Journalism is the easiest job going

Knowing Chelsea at the minute they’d probably do it as they see HG money as key. He is our best player by far though and loves the club. Incredible player not surprised City and every club in the world want him.

[–] Modnal@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I bet lots of team aren't interested in him for the simple fact that he's made of glass. But can see how a team like City who has a strong bench would be interested because he really is good when fit

Chelsea see HG money as key

Redditors have just invented this FFP quirk as something that Chelsea are using as their accounting panacea. They still have to build a functioning team.

[–] msbr_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Chalobah, broja and maatsen will go for pure profit ahead of him.

Even Gallagher would go before him, so don't worry.

[BeinSports] Stocksbridge Park Steels eyeing move for Kevin de Bruyne

[–] stop-nagging@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I guess someone is still drunk from their Sunday weekend party.

Even if this had legs, what would it mean for Rico Lewis? Besides, doesn't Pep want his fullbacks inverting?

[–] sadcentur@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

rico’s future is probably in midfield

[–] normott@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

They'll sell Rico. Man City aren't scared of selling potential for the right price

[–] FrameworkisDigimon@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Presumably he'd push up a CB, which he does anyway... but Stones is injured enough himself I'd guess they'd buy a CB as well.

I guess another option would be to just not have a winger on that side. Or Reece James would be the nominal winger.

Or maybe Reece James can invert.

[–] GSNadav@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Not really? If he stays fit he is just a younger upgrade on walker

[–] MotoMkali@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I mean it would be a stupid transfer on cities part. What spend 100 mil to get 20 games a year. He's a brilliant player no doubt but he doesn't really suit cities system (though I'm sure guardiola could create a new one to fit him) and he just can't stay healthy.

[–] Sektsioon@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

There’s not a single system that Reece James wouldn’t fit. He’s like the perfect fullback because there’s not a single weakness in his game. He’s defensively brilliant, he’s great in possession, he’s great in the final third. He’s got everything you want in a fullback.

Haaland and Doku (although still early) had constant injuries before they came to City and now they look better in terms of fitness

[–] MotoMkali@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Well yes but no it's about maximising his talents. Playing reece James in cities current system would minimise his great delivery and attacking output and if you only utilise half a players abilities it's not really worth it.

[–] mellvins059@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I think Reece is an unbelievable player. That said his concentration can be a glaring weakness. He loses track of his man who slips away from him in the 2nd halves of games now and then and it has punished us badly before. The weakness was particularly apparent when he was playing RCB.

[–] teemuselanteenvene@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

People were saying that Haaland doesn't fit their system before he joined.

[–] IM_JUST_BIG_BONED@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Tbf he doesn’t. He’s just so good that it doesn’t matter

[–] MotoMkali@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean he doesn't really. They weren't creating more chances he just finishes the ones he gets at a higher rate and is more able to latch onto passes and other stuff.

[–] teemuselanteenvene@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He's probably the most naturally gifted goalscorer in men's football at the moment, playing for a team that generates a ton of chances for him. In my books he fits the system perfectly.

[–] matttargaryen@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah and I want Florence Pugh, we all can dream

[–] pratap_10@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

👀 If Chelsea don't qualify for the UCL next season would James still consider staying at the club or will he look elsewhere?

Although Reece James has become an injury prone player these days, he is still an elite fullback and there are not many balanced fullbacks in the world and the majority of Europe's elite clubs would be after him if he decides to leave Chelsea.

[–] Aman-Patel@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Nah James would stay

[–] Triangle-Yeeter@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

James would stay even if we get relegated

Keep eyeing all you want Pep, he's never leaving.

[–] Gooner_93@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Never clicked, never read a single word, I dont even want you to post me the article in here.

[–] TheB11Ace@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

We're eying a move for Ronaldo as well. The R9 one!

[–] FunIrishBean@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Rashford to city next is it? The fact these journalists are paid for this shit

[–] Jamesy555@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Pep said I can fix him

[–] MrConor212@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Lol. Give us Haaland, Rodri and KDB then sure

[–] amainwingman@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Ah someone to keep KDB company in the infirmary

[–] AvikHyp3@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He's a Chelsea academy graduate, a long-time fan, and current captain at quite a young age. I'm not really sure why anyone thinks he would leave rn

[–] Tierst@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Did they forget to publish this before the game?
