Angelo and estavo we are cooking
Shut up please Don't come here and spit shit please
Away I already have it it’s fire🔥
Nice
Selling “Pure profits” all round! ??? Mount gone, Gallagher soon? Chalobah next!!! ALL PLAYERS FROM THE YOUTH TEAM TK BE Sold?
We have always been a team that dominates games in possession!! BRING BACK THE OLD DAYS!! I wanna be bored where we dominate teams by having the ball! I WANT PLAYERS THAT ARE ALLLLLLL COMFORTABLE ON THE BALL! Not like dickheads like Dasasi, Badieshiele, Mudryk, Jackson ARE NOT COMFORTABLE ON THE BALL!
How the hell can someone know more and have more power in choosing the players that should be at the club?? Sporting directors are dicks, have no balls and sit in the “background” getting paid and playing football like it’s “Fantasy Manager” Club plays bad and loses and the MANAGER gets the sack but the Sporting Director continues to get his wages? WRONG!
Typical brown envelopes today they are talking bollocks these Chelsea channels are all new fans the fan base are all into wokeness if these glory hunters who are new fans would have got a slap and told get out of sw6 fact enough said
Chelsea under this new owner is a disaster!! American only play their useless basketball not football
Depending with why happened to Maatsen… If Reece is fit and starts as RB, then for me, Malo Gusto would play at LB over Cucurella and Chilly. We have seen glimpses off him ALREADY at LB and he been amazing.
Love Chilly to bits… but … HE CANT PLAY IN A BACK 4!!! Anyone can see that! Sad, but we have to cash in now. (Injured to much and that creates an “In-balance” as it disrupts a “settled” 11 which we never get. For me, With Maresca and how we gonna play, Maatsen would be perfect as our LB! So many idiot that’s do podcasts and videos about Chelsea yet they don’t actually know anything about football. Maatsen would be like signing a new signing!! Absolutely amazing LB!
Tactically NO!! But more “TECHNICALLY NO!!! He runs so fast sometimes that he doesn’t know where the ball is under his feet!
You’re all “Pod-castors” and supposed to “Know your stuff” don’t you know that for France and Liepzig he plays as a 2nd striker or on the wing!? HE NEVER PLAYS UP FRONT AS A 9!!! Let him play on the LW or as a 10 (all depends if we get Olisse) either way, Madueke is not good enough! We need Julian Alvarez aswell… HE WOULD BE OUR 9 and link so well with Palmer and Nkunku!
I wish our sporting directors can do good business by either selling or loan out Sterling to make room to sign the newly discovery the 22yrs old winger of Leeds United Crysencio Summerville to replace Sterling in the team going forward
And who is geyruo
Beth replacement ?
I completely AGREE… I don’t wanna sell him, but he is not a starter for me… he is the perfect player if we are in front and playing against a good team that is gonna push us back (only for counter attacking) Other than that he does 1 good thing in every 8 times he gets the ball…. He’s had more than one season now and still doesn’t seem comfortable on the ball. He seems to not have the ball under control (when he should) Get me OLISSE all day and let him play in the LW.
Reading that the release clause may only be available to clubs and that qualify for UCL?!
Don't matter. We'll get round it.
Chelsea has three sick notes in chilwell , james, and fofana albeit good players 👍 olise hasnt a clean injury history either . Chelsea need consider this when in pursuit of new transfers this season . Good update btw.
All left footed players who like to cut in from the right - ready? Cole Palmer Noni Madueke Kendry Paez Eatevao Willian Angelo Michael olise .. I like olise. But maybe try another position..?
This is old story now. If Chelsea is serious, they should close the deal. It is now boring. 😊
We all want to know what's delaying Michael Olise to Chelsea signing?. The waiting seam to be going out of normalcy. We need him back to Chelsea football Club.
He won’t sign, more bs press from club they will sign Somerville from Leeds, just like the bs about striker linked with every top striker in Europe now we are going to get a villa reject, come on guys wake up this owners are mid table jokers
Can the medical team handle Olise injury prone?
good question. he gets injured atleast twice a season since he broke on the scene.🤦🏾♂️
Make it make sense..great player tho, just another with injury baggage and that's something we have enough of within squad as is...
clickbait. Michael Olise HAS NOT agreed personal terms with chelsea. He may well sign for us but this video should be banned for the poor excuse of someone wanting money from youtube watchers whom genuinely want to know whats TRULY going on and not using ! instead of ?. i've now unsubscribed, shame on you.
Terms have been agreed, not so sure about the Romano source. Why don't you ask where he found this instead of getting emotional?
it was a mistake by admin I’m personally willing to own! title rectified… I had combined the Lima news and Olise news in my head.. it’s been a busy week apologies 😵💫 - producer jake
@@thestoo8328 add these following letters to your name 'pid'.
