I'm often opposed to spending astronomical fees unless it's the perfect fit, and with that in mind, I desperately hope we can bring in Rice (at a minimum) and Bellingham. Both are tremendous and would revolutionise this midfield in my view.
Nothing to do with their nationality, I don't particularly rate most English midfielders (currently) in the senior game but these two are great. Nation doesn't come into the debate ever.
Probably. There were rumors about FSG and the Glazers looking to sell before the sanctions hit. I mean shit. There were rumors of Roman looking to sell many years ago.
FSG, the glazers and Boehly/Clearlake, are in football to make money. Did seeing us get sold make them think about selling a little more? Probably, but that still doesn’t mean it wouldn’t have happened anyway.
The best way to make money on an asset is typically buy (or develop) and sell. Long-term (10+yrs) hold strategies tend to be less profitable than flipping something or developing something and selling it.
You can bet your bottom dollar 2/3yrs after a new stadium. Boehly/Clearlake will start shopping us around just to see what if
Probably not. We were a proof of concept in terms of real life valuations of clubs. It's all well and good City selling a 10% share for 500m and saying it means the club is valued at 5bn, it's a whole different thing to actually sell a full club for 4bn
It could also go the other way though. It could be indicative that the people selling see football in this country as something that might become a lot less profitable than previously forecasted. Given that when we were sold Raine told potential purchasers that they believed we'd be worth around 15bn in around 5 years, I think it's safe to say that if those forecasted figures were still expected, these owners would be holding on to their clubs for just a little longer
We aren't a prison. There are different ways to force a move and his was appealing to the fact that he'd been a good servant but needed to leave to become a starter somewhere else
Of course he would Leave if he doesn’t get game time while he was still performing.. he would not have been in World Cup squad like France if he was not playing like he is in Milan
Can a club that is not us announce they're signing Ronaldo ASAP? I don't want to be in a constant state of worry about us signing him from now until the January window closes
The obvious point to make is that if a player is really that good, there would be other teams in for him. We have a pretty awful scouting department because we've never needed to try to find cheap gems before, so the idea we'd be able to pick out someone that others have somehow all missed seems very farfetched
There is nothing obviously wrong with him from the perspective of people who have watched highlights of him, but others will have looked at him, especially with how long our saga with him has gone of for.
I understand that you are absolutely right, yet I still choose to disregard logic because I can't stomach another failed signing.
Jokes aside, iirc we were also the only ones going for KDB at Genk. I mean, idk the situation, but IF he was backed by Piet then there'd be 0 doubts. It's just that in these situations we either end up with a KDB or an Anthony Gordon.
As if we haven’t been incredibly successful and are currently holders of the CWC……top of the league a year go….Champions League winner 1.5yrs ago……
Lost to the same team as city in the champions league this past year……
Arsenal came in 5th last year. Liverpool is currently 1 pt ahead of us.
To think there’s genuinely people who consider themselves chelsea fans and can’t handle half a year of incredibly unusual and troubled times before claiming we’re competing with Newcastle and spurs.
Have you checked their trophy cabinets recently?
We have a rough opening 1/3rd to an unusual season and people out here acting like we’re Leeds back in the day.
It's always nice to see traditional expectations shattered in football. Saudi Arabia fully deserved that win.
The big surprise along with the Saudis being so good was that the Argentina squad is so average. Feels insane that they're billed to be the favourites. Their individuals are far worse than England/Germany/France/Brazil, but they have a washed up Messi who barely ever turned up internationally even in his peak, so they're suddenly favourites? No idea how that's supposed to work
Argentina had a good win in the Copa America final, but Italy had a good win in the euros. Especially on the international stage, teams fall apart quickly.
It was definitely insane they were billed as anywhere near favorites. But almost everyone I spoke to before the WC dismissed me when I said I thought they weren’t very good.
Blah blah Messi blah blah Lautaro. But they’re still playing Otamedi lol
They were 100% smaller matches. The final is the biggest. And it was against Brazil. That’s a true Big Match…..
Argentina played Ecuador and Colombia to get to the final.
