How did the world get so stupid?

Barca showing borderline fraudulent behaviour and players still trust them with their source of income.

Ironically, when both him and James were in our youth teams, James would play RCB often and Sterling RWB and he was very good offensively for the youth teams. Chipped in with a few goals. I remember when both went out on loan, I was surprised James went on loan to a Championship team and Sterling went on loan to a League 1 team because Sterling is physically built also. But he has not really kicked on. Injuries have not helped either.

I agree with all of this although Dujon was regularly benched allowing Reece, at RCB, to be paired with Tariq Lamptey at RWB. Jody Morris loved 'Duge' (as he called Sterling) but when he picked his top team Sterling wasn't in it. I don't think this is a major criticism of Dujon because Reece and Tariq are quite good. 🙂

By the way, what surprised me most about the loans that season was that Reece didn't go to Derby. If he had Derby would very likely have been promoted that season instead of being beaten in the playoff final. If so the current situation of the club might be very different.

I think it is just a phase in his career before his breakthrough.

So maybe it IS Kimpembe INSTEAD of Ake 🥳

[Superblue 6,372]

Think it's safe to see why Kimpembe rumours are now heating up.

This might very well still suggest also we only sign one more defender and Colwill stays within the squad.

Nice!!!!

🚨 Nathan Ake staying at Manchester City. Chelsea showed a strong interest but #MCFC would only sell if valuation met. That hasn’t happened & mutual decision taken for 27yo Dutch defender to remain & play key part in Pep Guardiola plans @TheAthleticUK #CFC https://t.co/Ehz9VbBNpg

Kimpembe - Thiago - Koulibaly, with Trev and Colwill as options sounds great

reece james backup probably

but I would like to sell emerson and buy a proper back up to chilwell as well

Brilliant news, really. Aké made no sense at that price and isn’t good enough to be an every match starter for Chelsea.

I don’t think Kimpembe is anything special but he’s still better than Aké and would clearly be a handpicked Tuchel signing who he has worked with before.
