Good signing for Chelsea because they definitely needed more squad depth
You’re joking right 😂😂
I hear they want Jadon Sancho also. They want to collect all the broken toys 🤦♂
😂😂 They'll sign ref ugees too
😂😂 They'll sign ref ugees too
Too much of the same type of player's
“Sold your soul?” Working 40 hours a week at 12.50 is actually selling your soul. Absurd.
Gundugan getting the same treatment that Messi and Xavi got at the end, absolutely disgraceful and a big warning for future players thinking to go to Barca.
pretty appauling; Barca's reputation has taken quite a few hits the past number of years
This isn't a Barca thing though, it's a La Liga thing. Remember how Madrid treated Casillas, Ramos and even Ronaldo
Barca is a joke.
Gundo is out of flicks plan
Even tho i dont like it
It is what it is
You and your father will run mad you this foolish human being 😡😡😡😡
Frank staying quiet when Craig said you’ve sold you’re sole once you go to Saudi 😂😂😂
Did Frank go to Saudi?
@@alaska4joe Yes, but he only had to sell one sole. Frank still has his soul
@@bigtate1439 not Saudi Qatar
So, Craig isn't selling his soul in the US?? Why isn't he resting at home with his kids?
That's a naive comment by Craig. The money is too much to ignore, especially when you know they have 0 taxes and their league is actually getting stronger. Yea life sucks and there's not much to do, but I reckon that's how life for a footballer is in Europe anyway, I don't think they go out that much to public places during the season. So they're paid more, a lot more, not a bad quality of football. Why is it a bad thing?
Saying that Felix struggled at Chelsea is an understatement. The whole team struggled and he was one of our better player at the second half of the season. Number 2 considering how injury prone our squad was last season, this signing makes perfect sense.
Whats up clearlake cheerleader. Enjoyed the last match?
@@noone-zv4ip what does that even mean? Is there anything he said that is wrong?
@@noone-zv4ipso will u judge the whole season because of one Match.... You are a joke 😂😂
Gundogan was Barca’s best midfielder last season and arguably best player in general last season. He played most of the games, 14 assists and 5 goals second best g+a season for him. The issue isn’t him being able to handle it physically, the issue is that Barca wasn’t able to push out Frenkie, Araujo, and one of Ferran or Raphinha.
This is somewhat true but gundo is also out of flicks plan
It is what it is
Gundo was also voted the second best player in La Liga just behind Bellingham.
It's not about being able to handle it physically. It's how suitable he is for Flick's system compared to Xavi's system
@@ishaandw bruh let's be real, he's gone because barca needs the room for Olmo, that's the only thing mandatory in their eyes. And the argument "Gundo is not suitable for flick's plan" is just you guys trying to rationalized things, it maybe true to some degree, but obviously not the main reason given his contribution last season
@@bosenngantor9160 Need room for Olmo is a lie. Barca need to get rid of the wage is true though alongside the fact that he's 4th choice in his best position
Rival fans are enjoying Chelsea's struggles, but they're overlooking something crucial: Chelsea is not far from returning to the top four. In my view, this team is just one or two players away from becoming a young powerhouse. What makes them even more dangerous is their youth; they have the time and space to make mistakes, grow, and develop both individually and as a team.
Looking at Chelsea objectively, they are a squad of young, talented players at the beginning of their careers and long-term contracts. If they continue to develop, by the time they're midway through their careers, they'll have ironed out the typical early mistakes. With these long contracts, Chelsea has the flexibility to refine and strengthen both the team and the club as a whole.
Yes, the losses, lack of trophies, and absence from the Champions League hurts, but this is part of the growing pains. I believe Chelsea is ahead of their time. If this team clicks, they’ll be a force to reckon with-and they’re not far from doing just that. The aggressive criticism from rival fans on platforms like RUclips only reinforces my point; they’re clearly concerned and trying to destabilize Chelsea’s fan base. Their efforts are so transparent, they don’t even realize how desperate they appear.
