@Blue_Footy Vince you are doing the same dance for this Ownership Model which compromised your credibility as an advocate for the club. We are not negative Vince. We are simply traumatized by what these owners have done to the club and forgive us for needing evidence to fully get onboard.
@GoldbergCFC The big Chelsea accounts that are now calling for the heads of the Sporting Directors and chanting Blue Co. out are the same ones that legitimized and supported the project model. They supported Tuchel's sacking and openly endorsed and lobbied for the youth spending approach.
@ConnCFC This project is ridiculous. We bought young players and put them on long contracts hoping that they would develop together and in a few years we would have a gelled team of stars. Yet we are willing to sell one of our most experienced players as soon as their stocks rise.
Unpopular opinion: Nicholas Jackson is the best left sided winger at Chelsea. He played in that position in Spain and none of the coaches at Chelsea had the vision to play him there.
Enzo Fernandez is an exceptional, box-crashing player when in the mood. He’s a world champion. His numbers at Chelsea are decent, 10 goals and four assists in the Premier League this season. But if Fernandez is keen on a move because Chelsea's aren’t in Europe, as is being claimed, then maybe he also needs to look at himself as one of the reasons why Chelsea are not in Europe.
When Chelsea cried out for somebody to take control of a game, as against Brighton and Sunderland, he failed. In the 3-0 loss to Brighton, Fernandez made one tackle in the 90 minutes and lost out. He lost 4/6 duels. Only 1/4 passes was forward. He didn’t have an attempt on goal. However out of his depth Liam Rosenior may have been, he wasn’t helped by Fernandez.
In the 2-1 final-day defeat to Sunderland, Fernandez was given the joint lowest mark on the match report on the Sky Sports website, 3/10. He made one tackle and failed to win the ball. He made three fouls and was booked once. Chelsea lost 2-1. However out of his depth interim Calum McFarlane may have been (understandably), he wasn’t helped by Fernandez.
The 25-year-old Argentine is a very good No 8 on his day, not a 6 btw, and there will be interest in him whatever the reservations about his character. Neither Real Madrid nor PS-G have a need for his specific skill-set but Manchester City do, Atletico Madrid do. If Chelsea can get anywhere close to the £106m they paid for him, it will be a major result. #CFC
@GoldbergCFC Anderson over Enzo any day. Enzo is average. Not great defensively in a pivot. Not the greatest passer of the ball. Not very creative as a number 10. Shooting outside the box is weak. Sell now.
@Sir_jaay01 We paid over $100m for Enzo and he has been a disappointment. Very average in every area of midfield. Isn't an impactful or creative 10. Doesn't defend well in the pivot. Shooting outside the box is weak. Poor captain. Throws his hands in the air when things go bad Must sell
Forget all the rubbish about the fact it will do Alonso good blah, blah. 10th place and no Europe is a terrible season for Chelsea. Lots of work to be done this summer.
That Palmer effort sums up his form. Let himself down when he started believing his own hype. He can't hit the net like normal players anymore. Every effort on goal must look effortless and cool. When it doesn't come off you look like an idiot lacking conviction in front of goal.
Chelsea owners should be ashamed of themselves trying to emulate Bournemouth, Brentford and Brighton when we have PSG and Bayern Munich of this world!!
Utter foolery 🤬
@GoldbergCFC Not gonna lie. Goldberg really campaigned for Chelsea to recruit some real ballers. Have to give him some props. If it were up to him we would have Olise and Cherki up front for us now.
@Blue_Footy Bringing back Rüdiger would definitely add leadership, depth and winning mentality to our team. Adding Andy Roberts and Bernardo Silva would also make our squad much richer.
@Blue_Footy Some Chelsea accounts still talking about who should inherit this 'project'. This whole project garbage is what got us in this place. We have 2 elite men's and women's first teams that need to be funded and supported to win.
May the current Chelsea not happen to us man.
Liam Rosenior was doing very well at Strasbourg, building his CV bit by bit, but clueless ownership forced him to take the Chelsea job, which he didn’t seem too excited to accept. He failed, and now he’s jobless.
Another case is Aaron Anselmino, who was doing very well on loan at Dortmund. He was one of their best players, and they needed a centre-back, so he was recalled and sent to Strasbourg on loan to replace Sarr, who had also been recalled from Strasbourg. Sarr was doing very well there too.
Since then, Anselmino’s development has been derailed. He has managed only three appearances for Strasbourg so far, which isn’t even up to 30 minutes of football. Meanwhile, Mohammodu Sarr has only made six appearances for Chelsea.
Chelsea’s problem isn’t the players or the coaches they keep sacking, it’s the ownership.
We coveted the Brighton model. A mid club. We forgot that we were an elite club. How does that make sense? Why buy a club and completely disregard what made the club great. Now we just got flogged by a team with an identity we failed to mirror.
Chelsea is a joke. How arrogant are these Owners and Directors to believe they didn't need to recruit top talent. They believed they had the chops to buy young talent and have them become World beaters in 3 years. Last season we ignored Cherki and Eze and bought garbage
It's interesting hearing these big accounts now cry about the futility of the project. They enabled these owners and their crap scouts that they have elevated to Sporting Director roles. We compromised our expectations and standards for the club and we should all be ashamed.
