ED02 if I may, are we interested in Leny Yoro?
{Ed002's Note - Try searching.}
11 Mar 2024 18:27:34
So PSR is being scrapped.
1.) 11 Mar 2024 21:04:28
what is that likely to mean teams can spend what they want.
2.) 11 Mar 2024 22:30:09
It’s not being scrapped ? it’s changing slightly to match UEFA’s FSR, pretty much the same thing really. Clubs only being allowed to spend 85% of turnover on wages and transfers. Think there’s still things to figure out but don’t think it’ll change tooo much.
3.) 11 Mar 2024 22:59:21
Fuser, it is being scrapped mate.
4.) 12 Mar 2024 22:51:49
I’m sorry but very few fan’s understand FFP and my guess would be very few will understand any new proposals.
Why do we bother with worrying about it? If our club has in some way in the past we f? cked up then we deserve to be punished and if it happens for a future offence, so be it.
5.) 13 Mar 2024 12:39:24
Tom fans are allowed to care about the finances if they want too. I'm more supirsed when people don't care. It's one of the most important things in the sport. Do you expect an American to not care about the salary cap in the nba or nfl?
Again, 'so be it' in response to cheating is a bit too 'turn the other way' ish to me. I'm obviously not saying we're cheating, i think we skirt the rulez but that's okay
but if we were cheating I'd be a bit dissapointed.
6.) 13 Mar 2024 15:35:41
Standard, let me know when you understand FFP or PSR. I’m honest enough to say I don’t understand either of them.
I repeat if we are ever punished for breaking any rules I’m not going to bleat about. I will just assume that we deserve it.
Unlike you I have seen zero evidence that suggests we
“Skirt the rules. ” As far as I’m concerned, a team either conforms to the so called rules or breaks them.
7.) 13 Mar 2024 15:49:11
I should have also added that even if I did understand FFP and PSR I wouldn’t have a clue about the CFC”s financial position and how to apply it to FFP or PSR.
8.) 14 Mar 2024 04:54:01
I understand the amortisation pretty simply. Why are you so stand-offish and defensive?
An example of skirting the rules would be amortisation over an 8 year period rather than the standard 5, it was considered a loophole and it was subsequently stopped. If the rule isn't in place, absolutely make the most of it I say but I'd say that's an example of skirting, and not in a bad way.
9.) 14 Mar 2024 06:08:50
So like me you don’t understand FFP or PSR.
Also, working within the rules isn’t “skirting the rules. ”.
10.) 14 Mar 2024 06:41:49
Standard
How is it skirting the rule when there was no rule in place that we could not do deals over an 8 year period.
The rule has since been amended so that we can't do that going forward as you mentioned.
11.) 14 Mar 2024 07:06:11
Bill, I’m probably wrong but I think the “term” of a contract can still run for any agreeable duration.
12.) 14 Mar 2024 07:21:56
Bill I used the worst skirting, not breaking. There was nothing wrong with it as there was no rule in place as explained. But it was a method used to get around ffp absolutely, and although it is risky, I think it smart.
Tom as I typed, I understand it, it really isn't that hard to understand. Did you misread or something?
13.) 14 Mar 2024 07:42:57
Good, so you can now explain FFP and PSR to the posters on this site when we have a question on the subject.
So, under the current rules is there a maximum term/ duration for a players contract?
That’s my first question. I will have loads more over the coming seasons.
14.) 14 Mar 2024 11:18:13
I'm not sure what I've done to deserve this hostility Tom. I apologise if I've upset you somehow. I've actually stuck up for you a few times on here. dissapointing.
15.) 14 Mar 2024 12:32:00
I’m not sure what is “hostile” about asking a question on subject you “understand” but ho hum if you can’t answer the question no problems.
I find it very “disappointing” when I’m constantly miss-quoted by you but I guess that’s the way things are in life.
Just as aside im never that bothered when my opinions are different from other posters. I can’t imagine being a person who would gloat about victory or prefer defeat just to prove a point. God, what a s@it life that would be!
16.) 14 Mar 2024 22:40:10
I'm constantly miss quoted by you also so that's quite ironic. I've suggested many times for you to slow down and read my post again because multiple multiple times you've misquoted or misunderstood me.
