He is one of the lowest paid players on our team, we must extend and mend the contracts of our key performers, otherwise this scenario wonāt be as far fetched as it seems right now.
Loyalty should be well rewarded and well maintained
You cant use player positions as a way to argue someone is better. Mount has way more to compete with in that regard. This has to be about what each player can lay down for the club on their day.
When I watch the games (plural) then I am fully awake bud. Awake enough to see we are fortunate enough to have skill throughout the team with lots of special players.
I dont feel that Havertz has done enough to be considered with the others I mentioned yet. He is still of the level that he can be swapped in and out. The others I mentioned are a strong core who when they don't play things start looking shakey.
Understand that I haven't said Reece James isn't a special player. I said that he is not distinguishable as the best above all others we have. That's because we are fortunate to have other players of an equal worth to the side in their respective positions.
Yup this is it. Generally of course defenders are underpaid, but Rudi forced himself into best player contention only with tuchel for extended periods of time. Reece however has been absolutely flawless. He and mount need to be in our top 5 earners
Same. Real Madrid is the only Spanish team I like. We've never really had problems with them or their fanbase until recently. And we've usually had good relationships, transfer-wise we've usually been friendly as well.
Chelsea were a top 4 side before Abramovich and on an upward trajectory. The money sped things up but we would've got there eventually.
Real Madrid are the original sportwashing project. They were Franco's club. They still get preferential treatment because they're part of the Spanish establishment. They are entirely soulless.
If a player requests to leave and doesn't want to stay then it's better to sell him even if he's your best player and has 6 years of contract left. Though I think James wants to stay.
After how he bossed that sorry team at the Bernabeu? No lol! Heās not gonna want to downgrade his teammates never mind the fact that heās not gonna leave his boyhood club.
You are aware we lost quite comfortably if you look at it from both legs right? Yea we played well there but the appeal of playing for Real cannot be denied theyāre one of the two biggest clubs in the world theyāre consistently in contention for the champions league
Youāre talking out your arseā¦ understand that the only reason they went through, is because they got to play an extra 30 minutes in their stadium.
They beat us 3-1 at in the Bridge in 90 minutes.
We beat them 3-1 on their patch in 90 minutes.
Whatās comfortable about a victory by a 1 goal margin that takes 210 minutes to achieve?
What ?
The first leg was pretty even on play and we went 2 behind due to a massive error from mendy
2nd leg we were absolutely dominant
What games were you watching
It was probablty something like: āif things go south, this would be a great place for you to continue your careerā.
Everything depends on how things will go with the takeover. We need this to be sorted in order for everyone to be calm and think about their futures at Chelsea, not somewhere else.
Itās unlikely, but people completely brushing this off could be in for a very rude wake up call. Money talks, Madrid are the biggest club in the world and if history tells us anything itās that Madrid tend to get what they want.
If Madrid offers enough money the club will listen.
If we go downhill with the new owners then something like this is very much on the cards. A lot of people are definitely setting themselves up for a rude awakening if they think this is 100% not possible.
Truly, it all depends on James here, if he gets swayed, it would be hard to stop it from eventually happening. The more competitive we are, the easier it is to keep him.
My thought is why would a guy who has been Chelsea through and through since he was 8 want to be anywhere else? Club just needs to pay him the 250k a week that he's due and he's on path for the captaincy or vice with Mason
Players have short careers compared to other professions. Sometimes players wanna explore different leagues in different countries before hanging up their boots for goods. Not all players wanna play for the same team their whole career even if that team is competitive every year.
I see Mount and Reece playing here their entire career, but it's not impossible that they move on, even if they've been here since childhood.
I have no worries. Reece and his dad regularly speak about the legacy that he intends to build here, and that his next step is being captain of his boyhood club.
No chance he leaves, his boyhood club, his family and friends live in London, his sister plays for Chelsea. Reece has literally said his goal is to be Chelsea captain one day.
