Agreed, I'm pro-Ratcliffe bid. American investment in European football pretty much lead us to the non-relegation super league and people wanting massive profits out of "franchises"

I think Amapadu is a great shout for a backup with potential to kick on. The Leipzig loan was terrible, they should never have loaned him to a team that didn't need him and recalled him after his back injury and sent him elsewhere. Sheffield United 2020/21 were a disaster, but he's apparently been playing really well at Venezia. https://totalfootballanalysis.com/article/ethan-ampadu-2021-22-the-welshmans-resurgence-in-italy

Can't be any worse than Malang Sarr.

He does look like Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy. Slightly unsure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Praying this gets Arteta a contract extension.

Understand that Rudiger and Kovacic are injured and a bit of rotation is necessary but Lukaku starting? Sarr over Trev? This was lost the moment the team sheet was announced.

Good riddance. He's never had any confidence. Prone to blunders and moments of pure incompetence. Complete passenger in this team. Enjoy La Liga Andreas. Need an overhaul of the backline.

Possibly the worst impulse purchase since Kepa. Even though he's had his moments. Wish it could turn around for him and he could bang 20 next year but I just can't see it. Broja coming back seems lovely. Would really love a lock-picking Fabregas centre mid too.

Honestly can't see him going anywhere any time soon, or really ever. Seems to absolutely love the club. He was amazing last night. Also, I loved looking at the very first post on this thread and then jumping to the last page. What a player.

Don't know why I never tried to join this before. Lifelong Chelsea fan, first game attended was Luton at the Bridge in 91 for my tenth birthday. Moved to New York in 2000 and just relocated back here late last year. Think thats about all the news for now but just wanted to say thanks for having me!