17.) 15 Mar 2024 06:54:31
I assume “misunderstood” is a poker term for a crap hand.
18.) 15 Mar 2024 22:48:55
And you've confirmed my point. If you're just going to be negative to my every post why bother replying?
19.) 16 Mar 2024 03:10:49
Surely the point of posting anything is to get a reply, regardless if any reply is positive or negative!
20.) 16 Mar 2024 10:17:23
Tom, to be clear on the hostility Standard is referring to, your replies have come across extremely passive aggressive. Whether you meant it that way or not, that is how it reads. Furthermore, Standard also explained to you that he understood about the amortisation part of FFP, however you decided this clearly meant he claimed to understand FFP as a whole.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with two different views on a subject and having a debate, however your replies are becoming predictable every single time anyone talks about money. You simply say you don’t care about the finances as you don’t understand aspects of it. If this is the case then that’s absolutely fine - however it is far from constructive in consistently repeating that statement across multiple threads. You may not care, others certainly do. What others care about is completely up to them.
FFP is a big thing in the game at the moment, and for the foreseeable future, many people are going to be interested in this and to varying degrees of an understanding. You need to just get used to this instead of calling the pot pink.
21.) 16 Mar 2024 10:53:26
Cech, I have said many times I do not understand FFP or PSR and I have also given my opinion that both terms are generally weaponised. Every single time I’ve asked a poster to explain them both to me I get zero information.
I am well aware of the term “amortisation” and what it it means but as I don’t know if it’s application at a football club applies to all players (ladies, juniors included) all staff, general capex, salaries, bonuses and transfer fees.
I would humbly suggest that instead of expressing concern about FFP or PSR posters just ask a question or if they have a “factual” comment to make on the subject they express them. Any answers on the subject or factual comment would be helpful to me and I’m sure lots of other posters.
Apparently I have a habit as coming across as “passive aggressive. ” That would never be my intention and I obviously apologise for any unintentional offence caused to any poster.
22.) 16 Mar 2024 20:50:30
Your personal understanding of FFP, PSR or amortisation on the broader scale is slightly redundant in terms of what we are currently talking about though Tom?
Firstly just because your understanding of them isn’t at the required level, does not mean that the rest of us should not be able to comment or express concerns on the matter.
Secondly, if anyone here does understand FFP et al, they are under absolutely no obligation whatsoever to divulge that information to either you, myself or anyone else that has questions on the matter. That however does not mean that their contributions to the page should become mute. However if you don’t agree with it by all means share your side. But don’t constantly suggest that others shouldn’t talk about financial or other matters just because you have no interest in them.
I tend to find myself agreeing with a lot you say Tom, however the constant disregard of others concern or questions/ information regarding FFP et al is, simply put, infuriating at times. Anyway, i’m not going to carry on with this, I just hoped to explain to you how it looks from another perspective. I hope you’re well and sending you all the best.
23.) 16 Mar 2024 21:41:32
Cech, of course my understanding or lack of understanding FFP is redundant hence the reason I ask for clarification on how accurate the comments are on the subject. As far as I’m concerned that is one of the selling points of the site.
Surely posting we are are likely to be in breach of any rules needs some explanation.
You and others may well find my “constant disregard” of other people’s concerns about FFP or PSR “infuriating” but I can see no problem in asking the reasons for a such concerns. I find it equally infuriating when fans use the term without any supporting argument.
At some stage it may well happen that we are in breach of some rule or other and if that is the case we will deserve to be punished.
I fully understand fans having concerns about our club’s finances. That’s fine as far as I’m concerned but surely I’m allowed to ask the question why those concerns exist or express my ambivalence.
My health isn’t to bad at the moment thanks Cech. I go back into hospital mid April but hopefully just for an MOT. Stay safe mate.
23 Jun 2023 10:11:52
Looks like our great servant Azpi is also now leaving, a true club legend. The clearout continues at such a pace, well done to the club. Some thought it would not be easy to clear the decks. looking forward to seeing some incoming players now.
