Youd get some people in the drafts arguing for this I'm sure.

Given a choice, who would you have?

[polymerpunkah]

Ben White or a freshly-baked turkey?

 

 

Arsenal all over Chelsea in the last US money-spinner.

 

I don't want to wish Koulibaly ill, but if he does get injured and Chelsea have to play Chalabah at CB with any frequency, they're going to ship goals.

 

Amazing just how bad Werner is.

 

Sterling? If it isn't served up to him on a plate, he isn't eating. And Chelsea look a bit short of wait staff at the moment.

Real vs Barca on now

Near enough full teams, pre season

[Lee909]

[Lee909]

Only preseason but Barcelona looking really good. 1 up great strike Raphinha. Linking up well with Lewandowski already. Really good game

I remember we had a thread on here in the dim and distant past about who was better, Ronaldinho or Momo Sissoko.

chelsea lost 4-0 to arsenal and Tuchel is moaning about the players at his disposal. Meanwhile, the Wail are running an article suggesting Boehlys' US 'revolution' of the club could change the whole PL!

To be fair, it seems to say they are coming at it from a non-FSG direction: spend big to create success. I mean, what could go wrong with that model? I guess football boards really do ask "what would Everton do?".

I thought Boehly said he would follow the FSG model so Im not convinced by the article. But, with the sale of the club being conditional on any new owner committing £200m to the team this window with another £800m for stadium 'improvements,' they've been given a free hit on bringing players in, in my opinion.

[TheHowieLama]

He meant the PSG model.

After getting pumped by Arsenal yesterday, I thought Tuchel’s comments were a bit much…

Maybe his pissed off at missing Raphina & possibly Kounde now, sounds like Alonso is close to going, if I was an existing player, I’d be thinking “fuck you”. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Haaland will score shitloads with that basic to the byline and cutting it back in that City do to damn near perfection.

He's throwing his toys out as he's prone to do. Tuchel is firmly in the Mou Mou/Conte tier of bitchy managers. He's talking about his attackers as if Chelsea haven't spent like 300m on them. 

[an tha]

It would be really good to see those horrible bastards slide back to being shite again.

 

They have managed to defy all known principles for success like stability, having managers who build a vision over time, having a proper transfer policy etc....by just throwing their wealth around.

 

If it is now all coming crashing down for them post Abramovich - then good.

 

Horrible twats - and one of the most horrible fan bases in the game.

Tuchel has also just spent c.£85m on players in the last week or so! 
 

He shouldn’t have spent £100m on that fat lump Lukaku either.

He didn't. Chelsea buy players and their head coach has to use them.

Tough one. 

 

[polymerpunkah]

It's not as if Chelsea's room doesn't have form for turning against managers, either.

 

Hopefully the whole thing goes to shit. 

[TheHowieLama]

Bergkamp for me.

If Cantona had Bergkamps focus he'd be better but i probably agree. 

[Pete]

Bergkamp.  

[Scott_M]

Bergkamp.

He didn't buy Lukaku but he does now apparently have a say in transfers.

 

Didn't he become increasingly difficult and erratic at Dortmund as the pressure built? I assume with a new regime he's under considerable pressure at the moment?

[Jairzinho]

Cantona wasn't anywhere close to being as good as Bergkamp.
