I think a 3 year deal is okay. He might stay injury free and help us to big things next season. I don't trust caicedo and gallagher is not fully experienced. Maybe if we get a very good dm too it might help us. He is our legend so consideration should be given to him well even if we doesn't sign a new deal.
I think the board and this new owners have been more than fare. Under the previous Marina led administration Kante would have been begging for that 3 year contract cos they probably wouldn't have offered more than 2 years. I believen Kante still has upto atleast 2uears in him of solid performance. But these injuries are now going as far back as from the 2019/20 season. Meaning its been an off nd on thing and seems to be getting worse as the years goes by.

Kante has too quality normally. But when he gets those injuries it usually affects our progress cos our midfield immediately takes a stumble. That's why i would love us moving on from him and getting a suitable replacement who's still young and vibrant. Even if not same quality with Kante but can do the major job required

I'm saying rubbish here

If you know the history of Chelsea then you know how Chelsea is loyal to players that played a part in its success.

I'm saying rubbish too
grin if you actually know Chelsea as well as you claim you do. Then you would have been smart enough to know Chelsea over the years hardly gives players above 30 more than a year contract. No matter who that player is. It's always been a year contract. If he does well then it's extended if he doesn't he leaves.

Kante getting more than 2 years contract with an option of a third is the new board being generous and trying to make some changes.

how is Chelsea like crypto? so can analogy sef lol
Big man na simple metaphor. Football is a huge investment... As you could be a legend for joining the right club at the right time or you could be a nobody if you don't take your chance.

In 2022 Crypto can be regarded as one of the biggest investments in the world.

Normally i shouldn't even be replying this but anyways you have your answer

Trevor012:
Why should your first choice goalkeeper accept to be paid less than the back up? He will definitely want around the figures Kepa is receiving to sit on the Bench.
The main issue is being underpaid. Kepa was signed by Marina for world record fee for a goalkeeper from Bilbao for about 70M.

Mendy was signed due to Kepa falling out with the coach (Lampard) and clumsy goalkeeping. Tuchel came in and made him the undisputed choice.
Now Mendy isn't great tactically, not great at controlling the ball with his feet, clumsy at times and made quite a number of errors leading to goals. Not good at saving penalties either. He's just great at making saves which of late since last season he has been barely average at best in making saves

Chelsea has been trying to get rid of Kepa for a while but that hasn't worked out. Mendy rejecting that contract... A contract which was worth more than his current wage was a very dumb move. Is he expecting over 200k a week? Very dumb move
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by DumaEmpire(m): 6:24pm On Oct 10, 2022
At some point you'd expect these players to know that playing football isn't just a profession or mere job, its an investment.

When you make a wrong investment on your footballing career you'd only have yourself to blame for not achieving more. A perfect example of that is Jay Jay Okocha. Talented, good. A delight to all who watched him but there's hardly individual achievements

Willian gambled with Spurs and Chelsea and was quite lucky he chose the right investment cos he did win lots with Chelsea.
Hazard at Madrid is hardly a bad investment (achievement wise) but career-wise it didn't favour him.
Willian left Chelsea when offered a 2 year deal cos he wanted 3. Turned out to be a bad investment

And now we have the Kante/Mendy dilemma. Kante has been offered a good deal. But cos Koulibaly got 4 years. He's screaming for 4 years.

Mendy was offered a good deal as well but cos Kepa earned 190k, he felt too big nd started rejecting contracts(someone who was Jobless just a few years) now chilling on the bench earning peanuts of about 60k

Chelsea's like a Crypto Investment.

You snooze, you lose

You, were you Chelsea's fan when it won UEFA winner cup in 1997/1998 and Super cup in 1998?

I was already a fan even ever before then. What about you?
How exactly does this relate to Kante staying or not?

It's very simple. It's obvious you value Kante more than we the fans. You can have him for free next summer. Give him a lucrative contract for 4 years and go win the Champions League with him

It's a logical and simple solution. Doesn't require digging documents from 500AD. Oga grin

Injury prone!? How? Can you please explain? Missing 12 games out of 48 games is no worse.

The other clubs that wants to buy him don't understand, abi?

It is better to havè a one legged world class player that will guarantee us trophies than to have carpenters that will last longer but gives nothing.
Oga focus on your club. You can get Kante for free and pay him his wages for 4 years next summer.

calm down at the early stages when attacks where entering more through the left than at the right, but the thing no last
Chilwell was even worst in the second half than the first. Tuchel was sparing him more blushes. The substitution was right. But the replacements weren't as he didn't do like for like changes but experimental changes like moving Reece James to Lwb. If Kouli was taken off that man probably would have left James at Lwb for maybe extra 15 mins while Cucurella was right there.

I remember scenes when Cucurella was just signed...

Folks here were like "Tuchel's a fool, idiot. Todd is stupid. Chilwell is the best thing after sliced oranges. Thunder fire Tuchel... Cucuruku has not played for national team before, overpriced fowl, idiot, scaliwag, he go chop bench, Chilwell will bench him, Chilwell is better than him, Spanish flop, only British boys like Chilwell should play, waste of money"

After Match day 1. "Hmm Cucurella is good tho, Hmm Chilwell's still recovering from ACL for the 8th month, Cucurella can pass sha, Cucurella is amazing. God bless Todd for signing him"

£125,000 per week on offer for Rahpael Belloli, higher than want the other clubs have offered. Seems a very good offer to me.
Glad sugar mummy Marina is out. If not Raphinha would probably be going home with not less than 180k a week if she was the one on the wheels for the deal.

You are waffling. I am the one who said positionless player. You sensed there could be some misconception so you asked me for my definition of a Positionless player. I told you. You have no right to tell me what my definition should be when I set the context and not you The only reason you are going round and round is because you read me hoping to contradict rather than converse with me.

By the way, the highlighted word is correlate.

I know you are trying to troll but you are not doing a good job. You asked me to define what I meant by the word so you'd understand the context in which I used it. I did, so you would understand me. You cannot turn around to disagree with me. It is like I am replying someone on here and I say "brother". Then you ask me what I mean and I say "brother" just means "pal" and you turn around to disagree by telling me brother means "male person from the same progenitor" but pal means friend. Lol
Lol your example doesn't really coronate with what we are talking about. You said Positionless. In this context normally anyone would think you refer to a player being versatile enough to fit or suit different styles or positions of play. But you claimed it isn't the same thing and Positionless was a term that has a meaning of its own different from Versatility.

But then in the footballing world that word "Positionless" seems not to have a meaning which prompted me to ask for a source where such word has been used in connection to football since the history of the sport and here you are making explanations with examples that still doesn't connect

Positionless means his designated position depends on the role the manager wants him to play on the day. You can say versatile and you'd be right but it is not exactly the same in every context. You will agree with me that Harry Kane is a striker right? But will you also agree that he plays as a 10 in some games. When he is playing as a striker that roams everywhere on the pitch he is showing his positionlessness. However when he plays as a 10 (only) in some games, he is showing his versatility.
When a manager assigns a player to a specific position then he's not positionless na. That word doesn't exist in Football/Soccer. If it does please show us. And please not from a positionless source grin

what does positionless player mean?
Versatility is the word. Positionless is like saying he doesn't have a position. That makes him no different from you.

Jesus is a striker who's versatile and can play both the wings and the 9.

But i'm more interested in the second paragraph of your speech. Makes zero sense cos i don't know which club or manager in his right senses would sign a striker only to convert him to a midfielder.
