OFFICIAL FOOTY THREAD ⚽️: 2024/25 European club season underway

The Sterling situation seems a natural outcome of the most scattergun recruitment strategy in history

Starting Modric is nonsense, he's 38, he came on yesterday for control and no control happened. There's better players who should come off the bench first. Once we get in match shape things will look better. Rudiger or Carvajal couldn't complete a pass in the second half, that's tiredness.

We need to go back to a 4-4-2.

The 2 guys up top allowed to flow freely with Jude feeding them and Tchouameni, Valverde, and Camavinga (when fit) doing the dirty work in the midfield.

What’s the price for Osimhen gonna be? Value is definitely lower than before

Can any Chelsea fan breakdown the current strategy, seriously?

Can Boehly?

That offer truly is insulting. City let Gundogan go on a free transfer

Stocking up on players for a potential 2yr transfer ban

Can any Chelsea fan breakdown the current strategy, seriously?

I have no proof this is just speculation, aside from a few articles I've read:

Young guys are bought and given long contracts, making their weekly pay lower.

- If they pan out, keep for first team or flip for big profit down the line

- Don't pan out, sell at a loss but due to low weekly wages won't cause as much damage (in theory, especially since no one has been sold yet but it'll happen
eventually)

- Other guys will never play for first team, so generate a loan fee, then sell for profit (Diego Moreira as of last week)

- Guys on oversized contracts get forced out (Sterling, Chilwell, Lukaku)

- Guys on reasonable contracts but don't want to increase their wages get forced out (Gallagher, Chalobah)

Palmer, Nkunku and Felix are just redundant skillsets, I don’t understand this one at all