1.) 23 Jun 2023 16:07:23
G8, the same applies to Dave as it does for Kante.
I hope we get a chance to give them both individual farewells sooner rather than later.
Two legends in my opinion.
2.) 23 Jun 2023 21:13:29
I wish him well at Inter Milan.
3.) 23 Jun 2023 22:01:16
Dave and Kante going is a changing of the guards moment. I wish them both well but they are leaving with a sackful of medals which they richly deserve.
22 May 2023 20:53:25
Don't shoot the messenger but Mason Mount will sign a new contract with Chelsea. Trust me.
1.) 22 May 2023 21:36:31
Hope is a dangerous thing to give to a man, G8. And giving me hope is exactly what you've done now.
I hope you're well informed :)
2.) 22 May 2023 21:40:06
All stories this evening are it’s almost impossible and out of United Liverpool arsenal and possibly Bayern ( easy tuchel link )
I want him to stay, I think there should be some give and take where neither club are completely happy with the offer and player budges and isn’t completely happy but a deal is signed, but his spoke to klopp, he wants to go, we will have to sell,
Mount out Maddison in? Think his attitude is terrible but if foxes go down?
3.) 22 May 2023 21:42:01
Praying you are right G8.
4.) 22 May 2023 22:06:28
G8, I hope you are correct but I think it’s more likely he will leave. I think Klopp has already reached out to him or his representatives.
5.) 23 May 2023 04:01:39
Lol the club are morons if they lose mount.
6.) 23 May 2023 09:21:20
Maybe he asked for such high wages knowing the club would never meet them then he can leave saying its the clubs fault, not mine.
7.) 23 May 2023 09:49:05
Bill, I think if Mount and the club can’t agree on a new contract they will part amicably.
It’s not as if this situation is unusual.
8.) 23 May 2023 10:24:35
Heart ruling head but I have backed Mount to stay at Chelsea. The price of 15/ 8 was too big to resist.
9.) 23 May 2023 13:38:17
Just me then who’s not bothered if he goes don’t see with the players we have coming through and the likes of Chukwuemeka are.
10.) 23 May 2023 13:42:10
Santos Chukwuemeka Hutchinson enzo kante and the others we are interested in I don’t see him getting him. I think he will end up at Liverpool as I Henderson replacement.
11.) 23 May 2023 14:26:49
Nib, you are not alone, some fans don’t rate him now and never have.
We all see player’s differently but he would be in the first eleven for most top Premiership teams in my opinion.
12.) 23 May 2023 17:01:19
Unlikely dream scenario is that Mount signs and Rice joins.
13.) 23 May 2023 22:34:47
Nib, not just you I don’t care and am completely bored with it.
23 Aug 2022 21:33:40
Bit of news my fellow blues, Anthony Gordon is a TT pick, quick, works hard, strong, full of courage. Conte loves him as well for the same reasons. Can cover as well. He is joining.
Likely Broja goes the other way on loan. a top talent and will improve us, negative sisters will hate of course, looking forward to their reactions when the boy shows just how good he is. as ED02 says, forget the price tag.
PEA is on his way as well, our first choice will be the target for next summer but PEA can and will do a job, confident and prolific, a very good capture. 2 more will come in, a centre back and a midfielder.
1.) 23 Aug 2022 21:56:17
G8, thanks for the update and I agree with almost all of your post. Including the sentiment.
2.) 23 Aug 2022 22:13:06
I couldn’t see how releasing Gordon made sense for Everton, especially given the departure of Richarlison and the funds raised through that. But, if Broja goes the other way on Loan and PEA comes in short term, then I can see the logic all round.
Obviously, I have no idea if any of the above is true!
3.) 23 Aug 2022 22:20:03
Fatduck, I can also see the logic and you are also correct about how believable these stories are.
4.) 23 Aug 2022 23:15:15
Conte loves him so much that they didn’t go above a reported £35m for him, it’s not just the price tag g8 it’s value for money, 60m plus add ins, 50 plus appearances and 6 goals, why not keep what we have, ?
5.) 24 Aug 2022 00:12:39
I don’t see the value in Gordon at all, think there’s far far better options out there. Will support him if he comes though.
