad and allowing it to develop in 2 to 3 years without achieving anything on the way, is just pure fantasy.

Top players in the squad won't stick around that long to waste the best years of their career in a 'project'.

[MoroccanBlue 5,297]

So he's probably out even longer then.

He's right that ref was criminal. James #proper Chels

[OneMoSalah 8,778]

Ridiculous. Didn’t even play and he’s been charged with whatever - this guy is our captain too talk about immaturity at its finest. Well done….

What are the odds that they'll impose a ban, right after he becomes fit again.

100% going to happen.

Time to find a replacement for him, he's become too injury prone, never going to get a run of games from him.

That's along with Fofana and Chilwell, we need to replace all three.

yeah lets see until the end of the season but if real offer us good money I would sell him

Just say he’s fit and take the ban this weekend.  Come back after the break ready to play

That is good. I literally thought they were waiting after the Burnley game to ban him. So at least he misses a game that he wouldn't have played anyway.

When I see £90k fine, it makes me think how lucky these footballers are. That is change to them. It would take me years to pay that.

Is there a U23/development squad match between now and the Arsenal match? I'd play him in that one just to get some sharpness.

Man i miss this guy, i think he needs to do yoga. Tends to be a common problem with muscular people, they tend to be stiff. 

I recall John Terry playfully calling RLC the stiffest man. Cobham need more focus on yoga and flexibility.
