Fanfiction, Agents commissions and Stamford the Lion
Fanfiction, Agents commissions and Stamford the Lion. Which one is real ?
I already published a (very) long read to break down how the Chelsea squad building looked like a car crash in December 2023 and delivered… what a concept car with no airbag would give you : 60+ goals conceded, 105 yellow cards, and a guy sent home playing Fortnite (that’s maybe why he didn’t complete 10 career games before his 100 million transfer).
This one below goes more in depth how the synergy can’t work, is uncannily close to a good squad building, with red flags that are impossible to ignore when put together, and point towards it being systemic per design as part of a larger (and spookier) strategy and not conjunctural. PE have bought clubs in France in the past decade, and there’s a longer sample size to realise why (even) the Land of the Free is capping PE at 10% of sport franchises on the other side of the pond. Cultural heritage matters when it’s ours, when it’s someone else’s well we can turn it into a parking lot. Then sell it to ourselves.
Two years later, they’re still scrambling to assemble half the starting lineup which means that either they’re compulsive shoppers who need therapy ; or they realise they bought donkeys.
The theory that they mastered the art of “pumping and dumping” fails to account the fact that they so far (and for a while) only sold players :
that were there before them (Gallagher, Mount),
with a profit on book value on Casadei (half a million) slimmer than Hugo Ekitike (big fucker who scores, hard currency to get rid of in football, it’s like an US dollar in Panama)
to themselves (with the Strasbourg FlixBus junction).
None of their signings will ever make a profit let alone crack the 65 bar point in the League (roughly failing to win half the games).
For the sake of “what if I was in charge” ; backed by years of setting up an entire U19 program in 4 different organisations from scratch, and seeing a dozen of players being either professional or internationals from grassroots from the lot.
With not a full starting XI of people I can deflect blame on for signings that don’t work out.
Fan fiction
Specky financial analysts thinking you can sign second rate U23 talent on lower wages, pumped up by micro-influencers on payroll, dumb enough to accept being banned for the competitions they might get incentives for (Badiashile in CL, Palmer in ECL - both saw through it, and it reflected on their form). PSG have been using influencers on payroll. Chelsea are too, with the bunch of “CFC[name] who all popped up in the last year. And the whole Tactacfoot staff burner gimmick that was finally halted.
And then dump them like some next Dubaï based influencer, selling snake oil for $200 a flask because oh surprise - Talent Scout power ranking sock puppet accounts constantly have three players in their top 10. Shame the Premier League YPOTY don’t feature any of them.
Not enough is made of the fact that BlueCo’s “Best U23 project in World Football” have merely two players in the Golden Boy top 100 : Carlos Vanarama somewhere around 60th, and Andrey Santos (set to be sold because he’ll make the other 3 look bad). Every generation has a Franco Di Santo / Orlando Sa signed because they’re an oversized striker that exhilirates narrative thirsty fanfiction savvy scouts. See where dey play, if dey play, ow dey play.
How do you get rid of a 100 million scrub, who’s amortisation is longer than Enzo Fernandez’s average first touch when it’s not stuck under his foot? The book value of a 8 year contract is decaying slower than Tosin beaten with a long ball in behind holding Maresca’s offside trap in the opposition half.
Or unlikely : trusting jumped up analysts who never built a squad because they might have kept a USB stick with a few player shortlists. The closest of them arrived after the battle on the South coast after a decade of London based recruitment deliveing 0 Youth League and 0 FA Youth Cups, and was told to stay away from the training groud before Chelsea (6 FAYC, 4 YL finals) poached him.
To build a squad based on tactico drivel they’re actually subscribing to. Surprise, it’s a car crash. Congratulation to the 4th wagebill for kicking the bag of banknotes over the line and finishing… 4th.
Working with the same set of agents, or one day figuring out it’s the case: this is a larger scale FC Nantes, who paid a striker 80k a month to train with the bomb squad for the best part of his 5 year contract after a transfer from Belgium.
Fantasy football requires missing pieces of the puzzle. Continuously.
Three legged ducks, preferably. Quicker than Wesley Fofana kind of vibe.
More transfers, more commissions, more friends. More friends, more transfers.
You get the drill. Chelsea paid 75 million agent fees in 2023-24, despite their best efforts could only funnel 60+ million in 2024-25. The purpose of a system is what it does :
For some reason, a stop is put to whatever this endeavour is about.