@@LondonBluePod Romano has now confirmed there are talks with Olise and Palace 😂
More high quality chances per game and multiple players who are dangerous enough to occupy 2+ players in the defensive 3rd of the pitch is how to win games now. Having a one striker model who scores the most makes attacks a bit easier to read.
Yeah that was a bunch of bs... you just talked about him as a player. Hard credibility will be lost if you don't rectify your s**t
Loving the you tube videos. Long time subscriber to the podcast. Love how Olise would fit in. I think Maresca will have to adapt to a 4-2-3-1 it fits our team better. Possibly the inverted full backs will lessen the effect of overloads in the midfield. Ongoing hamstring issues with Olise is a concern Only negative is the Fabrizio mention in the title obvious click bait. You guys are better than that

IMO Maresca´s setup is kinda set in stone. He has to play Colwill as his leftsided CB(if Levi stays he will "demand" the spot). Reece is a given at RB. Midfield Caicedo and Enzo are also set. If we sign Olise then Palmer, Olise and Nkunku are kinda required to play. Those are all either big money signings or highly rated players by the board. So he got wiggle room for a rightsided CB. A leftback, a midfielder and a striker or another midfielder. But 7 out of the starting 11 are more or less required to play. And our bench will feature the likes of Gallagher, Sterling, Noni, Mudryk, Jackson or the new Striker(maybe even both), Gusto, Santos and an army of CBs. Since we have Tosin, Disasi, Badiashile and W.Fofana. Heck maybe even Trev will stay. On top of either Chilwell or Cucurella. Juggling the game time between all these players is not an easy task. And next season with Paez and Estevao joining will be even harder. So i guess we all can agree whats bound to happen to the likes of Angelo, Washington, Datro Fofane or Casedai. They will be fliped for profit. Or ending up at Strasbourg to get our primary feeder club into Conference League Football. So someone like Pedro Lima gets an even better development over there. Making Chelsea more attractive to young talents. They start in a good european league with european football.
With what will likely be a 60 match season I seriously doubt this will be the case. There will be rotation (if Maresca wasn’t giving any opportunities to an expensive player, sure) and whoever performs best in the new system will likely nail down their spot for the bigger games. Enough for everyone to have game time and I don’t think we’ll have too many untouchable per se
Maresca himself will have to do a bit of adapting if he wants to get the best out of individual players, mediocre players in the championship is a lot different than top class players in the premiership, I'm a Chelsea fan since 1970 so I'm praying everything works out for us and not have to read in a few months time that players are not happy with the situation, great show by the way.
I can't find this episode on Spotify
It’s one of our brand new KZread exclusive we’ll only be posting here! We’re hoping to do two of these each week!
It's a 15 min vid, no full pod on Spotify. Makes sense for them to put exclusive YT content, otherwise what's the point of sub both to YT and Spotify. I'll likely sub to thier YT channel now bc of vids like this. Great stuff, as always @londonbluepod.
Chelsea were reported of being ahead for the signature of Olise before Man U appointed to keep their manager.
Awful click bait
How? It’s the truth my dude go take a look we’ll wait 😘
Wow, what a clickbait from you guys. Disappointing!!

WHERE DID YOU SEE FABRIZIO SAY CHELSEA, & OLISE HAVE AGREED PERSONAL TERMS?? I love this podcast. Don't make me disl*ke it with ur clickbait title!
I second this. Made me go through Fabs twitter. He is using silly click baits!!!!!
"Don't make me dislike it" 🤣 Because of ONE misleading title after what 10 years of podcasting?

Click bait Fab hasn't said he agreed personal terms. Chelsea are further ahead in the race but it's still open. We should get more updates this week.

@@LondonBluePodwas reported that they agreed personal terms back in the previous summer window though… I believe.
I don't think Gallagher is a nailed on starter but i reckon Maresca will value him highly and he will prove invaluable throughout the season.
Enzo can be exceptional, give him another season and fit, I’m sure he will be great for us.
If reece james is fit, he is right back. This is just some graham Potter bullshit tactics again .
Truth is personally I've thought about it also. Caicedo playing the inverted position is way better because he'll offer protection. It's also sad because we have the best of fullbacks in James and Malo Gusto. They can also play there but Caicedo for me thicks that box. Maybe one of them will deputise while one would have to be sold or converted to another role
That was Chelsea original plan with potter but the caved under the fans pressure and sack for fat Frank and then poch. Chelsea are just going back to their original plan.
Chalk me up as another hopium addict then. I think he has immense potential and it wouldn’t take much to unlock that.
