agreed. I feel like Palmer has more influence on the game when heās on the right and drifts in. Seems like he gets lost and doesnāt have enough time on the ball when heās played in middle.
Depth is great but only if the players are content with rotating. That 13/14 Chelsea squad was stacked in terms of depth but even despite us being closer to title contenders back then compared to now, we couldnāt keep all three of Mata, Oscar and KDB. Lukaku demanded to go on loan because he didnāt want to compete with Torres, Ba and Etoāo and Salah similarly had to go as the 4th/5th choice winger behind Hazard, Willian, Schurrle and Cuadrado.
Luckily the one benefit of this heavy youth strategy is these players might be more willing to accept being rotated at first but weāre going to need to be seriously competing for top trophies consistently if we want to keep all these players happy.
Iād assume that both Paez and William donāt come straight into the first team in 2025 so they act as the replacement for Nkunku in a couple seasons when Nkunku is approaching 30 and they are approaching 21
I have a feeling that Estevao might get loaned to Strasbourg. He needs to add muscle to his body. Same can be said for Paez, but the thing is Paez is already playing at an international level so he might be rotated a lot in his first season at Chelsea to help him adjust to the EPL.
We now have Sterling, Mudryk, Carney, Madueke, Nkunku, Omari, Hutchinson, Palmer.
Assuming we sell Hutchinson, loan Kellyman, sell Sterling....we would still need to sell one of Mudryk, Madueke or Carney by 2025 to make space for Estevao and Paez.
Take that global warming

Lol if you thought the hate on chelsea was bad before, its only going to get worse when these guys hit form
Bring me back to the days when Arsenal fans hated us because Drogba gave them PTSD
Lol! Drogba and diego costa, i have friends who didny watch the match cause they would lose it watching us slaughter them
IF
When*
Yeah i said IF you thought it was bad, and i meant WHEN they hit form
The IF stands for In Form actually
Ahh my bad, carry onš¤
Paez really looks like the next best thing. Genuinely thing he can have a massive impact at the club

Cold Front coming
Winter is Coming
Estavao looks really good for 17 but I am so incredibly hyped for Kendry! He looks so mature in the way he plays
They cold
They all play in the same positions too...weregonna start every match with 6 players as right wing
Paez and Palmer can both comfortably play CAM
Iād say CAM is their preferred position over RW
Donāt know enough about Paez to say either way but personally I feel Palmer is better at RW drifting into CAM
agreed. I feel like Palmer has more influence on the game when heās on the right and drifts in. Seems like he gets lost and doesnāt have enough time on the ball when heās played in middle.
So does Nkunku, where are we gonna fit everyone?
Well once we qualify for champions league this year weāre gonna need rotations when we win the quadruple
I thought the plan was to win the sextuple
Rotation
At one point we had Mata, Willian, Oscar, Hazard and more and made it work. There will be rotation for sure.
Imagine having depth, some of the guys in here seem to have never heard of the concept
Exactly, same thing with Enzo, Caicedo, and Gallagher. Would be nice to play 2 of the 3 and rotate.

On the fieldšš
I think nkunkus future will depend on what season he has this year although it's not unknown for Nkunku to play from the left side or striker.
Weāre vibes FC bro we donāt ask that kind of question anymore
Iād assume that both Paez and William donāt come straight into the first team in 2025 so they act as the replacement for Nkunku in a couple seasons when Nkunku is approaching 30 and they are approaching 21
paez can play across the midfield, palmer also and at striker, messinho i assume can too.

The reported plan for Estevao was to bring him into the first team immediately, so I'm not sure he'll be loaned to be honest
First team immediately for preseason*
>I have a feeling that Estevao might get loaned to Strasbourg I hope so.
New PEP coming to town
They'll be hatin' us cause they ain't us
I donāt know why but Estevao kind of looks like Cole Palmer a bit lol Brazilian Palmer
Great signing for Chelsea https://x.com/youthscout1ng/status/1774859372084035951?s=46&t=FEnNVz1vXOH-mQeeVuyaVg
Palmer is a locked XI, will they both stay?
Fast forward next season
Two of them will be 18. It will be more like 2028.

All play in the same position.
Same brainless positivity every year, same shit performances follow.
Iād hate to be as miserable as you
