I feel bad when any of our players end up playing in Turkey, regardless of how much we need them to leave. Also, I read there were some fans at an open training session that were demanding Timo Werner leave the club. That's gotta be bullshit right? Must be the same geniuses who were complaining about Mount starting.
Hopefully this happens. I feel like the money to grab one of these young French midfielders late in the window won’t be as much as people might think. We shall see.
I like that loan for Emerson. Hopefully the loan fee is solid since it’s an option and not obligation to buy. I could see him having a very good loan though and being able to sell next summer even if they don’t use their option. Lyon are in the Europa league so they should be able to do pretty well in Europe and get him even more matches
I don’t get why we keep extending guys and then sending them on loan. Michy and Kenedy are never going to play here, let’s just wrap this up and move on. Kicking the can down the road for another year in hopes of some kind of actual transfer fee seems bad.
I think the assumption is the market will be better next summer. I don’t agree with the approach either but it is what it is.
Twitter had rumored he picked up a minor knock. I guess this is better if his breakthrough case isn’t too bad and doesn’t destroy his fitness.
Pretty sure Euro clubs don’t fuck around, don’t think getting vaxxed was optional if they wanted to play
Pretty amazing that livramento benched walker-peters immediately. Maybe some starts were promised in the transfer but he’s held his own so far. I don’t think Tammy comes back but I think livramento will in a few seasons.
Hopefully we have the lead and then werner can come on and cause havoc running in behind. Excited to see lukaku play with either German.
Looks like 3-4-1-2 with havertz and lukaku both up top. I’d expect that to be the new formation when everyone is fit with havertz or Werner playing off of lukaku and mount a bit deeper.
Lukaku just does so much for the side. Hold up is incredible and even just the attention he draws opens things up on the wings so much.
When my son and I met CP10 I overheard him talking to one of the other players he was with saying Arsenal was going to be so bad. He was right
This rain is making me nervous. We’re definitely getting some weird screwy goal in this game, hope it’s not on us
Definitely want a 3rd goal. Lukaku staying desperate for another goal after already getting one is exactly the kind of mentality a top striker has to have.
Advanced stats won’t pick up just how good a play that was from Mendy. Fantastic positioning to be ready for that ball.
Should have been 3-0 but I’ll take 2-0 wins away all day. Team already looks much better with lukaku in it. A few times Reece and mount missed playing the pass early. We will only improve more as these guys get used to lukaku. None of our attackers have played with a striker as good as Rom.
one of the things Tuchel talked about in a recent presser was that Haaland viewed Chelsea as a “next stop” while Lukaku viewed it as a home (paraphrasing and making inferences here, obviously). Lukaku is winning me over immediately with posts like this.
