Sounds not dissimilar to DD. 33 minutes ago, ROTG said: Or DDF 😀 Yin & Yang. Gotta love people really 😉 Have next to nothing of this chap, but as always as soon as he becomes a Chelsea player he’ll get my and by far the majority of fans full support. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgs Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Aaron Anselmino for £25m then straight back out on loan. I wonder what Trevoh thinks about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect he's heartbroken to be honest but the sheer hard hearted answer would be according to the powers that be , Anselmino isn't deemed good enough at the moment , just like Chalobah himself. Not that I agree , I'd much prefer him to some of the others. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anselmino may never be good enough whereas we know Trevoh is perfectly capable of playing at this level, can cover several roles within the squad and wants to stay. But the directors don't look good by keeping an academy player in the squad. They can seemingly only show their worth by signing some random from South America for the now standard 20m+. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like so many signings of the young South Americans that we are buying and accumulating, I can only surmise that the powers that be believe they have a higher performance ceiling. Possibly higher re-sale values too? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they can all see the club are stock piling players in all positions and therefore the chances of succeeding at Chelsea are slim at best. Therefore, for the vast majority it’s the stepping stone into a career in Europe? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So can’t fund the amount of players they used to. Except for Benfica, as we fund them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys are set for life and that's the selling point. They and the sporting directors couldn't care less about a sporting project. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice chap. On a holiday/honeymoon with his fiancé, in economy - cheapskate. Bet these junior keepers we’re signing aren’t ‘economy’ people. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Kratos Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Maybe they might change the rules and let us play 3 keepers in goal so we don't concede as much under Savers Sarri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's part of the long term Todd campaign to revamp the game....three keepers in a 3-3-4-3-1 formation...bigger goals and bigger pitches...more exciting with 2 of the 3 keeper line up "rush goalies" ......(three pk spots?,,choose the spot and a choice of who faces the pk?) OR,15 outfield players allowed to handle the ball, could change the shape for easier handling ? (hence hand use familiar players,),,skip the goal mouth,,,score over the cross bar,,, Might work?