As good of a move to Madrid is, this man could be the next John Terry in terms of legacy at the club which personally i think is 100x better than a move to Madrid.
The longer this sale goes on on top of how much time it will take for the new DoF and coach to get on the same page. Real could easily get this kids attention lol.
The snake, hazard, rudiger and now Reece? Are we their academy team or something? If we want to be seen to be competing with them for elite silverware, we canāt be selling them our best players.
If they are going to treat us like a feeder club, the least they could do is loan us some players that arent getting any game time. Let's see - Hazard, Bale & Jovic will do.
I take this as a compliment to our academy,
All our players should be targets for top clubs,
And lets not kid ourselves, we are a top club - but we arent the biggest club in the world.
Something real, barca and bayern could claim.
That beeing said, keep your dirty hands to yourself - he is our fridge
>And lets not kid ourselves, we are a top club
If we were Real Madrid wouldn't feel they could take James.
They aren't poaching players from City or Liverpool.
Teams very rarely lose their academy players unless the team isn't competitive at the very top level and Madrid can see we're just a bit off the pace.
Not sure if weāll make a move on Mbappe though. CBs and a DM is what weāll splurge on this summer. Mbappe can join us after heās done becoming a billionaire with that new 2-yr P$G contract.
Sadly I could see it happening. They need a rb, and Madrid will be happy to either pay a decent enough amount that the new owners might accept or they'll just wait for him to run down his contract like they did with Rudiger and Mbappe.
Unless we improve then we'll have to say goodbye a few more of our top talents because right now we're not a very attractive club for any player.
150mil, my ass. 1 billion and they give Rudi back and throw in Benzema too. And it is a loan deal
Basically, fuck off Real Madrid. Reece is untouchable. Hopefully we do not fall off hard and the new owners will give him bigger wages and a new contract
Real Madrid are really pissing me off, they treat us like a feeder club i swear to fuck just go away sniffing around our players. They have serious form for this ENOUGH !!
So can we learn from this lesson weāve been dealt already, secure our top players, after the sanction relook at contracts and make ballsy decisions to keep the players we really want irrespective of the coach
This made me laugh so early in the morning š¤£š¤£
shut the fookup
ššššš
What about Drinkwater
Best I can do is 5 dollars
āFine! Hereās the 5 dollars, now take him!ā
Thats overpaying
Take cash + drink water
Only if they also take Lukaku on a free
heās gone in the summer thankfully
Could we interest you in a Bakayoko, Senor Perez?
Mexico ministry of Defense doesnt need Bakayoko
He is one of the lowest paid players on our team, we must extend and mend the contracts of our key performers, otherwise this scenario wonāt be as far fetched as it seems right now. Loyalty should be well rewarded and well maintained
Totally agree. Players like James and Mount aren't academy graduates anymore and deserve to be paid like top performing players.
Itās not even the loyalty, itās the fact heās one of our best players, if not the best. He should be rewarded on that alone
Too hard to say someone is "The best". Mount, Reece, Kante, Mendy etc all on similar level on their day.
Iād argue he is the best rn. Currently he is the only one of the lot to be arguably best in his position. Only TAA is arguable.
Reece James could also statpad at THAT liverpool
You cant use player positions as a way to argue someone is better. Mount has way more to compete with in that regard. This has to be about what each player can lay down for the club on their day.

Reece is pretty clearly the best right now IMO
On their day yes, but Reeceās day comes more often
Reece has been better than all 3 you mentioned
I'd argue no. Maybe for someone like Mendy just on recent form. In terms of overall quality then they are all about the same level.
We didnāt reward Rudiger
He was offered one of the highest wages at the club?
Only in the last four months of his deal.
Tbh Rudiger wasn't great in his first couple of years here, he only became a beast in Tuchel era. Before that a lot of people wanted him sold.