Considering that Arsenal are struggling to win despite having a clear opportunity-especially with Manchester City's aging squad and both Manchester United and Liverpool in rebuilding phases-Chelsea's acquisition of such a large pool of young talent is incredibly fortunate. They've essentially secured the next generation of football stars.
In conclusion, while rival fans may relish Chelsea's current struggles, they fail to see the bigger picture. Chelsea's strategic investment in young talent has set the stage for a resurgence that could dominate the next era of football. As Arsenal, Manchester United, and Liverpool navigate their own challenges, Chelsea's young squad has the potential to grow into a formidable force. The temporary setbacks they face now are simply part of the process. With time on their side and a clear vision for the future, Chelsea is positioning itself to reclaim its place at the top-and when they do, the rest of the Premier League will have a lot to contend with.
One or two 2️⃣ player since and yet they go into the season and sign rubbish
Well this is the problem "Looking at Chelsea objectively, they are a squad of young, talented players at the beginning of their careers and long-term contracts. If they continue to develop, by the time they're midway through their careers, they'll have ironed out the typical early mistakes. With these long contracts, Chelsea has the flexibility to refine and strengthen both the team and the club as a whole."

That isn't going to happen. They spent big on Lavia (€62m), Caicedo (€116m), Enzo (€121m) but also spent money on Dewsbury-Haal (€35m), Renato Veiga (€14m), Kellyman (€22m), and they will at most give playing time and the chance to develop for 2-3 players, that's a minimum of €70m on the bench/out of the squad
They spent big on Sterling (€55m), Mudryk (€70m), Nkunku (€60m), Palmer (€47), Neto (€60m), Madueke (€35m) and now Joao Felix, again 7 players where at most 3 get regular game time. Do you think they can sell Mudryk or Sterling for anywhere close to a profit when they have 3 and 6 years left of their contract? And not forgetting they also have spent money on even more young talent in Kellyman (€22,m), Estevao (€34m), Paze (€18m) Angelo (€15m). Again, one thing is saying you are going to develop these players, but 10+ players competing for at most 3 spots means they won't get the game time and need to be sold or loaned out have a chance to develop. And then we are back to not having clubs willing to pay the same Chelsea spent purchasing them for. We have already seen that happen with Koulibaly (bought for €42m sold for €21 a year later).
Last year Chelsea sold of some big assests like Havertz and Mount (from their own academy) and this year they've been desperate to sell academy players like Gallagher and Chalobah jus because they need to balance those books when spending so much on new "talent". The problem is in 1 to 2 years time the number of academy players that have broken through and got to play for Chelsea could have drastically reduced and then the whole scheme collapses (buy new talent, develop, sell on for profit).
@@axels9179 My friend, thank you for responding to my post. I agree that Chelsea’s approach is highly unconventional and filled with uncertainties. Not only has this strategy never been attempted before, but it also lacks a proven track record of success. However, what I believe Chelsea is trying to do is buy up young, talented, although unproven, players with high potential from around the world at relatively low prices. By signing them to long-term contracts, Chelsea is buying time-time to develop these players or sell them at a profit if they don't succeed within the team. During the preseason, Chelsea seems to be rigorously assessing these players, weeding out those who can't rise to the challenge. Those who don't make the cut are either sold or sent out on loan.
I don’t view sending players out on loan as a negative. On the contrary, they continue to earn their wages while gaining valuable minutes on the pitch, which is crucial for their development. Playing in different leagues and experiencing various cultures can make them more well-rounded players. The responsibility, therefore, lies with the players-they must strive to improve and seize the opportunity to be successful.
Overall, I believe this approach could make Chelsea a much more competitive team. By assembling a pool of the best young talent from around the world and letting them compete for a place in the first team, Chelsea is ensuring that only the cream of the crop survives. Don’t get me wrong-this is a ruthless approach, but no one is acknowledging the significant risk Chelsea is taking by investing in young, unproven talent. The risks are high, but so are the potential rewards if the strategy succeeds.