I pray this isnt the case. BUt I've said since day one of this Clearlake consortium buyout with Todd Boehly at the top of it as a possible shit show .Man, was i not wrong ..The minute he got Rid of Marina and co enforced my beliefs and then ridiculoys overspending on mediocre players with ridiculous 8 year contract For me that's was '"icing on the cake I hope im wrong more than anything, but i can see this idiot taking us back to pre Ken Bates era I still cant believe that when Poch finally got them playing and more importantly into Europe he leaves "By mutual consent "" My money is on Todd Boehly wants a YES MAN in his club who not gonna challenge him..hence "Mutual consent "
We are fine for money. I expected more from this podcast than to be making people fear with clickbait. We have Hall, broja, hutchison, conor, maatsen (approx £148m pure profit), plus chalobah (hopefully not). We also have a ton of players bought kinda cheapish who could at least double in value with 1 good season on loan, such as: DDF, washington, Matos, Moreira, Slonina, Angelo, Casadei, Santos, Whispers, and more. Plus, we have players near end of contract, so could make a small PSR profit on: Chilwell, Kepa, Lukaku. Plus, we have another bunch of academy grads who will be coming through soon, some might do well: Humphreys, Gilchrist, Acheampong, Vale, Anjorin, Webster, Burstow. Plus, we have more high value prospects coming in like Paez, Estevao, Lima so spending in future will be decreased. Finally, when the 1st team kicks on and improves, the players will go up in value. Worst comes to worst we sell one. Paid 40m for Palmer, he is worth what now? 80m maybe? Chucky has a good season and he goes from 15m to about 40m. (I know its kinda silly, but I saw somewhere that Jackson is now the highest value African player at 100m, thats about 65m over what we paid). We also didn't pay that much for Madueke, Ugochuckwu, Gusto or Petrovic. So the same applies to them. Heck, WHU paid us 35m for Zouma, so we'd probably get more for Disasi or Bads, approximately a break even. It's just players like Enzo, Caicedo, Mudryk, Fofana, maybe Nkunku and Lavia that we are unlikely to make a profit on, if they were sold.
Rumor's that Bayern are interested in Colwill...another pure profit sale and high value. I'd hate to see this happen, he has such huge potential but I can see the owners and SDs wanting the revenue. I don't understand the business model here, I don't understand the plan, do they want to success on the pitch or in the bank account...if it's the latter how does getting fleeced in the market and spending £1bn on overvalued players fit that plan?
Two important points to remember: First, when Boehly and co were given the green light to purchase the club, they did so with the agreement that they would pump another $2+B in investment into players, infrastructure, etc. Second, with the new profit rules, the days of homegrown heroa are over unless the EPL offers some sort of "credit" to clubs for keeping their homegrown talent... something like, "Gallagher is worth £50M, if Chelsea keep him, they can somehow add that 50M into their books". One player we will not be getting: Sesko, he is staying at Leipzig. I think we get Olise, Pedro Lima and maybe one more development striker, Jhon Duran perhaps. I would rather have Alvarez.
American ownership is destroying the premier league..
In a year of turmoil and inconsistencies by the Blues, Palmer aside, Conor Gallagher performed brilliantly and was a working horse. He gave his all. It would be sad to see him leave, but his contract is up next year so he will be sold for pure profit as a homegrown player.
They have the money but can't spend it because of PFF. No more 100 mil buys again.
Can you do an analysis of the top clubs and their number of “homegrown” players who are starters or even large contributors? Regardless of the success of the current iteration of Chelsea’s first team, the sentimentality of fans as it regards the kids coming out of the academy is bizarre. This is Chelsea, we have aspirations to be in the Champions League YoY and competing for trophies regularly. I’m sorry, the academy players who show they have ELITE level potential - think Reece James and Levi Colwill - will be kept. Others will be moved on. A successful academy for a club of our stature isn’t about the majority of kids making it into the first team. It’s about developing and identifying the special ones, then the others have received a great footballing education and will go play in the top 5 leagues as successful professionals. That is why kids want to go to Chelsea’s academy, they know they will have a great opportunity to play professional football for a living. Does Conor give us a better chance to win games week and week out over the other players we currently have on the roster in his position(s)? Caicedo, Palmer, Enzo, Lavia, Santos… I’m personally not sure he does. Furthermore, does Conor want to be a bit part player on this team? I’m also not sure he does. Great dude, but if the coach and directors are looking to play in a way that doesn’t suit Conor’s game, why are we trying to force it. If he wants to hold out and leave on a free… he will have to sit the bench for a year. He will still get an opportunity to play after that, but a year is a long time to not play.
Gallagher has more goals and assists than Fernández. Chelsea has a recent history of replacing homegrown players with worse ones. For example no Chelsea striker has scored more than Tammy Abraham's 18 in 19/20 since he was sold. I know I'd rather have Tomori and Guehi than Disasi and Badiashile. I agree Chelsea should look for the best players available at all times. They haven't though, they've squandered money and talent by selling excellent homegrown players for 'pure profit' then spending a mint on the likes of Timo Werner and Wesley Fofana.
