  1. Rayan Cherki

    He had 8 key passes over both legs (4 each game and more than any other player) and two goals. Who scored and Sofascore both had him rated as the best player on either team in the first leg and second only to Casemiro (and Harry, per Sofascore) in the second leg. Garnacho on the other hand was...

  2. Rayan Cherki

    Amad and Cherki at RWB and RAM against lesser teams would produce some beautiful football. He’s also plenty two footed and could play the LAM role too.

  3. Rayan Cherki

    Yep. People aren’t seeing a Ronaldo-level athlete so don’t want. Cherki’s athleticism and physicality are fine, particularly when you consider the immense technical ability and creativity he brings to the team. Bring him in and hope Amorim can work on his defensive contribution (which I don’t...

  4. Post match vs Olympique Lyonnais

    Hah. I saw the first clip but not the second. Glad they went back to the little guy after we turned it around.

  5. Post match vs Olympique Lyonnais

    One step closer to a heart breaking loss to Spurs in the final

  6. Rayan Cherki

    Exactly. Plus, while Cherki may not be the fastest player in a sprint, he's clearly very athletic and agile and has some explosiveness to him. Check out the feint, flick past the defender and cross he puts in at the 22 second mark of the highlights below. Or the run through the middle at 1:20...

  7. Sekou Kone

    Was thinking the exact same thing. The development is very obvious. Looks very composed and things seem to be slowing down for him. Hopefully he can continue to mature physically, go on tour this summer and start to break into the first team over the course of next season.

  8. Rayan Cherki

    I sincerely hope so! This is a repost, but worth reposting. His assist numbers should be even higher! Enjoy.

  9. Rayan Cherki

    Poster I was referring to specifically mentioned his numbers/stats, so my post was focused on that. But since you ask, I actually think he’s absolutely perfect for one of the two 10/winger roles behind the striker in Amorim’s system. Whenever I’ve seen him, he seems to put in a shift and is...

  10. Rayan Cherki

    He has 9 goals and 18 assists and a highlight reel full of brilliant passes his teammates could’ve reasonably scored off. Third in Ligue 1 in key passes per 90 and second in the Europa league (ahead of Bruno, and with 4x the assists in the competition and a better completion percentage). Not...

  11. Rayan Cherki

    Just registering my strong desire that he’s one of our summer signings. Lad’s incredible. Hopefully he plays well enough against us to get the club moving on signing him but not well enough to knock us out.

  12. Jadon Sancho - Chelsea (loan) watch | £5M opt-out fee

    Indeed, they just have employment contracts unlike the vast majority of the workforce. That’s what I get for posting at 3am after a long day of work. Brain dead. ‍

  13. Jadon Sancho - Chelsea (loan) watch | £5M opt-out fee

    Simple answer. They’re not employees. They’re contractors.

  14. What do we still need? Aka The never ending story

    Pretty much this. Striker and RWB are the top priorities position wise. CAM is probably 4th priority for me but Cherki may be #1 on my wishlist - he’s absolutely fantastic and the reported price is too good to pass up. CM is the third priority IMO. Fernandez should be a good budget option at CM...

  15. Geovany Quenda | Ornstein: Chelsea agree 7-year deal with option of a further year. Will go to Chelsea in 2026.

    Sell Dalot and buy Quenda and Doughty. Latter will be cheap when Luton get relegated and he’s a proven, proper LWB in his mid 20s. Quenda, Dorgu and Doughty as the main wingbacks with Amad (prefer him as one of the AMs) and Leon able to play for the wingback roles. Dalot’s probably one of our...
