BUT HE SPENT HIS OWN MONEY!!!!!
Get a f**king grip.

He really is the worst kind of c**t.

Heath Ledger looks like Jack Nicholson 🤔

Footballers really are the dumbest f**ks on the planet, aren't they?

You've actually touched on something I've been recommending since last summer. I think the captain should be Colwill.
James leads by example, whereas Colwill is much more vocal and an organizer in defence. As you've touched on, he will always be available too (knock on wood). It doesn't really matter at the end of the day so long as one of them is captain and the other vice.
The club will make Caicedo vice with Enzo gone.

Luckily Alonso still has an aura of a winner at the moment that could be a pull for top players with the Chelsea name and location still having a slither of attraction. A hell of a lot better than if briefcase was still in charge. That would have been a pretty dire situation which sadly could even be a future predicament if it doesn't work out with Alonso.
We're at a tipping point that could start the Spursification of Chelsea. Alonso has to work there's no alternative and we need to back him to the hilt.
If he wants Rogers we need to go all out to get him, we don't have time to wait for teenage wannabe's to develop or buying the next market opportunity (Leao).

Eghbali needs to want Rogers too.
That is essentially how we got both Enzo and Caicedo considering the directors couldn't do their job. As shown in the whole Gittens debacle last summer, the directors are terrible negotiators.

That' the whole essence of 'rumours', isn't it? And that's why this thread is called 'Random rumours'

Delap to Newcastle and we'll take Woltemade, ST sorted then

his analytical numbers obviously

In short, he tried to address one of RM's big problems post-Toni Kroos: a largely AWOL midfield. He tried to introduce tactics. The super egos in the dressing room didn't appreciate being guided in how to play. The super egos won out. Going to be interesting to see how Mourinho deals with the issue.

As Dermot says he tried to get them to play as a team with an actual game plan other than give it the attackers who will hopefully do something, but not bother to get back and defend anything. He expected them all to run and at the very least match the opposition for effort, players like Vinicius decided they didnt like that idea. Its a toxic as f**k dressing room, probably the worst in the top leagues as seen by them scrapping a few weeks back.

Good enough for Carlo and the Brazil national team, not good enough in the opinion of some bloke on a message board. okay. Got it.
No better than Jackson. Seriously? Jackson of the many overhead goals. JowPedro is a footballer and Jackson by comparison is a big fast athlete, who is dubious at reading the game (of football).

his analytical numbers obviously

Some reports suggesting Alonso wants to bring in Gonzalo Garcia from Real Madrid. Goal contribution every 130 minutes in the limited time he had at Real last season.
Anyone actually watch him last season not including the Club World Cup?
Jackson we've all had enough of, Delap is an abomination, Guiu still very raw, and Emegha looks worse than Jackson.

I remember we were all discussing this last summer on how even on a data metric perspective, there was nothing positive about Garnacho. Maresca's football was also dependent on wingers being good 1 vs 1 given they are always isolated wide, and Garnacho's take on ability was among the worst in the league. Yet the directors prioritized signing Garnacho (for months) above players that could actually improve the team. They also signed Pedro Neto after failing to get Olise. Two players who are complete polar opposites ability wise.
This just goes with @SydneyChelsea point that their whole data philosophy is a sham. It's a player trading pyramid scheme.
This is why appointing Alonso was always going to be half the battle until we see something different.

Realistically he ends up going on loan for a few years now.

Mudryk, because no one fed him.

Gittens will have a great season imho. He will be like a brand new signing. The surprise of the season.

Tosin is Cole Palmer's best mate and therefore i would keep him in the squad to keep Palmer happy. simple as that innit. Palmer shows up everyday for training and his mate is there and he feels good.

There can be no excuse for incompetence. Fulham must need their heads examined if they are considering this bloke. There is no reason why he should be involved with a Premier league club. He knows that too. If he goes again then its on him, he is a pretender, bluffer, at best.
Poor old Liam..
Id rather be unhappy with a lot of money than be unhappy with no money and im sure he would too. i wont lose any sleep over this fella. He actually wasted several months of Chelsea's season.

Ive still not forgiven the club for rejecting Allison due to his expense then spend more on bloody Kepa.

Hes a young lad who seems to be surrounded by wrong uns, getting him back over here and away from them would help his career get back on track so I hope we do that rather than just bin a youngster.

Yes, being around Fofana, Gusto, Neto, Garnacho, Jackson etc. will certainly be a good influence on the lad.
