You added Olmo and Ferrin, central midfielders when comparing Barca - nonsense and ingredients

Estevao is already replacing Madueke and if you ask me Neto should go to to make another space on RW for Palmer

Pep has already asked Man City board to sell many of those players you listed, that he will even resign if they don't sell them - certainly he will sell Grealish and McAtee at the first opportunity as well as even Savinho and Doku if decent bid comes in
Olmo and fermin Lopez aren’t central midfielders

Both are attacking midfielders and only plays behind the striker

Madueke has 5 assists in 3,790 minutes of league football is his 3 seasons at Chelsea.

7 assist in all competitions if I want to be generous.

Where is the agenda?
The people that were playing on the wings for us the season we finished 12th how many assists do they have ?


Madueke is not world class but you people are being unfair on him, considering his price tag



It's literally doing the same thing we attack air mark for on Jackson
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by drisham(m): 7:57am On Jul 07, 2025
Anyway we have to raise 60m from player sales

Hence the reason madueke is being sold

Fermin Lopez and Dani Olmo are attacking midfielders who can even moonlight on the wings.

The funny thing is, if there’s any team capable of beating PSG right now, it’s Chelsea — and here’s why:

People continue to underestimate the quality of this Chelsea squad. But if you can lock down the wings and dominate the midfield, PSG becomes very beatable — and Chelsea is built to do just that.

Let’s start with the wings: Marc Cucurella already showed the world he can handle Ousmane Dembélé during Spain’s Nations League clash with France.
And on the right? Reece James — arguably the best RB in the world. Nobody’s skipping past him.

In midfield, Moisés Caicedo will do what he does best — break up play and dismantle any buildup. Add Enzo Fernández and Roméo Lavia into the mix, and PSG may struggle to get meaningful touches in key areas.

As for our attack, Cole Palmer and co. bring flair, creativity, and unpredictability. These young attackers can give any defense problems — even PSG’s.

Yes, PSG has the edge when it comes to centre-backs and goalkeepers. Donnarumma is a wall, and it’ll take something special to beat him. And if PSG manages to break through our midfield, they could seriously test our backline.

But all things considered — if Chelsea meets PSG in the final, don’t be shocked if we come out on top.

well you beat teams not by defending nor holding them back but by getting past their defense, creating chances and most especially scoring goals. Can our attack penetrate and cause PSG to concede? I will say yes by LUCK, and no matter how much we hold them, they will keep pressuring our defense which is known to crack at some point.

But it would be an experience worth evaluating if chelsea do play PSG at the finals, win or lose.

Players who aren’t wanted are generally easy to sell because they’re not on high wages, except for Chilwell and Sterling, who are on big contracts.

Katcall:
same madueke that plays like a lone ranger or another one
That’s just it.
Below is a post from one frustrated Chelsea fan about him.

When assessing what makes a good team player in football, key attributes such as selflessness, work rate, positional discipline, and the ability to contribute to team chemistry stand out. Unfortunately, Noni Madueke often falls short on all these counts, and his performances at Chelsea reflect this.

1. Selfishness in Decision-Making
One of the most glaring issues with Madueke’s game is his tendency to hold on to the ball for too long, even when simpler and more productive options are available. Time and again, he chooses to take on defenders or attempt an ambitious shot when there's a teammate unmarked and better positioned to score. This selfish streak directly contributes to his low assist count over the years. Football is a team sport, and any player who consistently ignores passing opportunities for personal glory becomes a liability, not an asset.


2. Lack of Defensive Contribution
In the modern game, especially in high-intensity leagues like the Premier League, wingers are expected to track back and support their full-backs. Madueke, however, often neglects his defensive duties, leaving his flank exposed. This is not only damaging to the team’s shape but also places undue pressure on defenders who are forced to cover more ground.

3. Lone Ranger Mentality
Madueke plays as if he’s in his own world. He doesn’t seem to read the rhythm of the team or adapt to its flow. His off-the-ball movement is minimal, and there’s little to no chemistry between him and fellow attackers. This isolationist approach makes it difficult for the team to build fluid attacking transitions, as he's not someone others can easily play off.

4. Lack of Urgency and Seriousness
Body language matters in football, and Madueke’s is concerning. He often walks around the pitch casually, showing minimal urgency or intensity. His demeanor suggests a lack of hunger or ambition, which is completely out of place in a team trying to rebuild and compete at the highest level.


5. Focus on Personal Glory
Too often, Madueke seems more interested in highlight-reel moments than the hard, thankless tasks that win games. Whether it's unnecessary dribbles, flashy movements, or awkward shot attempts, it's clear that he's chasing moments of individual brilliance rather than team success.
My submission
Madueke is undoubtedly talented, but football isn't just about individual skill, it’s about how that skill contributes to the team. His tendency to hold onto the ball too long, lack of awareness to team work, etc etc .
The goal of any player especially a winger is either to score or create assists . Even if you complete a thousand and ten dribbles in a game, it amounts to nothing if there’s no end product. Until Madueke starts playing more for the team and less for personal flair, it will be hard to fully rely on him in a serious setup.
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by hensben(m): 4:33pm On Jul 07, 2025
Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke are two footballers Chelsea need to move on from if the club truly wants to progress. Their decision-making and overall contribution in the final third have been frustrating. The attack would function much more effectively without them in the picture.

Lavia isn’t fit yet to start the semi-final. He’s still working on his recovery and isn’t fully ready for that level of intensity.

Add that, he always looks moody and uninterested on the pitch. It’s hard to rely on a player with that kind of attitude, especially when the team needs full commitment.

I am optimistic we'll make it to the final. Any team we meet there is tactically and technically superior than us.
Anyway, I'll take my chances with PSG. Madrid in a final, however weakened the team may seem, is a capital no, no.