I could be wrong, but if Chelsea is indeed securing the best young talent globally, what does that mean for other teams? They might end up with the leftovers. If Chelsea dominates the market for young talent over the next two or three years, other teams may struggle to keep up, leaving Chelsea in a strong position. Currently, only Real Madrid and Manchester City are successfully employing a similar multi-club system.
You mentioned Mudryk and Sterling, and I agree this is where Chelsea’s strategy leaves room for error. They won’t always get it right, as evidenced by Sterling’s contract, which has proven to be a costly mistake. However, it’s important to note that Sterling’s contract was signed before Chelsea adopted their current focus on youth and lower wages.
Signing 5 players every season won't get you back this team ain't going to gel with all these signings
Felix is finally free of Atletico to put himself into Chelsea's hands for 6 years. Amazing choice.
Chelsea are ruthless.. they don't let him stay for 6years if he sucks for 2seasons in a row.. they offload him/sell.. just like Lukaku,Havertz,Werner,Zyach,Aubamyang... etc... it's not ManchesterUnited where they let Mctomainy and Maguire/Rashofrd + Lingard stay for 10years lol
@@zorashkiBut in this case, these players are on long contracts & have the leverage. There's a reason no club has signed players on 7 to 9 years contract. Think Gareth bale!
@@theforceisstrong_1000this are young players, they care about there career and will go somewhere else to play, people sticking and sulking are older players who knows they won’t get such Juicy deal elsewhere, they’ll better stay and earn the money, Gareth Bale, Hazard, Malouda, and Sterling can do it now, but as for the young players Chelsea got them on the hook.
@@theforceisstrong_1000 You think they are that stupid to give 7 years contract without putting like after 3years there is a clause that they can sell him or something? they are not dumb.

Craig might just be the biggest fool of the 21st century
And that would make you an even bigger fool for continuing to watch him. If you consider him a fool why watch? No one is tying you to a chair and taping your eyes open mate. Watch something else.
Barcelona are in shambles! Letting Gundogan go it's a disgrace!!
Gundogan is 34 in about a month. Just let him retire in peace to MLS or the Saudi Pro League.

This commentators saying he shouldnt go to the middle east calling it a downgrade smh. Like if a Middle East station offered one of them millions to come commentate (which they will never offer), they won't leave ESPN and jump on that opportunity.
Dont even take them on. They all frighten and threatened by the saudi take over. It may take years or not. But they all are afraid and jealous bad.
True
But it is a downgrade just because the money is good doesn't mean it's good quality
But he isn't lying, it is a big downgrade in terms of quality of teams and players across the board
ESPN is also a downgrade when you line up other footballing commentaries and news discuss
Guodugan can't play the high press system ! You need runners ... he is a perfect player, but he messed it up for him in Germany
Played for city for a decade and won everything. What u on about ? May be stick to basketball?
Gundogan can't press? He played in a Guardiola system for years and was the Barca player that covered the highest distance on the pitch last year.
what messed up in germany???/ He has 1 goal 1 assist and 1 potm
Captain of peps city can't play in high press system? 😂😂😂😂😂
Gundogan should go to Saudi Arabia instead of City.
Barcelona letting him go is a good one. He did well last season but not the best. Moreover he's 33 years-old.
What a waste of time with Gundogan, wish him the best wherever he ends up next
The bloke's talking about "you sold your soul" as if the ESPN he works for is a bastion for all that is good and holy.
It is amazing these pundits STILL cannot fathom what Chelsea’s plan is. It’s like they won’t even try to figure it out. SMH
It’s actually pretty simple.
1) The agreement to purchase included a requirement for new owners to spend £1.5B in first 3 yrs.
2) They want to buy other clubs so they need to fund that as well as have places to go for all the young super talent they are acquiring while they develop.