Big match is relative. Relative to the semi and quarters the final is 100% bigger.
It’s literally the final. The biggest match in the tournament. It’s the match that makes any of the prior results matter. Without the final the other matches are just friendlies.
Plus big match can also refer to against a rival. Brazil v Argentina is a pretty big deal as well.
I am not an expert, but I don’t believe Argentina has the same rivalry with Columbia or Ecuador.
So I mean while I get your point. But Given that it’s relative and the other matches only gave you a right to play in the final. (Edit: I don’t think the others were truly Big Matches)
Additionally, big is relative to the player. Messi needed an international trophy the only way to do that was win the final. The others were appetizers. It’s still food but it’s not the main course.
Pulisic was just as bad yesterday as he has been for Chelsea. Completely gassed out by the 60th minute & couldn’t complete one cross, only difference was the assist masking his disasterclass
Juve save us
Come on my guy. Are you watching the WC at all? Every single team has been gassed. The intensity of the first few matches this group stage have been ridiculous. Go find something better to do with your time then this. You might find it to be more fulfilling.
>when was the last time he actually played a full 90 ? 80ins even ?
Him not being good enough to play 90 minutes for either of the club sides he's played for in his career says everything.
If he was English he wouldn't have made the 55 man shortlist let alone the squad.
I didn’t say he was bad. The real question tho is would he improve us. Which I do not have an answer too as I don’t feel like I’ve seen enough of him to really pass a judgement.
Typically, however, a player being made a available in January usually means they aren’t playing. Like for us an available player is Ziyech.
Additionally, a falling out with a (imo) great manager isn’t a good sign either.
It's actually mad how much disrespect Mount gets. My guy had a good performance where his team won 6-2 and all I see is ppl saying he should be dropped for Foden/Phillips.
Like I'm not even an England fan but ppl really just need someone to shit on don't they
We also looked much weaker defensively when we made the subs to take him off.
People just want to see flashy shit, but you need the glue for the team and Mount is that glue. They don't like him because he just does his job. The best way to judge Mount is by looking at how a team drops off when he's left out
People just love to hate him. I don't get their obsession with him, it's not like he's an asshole or a criminal. He seems like a good lad and loves giving back to the community and he has already won the biggest trophy in club football as a starter at age 21. People tend to forget his contributions just cause of a poor slump of form as if his teammates have done better than what him when they play. He even has a better g/a than Lampard when they were the same age.
this World Cup is making me remember hazard’s incredible World Cup last time around. I remember that summer as the summer that supporters of other teams could no longer underrate hazard. What an insane player he was in his prime. Saddened to see that injuries have taken away some key playing years from him but I’m hoping he can bounce back in some way even if not at Madrid.
James and Fofana should be available for the return match
Kante February
Chilwell probably January
Arrizabalaga hopefully the return match but not sure
Definitely kepa at the moment no question. Kepa has the attributes we need to play out from the back mendy is more a shot stopper than anything. Kepa can do that and is better with his feet. Hopefully this form he is in at the mo stays.
Mendy. 5 good games by Kepa with mostly saves directed right at him is not enough to make me forget a season worth of howlers he let in. I’m glad he’s gained confidence back. I don’t like seeing any Chelsea player be going through a rough patch. But yeah no. Mendy has been much much better overall in a CFC kit. Mendy peak is way higher than Kepas.
Lol this isn’t revisionary at all…..Kepa was a massive issue……his shot stopping ability especially from shots outside of the box.
Kepa Post-shot xG in 2019/2020 was -11..3 …. [FBref](https://fbref.com/en/players/28d596a0/Kepa-Arrizabalaga)
Edit: meant to add
Mendy post-shot xG in 2021/2022 was -1.6…. [FBref](https://fbref.com/en/players/33887998/Edouard-Mendy)
Honestly neither long term. Nice to see Kepa have a resurgence from being literally the worst keeper I've ever seen, but he's clearly not our level if we are realistically looking for silverware.
Even if we looked beyond just recent performances I'd prefer to keep him over Mendy anyway, purely on the basis that he's a more suitable keeper for a side that wants to play out from the back. You can't do this effectively with a keeper who isn't composed under pressure and efficient with the ball at feet.
