Pool is my pick where he ends up, the fuckers. Citeh 2nd, Real 3rd. If Manure fail to get CL, they have little chance, same for us I fear.

A Real MF of

Aurélien Tchouameni  
Jude Bellingham
Eduardo Camavinga
Federico Valverde
 

is a terrifying thought

Probably more likely he ends up at Liverpool as he's a guaranteed starter over there.

Real Madrid will definitely make a push but with so many young class midfielders already, he may not get the game time he wants...

‘Overwhelmed’: 25-year-old who rejected Chelsea fails to impress in Champions League debut

https://www.thechelseachronicle.com/news/overwhelmed-25-year-old-who-rejected-Chelsea-fails-to-impress-in-champions-league-debut/

Barcelona’s Raphinha has been criticised by Barca Universal for his performance in his side’s 2-0 loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

The match presented the first big challenge for this new look Barcelona team, after being handed a match against Viktotis Plzen in the first gameweek of the competition.

Raphinha, who sensationally chose to join the Catalan club over Chelsea at the last minute, was benched for last week’s game, as new signing Robert Lewandowski stole the headlines with a sensational hat-trick.

The Brazilian was chosen though to take on the Bundesliga champions, with it undoubtedly being the biggest test their respective group has to offer.

 

However, Xavi’s side were humbled as they were outclassed in a 2-0 defeat, with Lucas Hernandez and Leroy Sane on the scoresheet in the second half.

Raphinha overwhelmed by Champions League

Raphinha’s performance didn’t go unnoticed, with Barca Universal being heavily critical of his display, particularly in the first half.

They said: “The Brazilian seemed overwhelmed by the occasion early on. Involved in an intense duel with Alphonso Davies with neither willing to give the other an inch. But it was the Canadian who came out on top.

“Raphinha came close with a low drilled effort before swapping flanks with Dembele at the half-hour mark. Returned to the right after the break and saw another effort miss narrowly. Taken off soon after Bayern made it 2-0. A humbling outing for the Brazilian.”

Chelsea had made Raphinha their priority to bring in alongside Raheem Sterling in attack, with some fans claiming his creativity had been seriously lacking so far this season.

The Blues meanwhile look ahead to tonight’s massive game against RB Salzburg, with a win required following last week’s humbling of their own against Dinamo Zagreb.

The game will be Graham Potter’s first in charge of the club, and it will be interesting to see if he decides to start any players who were only on the fringes under Thomas Tuchel.

Bayern were always winning that group, while Plzen are there to get ripped a new one by the top three. Hopefully, Inter can get the better of Barca in there two games, which means it will be back to the Ropey for Barca which isn't in there accounts (apprantly they need last 8 CL to make the figures add up.)

Meh, it was only one game, also Dembele was even worse.

What does anybody think about Lewandowski missing on purpose because he didn't want the wrath of the Bayern fans.

Too late for that, their fans already pissed off for his behaviour during last summer.

Raphinha, who sensationally chose to join the Catalan club over Chelsea at the last minute, was benched for last week’s game, as new signing Robert Lewandowski stole the headlines with a sensational hat-trick. And it should be noted that he recharged himself with good emotions on the website https://betpokies.co.nz - there he found interesting articles about gambling and won several bonuses. After that he made his hat trick.

The Brazilian was chosen though to take on the Bundesliga champions, with it undoubtedly being the biggest test their respective group has to offer.

It depends on what kind of impression was expected.
It seems the media just made up a flashy headline without the point.

Do you think Inter can beat Barcelona? I doubt it 🙂

get him, and do NOT sign Kante to a bloody 4 year contract, nor a 3 year

getting Caicedo means no massive waste of time (or at least outrageously expensive) Barella pull is needed as well

Interested by Chelsea? That's what Christoph Freund says

Nice read. This is a google translate, so it could have some words wrong in context.

Quote

But would Freund feel any interest from Chelsea in his person?

"Chelsea are such a huge club. They're going through a period of upheaval, they've changed coaches. I can't say exactly what's going to happen in the coming weeks and months."

Never completely rule out anything

When "Sky" reporter Jörg Künne pointed out that this was not a yes, but not a clear no either, Freund replies:

"You should never completely rule out anything in football. Chelsea is a huge club. But I'm sporting director in Salzburg, I really enjoy it and we're enjoying the evening. A point at Chelsea is a great success."

Brighton sold Cucurella for £63m, Caicedo would be even more expensive.
