Chelsea FC - Pride of London

[Eastcoasteagle]

Spain is looking pretty unattractive at the moment with the cap on spending and both sides regenerating. IMO the top 3 clubs in the world to play at would be Man City, PSG or Bayern.

Obviously all three behind CFC.

Nice to win the Super Cup again after losing our last three finals. Really want to win our first Club World Cup this year.

 

[Thistle]

Also great to see Kepa win us the shootout. Hopefully that will do big things for his confidence.

what's everyone's starting 11 for this season?

I mean it's insane but I can feasibly see Mount or Havertz not starting. Our team is insane

Mendy (Kepa)
James (Azpi) Silva (Zouma) Rudiger (Christiansen) Chilwell (Alonso, Emerson)
Kante
Kovacic (RLC) Jorghinho (Mount, Havertz)
Mount (Ziyech, CHO) Lukaku (Werner) Pulisic (Havertz)​

 

[Loonerty]

I'd go 4-2-2-2.

Mendy
James - Christensen - Silva - Chilwell
Kante - Jorginho
Havertz --------------------- Mount
Lukaku ---- Werner​

 

[chef]

Something like this is 'best 11', but we'll be going horses for courses and there'll be heaps of rotation.

.....................Mendy.............
.........Azpi.. ...Silva......Rudiger..........
James.......................................Chilwell
.................Kante......Jorginho..............
.........Havertz....................Mount.......
..........................Lukaku................

 

[chef]

Doubt we'll be going 4 at the back anytime soon.

Maybe if we buy Kounde and Rice.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

what's everyone's starting 11 for this season?

Starting 11 for CP:

Mendy
Azpi Zouma Rudiger
CHO Kante Jorginho Chilwell
Havertz Pulisic
Werner

Mount and James to start as sub as was late back to training, Lukaku to come on as a sub as to only just arriving at the club.

Best 11:
Mendy
Azpi Silva (Christensen) Rudiger
James Kante Jorginho Chilwell
Havertz Werner
Lukaku

Mount, Werner and Havertz to regularly rotate starts to manage them through the season, but very even and add different structures for us.
Silva and Christensen will also regularly rotate.
Kovacic the other that will regularly rotate with Jorg and Kante in centre of midfield.

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

Lukaku to come on as a sub as to only just arriving at the club.

I believe he can't play cause he has to isolate

Yep until Monday

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Welcome home, Rom

10 years apart

 

[chef]

Chalobah earns a start after his great preseason. Yay.

RLC has Covid. Boo.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Chalobah earns a start after his great preseason. Yay.

Nice. Love that TT is giving him a chance.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Chalobah scores. GET IN LAD!

That goal was absolute quality, stuff Kounde we've got super Trev.

 

[Loonerty]

That goal was absolute quality, stuff Kounde we've got super Trev.

Honestly not mad if we don't sign Kounde now, if Trev can keep this up. Wasn't troubled defensively really but his passing was fantastic.

Also thought Andreas was brilliant.

 

[Loonerty]

I also can't ****ing wait to see Lukaku added to this side. The amount of chances we create...

Also thought Andreas was brilliant.

Does seem like a bit of a luxury buy now with the way Trev has done in the preseason. He can also fill that 4th CM spot we have vacant too.

Though Kounde would be an amazing addition to our squad.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Good luck to Tammy.

I read somewhere we put a buy back clause into his sale. Hopefully this is true as he does have the potential to become a great player.

 

[Wally Walpamur]

Yep €80M / £68M

Hopefully he can develop in Italy and take over Lukaku in 4-5 years time