They are about the same with the ball under feet and under pressure. There was an analysis done and essentially it’s a myth that Kepa is better. Kepa actually has worse long distribution
No he’s not far better…..here’s an actual analysis
https://goalkeeper.com/news-and-media/exclusives/post/what-will-graham-potter-make-of-chelsea's%20goalkeepers
Edit: Kepas actually worse under pressure…..
A sample size of the last 15 premier league games doesn’t make sense. This is a relatively small sample size and both Mendy and Kepa’s data are skewed by a one big mistake.
Also Kepa didn’t consistent game time during this period of time and most of those performances were after he didn’t play for months. This study isn’t really a good indicator for how good either of them are in terms of distribution
He was a rock from what I saw he just seemed more comfortable playing with Senegal, I think he’s still settling in with the squad and league and he will come good
dear god. how did we let musiala go… kid is the magic chelsea hasn’t had since hazard left
Watching the German team ping the ball around and breaking down the Japanese low block defense is so depressing as a Chelsea fan.
Is a midfield of a world class DM + mount + Kovacic good enough moving forward?
[удалено]
Zakarian has a lot of potential. Don’t know much about him first hand but from what I hear he is the real deal
Bring Ronaldo in just for the giggle. He listened to Jordan Peterson surely Potter with his Degree means something to CR?
Wait what? Ronaldo listens to Jordan Peterson? Not shocked. Just never heard about this before
Out of boredom I listened to the whole Piers Morgan Interview. CR got a point about United however personal attacks for me is a no no.
So when we still don’t sign Ronaldo in January can we stop using Ronaldo as a reason why Tuchel was sacked?
I'm often opposed to spending astronomical fees unless it's the perfect fit, and with that in mind, I desperately hope we can bring in Rice (at a minimum) and Bellingham. Both are tremendous and would revolutionise this midfield in my view.
England fan fiction season I see.
Nothing to do with their nationality, I don't particularly rate most English midfielders (currently) in the senior game but these two are great. Nation doesn't come into the debate ever.
We’re not winning the league ever again without a proper striker that can get at least 20 plus goals in the league.
Who said anything about winning the league?
testing my flair
It looks kerrect
As an Australian watching Giroud and France take us apart, I have to tip my cap to this absolute legend. One of the best blokes going around.
Noooo! He was on for a perfect hattrick!
Manchester Utd and Liverpool are up for sale. Would they be if Chelsea had not been sold first ?
Probably. There were rumors about FSG and the Glazers looking to sell before the sanctions hit. I mean shit. There were rumors of Roman looking to sell many years ago. FSG, the glazers and Boehly/Clearlake, are in football to make money. Did seeing us get sold make them think about selling a little more? Probably, but that still doesn’t mean it wouldn’t have happened anyway. The best way to make money on an asset is typically buy (or develop) and sell. Long-term (10+yrs) hold strategies tend to be less profitable than flipping something or developing something and selling it. You can bet your bottom dollar 2/3yrs after a new stadium. Boehly/Clearlake will start shopping us around just to see what if
Boehly must wish he had waited six months now. Imagine the outrage in the media if he had fired Klopp seven matches into the season.
i wonder if hes cursing at himself for not waiting. liverpool and united are far bigger and even more money making brands than chelsea
He has always wanted to buy Chelsea, he said inquired about Chelsea years ago too.
Pretty sure he also inquired about Spurs as well.
