KaKa Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 1 hour ago, The Prophet said: Disagree, he's one of the best pressing midfielders in the country when he's on form. It's getting that consistency from him that's key. Absolutely, and he also scored goals and did show that consistency last season at Palace. More specifically in a midfield three as a number 8, which is how we'd use him. It's an absolute no brainer to take advantage of Chelsea's stupidity and steal some of their talented youth players off them, while their values are down. I'd also take Loftus-Cheek as an added versatile piece to have in the squad. Another who has been messed about by Chelsea. At various points I've seen this guy play on the left, as a number 10, as a number 8 and even at wing back. Chelsea have no idea of what they are doing. We should take full advantage.

Theregulars Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 2 minutes ago, The Prophet said: I can't think why anyone would have an agenda against Edwards. Could it be openly admitting he enjoys winding up the fanbase? His brown nosing of Steve Bruce? His dog whistling? His generally inaccurate reporting? It's an absolute mystery. Well, if you’re a functioning adult who can deal with nuance then you can dislike something a person has said or done but still concede to reality when they’ve said something completely accurate or fair on a different matter. I don’t think his reporting is generally inaccurate, for what it’s worth. The Bruce relationship and fan-goading were shit, yes; doesn’t mean you need to maintain an agenda. It’s amazing but people who do something you don’t like can also do something you’re ok with… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I think his reporting on our signings, especially those from abroad has been abject. He had no idea what was going on. I couldn’t really care less either way, I’m sure he does have some links to knowing what’s going on so I’m not going to discount everything he writes but his hit rate is very low. It doesn’t help that he’s a WUM and is desperate for attention Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most on here are nuanced enough to do that. Regarding his work, he's very scatter-gun with far more misses than hits. There's plenty of other journos out there the same, he just gets extra stick because of said agenda. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's plenty about, but he gets extra abuse because he goes out looking for it and he's generally a bit of a melt. Anyway, back to the rumours.

Wasn’t directing it at anyone in particular and for fairness I’ll change idiotic element to goading/reactionary element. I certainly wasn’t in the camp that he was winding up regardless of description. Maybe you do fall into the category that struggles with nuance of his Tweets etc and gets wound up for no reason than not being able to dissect them fully. Maybe you don’t.

The Prophet Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I think all the locals are starved of information these days, not just Edwards.

LFEE Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 For balance when you read the actual article he practically rules out two of three players almost immediately leaving only Ziyech as a possible goer ? Every time I’ve seen him for Chelsea he’s looked poor. Didn’t think he shone that much in the WC either if you actually analyse his individual performances away from the amazing team performances. RLC seems to play in 2nd gear all the time and it’s been so long that maybe he just doesn’t have a 3rd never mind 4th gear. Never see any desire in the lad at any club. CG I’ve already stated he’ll fight to stay put. Not a massive fan but the best fit of the three and someone EH could work his magic on as he’s definitely got hunger and desire. Possibly trying too hard at present for Chelsea and needs to settle down a bit and become less headless in his play. Admirable though as he’s clearly trying to spark a fire amongst his teammates who aren’t lifting a leg at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
