My dog is trying to bury her bone in the tiled floor. A metaphor.

I think I'll be putting in a transfer request myself if this keeps up!!!🙄

We bought him for more than we sold Gallagher for, and we're stuck with him for seven years. We know these two players; we know that Conor is brilliant at everything and will bleed for the club, and we know that Félix is lazy and inept.
I really don't know what to say. Just when you think BlueCo have hit the nadir of incompetence, they find unimaginable ways to surprise you. BlueCo are a f**king farce.

Hey Chelsea fans,
I'm an Atlético de Madrid supporter who has a soft spot for Chelsea. Apologies if my English isn't great.
I know you've already seen Joao in action before, but I wanted to give you a bit of insight into why he didn't work out at our club and why we were really eager for him to leave.
First and foremost: Both Atlético and Chelsea are teams, with fans who value effort combined with skill. We've always been a bit short on the skill side, but you guys usually manage to blend both qualities well.
Here, we used to call Joao "The Hiker" because Simeone always asked him to take his game up a notch and work selflessly for the team. This is something any coach expects in modern football. But Joao never wanted to step up, and seeing him just walking around on the pitch instead of pressing or letting a player slip by because he didn’t want to run earned him that nickname.
Whichever side he plays on is going to be a defensive weak spot. Cucurella is a fighter, but he's going to struggle even more than when covering Mudrik.
Joao's attitude has been pretty low, especially when he went on loan to Barcelona and celebrated scoring against us by kissing their badge. That was a really unprofessional slap in the face.
Pochettino, Potter, Xavi, Simeone, Roberto Martinez, Fernando Santos... they all ended up benching him, and there was never any self-reflection from Joao.
He’s got a huge ego. He never thinks anything is his fault. He wanted to play for Barcelona because he believed their style was perfect for him, where he wouldn’t have to run much. But he was wrong because Xavi's and Guardiola’s teams demand a lot of effort from their forwards in pressing.
If Joao were scoring 25 goals and getting 15 assists per season, maybe you could excuse him from pressing and working hard for the team. But he misses a lot of chances, and his numbers aren't any better than, say, one of our backup players like Ángel Correa.
We’re definitely happy he's gone, and the sale price was great. I love Gallagher, always thought he’d be perfect for our team, so I’m really bummed he’s leaving Chelsea, especially like this.
If you’ve got any questions, I’d be happy to answer them. I might ask you some about Conor if that’s okay.
Cheers!

We gave Athletico the hardest working player in football and we signed the laziest player in football.