3) They want wages to be incentive based vs pay huge salaries as previous owner did. ( also makes it easier to sell players in future)
4) New FFP rules are kicking in next season that limit a club to spend only 85% of what they bring in and Chelsea will be at a major disadvantage vs other big clubs with large stadiums…so there is a practical need to stack talent now under old rules. This will help them compete for championships when they have less to spend than rival clubs.
5) You spend £200M to buy 20 lottery tickets in young super talented players and your odds of finding a few superstars goes up exponentially… more than making up for initial cost.
Thank you for this explanation
Fair enough! But the downside of this strategy is these young talented kids on long contracts could loose motivation to become superstars & then the club is stuck with deadwood.🤔
@@theforceisstrong_1000man all this hypothetical shi doesn’t matter, sure that might happen to some but others could see the project as a sort of Blue Lock, where only the best are able to take Chelsea to the level of Real Madrid and Man City
Someone needs to play fm25 in November and simulate five seasons and see how Chelsea develop in terms of league positions and squad development
@@theforceisstrong_1000it’s high risk
Embarrassing segment from these “pundits”
What is Ferran Torres still doing at Barça?
Gundugan returning to man city is great but Felix returning to chelsea is shocking. ESPN will never cease to amaze me. Could you guys please leave chelsea alone ?😂
LOL, you lot are more delusional than Arsenal fans sometimes. They are right. It is shocking, and a stupid move. Chelsea doesn't need Felix. It is a stupid transfer that's not going to pay off.
@@SomethingSomewhereJustOnceyou're very ignorant on anything Chelsea 😂😂😂... just be quiet and go watch some golf or go kart racing
Thank you for getting felix or his agent would have managed a loan to barca
I was thinking boehly could sign a pundit for positive comments for chelsea..
Why would you sign someone worse than nkunku into nkunkus best position
Felix Is Pure Class, at the end of season He will Have 10+ Goals & Assists at Chelsea.
Will he see game time among 43 players? I dont think chelsea even plays in europe.
@@mnemonijaChelsea has 25-28 players in the first team. Stop peddling media nonsense 😂... these guys always go for sensational gossip.
10 combined goals and assists? Like 6 goals and 4 assists? Is this a good stat for an elite forward?
@@mnemonijasome of you guys like feeding into foolish narratives in the media. What makes you think in your head chelsea will have 40 players in the squad. They will have 23 or 25 players when the window end. Stop being gullible and feeding into stupid narratives
@@ogagaerebor Can you name these 25-28 players?
Sanchez, Jørgensen, Petrovic (not mentioning Bettinelli, Kepa and Bergström) - 3 keepers (6)
Colwill, Disasi, Badiashile, Fofana, Tosin (and Humphreys, not mentioning Chalobahl) - 5 (6)
Gusto, James, Cucurella, Chilwell (and Acheampong) - 4 (5)
Caicedo, Enzo, Lavia, Renato Veiga, Dewbury-Hall, Casadei, Chukwuemeka, Kellyman, Anjorin - 9
Palmer, Mudryk, Neto, Madueke, Nkunku (and George and Angelo, not mentioning Sterling ) - 5 (7)
Jackson, Guiu, Washington, Joao Felix*, (Oshimen?) (not mentioning Lukaku, Fofana and Broja) . 4 (5)
That's 30 players at the bare minimum and factor in that they are succesful in shifting several players (like Sterling, Lukaku, Chalobah, Fofana etc)
i hope gundogan to man city and shut of this mouth thiss pundit. a midfielder doesn't need a lot of running but only needs creative passing etc. There are many examples such as Pirlo, Giggs, KDB, Kroos, Modric, David Silva, Iniesta, Busquet, Rakitic etc. Their quality is still maintained even though they are 30+
shows ESPN Chelsea negativity by criticizing a transfer that is a upgrade. Conor < Felix.
Nkunku hasn't looked great? 😂 man these guys are clowns.
Todd Boehly treating this squad building ting like is Pokémon..."gotta catch em all!"