This is what I’d do, based on what I’ve learned (or was told to learn fast).
Do with what you have : explore all outcomes and options
Only sign players that are an upgrade to what you’ve got (not abiding by this is undermining your credibility, you can’t fire the entire academy staff, nor ban them from side-eyeing your Marc Guiu’s who can’t hit the football in two touches inside the box, with more haircuts than shots on target).
Build your squad with the 8-8-8 rule
8 starters on high wages
Gotta imagine 8 Academy players can include 2 starters, and fill the bench
8 league-level players if your talent pool is Devon or Guernsey, otherwise London’s, stop taking the piss. 16 players should be Academy trained
Because :
Competent staff don’t get players injured ; your best 14 play 75% of the minutes, how’s that relevant that the remaining dozen are Londoners who are happy to be part of it. They are not meant to play significant minutes!
From a financial standpoint : the love of the badge mean you can pay an Academy player 80% market value, he’ll fund the 20% by his mere absolute desire to play for his club. Nonsense? Yes, but that’s football, nothing that applies in the real world has grounding.
If you don’t get the 8-8-8 rule, you’re either stupid, or don’t like making money (therefore what the fuck are you doing in that industry).
Squad Overview
This is an overview of the 2025-26 player status
Squad registration rules detail can be found on TheChels.info
This is another overview of how it works :
Conor Gallagher and Noni Madueke are PL Home Grown ; as they spent 3 years before 21 in a UK based club.
Conor Gallagher is FA Trained for UEFA because he spent 3 years between 15-21 in a UK based club.
Noni Madueke isn’t FA Trained for UEFA, because he spent 4 years at PSV Eindhoven
Bomb squad are bad. But 60-players squad is an obscene allocation of resources, incontinent spending, irresponsible way to run a club.
Monaco had 60 pros under contract with that WyScout gimmick, and almost got themselves relegated in Ligue 2 - Badiashile lived it in 2018-19.
Part ways
The following players are expected to find a club, as they’re neither starting quality, nor able to fill a quota until they (possibly) become so.
Players with a market value are : Petrovic, Chilwell or Disasi can expect to find a buyer in the same league.
Some of them are decent players, but their antics on or off the field will discourage majority of clubs who can afford them : Cucurella, Enzo, Veiga, Felix have albatross contracts.
See how fast Aït Nouri, Vitinha, Pacho or Doué/Cherki move to top clubs for half the price. City don’t get priced out, they pump fake and idiots fall for it.
On brand, for a team that played Looney Tunes footall the entirety of the season : pump the ball early on the two fuckers goal hanging on halfway - dis was a controlled performance eee.
For everyone else, other options are to be considered : take the closest offer to their remaining book value.
Get them to train with UEFA Pro License coaches, but don’t delve in the “strip off squad number and locker” bullshit because that drags you to employment court (like it would in any field of industry).
Neto taking Sterling’s number. Palmer taking Mudryk’s 10. Petty, and a bad look.
Who buys a Neto shirt anyway.
Or the old school Boehly clear out : pay off Ziyech, Barkley and Batshuayi’s last year(s) of contract plus some sugar on top. Better pay off players who actually put some hard yards in to train every day and sleep early, than pay 75 million agent fees (2023-24) to buy gucci bags, let alone whole ass islands and holiday homes,
A 5% bounty (agent commission that nobody agrees on capping because of “free trade”) on a 11 million transfer for a Polish CB signed for 100k six month earlier, with 6 Polish first division games - is half a million. Food for thought. Caviar?
A still (clearer) picture
A reasonable 22+2 squad from a numerical standpoint.
22 outfielders + 2 goalkeepers.
Three areas are identified
Goalkeeper
Left back
Striker
Goalkeepers
The idea of Sanchez is interesting (more than Kepa ever was), getting him to kick the ball long would reduce situations he creates chances to the opposition.
Catches crosses (and comments).
Clubs can be sucked into “interesting profiles” for outfielders, but a bad GK get you relegated. And Sanchez’s track record of kicking a fit when benched is a red flag.
Work in submarine on replacements, and flog him. But there’s no market for him.
Four names :
Obed Nkambadio
Not asleep between the sticks.
Yehvann Diouf
Who I track since his French Youth Cup 2018 heroics - featuing Bryan Mbeumo
Called up for Senegal recently.
Mike Maignan
I love Mike Maignan for about a decade. Penalty saving cheat code, fills in the goal frame, good leader. Not mucking about, unless he actually does by dribbling out.
