    I'm sorry but that's ludicrous, especially if silverware is a consideration.

  2. Viktor Gyökeres

    You just have to watch him game in game out. He is the best player to play in Portugal since Falcao/Hulk. I understand the reluctance to pay for players who have perhaps inflated numbers for a season, but the eye test is clear here to anyone who has followed the Portuguese league regularly.

    This is also why the comparisons to Nunez are ridiculous. Anyone who watched him week in week out will tell you that this is the best player to come out of the Primeira Liga since Falcao / Hulk.

  4. Viktor Gyökeres

    This is a categorically incorrect take. Nunez wasn't even the best striker in the Portuguese league when he was here (that was Mehdi Tahremi). For me Gyokeres has been easily the best and most influential player to ply his trade here since Hulk or Falcao during the AVB Porto invincible treble...

  5. Hugo Ekitike | Chelsea, Liverpool & Arsenal linked

    I still think it's more likely Chelsea would use Ekitike from the left behind Delap/Jackson. He's got the defensive work-rate and played there very effectively for Frankfurt before Marmoush left.

    This is Chelsea; it's an 8 year contract or it's loan terminated I'm afraid

    Lovely way for him to sign off

  9. Liam Delap | Ornstein: Delap is going to Chelsea

    Hmm? He played from the left quite a bit, especially before Marmoush left. Personally I think he'd be a lot more effective in that left channel instead of as a lone striker in the PL.

  10. Liam Delap | Ornstein: Delap is going to Chelsea

    I think Ekitike is being viewed as the first choice for the LW spot for Chelsea, which would make a lot more sense than signing him as a striker when he's frankly pretty flimsy physically.

  11. Club ownership | Senior management team talk

    Just to circle back on this, very interesting and detailed piece in The Athletic about this consultant's role and the impact she had: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6380839/2025/05/28/kirsten-heukels-manchester-united-body-language-expert-criticised-by-ratcliffe-tells-of-her-role-in-fa-cup-glory/

  12. Club ownership | Senior management team talk

    Don't understand this - United beat both Brighton and Coventry in shootouts during this period, the latter of which led directly to European football. So if the consultant played any part in improving United's approach to taking penalties, they definitely paid for themselves several times over...

  13. Chelsea 2024/25

    ...what? Cherki is orders of magnitude slower than Rodrygo. Dismissing him as a "technical winger" and even putting him in the same bucket as Cherki and Yildiz is crazy. Sesko and Ekitike both have expensive Bundesliga flop written all over them. Both are not nearly technical enough right now...

  14. Enzo Maresca - Chelsea manager - Sack watch

    I just really don't understand how anyone can look at how we played this year vs last year and argue in good faith that Maresca was a downgrade on Poch.

  15. Chelsea 2024/25

    I'm extremely lukewarm on Sesko to be honest. If he's really available I think Rodrygo could be transformative for us from the left wing out of all the mooted options.