6.) 24 Aug 2022 00:20:48
Last season was the 1st time his completed a proper season in his life, his stats were awful too. We think 60+ million for him is a good deal now? Yes we are desperate for players but his NOT a priority. It's laughable knowing we could sign genuine class players for that fee.
7.) 24 Aug 2022 01:20:26
Like i said yesterday. The money is absolutely relevant. I'm quick, I work hard and I'm strong. I'm sh**, but atleast I have those qualities right?
Good pick-up If it's at a low cost price. 60 million is a Gabriel jesus.
8.) 24 Aug 2022 05:29:18
Did the club want Jesus?
9.) 24 Aug 2022 07:25:42
I'm underwhelmed by tuchel signings. Now is a critical part for the new owners as they also want to back the coach but unfortunately tuchel does look out idea what kind players he should bring in. I'm not confident enough with his choice of signings. Especially when I expect him to move with precision in the market for positions that improving but he doesn't know what profile of players he should chase. If the right players are not brought in he's likely going to put Todd and Co into instability in a few years.
Again there will be a time we would have to choose between our talented players and tuchel because tuchel is not good enough in attacking set up which haresulted in selling lukaku, and a werner and I'm not sure if the remainders are happy with their situation. I would certainly let tuchel go instead of selling our talents for his own inadequacy.
I'm not optimistic for the season even when because we don't have a balanced squad which I blame tuchel for the unbalanced squad. He should have articulated his team even before the last season ended because its clear our shortcomings were obvious.
10.) 24 Aug 2022 07:52:12
G8 - has Olive also changed jobs with change of ownership. Is she working now at the Mykonos villa of Boehly instead of Abramovich Yatch?
11.) 24 Aug 2022 10:32:49
Don't start that crap again.
12.) 24 Aug 2022 10:40:43
She is a scaffolder now CFC_manalii.
13.) 24 Aug 2022 11:56:03
So, usually, I don't care about price tags, my worry here is based off it though.
I don't claim to know much about Gordon, but 60 mil does seem excessive. The only way it isn't is if he becomes excellent/ world class. Which means we wouldn't be selling him, so we're not paying this money to make a potential profit, if that makes sense?
Now, there's potential that he doesn't work out and we're in the hole for over 60mil (inc wages that is) . Who is going to want to pay close to that so we're covered?
For that sort of money, I'd be looking for a signing that improves the 1st team immediately. Considering what we spent on Chukwuemeka and Casadei, who are of similar experience, 60 mil seems a bit too much.
14.) 24 Aug 2022 16:52:09
As you mentioned - Who is the preferred target for next summer?
15.) 24 Aug 2022 19:44:18
Nkunku.
G8's banter posts with other poster's replies to G8's banter posts
26 Apr 2024 19:39:00
Total respect to Enzo, playing through pain month after month. Hopefully he will be back to the form he showed at the World Cup and early on his Chelsea career after surgery. Always nice to hear the full story behind player performances. ?.
1.) 26 Apr 2024 21:08:41
Fair play to Enzo but was it wise to play him for so long with this injury?
2.) 26 Apr 2024 23:42:06
Yeah not entirely sure Jimbo. If he’d had it done straight away he’d have been back healed &fit a month or two ago.
3.) 27 Apr 2024 11:01:07
Everyone in there jobs work through injuries, are we seriously celebrating this to excuse why he's been underwhelming at chelsea from his first game? He has ability but he has to improve. Fair enough he's playing through it but when his performances are as dire as they were against arsenal, it's better to not play.
4.) 27 Apr 2024 12:28:50
Standard, you will be returning to a country that has millions of people not working because of sickness and there will also be a percentage of those “sick” people who are bogus!
To say “everyone” in the jobs work through injuries is just wrong. There will be a percentage of people in this country who have to work to pay the bill and they have to work through there suffering but that does not apply to “everyone. ”
I have no idea if the Enzo injury that he has carried for several months, probably to help the club through its injury issues, has affected his playing performance. My guess is neither have you.
I hope to see a pain free Enzo next season strutting his stuff. I will leave my judgement until after then.