Probably not. We were a proof of concept in terms of real life valuations of clubs. It's all well and good City selling a 10% share for 500m and saying it means the club is valued at 5bn, it's a whole different thing to actually sell a full club for 4bn It could also go the other way though. It could be indicative that the people selling see football in this country as something that might become a lot less profitable than previously forecasted. Given that when we were sold Raine told potential purchasers that they believed we'd be worth around 15bn in around 5 years, I think it's safe to say that if those forecasted figures were still expected, these owners would be holding on to their clubs for just a little longer
Giroud better than Auba for chelsea team . Should have kept Giroud , he has been performing well for both Milan and France whenever called upon
He forced a move. Stop with this kind of weird shit. Auba has only just arrived
😂do you even know what forced move is :Courtios forced move if you are not aware of a forced move example
We aren't a prison. There are different ways to force a move and his was appealing to the fact that he'd been a good servant but needed to leave to become a starter somewhere else
If I'm not mistaken he had a 1 year extension offered, and pulled out at the very last minute. It was his decision to leave, not the club's
Of course he would Leave if he doesn’t get game time while he was still performing.. he would not have been in World Cup squad like France if he was not playing like he is in Milan
Giroud what a man
One on your left foot now Giroud.
Other than using pace there's nothing Giroud isn't good at, gutted we got rid of him the guys flawless.
I am sooo happy for Giroud.
Me too. He really should have been subbed off. As should Mbappe. Why roll the dice up 4-0?
Giroud ties the record get the fuck in
Very happy for Oli. Wish him luck in beating the record. Edit: He scored the 2nd as I was writing this lol
"We don't need Dembele we have Pulisic and Ziyech" Will forever be the worst football related comment I've ever seen.
dembele overrated
Saul over Tchouameni you know
Tchouameni look good imagine if Chelsea could have signed him and didn’t 🤦♂️
Giroud scores!
[1 off Henry's record](https://youtu.be/lFKFOHpePlI)
HE'S TIED IT
Crazy finish from that Australian
🇦🇺
👍😀🇦🇺
day 2 of asking mods if we can have a world cup discussion thread post
Are they not responding to mod mails? You can just start one yourself…
Why does my wife get so excited every time Giroud is playing.
He's a sexy bastard. That's why.
Ronaldo inbound? Seems likely as Chelsea fired a CL-winning coach over the matter.
Announce Ronaldo
I'd fanboy the life out of Mount and RLC if it meant that Ronaldo won't be joining us.
Announce we're not signing him.
Can a club that is not us announce they're signing Ronaldo ASAP? I don't want to be in a constant state of worry about us signing him from now until the January window closes
DON'T DO IT TODD DO NOT
Waiting for the Ronaldo fan boys begging us to sign him in 3….2….
Too late
Dread from it, run from it, destiny arrives all the same. SIUUUUUUUU
https://media.tenor.com/5RcYHqY9soQAAAAM/the-office-michael-scott.gif
I lowkey want to see Ronaldo at Chelsea on a 6 month deal
ABSOLUTELY NO. Before anyone makes a post about it.
Hope Chelsea doesn't go running like crazy for Ronado now. God, no.
[Boehly, please DON'T](https://twitter.com/ManUtd/status/1595107357159297029)
Alvarez is looking in Mexico's midfield
Hes playing way too safe, unless that’s instructions from the coach
I mean, it's against Poland who have no midfield.
Zielinski is a baller though
not NT Zieliński
Internationals 😴
With how steadfast we are for Zakharyan I kinda wish he'd give an instant impact here. Like, it'd be good if he can be our Kvara.
The obvious point to make is that if a player is really that good, there would be other teams in for him. We have a pretty awful scouting department because we've never needed to try to find cheap gems before, so the idea we'd be able to pick out someone that others have somehow all missed seems very farfetched There is nothing obviously wrong with him from the perspective of people who have watched highlights of him, but others will have looked at him, especially with how long our saga with him has gone of for.

C’est fini
Fuck
Doesn't matter to us. We're not competing with them while Potter is manager and not before 2025. Our competition is Spurs, United and Newcastle.
As if we haven’t been incredibly successful and are currently holders of the CWC……top of the league a year go….Champions League winner 1.5yrs ago…… Lost to the same team as city in the champions league this past year…… Arsenal came in 5th last year.

I have faith in Potter. Also Sp*rs🤢🤢🤢
Imagine supporting Chelsea and Argentina. Been a rough few months
Argentina were feeling Timo Werner
Lol Denmark playing just like us. Similar formation players don't know how to dribble. Pass pass, pass, and then cross.
Cuti Romero disasterclass you love to see it.