Lol stop giving him more ideas because he will actually try to catch em all
Clueless murican. You not boehly
City have not brought in a replacement for Gundo since the left which is a player who can cover for Rodri here and there while also ply in the 8 and the 10. We’ve all seen what happens to City with no Rodri: 100% loss record. Up until a few days ago, City were going to do nothing. So please explain to me how Gundo as a short term replacement is a bad thing in lieu of the fact that City we’re going to do nothing this season yet again??
Also, he got 17GA in his last season with us and while being in a disjointed Barca side, he managed 19GA last season. He’s never been the fastest player but he’s always had a great footballing IQ which can absolutely help make up for marginal physical deficiencies relative to younger players. Maybe that’s why he is such a talented box crasher. Not bc he’s so fast, but bc he pops up in all the small spaces the defense overlooks or doesn’t see. That’s experience and skill and that’s worth a lot
Rodri didnt play in the last match and they won with a clean sheet 😅😅
@@hawk2328 🤔 Now why would I say something that is 100% if I was referencing this season you absolute fool. Clearly I was referencing last season
If it was up to me and I could get Gundogan to City at reasonable terms and wages, I would not hesitate. It's a long season, injuries to key players are highly likely, and there is room in the squad now that Alvarez and Phillips are gone. Gundogan was key for them when they won the treble, and I don't see any signs of some visible decline in his abilities.
Aston villa should look around
Atleti did not want Gallagher unless Chelsea bought a player from them. Chelsea net +42m incoming, Chelsea spend 10.4m annually over the next 5 years.
Chelsea registered +31.6m in profit, they sent Gallagher to a club that perfectly suits his play style, and acqured a highly marketable player who is able to slot in multiple positions in the attack.
I hope this helps! Feel free to reference this the next time you feel the urge to say:
"I dont understand what Chelsea are doing."
"Can someone please explain to me what chelsea are doing?"
"Help. My mediocre playing career in the 90s did not prepare me to speak about the evolving landscape of football operations,I am afraid of change, and ESPN rewards me for my ignorant outbursts."
"Chelsea are a dumpster fire."
"Chelsea are a car crash."
See you tomorrow! ❤
The reason is purely a financial one actually. Getting €42M in for hardworking Gallagher and paying €8.8M (after divided by 6years) for the erratic Felix. So for the books this year, it was a great deal. The keyword being 'this year'... lol! Without a doubt, the main winner here is Atletico for sure.
Gundo handles pressure and has the upmost experience. Behind the scenes he is more of an asset, he can easily transition into a coaching role. We aren't bringing him back to play week in week out. Easy decision for Pep and City
So frank really rated Felix for Porto. If he can manage to get the number he achieved. When in reality he was a player for Benfica wouldn’t it be more beneficial to know what teams he played for. The pundits on here are basically bang average players who are bitter about the club career that they won nothing to make a big deal about. Even the way frank won a World Cup is a joke because of the embarrassing way blanc was sent off in the semifinal which was the only reason he played in that team. Burley’s was a journey man and he put down fa cup winner in his career achievement but he didn’t even get to the subs bench.
At the end Jorge Mendes always wins.. Don't underestimate the power of super agent 😅
Joao Felix also scored very important goals for Barca last season in both La Liga and Champions League. When commentators start dumping on a player, they will never stop, even when the player plays otherwise.
It clearly wasn't enough, right now Felix is a squad player with a couple of good moments... You can't play at the highest level with that
He is a on and off player
You might get 6 good games from him throughout the season or even 10 if you are lucky
Not good enough for top level
But for chelsea it maybe is an alright deal
If youre in your mid 30s you should be allowed to cash in and get that final bag
Bring Osimen already we need a n9 amd while u r at it bring a world class central defender too Jesus Christ
Hold on, are these guys seriously sitting there and saying that, in terms of football skill, Felix is not an upgrade on Gallagher?
