Re: Cole Palmer

If he has been promised 1st team playing time by Poch (known for developing youth) then that is probably something that can't be offered by Pep with Haaland and Alverez delivering as they are who are only 23 years of age themselves. £42m probably has the British (and Chelsea) premium attached but I ...

Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.

VK has said we will change our system 3 or 4 times in a game if we need to. That's not what I meant. What I meant is that I can't see VK going back to a rigid back 4 like SD used to play. As you say, the players he has can change formations to do subtle system changes in a game. I can only conclude...

Judging from the description on ssn it was a penalty won by a forward deliberately dangling his foot out and going down.