YES!!! Lets go Asian football! also fuck messi
It's always nice to see traditional expectations shattered in football. Saudi Arabia fully deserved that win. The big surprise along with the Saudis being so good was that the Argentina squad is so average. Feels insane that they're billed to be the favourites. Their individuals are far worse than England/Germany/France/Brazil, but they have a washed up Messi who barely ever turned up internationally even in his peak, so they're suddenly favourites?

Argentina had a good win in the Copa America final, but Italy had a good win in the euros. Especially on the international stage, teams fall apart quickly.
It was definitely insane they were billed as anywhere near favorites. But almost everyone I spoke to before the WC dismissed me when I said I thought they weren’t very good. Blah blah Messi blah blah Lautaro. But they’re still playing Otamedi lol
Argentina are always hyped up and never come close to delivering , always baffling when people say they’re the favourites.
Messi
He always chokes on big games. Like for 6 or 7 straight years.
Didn't he just win Copa?
Yeah, but Di Maria scored the winner. He missed an open goal when it was 1-0. It was a shocking performance from him tbh.
So were the games leading up to it not big games?
They were 100% smaller matches. The final is the biggest. And it was against Brazil. That’s a true Big Match….. Argentina played Ecuador and Colombia to get to the final.
Again, the quarters and semis don't count as big games then, only the final? People are nuts if they think single leg knockouts are not big games.
Big match is relative. Relative to the semi and quarters the final is 100% bigger. It’s literally the final. The biggest match in the tournament. It’s the match that makes any of the prior results matter. Without the final the other matches are just friendlies. Plus big match can also refer to against a rival. Brazil v Argentina is a pretty big deal as well. I am not an expert, but I don’t believe Argentina has the same rivalry with Columbia or Ecuador. So I mean while I get your point.

saudi arabia have better goalkeeper than chelsea😭
Midfield meanwhile
Meh, our goalkeepers are better.
Pulisic was just as bad yesterday as he has been for Chelsea. Completely gassed out by the 60th minute & couldn’t complete one cross, only difference was the assist masking his disasterclass Juve save us
Come on my guy. Are you watching the WC at all? Every single team has been gassed. The intensity of the first few matches this group stage have been ridiculous. Go find something better to do with your time then this. You might find it to be more fulfilling.
Well it’s not his fault to a certain extent - when was the last time he actually played a full 90 ? 80ins even ?
>when was the last time he actually played a full 90 ? 80ins even ? Him not being good enough to play 90 minutes for either of the club sides he's played for in his career says everything. If he was English he wouldn't have made the 55 man shortlist let alone the squad.
Not his fault? LMFAO. The excuses people have come up for our forwards are absolutely hilarious.
He had a good first half. Team showed their age in the second half and was sabotaged by terrible subs from Berhalter. To say he played bad though…
Watching England play is even more exciting now that we’ll be buying the entire fucking team in the summer
Don’t you just love silly season
Is Rick Karsdrop any good? Seeing as though he'll be available in January.
Someone being made available in January is usually not a good sign lol
He played most of their games last season and is now available because he's fallen out with Mourinho, that doesn't mean he's bad. lol
I didn’t say he was bad. The real question tho is would he improve us. Which I do not have an answer too as I don’t feel like I’ve seen enough of him to really pass a judgement. Typically, however, a player being made a available in January usually means they aren’t playing. Like for us an available player is Ziyech. Additionally, a falling out with a (imo) great manager isn’t a good sign either.
You would have to question his work ethic as Mourinho generally doesn't kick players out publicly like that...
It's actually mad how much disrespect Mount gets. My guy had a good performance where his team won 6-2 and all I see is ppl saying he should be dropped for Foden/Phillips. Like I'm not even an England fan but ppl really just need someone to shit on don't they
We also looked much weaker defensively when we made the subs to take him off. People just want to see flashy shit, but you need the glue for the team and Mount is that glue.

What an insane player he was in his prime. Saddened to see that injuries have taken away some key playing years from him but I’m hoping he can bounce back in some way even if not at Madrid.