My idea of a goalkeeper.
There’s definitely a catch if AC Milan of all clubs are willing to let him go.
Koulibaly, Shevchenko. Countless Serie A players let go once they’re on the wrong side of the hill.
They probably know things Chelsea don’t, but oh well, we’ll have it
Washed up big names (granted he is, don’t think he is) is also Chelsea ‘eritage
Yahia Fofana
Starting goalkeeper of the Team of Fofana’s
Parisian, went through Le Havre (like Mandanda, Brice Samba and Edouard Mendy)
Fucked off on a free knowing the project led nowhere, signed for Angers and cemented his place to fill up the goal frame and the pizza chart.
ASMR Begovic
Asmir Begovic, recently released by Everton, qualifies as Home Grown as a result of spending 3 years between 15-21 in England, having joined Portsmouth in 2004
They wouldn’t know a thing about winning. Check who won the 2015 and 2016 Premier League and who was “Director of Performance” at Machester City.
Looks like Manchester City also analysed the performance and made the relevant choices to their back office to win 6 of the next 7.
Schwarzer joined aged 41 in Summer 2013, became the oldest debutant in CL history.
Moreover, when a 650 (including 500+) Premier League games goalkeeper tells you to sort your shit out before, during or after training, or in the bus ; players usually think twice. Unless they’re (really) bad vibes.
Chelsea would rather give the armband to Enzo Fernandez, twelve words of english and probably a few more he shouldn’t have said in his native language in the bus.
Sunk cost fallacy, and Harry Winks for the Harry Winks role.
Being more impressed by Maresca’s Leicester avoiding a fine + point deduction with the 8th wagebill in Championship… than Pochettino who actually started a Champions League final with Harry Winks. Shamelessness over processes.
Anyway, Maresca, just like anyone else : finds Enzo overrated as f*ck, and defaulted to turn him into the next most useful thing he can do : crash the box and score goals. Get some steps to eliminate the burger toast fries in bed.
Left Backs
Left back is a difficult position : the market is scarce, and the best players (Nuno Mendes, Alejandro Baldé are out of range). Aït Nouri is gone swiftly (nature abhors a vacuum, and good players will always find a way).
Ishe Samuels-Smith will be a solid PL left back, is ineligible in the Youth League (because hasn’t spent 3 years at the club before 21).
Several options :
Run the course with Chilwell overlapping and getting chances
Use Chalobah / Colwill who’d do a better defensive job than the Getafe chancer who was allowed to fail non-stop for 3 years.
Explore the market :
They canned Lewis Hall and Ian Maatsen - stupid decisions have a price.
Diego Moreira? Finally embracing his destiny to be a Brexit Left Back like I thought when I finally saw him for Chelsea U21s before seeing everyone follow suit.
Please. CV on one side, footage on the other.
Love Football, Protect the Game, here’s your #3 jersey.
Two options :
Kyle Walker-Peters on a free, Tyrick Mitchell as a pure defensively minded LB
Walker-Peters
I’ve seen KWP being the best player in Championship in 2024-24
The less said about Cucurella, the better. Atrocious defender, and a literal attacking clot having spent the whole season obstructing Palmer’s path to goal.
KWP is a clever defender, moreover one of the most rounded attacking player able to play both sides : he can make contact with any surface, first touch is brillaint, escape dribble and 1v1 is outrageously dynamic and agile, draws fouls.
His game intelligence to overlap / underlap is exceptional, so are his top corner finishes reminiscent of José Bosingwa’s. He had about one per month.
Play Andrey / Ugochukwu / Caicedo and you don’t really need juggernauts fullbacks.
Play Lavia and Enzo, well yeah you’ll need height somewhere.
Walker-Peters, he’ll go where the space is, and can pass on the correct foot of the receiver.
Tyrick Mitchell
Always liked Tyrick Mitchell, big cities produce ballers, an occurence that doesn’t emerge in a vacuum : gotta find who to talk to in these caged pitches.
And now he’s a FA Cup winner.
Stephen Mfuni
There’s one I like from what I’ve seen, but he’s younger than Samuels-Smith, and City won’t let him go (because he’s a good player - take the hint Joseph - also applies to you).
Seen live at Fulham a few months ago. Didn’t know him, liked him fairly quickly.
Strikers
All-rounder
The most obvious candidate is Hugo Ekitike, an all-rounder who can break the ceiling.
