Mitoma is liked internally at Chelsea. (@JacobsBen)

Would rather get Pedro Neto. Cheaper and is a really good winger.

If we miss on Calafiori take Hincapie. Great player. Completely stopped Argentina. Pacho one to watch also. 

Not too worried we missed on Olise and Calafiori. They're not once-in-a-generation kind of players. Plenty of players we can still sign and complete the team.

Neto is excellent, very underated player

While Olise would've been the better option given our weaknesses, I think Calafiori could be a one-in-a-generation type. It's evidently hard to say for sure at this point, but he has shown that spark of brilliance in the toughest moment, which only the truly exceptional have.

he has scored THREE GOALS in his last 31 EPL games

and will turn 28 near the end of this coming season

so only 2 full sub 30yo seasons left

if he bombs after 2 or 3 years, he will either be turning 30 or already 30yo and his value for resale will be fuckall

hard pass, he will never be the same after that horrid knee injury, unfortunately

[Special Juan 27,178]

Nah, knee injury no problem, we can make him worse if he signs for us, he won't be walking this time next year

One of my favorite players in all of Europe to watch before that injury. Honestly, he looked pretty decent in the limited minutes I saw of him with Italy this summer? Still looked really quick and dangerous when Italy actually passed him the ball.

As it stands Chelsea are looking for a left footed IV who can also play at LV as there would only be 3 players who can play that and would fit into Chelsea's regime.
Calafiori goes to Arsenal
Hincapie 
J.Hato 

 

Unfortunately all these players practically never played as a LV but only as a IV:
Pacho 
Inacio 
Murillo 
Branthwaite 
Lukeba 
Bastoni (too expensive)
Schlotterbeck (not so great)
Botman (injured) 
Buongiorno (goes to Napoli) Hancko (goes to Atletico)
Kilman (goes to West Ham)

Glenn van der Kraan [2020]:

🗣️ "On my desktop is a photo of Johan Cruyff and Wim Jansen — two legends from Dutch football, icons with a passion and love for the development of youth.

During the Master in Coaching I did at Johan Cruyff Institute, my personal coach mentioned a quote from Cruyff: “It’s about time, room and direction.” This is exactly what is of great importance in educating youth."

The Cobham Academy is fucked up by the clowns  like everything  else in the club  .  The last parts of the Roman era Hayes and the Academy coaches staff quit the club because of the clowns. This is not Chelsea anymore  this is Clownlake FC MoneyBall Mercants .