But there two different players Chelsea has basically 4 players who play the dame Chelsea going to be shambles when the season is over watch
This is the same guys who said Chelsea won’t finish in top 8 last season that Chelsea are signing bulshit and Chelsea end up in 6th even higher that united this guys are business men and they know what they are doing
Should Joao Felix score 15 goals and have 8 assists or so, these pundits won't apologise...they will just find another reason to bash Chelsea.
As men, they can only dream of being in the position of Clearlake's bosses and, as former players, they'd be lying if they don't admit they would do anything for Felix's contract.
There is a envy and confusion.
He has the talent to achieve those numbers over his 6 year contract. Better odds are he'll be on loan elsewhere within 18 months.
It's open season to bash Chelsea, it's deserved.
It's not about Felix or Neto or any of the other players... It's about the huge number of signings of players who play more or less the same position. Players need playing time. Some of those players will not have any and if each game a set of them plays, the team will never be built. Players build chemistry and get better in matches not on the training ground.
@madhatter113 Almost everything that is happening with Chelsea's squad today, happened back in 2003-2006.
Chelsea players deemed not good enough for the 25-man squad will be sold/loaned out in order to play...which is easier when the players are young and not on massive wages (despite inaccurate media reports).
Lastly, please stop parroting football clichés... Footballers train/study five times as much as they play games - the games are evidence/the result of improvement during training.
Are you serious? Look at Chelsea 's roster and tell me, If you see any logic in it. 6 years for Felix, is insane at best..
I totally agree with Craig. But He is underestimating Gundogon. He can be used as a joker for Barcelona.
How can you say signing Felix doesn’t make sense. ESPN needs to filter their analysts.
Football is evolving; titles, investment, innovation and sustainability are what CFC has brought to the game. It’s business unusual, so people will make all sorts of comments because it’s new to them. Soon, other clubs will start to copy the CFC model in term of the accounting and sustainability. What CFC is doing today is the future of football. The project is real and will soon start to see the positive result.
Basically, the model is The buying & selling of humans for profit for large corporations, with London at the epicentre. Masked as "football future" taken largely from a 16-19th century model, also with an epicenter in London.
History repeats.
Chelsea just need an auction block to complete the mood.
Palmer played on the right all last season 😂
Exactly. But they're set to rinse that central position for Palmer nonsense over and over.
That is what I found wrong about Craig is statement 😂😂palmer had played right wing and had a free role in cutting inside when gusto would move up 😂
Exactly what I thought. Burley always bitter about Chelsea
Joe Felix needs to show.He loves the sport.
Great player signed. He will score atleast 10 goals and create similar assists in 6 years
I’m a Barca fan and this guy was worth his wait in gold don’t know why they don’t want him too sad
Any team will want gundogan
The lemmings criticising Felix love to parrot the prevailing click baiting narrative. The bums he played with in his previous Chelsea stint would make Pele look pedestrian.
Gondogan still has 2 or 3 really good years in him!
Burley saying Nkunku hasn't looked great, what planet you living on mate
I’ll come back to this after Felix sets the EPL on fire
Stop the nonsense, Craig. Last season Palmer played and produced his best performances from the right, not from a central position.
IKR also he’s gonna drift inside because James or Gusto will overlap a lot. I still don’t like the signing but not because
of Palmer. I just don’t think Felix is reliable and we have a lot of players who occupy the same space
These pundits said Chelsea were crazy to part with Pochettino.
These pundits say Maresca is crazy if he plays Felix at #10 and Palmer on the right.
Pochettino played Gallagher at #10 and Palmer on the right for 30 league games.
Gallagher has been replaced by Lavia in the starting lineup, and Lavia is a better player... Felix will compete for a place at #10 or on the left, and who knows, he could unlock Palmer like Madueke did.
This show isn't quite the level without passionate monologues from Craig
Omg these analysts do not watch the games… Nkunku was one of our best players. Felix was one of our better players under a bad system. Also the club is not dying, when you realize that most of the players bought are to be sold in a couple of years to create more funds so we can spend money freely and not be like Man U, the fast you’ll understand the method to the madness and that it might be genius
The pundits won't say a word against the Barca team and their board member for the miss management at all but will blame a player for coming out and pointing out the mistake that he sees in the team.
