I will always fail to understand how so many (and in some cases even word-class) players are this one-footed, when even a half-decent weaker foot can add a new dimension to ones game.

Bad coaching at youth level [is to blame for one footed professional footballers], I guess.

Different topic but I question the way academies are used to give apprentice coaches their first look at a coaching job. I know young coaches need to start somewhere but at elite academy level we should be employing specialist 'teachers'. Instead of the kids being coached by people who are themselves learning their trade, they should benefit from working with experienced men and women who are world class teachers.

P.S. I taught myself to use my left foot in the school playground simply by deciding that I wasn't going to use my right at all. From memory it only took about a week. I think I was probably eight when I did this and I'm sure that I learned so quickly, and so well, because of the age at which I did this. From then until the end of my playing days, anything I could do with my right foot I could also do with my left. Except for dribbling.

.@RJPJournalism reports that Chelsea’s bid for Anthony Gordon is £25m plus a lot of add-ons to bring it up to £42m.

 

Players from Chelsea to Everton could be involved in separate deals, possibly Michy Batshuayi.

I did very similar, decided from a fairly young age that I wanted to be comfortable with both feet and taught myself at home literally kicking a ball against a wall. It wasn't something that was encouraged or coached into me which I've always found baffling. Probably the only thing I could never quite get was that my left foot was always that little more stronger for brute force or power if say, shooting from distance, but everything else I was just as comfortable on my right foot.

My boy is 8 years old and just really getting into football in the last 6-12 months and due to join a local team when they start back up later this month. However he is coached by them is their prerogative but when he's at the park or in the garden kicking a football around with me he's made to use both feet, and he's been made fully aware the quicker he becomes comfortable using both feet, he'll be a significantly better and more useful player as a result.

With the Gordon bid, it seems that we can't really get Fofana, so Reece will probably be RCB most of the times, with Gordon and RLC as RWB?

Also: saying we don't really need De Jong bc of our packed midfield turned out to be wrong after only 2 games. Our midfield is injury prone af, so a midfielder should be a priority imo, also considering that Kante and Jorhingo would probably leave next summer.

If I could choose between Fofana or De Jong, I would take De Jong 100%. De Jong, or another midfielder, should be priority #2 (after striker^^)

Nothing is suggesting the Fofana pursuit is being abandoned. Lots of credible sources (Fabrizio Romano, Ben Jacobs) have just today said the club are expected to go back in with an improved bid this week.

Maybe the guy from Aston Villa or inter Milan will play
