BlueMann:
Petrovic was not named in the squad? What is wrong with Maresca? At least try him out??

Penders joins instead. It's clear Maresca doesn't rate Petrovic and I don't understand why. Guess Sanchez remains the starter for now

you sure it's not the sporting directors doing
can we say it's maresca that wanted maignan or that sent chalobah away?

I don't think they should give petrovic hope if they want him sold, they have more trust in penders and gk position isn't something to stock on especially if they would later sign maignan

Kendry Paez is understood to be disappointed by not going to the Club World Cup with Chelsea. It was only last week he was told he would be going...

question is why the sudden change of plans, we don't even have enough wingers/attackers or is it youth players maresca want to give the opportunity to

Reijnders, Cheri, ait-nouri total 130M

Wirtz total 150M

I'm not excited about Delap by the way. We asked for SUV and we were given Keke napep.

Me too.

I dont rate him at all. He isnt chelsea standard IMO. But if he will be better than Jackson, then its welcomed.

But this clubworld cup should be an avenue to know whether we should go for a better striker or not.

Madueke improving his crosses per game, looking more like a tuchel winger

If madueke learn how to shoot properly..and improve his final third passes, he will do wonders on the right wing like Robben and lamal.

That left wing no be him proper wing.

Provide the counter-narrative.

A lot of the big teams apart from Liverpool dipped in form.

Who be city fans? Where them dey?

They want to sell him. It's that simple.

That's foolishness, selling your assets and keeping your liabilities is not the best way to keep things running, but wetin do I know sef, telling billionaires how to run his things, poor man ideas no dey sell for their ears.

Writz €150m move to Liverpool is now the most expensive signing in premier league history and the most expensive sale in bundesliga history.

Liverpool got the best attacking midfielder in the world for just 20milllion more than Chelsea and Arsenal spent on Declan rice and Enzo. What a steal, if Liverpool add a striker then they are capable of back to back. We are getting left behind chasing underage prospects.

raumdeuter:
Coaches don't spend money, Na clubs dey spend money. Did Maresca spend any of his personal money?

So the point is Chelsea as a club outspent Man Citeh and you still finished behind them 8 seasons in a row

Chelsea have spent 700million plus more than City over the last 5 seasons yet can't finish above Pep. They can't even finish above Arsenal talkless of Pep.

Exactly. The sporting Directors. Maresca's probably been told Petrovic is to be used in some sort of swap/outright sale deal. If so, then Maresca cannot risk injury to the asset, even if he rates him. He will leave him behind.

Chelsea were blowing cold for the most part of the season, that even most of us switched to siddon-dey-look mode. Many of us stopped tuning into our games.

Manyoo and Spuds were total pants, many of their fans got disgruntled and vowed not to follow respective teams season.

These trio teams’ fan base were the BIGGEST reason low interest were recorded in the EPL. Then PL fans who weren’t affiliated to any of these trio teams stopped following too, they could not just stand watching mid-teams like Forest, Newcastle and Villa being the ones vying for Champions league places.

Which fan base City get to dey talk? It’s just funny reading that.

Abeg leave dat guy. If I'm not mistaken, this will be the first time in more than two decades that Man U, Tottenham, and Chelsea will be out of the top 4 (though Chelsea made it the last day). Arsenal lost the battle mid-season, Tottenham and Man U almost got relegated, every big team lost form except Liverpool and the guy said the Man City that made top 3 was dipped in form. How many fans does Man City have, anyway? In fifty years, Man City can't pull the crowds of fans like Man's U, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea. It's like a billionaire buying a club in La Liga, let's say Levante or Real Sociedad, and they begin to win trophies every season. The seasons they go trophyless, you wouldn't say La Liga lost viewership because of Levante's dip. Even with Man U's dipped form, lingering between 15th and 16th position, they still command more viewership than Man City.

The truth is, Man City has the money, and they can buy trophies, but they can't buy fans. That's just a simple truth.

The way he turned on Poch tells us all we need to know. Wouldn’t want to have him as a fan.

Pochettino turned on himself not me.

We have the best attacking midfielder in the world

And we didn't have to break the bank for him

Price tag doesn't always equal talent

Palmer and Wirtz are not on the same talent level. Palmer is descent, Wirtz is top class. I have been following Wirtz since he was 18.

