I don’t have pause about Kounde’s aerial abilities

then you must not watch much of his games

plus he is poor positionally far too often

he is a ball watcher

 

but for most on here

like we say back in Bim

Hard ears yuh won't hear, own way you gine feel

Chelsea star N’Golo Kanté withdrawn from France squad due to knee injury 

https://astamfordbridgetoofar.com/2022/06/Chelsea-ngolo-kante-france-knee-injury-latest-update-return-date/

 

he needs to be sold

he is a walking med bay

Willing to wage it’s the same knee problem he had recently so it’s chronic. 
 

So he now has chronic injuries in his hamstring, calf, and knee. 
 

A decision needs to be made this summer.

Telling Lyon fans don’t rate Emerson

Him returning will be almost as depressing as Lukaku staying. He's an absolute nothing player.

If the board are refusing to invest in a new LB/LWB this summer then keep Marcos, give Maatsen the spot or even use Gallagher in a Zinchenko/Milner type inverted role, anyone but Emerson.

I would start getting used to that idea if I was you lol

This Bremer fella looks decent in his youtube highlights... has anyone seen any matches of him and if so do his youtube highlights show the real Bremer??

As mentioned earlier I can only think (1) Tuchel doesn't want to make too many changes to the squad this season and work with too many new players, and (2) he see's Emerson more as a left back option than Alonso which might open up more chances to play a back 4.

I agree with you, I just think Emerson is distinctly average at everything. At least with Alonso whilst he has defensive flaws, he can get a few goals.

One of the worst myths on here is that Emerson is somehow defensively superior to Alonso.

IMO., he's even more dangerous. Whereas Alonso lacks speed and sometimes concentration., Emerson on the other hand flat out doesn't give a shit. He'll gladly let crosses swing in from his flank to cause chaos at the back, even if he's close to the attacker.

As @Blue Armourhas said I think he's worse even in a back four. Also the signs are back three is staying which makes his inclusion even more mindblowing if it happens.

He was the main reason England managed to take Italy to penalties in the Euro final.

For the goal he was basically in the centre looking like he was trying to hold the CBs hand while Trippier/Walker had the freedom of the flank and that last minute hack down of Saka by Chilleni happened due to him covering for Emerson being caught up the pitch.

Emerson is shit. EOS.

If that is who is our LB/LWB when Chilly cannot go we are just as fucked, no MORE fucked, than last year.

It's bullshit if this is how we are going to to roll.

EOS.

The only thing Emerson is an improvement on is Sarr, who is one of the 10 worst players at Chels this century.

Only change I would make is making Kante bold.

[Vesper 27,335]

another CF option off the board

for CF only 4 viable options now remain on the planet atm IMHO

Osimhen

Jesus

Lautaro Martínez

Lewa (he wants Barca badly)

well, I think it will be hard to let both Kante and Jorginho go in same window, now that we lost out on Tchou

UNLESS we swap Donkeykaku for Barella (the closest thing out there to Kante IMHO)

and somehow buy Rice as well 

OR

(more likely, IF he is cleared of sex charges) Bissouma and just go for Rice next summer

Doesn't really matter if he's going to spend next season on the bench because he can't get off the Injury table.
