We just need to put pictures of Chelsea's bench up at Finch Farm. Young talents will soon come around to the idea that if they sign for them, they won't be starting anytime soon. :dodgy:
The problem arises when they get told about Strasbourg...
Probably just me, then. Like you've said, he was important during the invincible season. Maybe it's just my brain telling me that he had a drop off because Leverkusen weren't as good in general?
Granit Xhaka to Sunderland. Actually think that's a poor signing compared to the rest they've made because it looked like he'd run out of energy the last time I saw him 🤷♂️
Got the code to the Lid league, fella? @Neiler
So many exciting options at the 4.5m mark in defence, even if they rarely score over 100pts in a season. Rotating them through periods seems the way to go.
Nunez scored an 8 minute hat-trick in a pre-season friendly yesterday. Even the RS I know aren't getting carried away.
This thread because of pre-season results is asinine and it goes someway in highlighting our inferiority complex as a fanbase :(
Tbf they have covered the based on appearances/minutes in the small print.
Hypothetically, if Delap starts he would easily score 10 in that Chelsea team.
