Nothing against Mudryk but I think BB has been pretty exceptional since he’s come in really. He looks like he’s been here for ages. Plus him and Silva look like they are our best pairing already. Why not take that in Europe? ulsterchelsea and manpe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 He's going to be a superstar, already so comfortable and solid. Great find by the scouts! Potentially saved tens of millions by unearthing this lad. Blue Armour and Vesper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even feel Marina could have passed on him a few times before, but I actually like the idea of buying at least a bit proven wonderkids when they are more expensive, but not yet ridiculously expensive and not the hottest thing on Twitter right now.. Big plus for him not looking lost in Premier League that seems to be the case with a lot of wonderkids. Shame he was left out of CL, another very wired decision. On the other hand, french fans were pointing he is prone to mistakes and he seems to be a bit forgotten by other big clubs, so wouldn't be surprised if love for him lasts until his first howler.

Pizy 18,917 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Still getting used to the increased intensity of the league but already very comfortable. All he really has to do is iron out the 1 or 2 positional errors he has had each game so far and he’ll be a mainstay in the team for a long time. His few mistakes have pretty much all been either getting caught not fully switched on when the ball gets turned over quickly or like yesterday when he was wrong side of the Fulham winger who raced in behind him. But even after the mistake yesterday he was able to get back in front of Decordova and snuff it out. He basically devours anything played in his area in the air and he’s very calm in possession. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I think with him instead of K2 in the squad we would stand a chance vs BVB. K2 and Fofana are just useless so that's probably that for our CL campaign. Mad decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duppy Conqueror 1,537 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 At a position it’s hard to adjust to the PL from abroad,he’s looked very assured.others will shine more than they have yet,but so far Benoit is the the best signing of the TB era.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should definitely have been in ahead of one of the new boys for sure. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I can think of for having Felix instead, is that might have been part of the agreement when we signed him. That he would be selected for the CL.

I would have left Mudryk out I know it sounds insane, but Felix is more experienced and also the massive cost of his loan versus so few games he can play basically mandates he be included Mudryk has 8 and half years left on his contract and is on low wages FUCK UEFA rules limiting us to so few adds we should (and all clubs should) be able to do whatever they want with the CL roster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the cost of Felix, I'd treat it as a nil item. Unless there are specific clauses we will probably never learn about, his fee and wages have to be paid whether he features in the CL or not, so that shouldn't be a consideration when selecting the squad. 12 minutes ago, Vesper said: Mudryk has 8 and half years left on his contract and is on low wages Ditto Mudryck costs. 12 minutes ago, Vesper said: FUCK UEFA rules limiting us to so few adds This part of your comment is seven words too long.

It's clearly a massive risk, and a million kilometres away from where we'd want to be, but the limitations force hard decisions. I agree with all you say, but this is the risk I would choose to take.

I can accept Mudryk in and Felix out but neither Enzo and Badi out its ripping apart the spine of the team leaving both out litterally, if you look at the team in a back 4 the spine is GK CB CB DMF AMF CF so if you take them out the spine is 83.33 per cent spineless (well lets say 75 per cent, as I will give Kepa half a spine, lol) GK Kepa half fucked KK all fucked Thiago the ONLY 100 per cent to the good good part of the spine DMF (if no Kante nor Zakaria due to injuries) then who the hell knows, Gallagher? LOLOLOL 100 per cent fucked AMF Mount or Ziyech both well fucked CF we have ZERO on the CL roster, so its either Kai or Felix or some super shitty sham false nine (as opposed to the great Sham 69, lolol) so CF is actually negative point, not just zero  Edited February 4, 2023 by Vesper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My priority additions to the CL list are Mudryck and Badiashile. Thereafter I would select Ezno, leaving Felix off the list. If, however, the situation you speculated about was in force, and it was contractually necessary to select Felix, then I would choose to omit Enzo instead. In all cases three of the four make the squad, and two of the three are Badiashile and Mudryck.
