The Sterling situation seems a natural outcome of the most scattergun recruitment strategy in history :lol:

Starting Modric is nonsense, he's 38, he came on yesterday for control and no control happened. There's better players who should come off the bench first. Once we get in match shape things will look better. Rudiger or Carvajal couldn't complete a pass in the second half, that's tiredness.
We need to go back to a 4-4-2.

The 2 guys up top allowed to flow freely with Jude feeding them and Tchouameni, Valverde, and Camavinga (when fit) doing the dirty work in the midfield.
 
Can any Chelsea fan breakdown the current strategy, seriously?
I have no proof this is just speculation, aside from a few articles I've read:

Young guys are bought and given long contracts, making their weekly pay lower.

- If they pan out, keep for first team or flip for big profit down the line

- Don't pan out, sell at a loss but due to low weekly wages won't cause as much damage (in theory, especially since no one has been sold yet but it'll happen
eventually)

- Other guys will never play for first team, so generate a loan fee, then sell for profit (Diego Moreira as of last week)

- Guys on oversized contracts get forced out (Sterling, Chilwell, Lukaku)

- Guys on reasonable contracts but don't want to increase their wages get forced out (Gallagher, Chalobah)
 
My boy keeps telling me to watch the movie Goal. Worth the watch?

There's one detail in the final act of the movie that completely took me out of it! And it will always be the first thing I think about when someone mentions this movie. 😅😂

Other than that, I felt the first movie was ok.

Santi taking a FK (and scoring) with his left foot despite being right footed.
 


That's a shame, would've wanted to see him playing a top 6 side. That's likely a generational bag for his family though



United were linked this month but Fulham is more his level...

Shame it probably means they won't buy McTom though. Gotta wait for Napoli to get money for that exit now it seems..