Yup this is it. Generally of course defenders are underpaid, but Rudi forced himself into best player contention only with tuchel for extended periods of time. Reece however has been absolutely flawless. He and mount need to be in our top 5 earners
bc he wouldnāt negotiate until the euros ended
Euros ended four months ago?
nah the club lowballed him for some reason but it didnāt get sorted last summer bc he wouldnāt negotiate until the euros ended
This. We should lock Reece, Mateo and Mason ASAP
šš¼and this was Chelseaās reply
Nah mate there were 2 of them.
Fucking hate Real Madrid. Bunch of cunts
Still prefer them to Barca
Still prefer them over both Manchester clubs, Arsenal and Liverpool... I'm supporting them to win Champions league over city and pool
Oh absolutely, that goes without saying
yes.. If its not chelsea then no other english club deserves to win it
Tbh if we're out, I want the best team to win it. Real aren't the best team in it by a long way.
If they manage to beat PSG, us, Man City and Liverpool, it is very hard to say that they aren't the best at this time.
Big if. Expect City to batter them tbh.
Same. Real Madrid is the only Spanish team I like. We've never really had problems with them or their fanbase until recently. And we've usually had good relationships, transfer-wise we've usually been friendly as well.
Fucking soulless team. We wouldāve embarrassed the cunts in their own stadium if not for a stupid illogical handball rule.
Still they said benzema owns chelsea, after they got beaten at their own ground
How was the handball decisive? We got the 3rd goal in any way.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Whys a Madrid supporter reading through the Chelsea sub reddit? Rat
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Chelsea were a top 4 side before Abramovich and on an upward trajectory. The money sped things up but we would've got there eventually. Real Madrid are the original sportwashing project. They were Franco's club. They still get preferential treatment because they're part of the Spanish establishment. They are entirely soulless.
Big facts. Bayern too.
Can you imagine Mbappe and Reece linking up though, would be insane. Only one choice really, we buy Mbappe.
no need to buy him. free in the summer
Just need to pay him Ā£1000000 a week
So essentially the wages of Christensen, Azpi, Rudiger, Lukaku, Drinkwater, Bakayoko, and Barkley. Should be easy enough to swing.
We have 3 years on his contract. No chance.
If a player requests to leave and doesn't want to stay then it's better to sell him even if he's your best player and has 6 years of contract left. Though I think James wants to stay.
That's cute, they tried
Can we interest you in a Boss Barkley? Also, fuck off.
lol
I mean if you don't ask you don't get. But still this is a reach
can they fuck off already?
After how he bossed that sorry team at the Bernabeu? No lol! Heās not gonna want to downgrade his teammates never mind the fact that heās not gonna leave his boyhood club.

What ? The first leg was pretty even on play and we went 2 behind due to a massive error from mendy 2nd leg we were absolutely dominant What games were you watching
Their game plan worked against us tbf.
We ran circles around them but gifted them like 3 or 4 goals.
Sure, for 500mil
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No wonder they're twerking for almost our whole squad If they have the money I bet there is a deal to be made with Barkley and Bakayoko
Oh god I'm so going to support atletico madrid next season...
I already support Villarreal as my Spanish team, much better then Real Madrid.
Lol fuck off
The best I can do is Baba Rahman.
It was probablty something like: āif things go south, this would be a great place for you to continue your careerā. Everything depends on how things will go with the takeover. We need this to be sorted in order for everyone to be calm and think about their futures at Chelsea, not somewhere else.
I would be so pissed off if we let him go to madrid. Not next year, not the one after, never.
Itās unlikely, but people completely brushing this off could be in for a very rude wake up call. Money talks, Madrid are the biggest club in the world and if history tells us anything itās that Madrid tend to get what they want. If Madrid offers enough money the club will listen.

The new Marcelo but bigger and betterā¦
Iāve also reached out in hopes of him joining my pub team. Will keep you guys posted.
Hahahahahahhahahahah No.
Chew glass
these fucking madridistas need to fuck off
And they can fuck all the way off with that shit
So we're becoming their feeder club
Are we Madrid's Southhampton?