Attacking midfielder that can't get above 15 assists or 15 goals in bundesliga can never be better than Palmer because that's average level for palmer.


I wonder what type of farming Palmer could do in bundesliga?

At least you made an attempt. Problem is, what you're saying isn't aligned with the facts on ground. Look at the article again. Then make another pass at it. One way to do so is to first extract the common factors between those record-breaking years and juxtapose it with the most recent season that didn't hit the mark.

- City finished 1st. Arsenal 2nd. Liverpool 3rd. Villa 4th. That's 23-24 season.
- City 1st. Arsenal 2nd. ManU 3rd. Newcastle 4th. 22-23 season.

If you noticed, your club didn't make top 4 in both seasons. So nobody cares that hard about CFC. This isn't 2004 anymore. Viewers watched.

Liverpool, were irrelevant as well. Viewers still watched. Compared to this season that they won yet the viewers dipped in numbers.

United same story.

Arsenal were consistently 2nd in the last 3 seasons, if they mattered as much as City, the numbers would have stayed the same.

City is the only team whose shift in position from 1st, 1st to 3rd correlates with this dip in viewers.

Men lie, women too. Numbers don't.

They think this is 2004. I expect some of the OGs to set the lemmings straight. I mean the untraveled unreasearched ones. They should know tides have changed and City are the biggest boys around. They're basically trying to purchase City's academy (players who didn't make it to the first team).

From Gittens, Delap, Palmer, Sancho, Tosin, Lavia etc. The list is endless. Significantly inferior to the Cityzens. Facts don't care about people's feelings.

Think of what you're posting. Does this help your argument? If you stopped watching 22-24 seasons because your team was poor, then your team isn't responsible for the record breaking numbers.

Manyoo and Spuds were total pants, many of their fans got disgruntled and vowed not to follow respective teams season.

If that explains this season, then what about the previous seasons that were record numbers and both teams were still poor?

These trio teams’ fan base were the BIGGEST reason low interest were recorded in the EPL. Then PL fans who weren’t affiliated to any of these trio teams stopped following too, they could not just stand watching mid-teams like Forest, Newcastle and Villa being the ones vying for Champions league places.

Then explain the record breaking seasons. Your team, United, Tottenham were still bad in 22-24. Yet those were the record breaking years.

Which fan base City get to dey talk? It’s just funny reading that.

ROT, you have to be able to explain both sides of the data. If your analysis cannot account for the years of the record-breaking views, it cannot be used for the subpar year. I'm surprised this needs to be explained to people.

Rule of Thumb - ROT.

Goals Goals goals

Has Palmer ever gotten 15 assists?

Has Palmer ever scored 15league goals without penalties?

Has Palmer ever been a key player for a title winning team that went unbeaten in a league season?

Has Palmer ever won outright player of the year in any league?

When it comes to talent, Palmer is not on the same level as Wirtz. Palmer is good, Wirtz is top class.

Y’all come here downplay penalties as if it’s easy to score them. I remember playing in a competition and I scored a hat trick but we still went to penalties shootout and I missed my Penalty and that sent my team home. All that was remembered that day was the fact I missed and got us eliminated. It’s quite easy to downplay other to look right but the truth is we all know the real truth. What Palmer did last season with Chelsea was absolutely incredible and that’s what build up to where we are now. Coming into a team of broken players and single-handedly raising them up from the dust. If that isn’t world class I don’t know what is. This season he wasn’t up to par but he has more impact that most acclaimed world class players in their best season. You are free to like a player better than another but don’t ever take their achievements for granted.

He's right. Why do you guys like to give your players crowns they don't yet deserve?

Shouldn't Palmer have helped your team challenge for the league last season? Isn't that what Lamine did for Barca?

Do you know Matt Le Tissier? Michu? Both players were strong individual contributors for their respective teams but nobody ever called them the best player because their teams didn't win much or finish in the top positions.

Why do CFC fans claim Palmer is on that level but then excuse him from winning major titles?

I am not going to waste my time on this discussion. Just glad he came to England rather than wasting away in Germany were he would have gotten little hype just like olise after an amazing season last year.
