Chelsea 2024/25

Not usually a fan of snitching but gotta love Cookie here...

All I see is a player watching out for the welfare of his fellow professional by ensuring the proper medical attention is administered

I love Cucurella. What a turnaround for him at the club.

The annoying thing about this clip is once Cucurella got the ref to force Havertz to leave the pitch, Timber proceeded to waste a whole minute by pretending he had no idea how to take a proper throw in.

Yeah he's been the best left back in the PL for the last year or so. His form at the Euros wasn't that surprising. When in a system when he can be a front foot defender with cover behind he's absolutely elite.

Agreed on the goalkeeper. And as much as Chelsea have been clowned for buying so many, the truly elite and proven goalkeepers are rarely available and when they are they go for quite high fees - it's the one position where buying 6 £10m lottery tickets from less prominent leagues makes more sense than buying 1 £60 less risky lottery ticket from a top league (as long as playing time can be assured, of course).

There's simply no sense in buying six goalkeepers - it's utterly ludicrous and unjustifiable.

6 goalkeepers was an exaggeration - and if they were all sat on the bench then yes of course, but that isn't the case. Goalkeeper is the one position where it makes sense to throw shit at the wall until it sticks.

He’s been in top form in 2024, especially from February/March and onwards. It’s shows it’s not always wise to give up on players. He was basically a meme at one point, and it’s probably no exaggeration to say there were 0 Chelsea fans that didn’t want to sell him for a cut price to whoever would take him. I’m now looking at guys like Mudryk. Maybe he can prove everyone wrong too.

Maybe he can, but the difference is Cucurella had played at a high level in the PL with Brighton prior to arriving at Chelsea during a time where their was massive upheaval at the club. Mudryk is still very much a wild card.
