Worst scout to ever exist
It's not a problem for Badiashlie really other than Thiago being at the edge of a cliff really. Obviously won't last too much longer, and he's more just unknown but it's fine next to Thiago Silva.Don't disagree with much of that. Only thing I'd say is Madueke's ball retention was encouraging for the most part - but he still looks like he's playing tentatively.
Mudryk is suffering from Cucurella being so shit. Badiashile as well is having to do a lot to cover and has been mightily impressive I'd say - but yes he's definitely benefiting from Silva's ability to organise a defense.
Madueke is definitely a long term project, it was a weird signing as it's not like he had settled into being class for PSV... He was a young project there still, who had loads of injuries. So of course will take time at Chelsea. Mudryk I think is a similar case. The huge fee confused people into thinking he's ready, when in reality many analytics folk were saying that Mudryks stats in the Ukrainian league were that of a very inconsistent, sloppy player. Huge amount of turnovers, not much other than the threat in behind and he's only got like what, 12 goals in his career? Rashford has more since the world Cup! He's a project that may or may not work out, but the fee is a must work out fee. Antony's fee is the same, though Antony's current level was far higher than Mudryks IMO (something that the analytics folk back too). You'd have been better off spending that amount for Leao.