25 Apr 2024 09:52:13
ED025 must be well pleased after that result last night. I certainly didn't see that coming. Just shows what a difficult and competitive league this is and sometimes that is lost on people! 7th is needed for a European place and with Newcastle also losing that is still a possibility and might just be a good competition for our young squad? Or are we best off missing Thursday night football?
{Ed025's Note - i want to know what happened when we visited the Bridge G8, you whacked us mate yet we went out last night and deservedly beat Liverpool who i see as a better side than Chelsea, yes no game is easy but like you we seem to go from the sublime to the ridiculous in a very small time frame, you have to ask yourselves are our players taking the piss or what?..
1.) 25 Apr 2024 13:14:16
I think it just shows what a top class brilliant team Everton are. The manager is also ahead of the game tactically?
But, can we play you every week.
Hope things improve for you next season Ed.
{Ed025's Note - cheers Tom, we are far from a good team mate and Dyche is a dinosaur imo, but i might just take him over Poch, not many teams give us a good hiding though like you did but you are so inconsistent that you never know which Chelsea will turn up..
2.) 25 Apr 2024 16:15:41
My god football fans are fickle read the Liverpool pages you would think they are about to get relegated.
3.) 25 Apr 2024 16:48:50
Unbelievable isn't it seymns. Almost as bad as the 2 or 3 on here who get out of bed the wrong way every day. ?.
4.) 25 Apr 2024 15:24:04
Ed025, I applaud your response on the Liverpool site to someone who suggested the players were physically done. That excuse by players, coaches and some fans makes me angry. My late father worked on building sites six days a week into his seventies: no sick pay etc. He never complained about being tired at home only my long hair and music. Tired: what a load of tosh.
{Ed025's Note - absolutely Jimbo, i done 50 years in all kinds of weather mate and extra work of a weekend and nobody called for me to have a rest, me and your dad were probably two peas in a pod and these pampered prima-donna footballers want a rest for playing 1 game a week on average!, and i suspect they were on a bit more than us wages wise as well...but you do need a haircut.. :)
5.) 25 Apr 2024 17:03:59
G8, do you come on here just to dig people out? Respect that other people have a different opinion to you
6.) 25 Apr 2024 18:03:39
Horans, I haven’t got a clue why you would respond in the way you have to G8 but surely the reverse of your comment must also be true?
Who cares who is positive or negative about the club, owners, manager or any player. We all just give our opinions and if we are honest most of our opinions are in some way biased.
By the way, I generally enjoy your posts.
7.) 25 Apr 2024 20:01:54
What a strange comment Horan? Read my posts today, all constructive, all about debate, all about opinion plus a bit of banter! Try not to take things too seriously mate, it's a fun page.
8.) 25 Apr 2024 20:08:57
The Liverpool page is in full meltdown mode when they’re 3rd and they’re ripping into their players and even Klopp ? see very similar scenes on here too.
9.) 25 Apr 2024 20:09:42
It’s just a bit unnecessary Tom, I enjoy everyone’s posts, including G8 but calling others out like that is petty.
10.) 25 Apr 2024 21:30:20
It's madness Fuser, it's a banter site. ??.
11.) 25 Apr 2024 21:42:31
Horans, i have been criticised, often quite correctly for a significant percentage of my posts. I’ve been a racist, a cult supporter (whatever that is), condescending, having a superior attitude, old fashioned, rubbish, a vegetable and biased (I am) .
None of the comments stop me wittering on and generally posting crap. Although I do try and subdue my cantankerous instincts.
I find venting my feelings helps me cope in lots of different ways. So, I just assume it’s probably the same for some other posters and just tolerate them……hahaha.
12.) 26 Apr 2024 00:02:08
G8, I agree. We all love Chelsea on this site but have different opinions. Also, l personally love a bit of gallows humour e. g we are on course beat our record for goals that we have conceded in the PL.
13.) 25 Apr 2024 21:59:32
Ed025, don’t worry, now get my hair cut regularly but still playing Led Zeppelin, the Free, Bob Dylan, Tim Buckley and Thin Lizzy-stuck in the seventies.