Too bad, Liverpool don’t pennypinch for good players.
That’s why they finished 20pts clear. Even 15th place United seems a better proposal.
Similar to Nicolas Jackson ; plus the goals. Aged 23, born in France.
Runner behind defences
Team mate of Benoît Badiashile’s in the UEFA Youth League in 2019
The other option is already in house :
All action wide striker
There’s a Premier League winning side outside the top 6 (and United / Spurs).
Just like there was Gudjohnsen, Van Dijk, Mané, Gary Cahill, Carrick, Berbatov or Rooneys.
Semenyo is a momentum shifter : an outlet to receive any kind of service, with diagonal runs and an excellent first touch. And shoots the football hard.
Ange-Yoan Bonny plays off the wings, creates chances, carries and drives powerfully.
Someone that can be projected to move as a centre forward in the future.
Funny, once Ange-Yoan Bonny moves to Inter Milan (Champion League finalist), they’ll know they already have Antoine Joujou for contingency
João Pedro is one I like (a lot)
He’s not Brighton Galaxy Brain MoneyBall Storytelling Industry Plant.
He’s a good old 34 million transfer from the Championship (how’s that disrupting the market - the same club who signed Adam Webster for 25 million from Bristol - check the staff overlap between 2019 Brighton and 2025 CFCLDN).
A Champions League level attacker hidden in plain sight because he can play on the right, left, upfront and as a second striker : truther, speed to trigger shift and shoot.
A Kaleidoscopic attacker
He’s fast, tricky on the ball. Output over excuses.
Box presence and heading
For the pitch of : box presence and heading, a few players stand out from the crowd, not just because they’re well over 6ft3
Impact Sub.
Can’t Get Enough of Your Goals
Mohamed Kader Meïté ; profiled here :
Jhon Duran : Notorious
Of course, the best option was right there :
Chelsea agreed a 35 million move, 150k a week (mind you, that’s less than Marc Cucumbersome) deal for Jhon Duran before pulling out the offer.
0.11 NPxG/Shot but 1.06 npG/90 with 700+ minutes played. King.
They’re not “bad at their job”, they’re excellent at making sure they have no option left than the one to revert to the players they wanted to sign all along, with an areopagus of sycophants (not all on payroll) keen to attack players for being money grabbing con artists. Purpose of a system is what it does.
Decisions
Because the inherited incontinent spending leaves Chelsea with this :
Ideally, Liam Delap is put on sale from the moment he walks in.
His level is backup striker for a Champions League club. So is Nicolas Jackson, the modern day Salomon Kalou. Ideally, you have one backup, not two.
Jackson is a rare profile : fast, aglile, can repeat high intensity sprints, brilliant first touch. Delap is OK, what a Category 1 Academy will retain/release/sell when considering adding him to the first team to win titles.
Of course, the possibility of Delap turning into Harry Kane (workaholic striker) exists to make all of this sound silly, but then it’s not like they forced out Pochettino who actually platformed Kane, Mbappé, Moïse Kean and many more.
Well, actually, they did, so let’s hope their sweet dreams don’t come to fruition.
So convinced Palmer would be Gareth Bale’s regen, than none of them signed him for Southampton and Parma whilst he spent 2 years in the bomb squad at Manchester City.
Hindsight, Dunning-Krüger and begging to ask if they remember you from the staff canteen queue. That’s the acceptable version of it.
Fortunately, FIFA has an answer to this: transferring a player whithin a window of 16 weeks will be considered a “bridge transfer” aimed at circumvent regulations on training compensation, solidarity payments, or tax obligations.
The thing they wanted to do : signing Bakwa to Chelsea then straight in the EasyJet to Frankfurt ; well, that’s not allowed. Not that a one year transfer ban wouldn’t be a blessing in disguise to expose the whole scheme.
Consequence : Nicolas Jackson, brilliant between both boxes but wouldn’t score a goal on ScoreHero ; is put on sale : his market value isn’t gonna be higher than after 15 NPG in each season, especially sitting on the bench.
Won’t be the kind of guy to sit on the bench as a third striker
Obviously not good enough to lead the line, not because he’s not an exceptional receiver / carrier. But because the squad building mean he’s surrounded with fullbacks who don’t score. Another squad building failure, Jackson fronting a Sterling / Nkunku / Olise wouldn’t need to be bothered about scoring (or create chances for himself)
Offers are listened to for
Robert Sanchez (whilst the club actively works silently on signings, as opposed to yap to the next guy that they’re very interested to let everyone know they’re pretending to try).