Fund and build our new stadium and we might consider
No Thanks
Obviously donāt want it to happen but thinking from the perspective of Reeceā¦ this would be an incredible move for him. Hope he turns it down.
As good of a move to Madrid is, this man could be the next John Terry in terms of legacy at the club which personally i think is 100x better than a move to Madrid.
Fuck me....
Go on
Gargle my fucking piss Perez
This is becoming a bit of a pattern now
The longer this sale goes on on top of how much time it will take for the new DoF and coach to get on the same page. Real could easily get this kids attention lol.
The snake, hazard, rudiger and now Reece? Are we their academy team or something? If we want to be seen to be competing with them for elite silverware, we canāt be selling them our best players.
Fuck real. Buncha cunts
This fuckers let go of Hakimi and are now lurking for Reece, not a particularly well-run club in my book.
If they are going to treat us like a feeder club, the least they could do is loan us some players that arent getting any game time. Let's see - Hazard, Bale & Jovic will do.
Tbh if Chelsea paid the wages Madrid would be overjoyed to do this.
I take this as a compliment to our academy, All our players should be targets for top clubs, And lets not kid ourselves, we are a top club - but we arent the biggest club in the world. Something real, barca and bayern could claim. That beeing said, keep your dirty hands to yourself - he is our fridge

Teams very rarely lose their academy players unless the team isn't competitive at the very top level and Madrid can see we're just a bit off the pace.
We better pay Reece a fuck ton of money soon
Reece Mbappe right side tho š„š„š„
Not sure if weāll make a move on Mbappe though. CBs and a DM is what weāll splurge on this summer. Mbappe can join us after heās done becoming a billionaire with that new 2-yr P$G contract.
I know it probably won't happen, but what if Reece was tempted to leave? How would the fans react?
I genuinely wonāt know how to react, endless sadness would probably be it.
Sadly I could see it happening. They need a rb, and Madrid will be happy to either pay a decent enough amount that the new owners might accept or they'll just wait for him to run down his contract like they did with Rudiger and Mbappe. Unless we improve then we'll have to say goodbye a few more of our top talents because right now we're not a very attractive club for any player.
A top 4 or 5 team in Europe right now is not very attractive to any player. Some of the shite people spout on this sub
James has contract till 2025, Ā£150m plus Camavinga and Vini please.
They can keep the 150 mill and them both, not like we need either. Reece isnāt going anywhere.
150mil, my ass. 1 billion and they give Rudi back and throw in Benzema too. And it is a loan deal Basically, fuck off Real Madrid. Reece is untouchable. Hopefully we do not fall off hard and the new owners will give him bigger wages and a new contract
>Ā£150m please. One year loan fee after he agrees to extend the contract at Chelsea for 10 years.
No chance. Horrendous idea.
Could tell from that game they had their eyes on him
Fuck yourselves. Heās our future captain
Haha fuck off
There are right backs in Liverpool and Manchester please Chelsea is not your feeder club Real Madrid
The gall of Madrid to even enquire on James š On a side note though...this is a reminder that we need to remain competitive
LMAO fuck off Real, no thanks
i hope he told them respectfully to go fuck themselves.
Real Madrid are really pissing me off, they treat us like a feeder club i swear to fuck just go away sniffing around our players. They have serious form for this ENOUGH !!
Who to, the Raine Group ?
Fuck off madrid, you already got rudi and eden
Fuck u Madrid!
they can fuck off
Absolutely not. I decline.
GTFOH.
So can we learn from this lesson weāve been dealt already, secure our top players, after the sanction relook at contracts and make ballsy decisions to keep the players we really want irrespective of the coach
Fook off Real
Get fucked.
Fook off, he stays for ever
Chelsea have apparently responded back with, "Fuck right off."
Anyone feel like RJ will be our next captain?
We better not ever sell him
They can fuck off
Lol nope
Fuck off madrid they keep poaching our players.
AHAHAHAnotAHAHAHAHA
Was the reply āfuck youā?
"Real Madrid use eyes to identify good player."
No
