We’re also obsessed with signing midgets for the PREMIER LEAGUE too, Barco and now linked with Yasin Ayari ffs. Might as well call it a day and just have a team of garden gnomes.

Tell Dennis Wise about it. Not all midgets are lightweights. That said, I agree, not a big fan of . . . short people.

N'Golo Kante.

It's not the size of the player, it's the size of the fight in the player. Wisey had a double portion.

We’re part of a Chelsea forum, so it’s probably wise (excuse the pun) to assume we all know the exceptions. Modern day Chelsea are outmuscled, outgunned, outrunned and there is now a huge emphasis on set-pieces in the league, and aside from Tosin, we’re lacking. Next to Arsenal, we look like year 7’s up against year 11’s. Unless, the player is GENERATIONAL, which this lad is not, I’d like to see more height personally.

Past 3 years we've been embarrassingly bullied by Arsenal. This used to be the other way around.

It's not a reflection of his potential or actual ability, but in fairness he has been restricted to being a defensive player thanks to the various idiots we've had in the coaches' box and upstairs, and their accomodations for virtually every other player on the park.

I agree and disagree, we have seen plenty of examples of his passing ability in games, and his running with the ball. he is much more than a simple DM as stated, but he has been restricted on the times hes been allowed to show this, as you say.

Either way we havent paid £100m for a DM, weve paid it for a midfielder who can play defensively, or can carry a midfield, has a great range of passing when called upon/allowed.

Yet before Ranieri we hardly ever beat them.

We gave them a good game at the Bridge last season, even with just 10 men for most of us and Badiashile at CB.

Yet we'd never beat them. They are now at the point where they can play like crap against us and still get a result. Again, like we used to do.

Madness from Milan.

They are a mess these days.

What a gift for PSG. They’ve had some right business going their way with Milan, going back from when they took Silva.

This is the biggest mismanagement of transfer funds in Serie A history. Not even to be hyperbolic, as it’s taking into consideration the context/revenues/options available and so on. Mad.

Milan have money now?

By Serie A standards they're in relatively decent financial shape under American owners. Commercial revenue up, player sales.

Alex Ferguson acknowledge it when he said Wise could " start a fight in an empty house"

She was 17 at the time and she denies anything happened. It dates back to June 2020. This is part of an ongoing investigation into a business called "Ma.De.Milano", essentially an escort agency aimed at footballers. They're under the microscope for pimping and child prostitution.
