🇺🇦 Mykhaylo Mudryk

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Absolutely useless on the ball. He should really retire from football and try to compete in some track and field discipline, maybe decatholon. Until Caicedo turns another few of these performances, he will still be our most insane waste of money.

Really needs to show something different to "look I am speed".

He's everything Timo's haters called him.

 

At least Timo could do something else.

Shocking footballer 

[Pizy 18,917]

Really don’t understand it. He looked like an incredibly composed, monster of a technician before we bought him. A wonderful footballer. Taking the ball under pressure, dribbling through entire teams, putting in amazing crosses, scoring great goals. And it wasn’t just in the Ukrainian league, he did it in the UCL too.

Now he looks like a terrified child thrown in the deep end. Can’t even do the basics right.

should have joined Arse instead, he was twerking for them until we swooped in, looking like a flop with each passing game.

It’s bc he just did it 1.5 seasons. That might still be a purple patch.  or he might actually have the talent but not the confidence and routine to ever recreate it under greater pressure. Tons of young players looked like future world beaters for a season and then vanished into oblivion. I think this will be the case for many or our new big money signings. One season wonders who can only do it as underdogs but not when it really matters and with that huge price tag weighing them down. That is why you should never spend big on players that have not proven to handle huge pressure.

yup that's one of the main dangers of buying super young players: the sample is too small -- often non-existant at the highest stage.
It's hard to asses whether they have the right mentality. There is also a question about their physique. It's hard to even know whether they are injury-prone or not, because their career is just starting.

Against what teams ?
Ukraine lost to England by 4-0 in an exhibition match.

Stole Zakharyan's place in the team.

Whilst I don’t think Mudryk has shown anything that good or will ever be worth the money we paid for him, what is this obsession with Zakharyan or players we were linked to but never signed every time someone plays poorly?

I mean honestly, have you even watched Zakharyan? If you have (which I am sure you haven’t), you’ll have noticed he isn’t a winger. But I suppose its the typical lets throw out a ridiculous comment about player X stealing player Y’s place in the team although they aren’t the same positions or same type of players or even both at the same club.

What next? Caicedo stole Gvardiol’s place in the team? Or Jackson stole Veiga’s place in the team? Fuck sake. Try use your brain once in a while.

Who cares what position he was playing that's not even my point, he was a very talented player who wanted hard to play for the Chelsea shirt and was cheap. The only reason the move didn't happen is because Mudryk is from Ukraine and he is from Russia. Also cut down on the personal insults, weren't you one of the guys saying Mount is an absolute baller.

Lukaku was a probable failure ex ante as well but he came off a decent spell at inter and with a good goalscoring record and PL experience. Plus the PR lies about him loving Chelsea and us desperately needing a goalscorer. So a lot of arguments the fools could bring in his favour. Mudryk came off a decent season in Ukrainian league and 6 CL Games. For a position we were stacked. That’s a paper thin case in his favour. Lukaku is a bigger waste of money but Mudryk is the more insane one.

Yeah its the good old Barca started a 16 year old academy graduate, he must be the best player on the planet thing again.

Was the same every time they started someone under 21 with Pep. Barring Busquets and Thiago, look how well they all turned out. Likes of Tello, Cuenca, Bojan….

Well isn’t position relevant when comparing 2 players? Or you could say look at Gvardiol why did we sign player X who is totally different position instead no? Instead of conspiracy theories about where their from and what not. Tin foil hat stuff.

Its common sense to compare players who play in similar positions as opposed to opposite/totally different no? 

Said Mount was a good player yes. Still think he is but that’s irrelevant.

I think its amusing that Chelsea marketing camp convinced people that Mudryk is a serious baller. I mean, even in Brazil I've seen different pundits claiming that he is a very good player, even though I'm pretty sure none of them watched him play before joining us, lol.

He was shocking. One of the most embarrassing performances I've seen from a Chelsea player. Once he replaced Carney we lost all of attacking flair. 

[Vegetable 830]

Not going to trash the guy as everything was said since day one he came here. Where are we gonna go from here? He clearly has limitations, but question is whether team/Poch is capable of making use of him, namely things he does good, eg speed and physicality, in bigger scheme of things or he is going to play whatever position he is playing and we are going to delude ourselves that he is the new Hazard and get frustrated every time life proves he isn't.

If we won't manage to shift him this window I fully expect him going on spiritual trip to Tibet and coming back loving Chelsea again and willing to work and conquer the league. 

Freezing Mbappe out by PSG lasted whole one game, doubt either we and Lukaku can afford him being on gardening leave for long. He has terrible way of presenting himself to the world and seems to give up very easily, but if had he regained some motivation maybe we could at least try to use his size and deflect the ball of him or whatever.
