Petrovic was worse than Sanchez when he was here last time but appears to have significantly improved whilst in France. The jury is out whether he'll be able to repeat his form from last season in a much better league.

He'll be loaned to Dortmund on the last day of the window and they will pay less than half his wages and no loan fee.

As a Chelsea supporter, I can assure you we have ZERO starting goalkeepers and Pope is is better than everyone on our books.

Good midfield, good fullbacks, everything else aside Palmer is meh, with some being patently poor (Sanchez/Jackson). Also, Maresca's tactics produce some of the most boring football, but if he's getting results we can live with it for now.

Oh sorry, was hoping he doesn't join us (Chels) as I don't rate him. He's a big lump, and will bully a few goals each season. But he's got the first touch of Jack the Ripper, and his second touch is always a tackle. We already have that in Jackson, no need to have an identical profile.

Not if Delap is our starting 9 next season.

Worse still, qualifying for CL means they'll double-down on their hairbrained all youth strategy. To them, it's simply confirmation they're on the right path, when actually, it was the jammiest qualification I've seen.

Oh good, they've 'entered' the race. Shortly to be, 'leading' the race, or '...have pulled ahead' in the race.

I would like to add one point. His slender frame and lack of lower body strength will see him routinely out-muscled for possession in the Prem. The Bundesliga defenders are talented no doubt, but they are no match for the physicality of the English league.

I know he won't do it, nor would most players in his position, but it would be unfortunate if he were to develop a slight injury just before all the meaningless internationals.

If he needs a rest that badly then he can sit out the England games. It's not like international footy is worth the watch anyway.

Nice one, Enzo! Get those excuses in early for next season's regression to the mean. You absolute donut 🤣

Liam Delap and Ben Nelson is who we'll get. I wish I was joking.

Delap is precisely why this 'project' is doomed to failure. The Chuckle Brothers consistently believe they're smarter than the rest of the scouting world, whilst simultaneously having made numerous disastrous transfers.
Delap is not better than Jackson, and we need improved play at that position.

Sorry, but Sterling and Mudryk same as my previous reply. Mudryk might not fetch any fee at all and the club may explore contract termination due to breach (drug test). Sterling is chained to the bench at Arse, and rightly so. No one is buying him on £350k/week.

No one is buying those players without significant wage subsidy from us, including the fact none will demand a fee that covers their remaining book value.
I'm with you on the idea, but it will be nigh on impossible to complete.

I will agree that resistance movements in Eastern Europe were effective during the war, but still, they didn't change much on the front line, and changed absolutely nothing politically.
Western Europe resistance movements were wholly ineffective, at least according to Churchill and Ike.

PS - Americans routinely cite Ronald Reagan's increased defence spending as the core reason for the dissolution of the Soviet empire. The less astute amongst them believe it was the failure in Afghanistan. And you, who believe it was protests.
None of which are true.

France is the only reason America became free of Britain, and it broke them, causing years of tumult, repression, and mass murder.
The 'American project' was not a success in the eyes of France.

The Warsaw uprising only had a chance if Bagration hadn't been paused. Otherwise, the only thing it achieved was the *furtherment of mass murder for the Warsaw Jews. Vichy only collapsed after Dragoon.
Resistance movements had zero to do with the NAZI collapse outside passing target information.

The resistance movements the NAZIs faced were almost entirely eliminated through mass murder. They elicited zero change in Hitler's policies, and in fact, made them more tyrannical.