Signing of Felix means Mudryk will be sold for 30mil (if anyone is crazy enough to pay that) to Arsenal probably, so at least Craig and the gang won't have to complain about that guy being a deer in headlights anymore. They keep buying wingers and cams while a proper world class striker isn't in the squad.
What has Craig or whatever he calls himsef have against Nkunku?
The only thing that makes sense is Chelsea must be money laundering. Nothing else adds up with those kinds of contracts and recruitment. 😂😂
Chelsea trying everything possible to be competitive again yet they fail. they need to learn that it's not about Big names... it's all about the good manager + chemistry.. look at What klopp did.
Felix is an upgrade from Jackson as a number 9 .
1 game n he has not find best position for palmer😅 bro there more than 50 games left
Not a Chelsea fan but it seems like they could line up in a 4-3-1-2 pretty nicely with Felix and Nkuku up top and Palmer floating around behind them. It seems like that would allow Felix and Nkuku to do what they do best attacking from slightly off center.
Didn’t Chelsea already find out that Joao Felix won’t fix their issues?
The sad part is that we going to be forced to see enzo with the armband, cole palmer right wing when we want him as a cam and joa felix and nkuku going to play number 10 and number 9 role and interchange. Neto as left wing.. that is what chelsea looking like they going to do next game😢 the only way to help this is to play a back 3 where enzo could olay in a pivot with lavia. Cole palmer and felix play as cams behind a striker and two wingers olay like neto and madueke
Signing Felix makes so much sense. It's both for depth considering the number of games this season and for quality considering the injury prone nature of the squad. It's now up to the coach to find the system that works.
The ones other than frank on this show are clowns. Felix is an extremely talented footballer who has been on loans from Atletico where he didn’t have a great relatrelationship with Simeone. Besides, Felix’s season at Chelsea wasn’t bad given he was there for half a season and his performance is not reflected in numbers.
They are just yapping not looking at other hidden factors surrounding the club and transfers
4:21 apparently the greatest manager of this generation has taken that chance
This disrespect of Gundogan has to end. He was very good last year and tried to be a leader at Barca. Shame on him? I guarantee he has “more in the tank” 🫣
Exactly. He also got 19GA last season too.
Not just very good he was the best player last season. Anyone who says otherwise plays too much FIFA or doesn’t watch matches.
@@LeominsterFC Nice. As a City fan, I obviously watch every game and can speak volumes about Gundo. But didn’t watch any Barca games last season so no idea how he actually did outside statistics. Great to know he was one of the best players at Barca. So happy he’s coming back (hopefully).🤞
@@MCFCTheMadHatter He tried to be a leader for the younger players but Barca currently has no structure compared to City. It’s a circus inside the club. Xavi wanted him and with him gone and Olmo signed it became complicated. If it goes through they might as well give City the title again. Won’t fuss about playing time, leader, knows the system and players.
@@LeominsterFC he's not very good as you think, gavi is better than him, he played most of the games because others where Injured.
ESPN pundits have neuer made effort to understand what is happening in Chelsea before criticising the Club. John Felix to Chelsea was a swap deal that helps Chelsea get good value for Gallager instead of him going for free.
Nico had 15 goals last season
That is about Nunez level and he gets bashed left right and center
Didn't Palmer play on the right lat season?
This is why you see players at another career have played for too many teams.What happened to loyalty 1 or 2 club
Joao Felix to Chelsea should be a no-go
Why
@Zen-mo1or He was pretty underwhelming the last time he was there, and to be honest, that's not really his fault Chelsea just love ruining players🤣
@@VeloceFirstTM well...I'd like to think this time will be different
Absolutely why waste your career in a sell out league
Chelsea has become a "grab all you can without plan club."
Athletico Madrid is going crazy having been able to have sold that spoiled baby boy.