Just to say I’m pleased that Everton are safe now- proper fans, especially that you are moving into your new stadium . Exciting times for the Toffees.
{Ed025's Note - thanks Jimbo..
14.) 26 Apr 2024 07:33:02
I agree, very good fans and they always seemed very different from Liverpool fans. I suppose, thinking about it that’s no different to other same city supporters.
Anyway, the best fans at the bridge for the last few seasons in my opinion have been the Forest fans. So I hope they stay up.
15.) 26 Apr 2024 08:44:46
I think we just started so we’ll v you guys, also if Beto puts that chance away it changes the game, I think it’s a simple as you guys were Uk for a fight and they thought they’d brush you aside, see how many Everton players were throwing themselves in front of the ball and getting blocks in DCL lead line brilliantly.
25 Apr 2024 10:39:29
Enzo now having his surgery, played through pain for the side and clearly not able to perform to his best but gutsy. I like that quality in a player. I now hope Poch pairs Conor and Moises together for the rest of the season.
1.) 25 Apr 2024 10:57:06
You'd think it will have to be since no one else is fit! It would ne nice to see Golding or Dyer get some minutes but in likelihood we'll see Mudryk playing as a 10 in a desperate attempt to get something out of him.
2.) 25 Apr 2024 11:10:53
G8, I agree, I like that determination in a player.
I also agree about Gallagher playing as a DM and I hope Poch now starts Chuka.
3.) 25 Apr 2024 11:48:09
I'm with you Tom on playing Carney. Maybe experiment with Jackson on the left? I think Blueboy suggested trying Mudryk up top? I would play Big Trev and Silva at centre back for the rest of the season.
4.) 25 Apr 2024 12:18:10
g8 and Tom agree with playing Carney.
For me this season is gone so from now to the end of the season wouldn't play anyone who is not going to be here next year, although as far as centre backs go this policy could go wrong we need Colwill fit long time out with a toe injury.
5.) 25 Apr 2024 12:44:10
Agree with CG and Moises as DMs and yes really no alternative. Would also wonder how we can get more out of our attak, we don't have many options there that either haven't been tried already and not been v successful or because of our huge injury list. Are any on it due back any time soon? Will Lavia, for instance, be fit for any game time before the end of the season? or Nkunku? I've lost track - perhaps hope - of may recover in time!
Would Mudryk up front with Jackson in 4222 formation, with CP and CC just behind them be worth trying? Should Deivid Washington also be given some game time as a sub up front?
6.) 25 Apr 2024 13:16:35
I may well end up being wrong and that is often the case but I just can’t see Mudryk starting any game for Chelsea in what remains of this season.
7.) 25 Apr 2024 14:00:42
You may be right Tom. Such a pity he hasn;t (yet) become the player he would seem to have the talent to be. Possibly doesn't help such a lad that he has been playing in team with largely with other young and relatively EPL inexperienced players, so many changes through injury and rotation.
8.) 25 Apr 2024 14:18:17
You can see he has raw talent, very quick feet, explosive pace and he plays well for Ukraine. I think one of the ED's mentioned it took him time to settle and he also looks like a player who lacks confidence. Being in and out the side doesn't help either but I agree, he isn't performing anywhere near the level expected.
9.) 25 Apr 2024 18:08:56
I think it was Wenger who said “the difference between a good player and a great player is between the ears. ”
If I remember correctly it was reported the lad had some initial personal problems. I hope they have or are being resolved. Certainly the potential looks to be there but the lad isn’t firing for us yet but these things can change very quickly and I’m desperate for him to be the best he can be!
10.) 25 Apr 2024 22:46:26
I would give Mudryk time it takes a season or so to settle and being Ukrainian can't be easy for the young lad.

Some posters on here did nothing but moan about Pulisic and Havertz, look how well they are now doing. They moaned about RLC and Jorginho, look how well they are both doing. They now moan about this player and that player on here. And when those players move on and the next ones come in the whole cycle will start again. Not everyone on here but certainly 2 or 3.

Normally I agree with you in lockstep G8, but have to push back on this.
Pulisic for AC Milan: 45 games, 13 goals, 8 assists in 3168 mins.
