Also it's not just "some on here" it was UEFA who decided he was the best LB at the Euros. Edited August 5 by Mark Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because he not exceeded his original purchase fee and IMO he will be found out again in Mascara system, which will not be the poodles fault.

OMG. He’s not perfect but he’s improved a lot. What do you want exactly? Why is he a “poodle”? Can’t you give credit where it’s due? 👀💀💯✌️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick1977 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I want to know who's going to captain the side when James is injured and so is chilly? At least Conor put some effort in and showed the others some fighting spirit. Who's going to do that now ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly speaking Reece James is not the best leader and I’d venture that should there be another financial mis-management hole to plug, he’s a leading candidate for that sale. The team lacks a leader or three and it will be interesting to see who might pick up that baton. Look at Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool you can pick their leaders out, ours you genuinely cannot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would sell James anyway I feel he's always going to be injured so that wouldn't bother me tbh but yes we desperately need 2 or 3 real "men" in the team.

Just as we did before the start of the transfer window And just as we did at the start of last season. We didn’t need to be fortune-tellers to know Silva wouldn’t get a new contract, that Reece James will miss a third of a season with injuries etc. Instead we spend £100m+ on unproven young men, who’ve never kicked a PL ball in their lives yet and won’t until 2025 at the earliest. I’m all for buying the future potential, no good if we’re languishing mid/bottom table. If they turn out as good as we hope they will be, they’ll already be eyeing up Real Madrid - but maybe that’s all part of the master plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigpokey24 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I think we need 4 strikers this season . This is how we used to be competitive, let them all compete . Get a top signing like Osimhen , and the rest can compete with him . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VA96 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 6 minutes ago, east lower said: But, will he get a game? I think this has stemmed from in the hypothetical situation Reece is sold/injured, so Gusto is the positional alternative - not sure he's captain material though (yet) Colwill captained last year at Utd away (?), I'd give it to him in the absence of Reece/Chillwell. Can see it going to Enzo though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To your other point - Cole Palmer will be gone next summer if we aren’t really challenging. And I wouldn’t blame him. 😔💀👀💯 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be Levi Colwill imo. James has a terrible injury record and is on huge wages on a long contract. He is, I think, more likely to become a financial issue for us rather than a solution. Adore him as a player and bloke, so hope to be very wrong. We haven't sold the women off yet, have we? Maybe that's 2025's plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's 2025's plan. Yes, you may be right - Depends on who's got the highest ceiling in terms of sale price vs 'profit' for PSR terms. I can't remember whether this current lot or Roman gave Reece his contract? If it was Marina, he'll be the one. As for the ladies, they've managed to cheese-off the most Chelsea manager we've had in a good few years - So much so, that she left - and my reading of her was she absolutely adored Chelsea.