Malo Gusto is the odd man out : now 22 since May, he’s neither U21 neither Home Grown neither FA Trained. He’s also not better than Josh Acheampong, who’s better in the air, less air pockets in his game and also lined up to be a centreback in the future. I like Acheampong (way) more than I liked Chalobah at the same age.
Gusto has an excellent first touch, a Lime bike start and stop ability to always find separation. But also too many blips in his game, that he might or might not fix up. Never scored a goal to save his life, if he was about to, he’d have shown signs. Not like he’s anywhere near foolproof than Cesar “Dave” Azpilicueta. Chelsea season tickets could spell his name three pints deep. Malo Gusto, touted for a move to Real Madrid, has had an atrocious season cosplaying as a midfielder/attacker - where he played until OL shunted him as fullback. A new definition for insanity : not so much about doing the same thing over and over again. But doing something other people proved didn’t work, because we’re us and they’re them.
At least “they” have basic manners.
21 players to find a club.
Keep the 6 Sporting Directors, split players in grapes of 5 under the condition that they aren’t players they signed. Broker as many transfers out. Winner wins a selfie with Enzo Maresca. Then tell them where to go on New Years eve.
Kovac looked at the bomb squad and Sofiane Diop, who outperformed the WyScout flops. Reminds you anything with Chalobah / Gallagher with Pochettino?
Replaced by the now Rangers coach (not anymore) who coached Krépin Diatta at Bruges (still a flop) - both with Wasserman (like Potter, Maresca, Rosenior ; a dozen of professional footballers linked with Chelsea but also Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall).
End game : culminating with 6th place in 2023 with the 2nd budget, no Europe and 58 goals conceded with Axel Disasi’s leadership and fist pumping.
Summer window
Mike Maignan : 15-20 million
Asmir Begovic : Free Agent (+ sign-on bonus ; players are never “free”)
Kyle Walker-Peters : Free Agent (+ sign on bonus)
Hugo Ekitike : 80-100 million
The same money committed to Neto, Felix or Mudryk - 9 senior games completed in his career, and none in the forthcoming future for being provisionally suspended for failing to find separation. With a doping product this time.
Playing dynamics
Maresca has a clear and defined approach, will teach football to the players
Give Enzo Maresca better players to unlock deep blocks
Is the equivalent of leaking your battleplan on Twitch and then complain the opps are waiting with the baseball bat around the corner. The only way out is to sign fresh players who haven’t been gaslighted yet. Rinse and repeat until the money runs out. Purpose of a system is what it does.
Agents are the only profession that won’t have to work in their 70s.
Balance your squad so that players have a tangible output, and build a synergy with associations of skillsets / space coverage that complement each other.
Chelsea’s main challenge is to replicate Frank Lampard’s season 2019-20 (or to a degree, Romelu Lukaku’s Chelsea)
Platform good attackers, stop telling them what to do.
That would result in opening the scoring 26 times, which is +5 times after losing Eden Hazard.
Means Mason Mount is better than Hazard or Lampard platformed what he had well.
Pushing for a wins can result in Yarmolenko last minute goals, but also some last minute wins.
That would be the squad to compete in Premier League.
NHG places should be reserved to exceptional talent that for some reason, the national / club curriculum hasn’t been able to produce. Football pitches, coaches, players are hard to come by in a 12 million inhabitants metropolis such as London.
In that sense, even if the editor insisted to mention Badiashile here.
This is a position that should / could be filled by Marc Guéhi.
Midfield offer : covering ground, passing and goals.
Caicedo and Andrey Santos would initially be paired together, that is until the general consensus settles on the general idea that Andrey Santos can do like Caicedo, but better, and also score goals. With way less fouls.
Casemiro or Carrick would’ve played “8” in any team in the world.
For Real Madrid, Casemiro played behind Kroos and Modric.
The best midfield would be - once the Caicedo / Andrey Santos question is sorted - and we’d then ask what we could get instead of Caicedo’s 6 touches for a corkscrew long pass, fouls, yellow cards and shanked shots.
120 million for the best midfielder in Premier League, according to every fanbase bar the other 19 but also overlooked by agenda driven computers and pundits.
