vintagelaureate Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 Shocked about the rumours about Henderson and the contract impasse with FSG but it doesn't surprise me. A lead person in the players rebelling against the Super League - rightly so - it'll be interesting to see how it plays out. Still not as shocking as the Everton news around Gylfi Siggurdson though!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea, I thought it was a Twitter rumour over the weekend until the news about an arrest last night. Regardless, although innocent until proven otherwise, it is going to tarnish his name now. He has definitely been suspended by Everton though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagelaureate Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Liverpool playing two friendlies on successive days at Anfield to a 75% crowd. I don't get what difference 75% makes to a 100% though in all honesty. On the transfer front, United potentially bringing in Varane and Sancho is good business!

CG31 Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Yh Gylfi stuff is awful, being a Reading fan it’s a bit tough for us to as we regard him so highly Hes also got his name on our anniversary shirt as he’s part of the Hall of Fame, not sure how that will play out if he’s found guilty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah although they are solid enough signings as squad players that cost almost nothing combined, they don’t really make much sense following the very divisive appointment of Rafa. They really seem to be pissing off the fans from every angle at the moment. Edited July 21, 2021 by st dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 Its probably the new stadium. Arsenal and Spurs went through something similar though I guess its amplified by covid. Saying that yes after last summer this year feels like being constantly kicked in the balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For every Alonso (or Torres etc.), there was a Josemi, Voronin and Degan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say I really like the bloke and even tho I think you could do much better, he's proved a lot of people wrong and seems to be building a really well balanced side.

Kalopsia Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 As a Chelsea fan I'm disappointed with the departures of Guehi, Bate and other young players this summer. I don't blame them one bit but I felt that they could have really strong futures for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the rest of the squad - Marcelo, Modric, Benzema, Kroos, Hazard all over 30. Some well over. Theyve a few good young players but nothing approcahing a Real Madrid squad. 3 minutes ago, Dan R said: Last year on his contract and didn't want to renew.

But Cobham is one of the best academies on the planet and ultimately at 18/19 these fellas have got to decide whether they want to take the risk of going into the loan system and hoping it works out (Mount, James) or go and find an easier route into first team PL footy with a smaller club. I got myself a ticket for the first game of the season. Gonna be weird if Guehi is starting for palace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it, the only reason Mount, Tammy, Reece, Tomori etc got chances is because of the transfer ban and Lamps / Morris coming back in. The academy players aren't going to come through in that same way again. Maybe one or two cases but yeah. I don't know why we let Guehi and Tomori go but they obviously want to play.

Yea he's supposed to be brilliant, also going to Brighton to compete directly with Lamptey is a bit odd? I can completely understand the players wanting to move on to get gametime and make it elsewhere, I just get frustrated when we sell Tomori and Guehi only to buy Kounde. 3 hours ago, jyoung said: Let's face it, the only reason Mount, Tammy, Reece, Tomori etc got chances is because of the transfer ban and Lamps / Morris coming back in.

rock the clock Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Haven't seen much of Kounde, from what I've read he seems like a good fit for the right centre back in Tuchel's back 3 but could easily struggle in the prem with his size. Tbh Chelsea really shouldn't be signing players catered to specific roles in systems at this point because it'll likely all be turned on its head with a new coach this time next year.
