Probably have to loan him to Serie A like Lukaku as he'll soon lose his England place and on the decline now. Southgate will still pick him regardless of form He would look so out of place in Italy or Spain and his lack of technical skills would be exposed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 16, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2023 Chelsea are such a weird club. I can't explain it. It's almost like I don't consider them real. Like I don't understand how you could support them? But I'm not sure why 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I don't understand how you could support them? But I'm not sure why I know what you mean. Kind of related, but I'm always surprised by how (relatively) inactive their main forum is compared with VT. For example - their thread on Potter has 175 pages, almost 100 less than our thread for Emery, and if Emery was performing as badly as Potter ours would be even more active. They are a huge club, but then again they also aren't really. I'm not convinced they have the entrenched support of United, Liverpool or Arsenal, and if they were to endure a period without any success or CL football, I don't think it would take long for them to fade back into relative obscurity.

What!? So he is a half season wonder? Not sure it’s even that he is much of a wonder… I reckon Lee Trundle could’ve scored 3 Champions League goals this season. £88m wow.

But I'm not sure why Chelsea is such a weird place. 25% social housing then all the rest the highest rents and property prices on earth, all based on a cultural rep that hasn't been relevant for 40 years (but still attracts money launderers and rich fools), and even then it was kind of a big in-joke. What kind of football club grows up in a place like that? Chelsea FC. Edited January 16, 2023 by Marka Ragnos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think even Samatta scored some goals in the CL. Please be a monumental waste of money! I would love to see one (or more) of the SL6 crash and burn.

The_Steve Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Mudryk on £97k pw, which is still less than Hudson-Odoi and Loftus-Cheek. Madness. No wonder they horde so much talent with those obscene wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