The cherry on the cake being March 24, 2001 born William Saliba, who joined Arsenal in 2019, played 100 Premier League games nominated in the Young Premier League Player of The Season over November 2, 2001 born Moisés Caicedo. Hurts like getting clamped by Moisés Caicedo omitting he has to defend goal side.
On par with wondering why Chelsea got no penalties after sending Trevoh Chalobah signing autographs at Boreham Wood in pre-season. Staggering delusion.
Andrey with Ugochukwu and Nkunku ahead of them : both able to score, Nkunku doing the short connecting (and goals) and Ugochukwu the long connections (and goals)
Crash bang wallop ; movement and crosses upfront, and midfielders who shoot and finish.
If you play against a team sitting deep ; different options against different matchups.
Teams defending more zonally ; Nkunku and Sterling to fill up the right spaces organically ; with Walker Peters who’s the best fullback in the world at underlapping.
Teams defending more man-to man : Geoge and Chuwkemeka to receive and burst away from 1v1s.
Palmer coming off the right (the readjustement movement that forces teams to pass on marking duties).
Can also entertain the idea of Kiano Dyer ; chi va Kiano, va sano e va lontano
As for the forward line : the Michael Olise fumble pill is still hard to swallow, and he might be someone who’ll want to get back to England at some point.
Raheem Sterling, under contract until 2027 bringing his exprerience on and off the pitch to mentor Tyrique George and Madueke.
Estevao Willian in the Scott Sinclair role, ideally would be out on loan (or at Real Madrid / PSG if he was really good), but can’t loan a player they paid 65 million without even ticking the RyanAir “I want the player for the Club World Cup” add-on.
Get limited token minutes, as opposed to 35 starts that will produce the same outcome than what happened to Ousmane Dembele : Troll Football treatment, and surgery to re-attach the tendon to the bone before 23.
Going back to the initial KPI : open the scoring. Then you need to see out games.
If your players train the way they play (think Pochettino, late goals and 2v2)
then they don’t get injured.
If they open the scoring between 25-30 times per season, that leaves room for 4-5 defeats and 4-5 occurences of winning points after coming behind on the score.
Which unpredictable, front foot football platforming indivuduals generates.
Chelsea 2014-15 : first goal 30th minute on average, first conceded 60th minute.
Top of the league. The KPI you data drivel model should point out.
Then if you’re tied at 60th minute : go 442 with Delap / Ekitike and good deliveries from wide ; knowing your midfield two can work like 3.
Unlike Caicenzoméo, who can’t head, can’t score and can’t cover large distances without Conor Gallagher doing it for them. 3 players to do the job of 1.5 (billion)
At 2-0 up, give Mheuka 30 cameos and 5 starts and he’ll bag at least 5 goals + 3 penalties.
Outgoings
FIFA is kind of regulating the number of players going on loan, with a view to cap at 6 loanees aged 21+ ; at the exemption of U21s for domestic loans.
Players who are 21 or younger and club-trained (registered with the club for at least 3 years between ages 15–21) are exempt from this cap.
I asked Copilot because I cba :
These are the 5 players that would be sent somewhere in Europe to get minutes.
UEFA Youth League
Chelsea are back in the UEFA Youth League.
Our squad building visionnaries managed the exploit to cup tie the best forward at the club eligible for it. No, he wasn’t “given chances to impress”
He was given a token start at Copenhagen, yanked at half and thrown under the bus ; only to start 24h later at New Malden.
Saying they care would be an insult to intelligence.
I asked Copilot again ; but that’s for boring red tape.
Not to write a whole ass article on “diagonality”.
Chelsea players born in 2006 or after and Youth League eligibility
❌Josh Acheampong
✅Ato Ampah
✅Kiano Dyer (but in the bomb squad atm)
❌Tyrique George
❌Ishe Samuels-Smith
❌JJ Morgan
❌Shim Mheuka
✅Ollie Harrison
✅Harrison Murray-Campbell
✅Harrison McMahon
❌Ted Curd
From what I can put together ; this would be the depth chart ; with a Shim Mheuka hole up top.
It wouldn’t be surprising to see Chizzy Ezenwata featuring.
Only club to win back to back UEFA Youth League, with 4 finals in 6 years.
Can you see Joe Shields’s and Glen Van der Kran’s Manchester City?
Blue Reset.
Man. Nkunku AND Sterling in your lineup is crazy haha. Both don’t have legs that work
Great read. Genuinely makes me wonder how the SDs were hired and how they (still) aren’t sacked.