What a joke.
Chelsea fans appreciate felix, he initially got a red card but his attitude on point.
Mbappe been hyped for years but I can't remember him doing anything for club or country for couple of years, ordinary.
Barca and Chelsea are two Peas in a pot
Where is he gonna play ? If we get Victor it's not all been a waste
So 53m euros for Joa Felix
Plus the 11 million they paid for his loan last season?
Yes AND sell on fee
Can't wait to hear this lot cry more when chelsea signs osimhen 😂😂😂
The fact that Chelsea was crazy enough to pay over 50M plus add on and a 20% of a possible trade after the player has underperformed for 5 years at 3 clubs plus a national team, stays that either Atleti from office its business genius or Chelsea are terrible in all areas now.
Agree with everything except one thing the matches i saw chelsea play last seasom palmer always started at RW and drifting in central position so why are they exaggerating this that chelsea will force him to play RW this season when last season he also played in the same position and had amazing season.
Maybe they are trying to swap Cancelo for Gundogan??
i usually don't criticize the pundits but atleti and chelsea basically swapped players so they essentially paid a little above 10 mil for felix so i don't get why they're over exaggerating about the fee
3:10 Craig I agree, BUT THE ECONOMY IS NOT THE SAME IT IS WAY MORE EXPENSIVE 25 million after you retire could disappear if you not careful. The world is no longer affordable
When you make that amount of money the world is absolutely affordable lmao he is not making middle class type of money
I knew he will eventually mention Chelsea in a banter commonnnn. He was talking about gundogan and then he was mentioning Chelsea
The coach doesn’t want him, not Barcelona,so stop trying to link everything to Barcelona.. and craig is one person who is very truthful with his analysis
Even by Football Manager standards Chelsea's transfer policy is bonkers
Hey Craig, we need a return of a dedicated positivity CORNER for Chelsea
Totally agree with Craig's unflattering take on Felix.
As a lifelong Barca fan, I saw Felix contribute nothing to Barca's performance: N-O-T-H-I-N-G.
And he was consistently hit-and-miss at Atletico. SMH.
From what is happening the owners don't really care what happens on the pitch,they want to buy players give them long contracts and sell high knowing that players with long contracts won't be sold cheap
Felix was the last of Chelsea's problems 2y ago, he was the only one trying
I think Chelsea are 15-20 signings from rlly hitting their stride
For all the gundogan lawyers please you can sign him if you want.
Don't mind them.
They are all Barca haters who doesn’t know anything about the club and waiting to criticise every activity Barca does whether positive or negative, don’t mind them😜😂
Chelsea still haven't addressed the biggest gap in their squad. That of an attacking midfielder
??? They have their best player cole palmer
@@emanuelenicolo6131 sarcasm bro...
I think Ilkay will sign one year at City. 2025 Pep will leave City and Ilkay will replace Pep....Time will tell.
Why is Cole Palmer played on the wing instead of the middle? Well because every time he has played in the middle he has been easier to mark and struggled to deal with the added pressure of that position where he is marked tightly and finds himself surrounded with little time and space, so his goal and assist rate goes down. The solution then is to put him on the wing where he is a bigger threat offensively as he has more space and time on the ball, but the problem there is that does not have the speed to counter attack, is asked to spend a lot of time on the touch line during attacks so as to stretch the width of the pitch and create space in the center. And we can't forget wingers are expected to track back and help the defense which Palmer has no interest in. With these points in mind, the manager has chosen to put him on the wing. Peace and love
Ateliti: we will sell you felix for 40 mil,
Chelsea: we will give you 50..
Atelti: Deal
Chelsea: Deal
Atletic: *LOL
Listening to those guys is making me laugh!!! It'll be even funnier when they won't know what to say later in the season...
The truth is I have done this on fifa with players I can't extend 😂😂😂so I understand what they did
LOL... Chelsea will NOT be top 5 this year... Take it to the bank... Is it any wonder why Poch left on his own accord?
