22 years old, yes we paid alot due to getting into a war with Arsenal, but you can see how Poch coaches and in the games as well, if he doesn’t crack it under Poch then he won’t do anything.

We have let too many gems go to give up on Mudryk this early.

All well and good saying that but after last season, he needs to start fast.

If we get through this season and he hasn’t achieved anything or shown any huge improvements - then people will rightfully ask the question is he 1) good enough and 2) ever going to be worth the money?

Him more so than the others due to his price tag.

So that's Mudryk and Jackson already praising Poch, glad to hear that! Having a feel-good atmosphere and enjoying playing will be of crucial importance in making this young team click.

[Fulham Broadway 16,410]

The friendlies so far have showed his new willing to shoot more, take players on and use that electric pace. Pochs influence hopefully.

Could be devastating with Jackson on the break if they click. 

Son and Kane on speed.

Chilwell has said he hasnt fulfilled his promise yet...

[TheHulk 1,398]

Stole Zakharyan's place in the team.

[IvanK 1]

Pinnacle of his Chelsea career will be a preseason goal vs Brighton. Money well spent

[Magic Lamps 11,452]

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".

Watched to much Flash on tv as a kid, doesn't know how to do anything else.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,745]

He's everything Timo's haters called him.

 

At least Timo could do something else.

Shocking footballer 

[Pizy 17,860]

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. 

[Johnnyeye 7,415]

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.
