Capaldi:
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.
Palmer was actually dictating play from deep midfield at some point last season. A player like him should be giving free role in the attacking phase of the set up.

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 do you have a high affinity for burnthisleaguedown players?

Rather to have 3 Jackson’s than one Schick.

You are truly a Capper.

Fofana has nothing to do with Tuchel. We have been scouting him way before Tuchel was even hired and he only gave his approval. Lukaku as well was another board signing that was a huge mistake.

No. Lukaku wasn't a huge mistake. The problem started when tuchel changed the system making him struggle and grant that infamous interview. Prior to that, Lukaku was having a good season

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.
Given the three strikers at your disposal, who starts for you in each competition next season?

Nobody sacrificed anything lol.
Shey nah Spanish and Barca fans dey vote for bdor? Bdor is voted by club/international captains, coaches and international journalists. Fans have absolutely no say. Yamal is more popular than Ralhp and Bdor is popularity contest but players must still have to perform.

And don't forget that Bdor is a product of recency bias too and whoever is doing best right now is always better. Towards the end, Ralph fell off and Yamal carried their team so there's that too.

Has zero bearing with Spanish and Barca fans lol. Ralph makes my top 2 though.

Palmer could have easily become a Ballon d’Or winner if not for the inefficiency of his attacking partners, Jackson and Madueke. Both players seemed to overrate themselves, yet consistently failed to deliver in crucial moments. Their poor decision-making and lack of end product often disrupted attacking flow and killed Palmer’s momentum, ultimately leading to his goal-scoring drought at a critical point last season.

Watch the highlight video below and see how Jackson and Madueke, perhaps unknowingly, sabotaged Palmer’s chances of claiming the Ballon d’Or.

I just hope he at least finishes third in the Ballon d’Or rankings, or better still, manages to win it despite everything.

Now that you have replaced Jackson with Joao Pedro and Delap while Madueke has been sold, Nothing should stop Palmer from winning the Balon dor next year abi wetin you think?


Any excuse why Palmer wont win next season?

Thanks for setting the records straight about Lukaku and his time with us.

That Odobert in Spurs has a very high ceiling

It's not often I see a winger that can use both feet as his leading dribbling foot. There are very very few. He also has extreme pace

Palmer will win the Ballon d’Or next season without a doubt, as long as we secure either the UCL or the Premier League, and I’m confident we’re getting one of them. His talent is undeniable, and with a winning team behind him, it’s inevitable.

Tuchel system never needed an elephant like lukaku and no, he wasn't having a good season. He scored 4 goals in First three league games and then didn't score for the next 7 while stinking up the place and pointing to be passed the ball in impossible positions. Even before we went for him I could tell he was going to be a bad signing despite others being blind and calling him world class.

Capaldi:
Lukaku to do what at Chelsea? They better not bring that bag of beans to Chelsea.
Capaldi:
I never wanted Lukaku the bag of beans. we really don't need a pure 9 for Tuchel's system to work. We need a false 9 really that is clinical, we look more fluid because our front 3 can interchange, press and occupy different spaces. Big waste of money.
Capaldi:
All Lukaku does in attack is call for the ball in impossible positions. Useless player

For now, Pedro J is clearly the first-choice striker to start matches. Jackson or Delap can be rotated in depending on how the game unfolds or based on the competition, like the Carabao Cup or FA Cup.