Pulisic for Chelsea (21/ 22): 38 games, 8 goals, 5 assists in 2208 mins. No marked improvement, he's just stayed fit compared to last season.
Havertz for Arsenal: 47 games, 12 goals, 5 assists in 3467 mins.
Havertz for Chelsea: 47 games, 9 goals, 1 assist in 3256 mins. No marked improvement, but he's playing in a much better team.
No one was begging for RLC to be sold as far as I recall. Can you point to Jorginho playing better this season than he did for Chelsea? Is he playing any better for Arsenal than Enzo is for Chelsea?

G8, they had a right to moan…. those players never lived up to the hype for us, they had plenty of chances but failed.
Time for people to start accepting the reality that half of this squad will not live up to the hype for us and some will, some already have.

Some players will be successful at Chelsea and some will not. It will always be that way.
I think it was Ed001 who said that sites get busier after a defeat than a win.
I wouldn’t have a clue statistically but maybe more people just like to moan. I certainly “enjoy” the occasional moan!

I had no issues with the sale of Havertz or Jorginho. and btw I didn’t think Havertz was all that great last night, (he didn’t need to be) . Havertz was and is what he was with Chelsea, functional. The very basics of the team is not right, that being the spine. GK, CB, CB, CM, CF. These guys need to be the very top, you can buy and slot in players at the £30-£40m range roundabout that, but that is where your big expenditure should be concentrated . I’m neutral on Poch, but he doesn’t do himself any favours. Unless injuries had a hand last night, Silva and Chalobah were the obvious CBs, that would have helped Gilchrist. Didn’t get the criticism around CG? Arsenal couldn’t get the ball off him, Caicedo and Enzo were alright on the ball but were too easily bypassed without it, Jackson, Murdyke, Madueke, Sterling, I think Jackson might cut it, but no issues if they can find buyers for all of them. Big summer coming up. Go on Chels.

Havertz with 1 goal more than flop Jackson and cost twice as much, lol.
6.) 24 Apr 2024 17:55:36
Havertz 33 games 11 goals 4 assists
Jackson 29 games 10 goals 4 assists
But yeah Havertz is the second coming, ballon d’or incoming,

I think I mentioned that a wag at the Everton game said that Palmer has now scored more goals than Havertz did in his entire Chelsea career.
8.) 24 Apr 2024 23:36:15
Oh no g8.
23 Apr 2024 21:14:37
For all the Poch lovers. Why drop Big Trev? Why drop Silva? No need. What does Conor offer as an attacking midfielder? he was outstanding as a 6 next to Moises against Everton. Why change it? I could go on but little point. Poch is clueless. taxi for Poch please.
1.) 23 Apr 2024 22:08:44
Should that be all the Poch lovers who wanted him as our manager.
2.) 23 Apr 2024 22:21:30
Would of played Trev, Silva can't play two games in 72 hours, agree that he shouldn't of played Fernandez not fit.
3.) 24 Apr 2024 01:32:25
For all the Jackson and Madueke lovers, hitting the target from 3 yards should be a basic skill, being brave to header a ball, another, tracking back,
19 Apr 2024 10:22:15
If you read the posts it has already been stated we have no interest in Isak.
18 Apr 2024 09:02:44
Would be a good signing I think, we don't want to block the pathway of Jackson by buying another young player. His experience could prove invaluable.
15 Apr 2024 09:58:51
So would I Tom. For clarity, I was asking the question about Conor playing in the 6!
14 Apr 2024 22:21:30
Read the posts Pochempire and keep up?.
14 Apr 2024 20:42:39
I agree with you Blueboy1 in the 10 role but would you play him deeper in place of Moises or Enzo?
26 Apr 2024 19:57:31
I think that is the most likely scenario Matt. Taxi for Poch.
26 Apr 2024 15:33:06
Is it lifestyle? Is it the Cobham facilities? Is it the training methods? Is it the curse of Eva?
I have no idea but it must be more than just bad luck?
25 Apr 2024 21:30:20
It's madness Fuser, it's a banter site. ??.
25 Apr 2024 20:01:54
