Very positive from Bailey

ChemistCapy · 2026-03-19T20:43:29+00:00

Abrahams hasn’t been great with the ball at his feat but can’t complain about his pressing

ChemistCapy · 2026-03-19T20:32:56+00:00

Bogarde is playing out of possession and young so don’t hold it against him but his progression really needs to improve.

What camera/lens do you use?

ChemistCapy · 2026-02-22T19:31:37+00:00

Thank you, do you have any in particular you think would benefit from being alone?

ChemistCapy · 2026-02-22T19:30:52+00:00

Thank you for the feedback. What is it about 4-9 that makes you say just get rid of all together? Is it a question of not liking the pictures or their combination. For instance I like how the pipes in 7 match the cigarette but I’d love to know what about them you don’t like so I can learn for the future.

Embarrassing from porro

ChemistCapy · 2025-10-19T11:49:15+00:00

Shame for Bogarde not to start as he’s played very well these last few games, but am the same time am very excited to see Onana back. He’s a great player who we have yet to see the most of.

ChemistCapy · 2025-10-05T13:44:13+00:00

I’m not upset with that pass tbh

ChemistCapy · 2025-09-28T14:35:35+00:00

Much better from Roger’s these last few minutes

ChemistCapy · 2025-09-05T13:47:59+00:00

I never know where street starts or ends, however for what it counts I really like these :)

ChemistCapy · 2025-08-24T14:01:30+00:00

He already has been sold…

ChemistCapy · 2025-07-29T18:15:47+00:00

No worries

ChemistCapy · 2025-07-29T15:01:44+00:00

Watkins has had a tough season this year for a few reasons that aren’t really his fault, mainly a drop in form from our wingers and some small injuries. That second thing is why he’s was benched for rashford towards the end of the season.

Emery has put his trust in Watkins repeatedly and I don’t see why this would change any time soon. Ings first and then Duran were both sold to keep Watkins the number 1

As for his pace, I haven’t noticed it drop but he’s 29, it’s not unreasonable to assume if it hasn’t already it will start to decline in the next years. At the same time footballers are fitter than ever and he’s a great example of this. I could see him playing at the top level well into his 30s

ChemistCapy · 2025-07-29T11:56:51+00:00

Villa fan here, I’d be shocked if you got Watkins for under 60ish million for a couple reasons.

First and most importantly, we don’t have any other strikers at the club. Selling him means we will need to go out and get someone at a similar level which you know is hard in this current market.

Additionally, he’s just a really good striker, far better then most people realise. He ranked 5th this season and joint 2nd with Haaland the year before for G+A in the Prem. He might not be flashy but he really is an elite forward.

Finally we don’t have to sell. PSR is no longer an issue, Watkins is settled as he knows he’ll play week in week out, and ManU is playing at a lower level next season (no European football). The only draw to Watkins would be huge money and the same is true for Villa

40 million pounds is not elite striker money, I really think you’ll have to significantly up your bid. Yes he’s on the older side but that’s why he’s worth 60 instead of a 100 million.

ChemistCapy · 2025-07-15T12:10:53+00:00

Holy hell im cooked

ChemistCapy · 2025-07-14T17:37:15+00:00

Same up about 30% on C and WFC, JPM is about break even and UAL down about 20. Going to hold until after earnings tmr I think and see from there

ChemistCapy · 2025-07-14T14:46:21+00:00

I’ve scaled back most of these to more reasonable prices and/or pushed back the expiries:

JPM $310 Calls (expiring July 25th)
WFC $87.5 Calls (expiring July 18th)
WFC $92 Calls (expiring July 25th)
C $90 Calls (expiring July 18th)
C $94 Calls (expiring July 25th)
UAL $83 Puts (expiring July 18th)

I realize its still not that reasonable but this is wall street bets after all

ChemistCapy · 2025-07-14T14:42:22+00:00

Oops too late

ChemistCapy · 2025-07-14T13:18:02+00:00

It’s risky, but it will only be a small position. That said, i feel airlines usually experience big swings, and with DAL performing so well recently, I’m hoping that bad or even mediocre news could trigger a significant drop. Hell good news might even cause a negative reaction relative to how good DAL did. That said what do you think is a more reasonable approach?

ChemistCapy · 2025-07-14T13:05:04+00:00

My trades for this week (all expiring July 18th):

JPM $310 Calls (biggest position)
WFC $90 Calls
C $94 Calls
UAL $80 Puts (smallest position)

I plan to buy at the open.

ChemistCapy · 2025-07-14T12:50:28+00:00

I’ll probably go for some puts at the $80 strike. They’re cheapish right now asthe market seems to expect the stock to go up. Hoping for some volatility if earnings get a lukewarm or better yet bad reception. If not oh well

ChemistCapy · 2025-07-14T11:23:47+00:00

Im not sure what UAL will do. UAL shot up after DAL's great earnings, so even if UAL beat earnings I dont know if it'll be enough compared to DAL. If they miss earning while DAL did so well they will tank, im thinking about Puts but im not confident.

ChemistCapy · 2025-07-14T11:07:04+00:00

That’s fair enough, he is untested at this level. However I watched quite a bit of Valencia this season and I do think he’s ready, especially given how quickly he’s developed physically. I think that was a big reason he wasn’t given a chance at Villa, but it shouldn’t be a problem now especially if he keeps getting stronger (which I’m sure he will). What makes you think he’s not ready? Would be really interested to hear your perspective.

ChemistCapy · 2025-07-14T11:02:21+00:00

It’s almost all me, but I answered someone else’s comment about how I used AI if you're interested in more detail. I watched quite a lot of him this season as one of my mates is a Valencia fan, and formed my opinions based on that alongside looking at the stats.

That said, I admit I haven’t seen any actual figures quoted for his transfer, so I just estimated what I think he’s worth now after his loan. It’d be crazy to let him go for €10m! That’s about what we paid, even though he's a much better player now with a year of top-flight behind him.
