This picture alone has flop energy written all over it 😅. The jersey, the expression, it’s giving early Lord Bendtner vibes.

If this is Arsenal’s big hope for the season, they might end up wishing they had Nicolas Jackson instead.

For someone that played just 10mins in a debut and you’ve concluded, that was how you lots wrote Haaland off that season he lost penalty against Liverpool and manny missed chances in that same game only to destroy the league that season

Is this how you think?

Fingers crossed.

20 non penalty goals the minimum.

BlewMahn:
The latest I saw from one of the tier two sources was that the club have no fears regarding his character having conducted "background checks". It just feels like they're waiting for United to reduce the price

Hmmm…the board knows best. Make the window do end make we rest abeg.

This guy won’t flop and he is better than Nicolas Jackson

You can quote me later when the premier league gets to 20 games

Make una no Dey take pre season serious o

Hens brain is a riot!!...club world world and world cup on par, no player is taking that trophy over a league title let's be honest...The trophy has potential but is not that guy yet...The only positive thing about Chelsea win is how it pursued hArmless elruditor out of the thread

He's trying to push Palmer bdor charge this season lol. Plamer had a wonderful season but he's not gonna win the Balodor this season. It's locked for Dembele.

It's why I just laugh when I hear people say that balodor has lost relevance lol. As long as there's life and there's football, bdor is the pinnacle for all players. Every single soul wants to get their hands on it.

On bdor night, this page go full despite some people saying it's lost relevance. Relevance is only lost when our favourite player isn't in contention to win it.

Bdor no be joke

hensben You talk say Gykores go flop

You don forget say you self buy Joao pedro too ?

Oh because he was good at the club World Cup we should forget about what’s going to happen at the epl ? I Kuku trust Chelsea fans

I believe he won’t flop for Chelsea sha ,but I doubt he will even score more goals than Gykores will do for arsenal

This is my top 3

Dembele
Ralphinha
Nuno/Hakimi.

I doubt Yamal will finish above these guys but we'll see. Palmer makes top 10 for sure. I'll say he's in contention for top 3/4 sef

Who is in contention for top 3/4 ?

Palmer nah

However, if he doesn't make top 3/4 or top 5 then bdor organizers no rate club world cup like that. It's now left for FIFA to push Palmer itself and put him top 3/4 during the FIFA The Best Ceremony since he was the best player in a FIFA organized competition.

Yamal top 3? We'll see sha. I no want drag anything.

Palmer top 3 after he was no where to be found for majority of the second half of the season ,and boom he came alive at the CWC then he will make top 3

You will learn soon

Of course we shall see

Palmer is not making top 5 after disappearing for almost the 2nd half of last season...Top 5 would likely be a combo of Dembele, Raphinha, Salah, Yamal & Vitinha

Yes top 2/3 for FIFA the Best Ceremony

Top 5 or 3/4 Bdor

Be there

Good top 5. But If Palmer doesn't make top 5 that means Bdor organisers no rate CWC. I mean If you disappear a whole season then go to the FIFA world cup, win it as best player then you're guaranteed a Bdor. You need seven games to win both.

We'll see what the bdor organizers think of this competition and Palmer's position will show their opinion about it. This has nothing to do with what FIFA or Chelsea fans think about the CWC trophy.

StarchAndBanga:
Fofana has to be one of the first players to be shipped out mehn.. Highest paid defender that is never fit. Cut losses and toss him out pls

He has like 5years remaining with nearly 35m remaining on his transfer balance sheet and 200k plus weekly. Good luck tossing him out.

The only person who has won balon d'or solely on world cup performance in the last decade is Messi which is not saying much cuz he also won one for winning the Copa America...Even Modric had a Champions league win to back up his claim, balon d'or is also mostly about narratives, palmer has nothing in that regard

There is Balon d or and FIFA world best player of the year.

Palmers will surely get top 3 in FIFA. That other award na for European.

Still not sold on any of our strikers for next season. Jackson honestly shouldn’t even be at the club. Joao Pedro’s ball striking and goal return are mediocre and while Delap’s finishing is decent, it’s nothing to get excited about. Schick is right there for £30M.

Why not Gnabry and Emre can, Werner is available sef...This guy and German frauds na 5 & 6

Is this how you think?

I never wrote Haaland off in terms of ability, that was never the issue. My skepticism was always about how well he’d fit into Pep’s highly structured, almost robotic system, which, at times, was evident last season. If you actually watch closely, when Haaland isn’t scoring, he often looks isolated or out of sync with the flow of the tactics. That doesn’t mean he’s a bad player, just that the system doesn’t always bring out his full range unless it’s built around finishing chances.

Haaland had an excellent first season, largely because De Bruyne and Rodri were in top form and consistently supplying him with quality service. That dynamic made it easier for him to thrive. Last season, however, that level of support wasn’t as consistent, especially with KDB out for a significant stretch, and it clearly affected Haaland’s overall involvement and output.

hensben:
I don’t think so, bro. With the arrival of Xavi Simons, I believe Palmer won’t be played centrally as much. Maresca will most likely stick with him on the right wing, where he was most effective last season. Neto and Estevão might get chances, but probably more in rotation or against lesser teams. Palmer’s consistency and creativity from the right is too valuable to shift permanently.

Having Palmer dictate play from midfield is honestly a waste of his attacking abilities.
He’s far more dangerous operating closer to the final third, where he can directly influence the game with goals and assists. His instinct and creativity shine best in the attacking zones, not deep in midfield.

He never dictates play from midfield, he is not a True number 10 like Wirtz or even Simmons that we are getting. His best position is on the wings which is why we should get Xavi by all means.

Seems you didnt get my point. I'll rephrase it and football didn't start in the last decade. It goes beyond that.

There's no footballer who won the world cup, won player of the tournament and failed to win the bdor or FIFA world player of the year. Look at the parameters very well.

Lemme spell it out.
You win world cup
You also win player of the tournament in that world cup. If you achieve both then you're 100% winning the Bdor or FIFA world player of the year. You need seven games to win FIFA world cup and club world cup.

My point is this and it's directed to Bdor organisers not FIFA, not Chelsea fans.

If Palmer doesn't at least make top 5 in their award, it simply means that they do not rate CWC. Because if Palmer wins 2026 world cup while being crown player of the tournament, he'll be undisputed Bdor winner. He achieved that in CWC so he should at least make top 5 in Bdor if the organisers/voters rate the tourney.

I know FIFA the best will push Palmer not sure about Bdor.

João Pedro was electrifying for Chelsea in the recently concluded Club World Cup, he really looked sharp. As for Gyökeres, he’s coming from the Portuguese league, which is a different level in terms of intensity and physicality, so there’s always a bit of uncertainty. He could turn out to be a big success, or maybe not, it depends on how quickly he adapts.

The thing with João Pedro is that he already has Premier League experience, and that matters. If Chelsea can provide him with consistent service from midfield, there’s no reason he’ll be missing the kind of chances that Madueke and Jackson were wasting last season.

Palmer will probably make Top 5 in Fifa but don't see it for balon d'or..