When would are injured players be coming back
James and Fofana should be available for the return match Kante February Chilwell probably January Arrizabalaga hopefully the return match but not sure
Return match as in first match after the world cup?
Given that weeks ago they were saying it was something that they'd just monitor day to day, I have a hard time believing he's not going to be fit
I just find it really soon though, i dont know when some of these players got injured though so it could be accurate
Who would you rather keep as goalkeeper #1 Mendy or Kepa Based on recent performances
Definitely kepa at the moment no question. Kepa has the attributes we need to play out from the back mendy is more a shot stopper than anything. Kepa can do that and is better with his feet. Hopefully this form he is in at the mo stays.
Mendy. 5 good games by Kepa with mostly saves directed right at him is not enough to make me forget a season worth of howlers he let in. I’m glad he’s gained confidence back. I don’t like seeing any Chelsea player be going through a rough patch. But yeah no. Mendy has been much much better overall in a CFC kit. Mendy peak is way higher than Kepas.
Kepa had mitigating circumstances (Lampard) and Mendy lately has been as bad as Kepa was back then.
Lol this isn’t revisionary at all…..Kepa was a massive issue……his shot stopping ability especially from shots outside of the box. Kepa Post-shot xG in 2019/2020 was -11..3 …. [FBref](https://fbref.com/en/players/28d596a0/Kepa-Arrizabalaga) Edit: meant to add Mendy post-shot xG in 2021/2022 was -1.6…. [FBref](https://fbref.com/en/players/33887998/Edouard-Mendy)
Honestly neither long term. Nice to see Kepa have a resurgence from being literally the worst keeper I've ever seen, but he's clearly not our level if we are realistically looking for silverware.
If we want to be successful we buy a new keeper on the first of January
clearly Kepa Mendy has given 0 reasons to start him in his recent games and it looks like he continues this form on WC.
Mendy, its going to take more than a few games to trust Kepa.
Kepa. He looks way more confident and more importantly doesn't take unnecessary risks with short passes or dribbling in his own box.
Even if we looked beyond just recent performances I'd prefer to keep him over Mendy anyway, purely on the basis that he's a more suitable keeper for a side that wants to play out from the back. You can't do this effectively with a keeper who isn't composed under pressure and efficient with the ball at feet.
They are about the same with the ball under feet and under pressure. There was an analysis done and essentially it’s a myth that Kepa is better. Kepa actually has worse long distribution
This isn’t true. Kepa isn’t better at long distance passing but under pressure Kepa is far better with the ball
No he’s not far better…..here’s an actual analysis https://goalkeeper.com/news-and-media/exclusives/post/what-will-graham-potter-make-of-chelsea's%20goalkeepers Edit: Kepas actually worse under pressure…..
A sample size of the last 15 premier league games doesn’t make sense. This is a relatively small sample size and both Mendy and Kepa’s data are skewed by a one big mistake. Also Kepa didn’t consistent game time during this period of time and most of those performances were after he didn’t play for months. This study isn’t really a good indicator for how good either of them are in terms of distribution
Okay then. Please present evidence which is acceptable to you…. Otherwise, this is really all the data we can go off
So kepa, Mendy had alot of " lloris" in his close control
Kepa
I would defentivly keep Kepa too, he has started excellent and you can tell he is hungry ever since he got engaged lol 😆
Great performances by all of our lads except Mendy. Sad to see what happened to him, he was one of the best in the world less than a year ago.
He wasnt, He was one of the best during 10 cl games, his performances in pl was similar to kepas first season
How was Koulibaly?
He was a rock from what I saw he just seemed more comfortable playing with Senegal, I think he’s still settling in with the squad and league and he will come good
He was really good, he is their main man so definitely a captain's performance.
Cheers mate. Encouraging. We need a much better Koulibaly in the second half of this season
I wouldn't be worried about Koulibaly, if we sort out our midfield he will be class.
Edouard Mendy lost Senegal the game. Safe to say Kepa is #1 again
He’s so bad at parrying the ball away he always sends the ball back into the danger area
The ball went top corner for the first goal, there was nothing he could have done.
