Let Chelsea make that mistake though but £200 million on a couple of prospects is just daft. Expand He was playing RB iirc and was solid there.

TheBrownBottle Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Neymar to Chelsea makes perfect sense to me. Apart from the obvious over-hyped and over-paid element, he’s also a racist and a supporter of Bolsonaro. Perfect fit with their ‘traditional’ support.

Expand £40m will get you a winger that’s scored 7 premier league goals in 70 odd matches at 21. 2/3 of Mason Mount with 1 year left on his contract. Less than half a Declan Rice.

Stottie Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Brighton have a weird way of playing where they cycle the ball and tempt the other team to overpress. They are extremely well-drilled at it and it works most of the time. When it doesn't work, their opposition manages to convert the 40% of possession they get into lots of xG. We do not hog the ball, but concede significantly fewer. The ease with which Brighton can replace players and even the manager suggests what they are achieving is not dependent on Caicedo or any other individual. That Caicedo can do it at such a young age speaks highly of him however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of dudes have gone to Chelsea to supposedly be their best player and elevate them but you can’t do that at that club. Expand Wrong side of 30 doesn’t really apply anymore. Cristiano, Messi, Modric, Kroos, Lewa, Benzema etc all showed that you can play at the highest level until you are 34-35 as long as you can keep fit and have the talent. In terms of talent no one except for De Bruyne comes close in the PL (Haaland is another story). It’s obviously a very high risk high reward situation for anyone trying to sign him because of his injury record. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
