There's a Chelsea thread mate.
I seem to have already read this tweet half a dozen times before
I think it's a fallacy to analyze teams based on their personnel. Yes, Liverpool have lost Mane (but they have Diaz), Chelsea lost two good CBs (but the transfer window still has 7 weeks to go), and City got Haaland who people think will disrupt their system (but does it, really?). All these sides have top top managers who can get the best out of their players and adapt their systems. Just look at what Conte did with us without pre-season and with the skint squad we had. No one would have given us a snowball's chance in hell looking at our squad, but once we got a head of steam, we were the second best team in the league in the final third of the season.
So discount our opponents at your own peril. I think all four of us, Chelsea, Pool, and City will be top teams, who can beat each other on their day. And all four of us are better than the teams below us. The important thing will be who will be more consistent. Because, at the end of the day, we'll all take points off each other, but it's how we fare in all the other matches that will make the difference.

I think what gives City & Liv the edge over us is their ability to break down teams parking the bus. We're still missing a creative element, which we saw in our loss to Brighton towards the end of last season.
Against the top teams, we're pretty much as good as any team in the world imo. Not a coincidence we drew to Liverpool twice and beat City twice.
Adding Bissouma and Perisic enhances that further, they're consistently brilliant against top teams.
Shame he's gone to Brentford - really think we missed out on possibly best attacking players in the Championship, Hull fans rate his as being slightly better than Bowen (based upon goals/assists at a similar age), who went from Hull to Wham - he had better goals/assists numbers than all players at Spurs last season other than Kane and Son.
We will have a spare HG place which he could have taken as our 6th forward (after Kane, Son, Richarlison, Kulusevski and Moura) and would be a decent back up to Kulusevski (albeit inexperienced in PL - but Championship is a better training ground for PL than most european leagues for its speed and physicality mixed with skill)
You're right..... Time for some movie chat......
Q. What's your favourite Bond film?
Beating them once would have been enough to finish 3rd.
Beat them twice the year before; we finish 4th and they'd have dropped into the ECL.
Sure but he would have gotten literally zero game time. At Brentford he’s probably going to be a main attacker considering they have no quality players.
Can't escape the fact that a lot of these lads will shoot for regular gametime (Bowen included). Good on them in all honesty.
Like Eze & Co. at Palace; a couple of good years and the big hitters will be all over them.
I think we're in a tough situation with bringing in players like that.. expectations are too high to give him serious minutes if he doesn't hit the ground running.. and good players don't want to be bought and farmed out on loan. Bergwijn will likely start up front for the Netherlands in the upcoming World Cup and he couldn't sniff minutes even before Richarlison came along. For the players sake, moving to a lower/mid table club is the best move. Same probably goes for somebody like Eze.
Up to Conte if he plays him.
With the schedule next season plenty of scope. If Conte's prepared to risk buying Spence , this guy is a similar risk imo.
If we think he can play, then as an HG player, we gain an extra player in the squad, could even retain Royal if he's at all unsure of Spence..
TBH, I have no idea who any are, or when they signed any of them
Huh?
Signed by the Weekend?
As a back up dancer most likely from the looks of that picture.
My guess is that’s why Parrott is in SK instead of locking up a loan. Conte wants to test him out to be our sixth attacker and HG player.
Troy is under 21 for both EPL and UEFA so does not take up a squad place.
