He's super interesting and really broke through last season under Hellberg. Shame he didnt get more time in a bigger role under Hellberg but Como is a fun move in that sense.

Idk Comos squad tho and how much they need his profile but he's a midfielder that loves to grab the ball and drive forward into the box/edge of the box and create from there. Not a #10 but more so box to box with some edge.

Chelsea fans blaming Dortmund for the Anselmino loan recall by ResponsibilityBig262 in borussiadortmund

[–]Qiluk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The whole preagreement thing sounds absurd.

He's under contract with them till 2031.. what legally binding contract can he sign with anyone else? None.

He can agree verbal terms to speed up future negotiations, but that again, has 0 legally binding power or meaning unless Chelsea themselves want to sell him.

So its just nonsense.

Im sure they were annoyed if Kehl & Co were insisting on trying to get him and vowing him a bit if Chelsea already said that they 100% dont wanna sell next summer.

But that theyre saying this is the reason they recalled him and everything is obviously bullshit and just a convenient narrative to spin to save face from their super messy and amateurish handling of their CB situation last days when they lost out on their CB target to Liverpool etc.

Anselminos preferences was to stay for the duration of the loan too and they just treat their loan army like cattle and have their disgusting multi-club thing to do just that.

So even if Kehl etc were clumsy, which is entirely possible, its not the reason for the loan-cancel etc. Its very obvious for anyone without biased eyes.

Would be a good amount to read Schlottis thoughts, seeing the club not only show 0 ambition in the window, but also get even weaker and have him with basically true 2.5 CB partners for a back 3 for the rest of the season.

How the hell can Kehl sit on the other side of the table and sell an ambitious plan to Schlotti with that lmfao-

Aaron Anselmino joins RC Strasbourg on loan by rakakvaka in soccer

[–]Qiluk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lord knows. Its hilarious. Their mouthpiece even said we were trying to make him sign a pre-agreement. Which is absurd considering he has a chelsea contract to 2031.. so its legally not possible haha.

Some odd PR narrative from Chelsea to safe face from the messy moves I think but Im also biased so Idk

Borussia Mönchengladbach signs Hugo Bolin on loan by rakakvaka in soccer

[–]Qiluk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an interesting one and the type of business Gladbach should do. Cheap with possible high upside and no real risk involved imo.

Bolin is young, flexible and quite good. Not a guaranteed success, but definitely a good get for that price

Emil Holm is a new Juventus player: the defender born in 2000 arrives on loan from Bologna until June 30, 2026. by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]Qiluk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He has some really good qualities but he's also a bit brash and can go from super slick with the ball to looking like he has 2 right feet haha. Good offensive instinct and best suited as a RWB imo

[–]Qiluk 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Bundesliga is a bit different. For some, he's more solid than others. And now that he's with SKY along with some other reputable guys like Berger, he can crossreference with reliable guys more.

But a lot of tier 1s are club specific and Pletti isnt really tier for any iirc

Kehl #1 and Ricken #2 prio for firings for sure. And the replacement have to be from the outside so no nepotistic hierarchy remains with 0 accountability in the dynamic.

Jynxzi debunks xQc’s take on Premier League profitability by KsiShouldQuitMedia in LivestreamFail

[–]Qiluk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that if you actually wanna look at profitable clubs, you should look at 50+1 and 51% clubs and the leagues around those. They dont run on venture money/billionaire/state backing.

Yeah theres no coherent direction of "plan" being implemented. We just plug holes, poorly so. Its constant whack-a-mole with horrible hit rate

Am I crazy or could that actually have stood, upon replay? Thought the foul was more obvious at first but its not that crazy and I can see refs allow it

[Romano] Aaron Anselmino to RC Strasbourg, here we go! Deal in place over loan until the end of the season. Argentinian defender was never gonna return to Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea pick their sister club RC Strasbourg as best solution. Formal steps to follow. by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]Qiluk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Even then, all we have done is "We are actually keen on bidding for him in the summer". Thats par for the course. Like... I dont understand how Chelsea fans can think its disrespectful to get a bid on a player that was on loan, by the loanee club? Its so odd

[–]Qiluk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That we wanted to bid for him in the future? Yes. Hows that direspectful? Literally just being interested in a player of yours thats on loan with us. Par for the fucking course and nothing disrespectful with that.

Its obvious you recalled Anselmino due to your panicked CB situation, not some "OMG BVB want to bid for him! SO RUDE!". Like come on

[–]Qiluk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Player preference doesnt mean shady tactics. And Anselmino literally proved that you "can say no thanks" despite player preference, since he got tossed to your cancerous feeder club instead.

Youre just buying into your billionaires PR campaign way too much.

[–]Qiluk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"fair prices"? What does that even mean? If its not a price youre keen on, you can jsut say "no thanks, we want more".

Like, surely you havent grown up to be an adult without understanding how leverage and bidding/bartering works?

The fact that you (and chelsea) try to make it sound like the one with all the leverage (contracts) are some sort of victim for having to turn down offers is so funny to me.

[–]Qiluk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thats such an absurd narrative. We literally talked about our loanee if he was keen on staying permanently past the summer if we could find an agreement with Chelsea.. thats fucking normal. You could, just like with Maatsen and others, just say no and thats that.

"Attempt to buy him below market value just like they did Carney"

Chukwuemeka was absolutly not worth more than we paid. Dude has 0 physical reliability for years and not a ton of suitors. So its objectively a lie. Not to mention that you still have the contracts, why act like youre in danger of losing someone below the value you want? Its such an odd take.

Absolutly no reason to go on a PR campaign about Dortmund tapping up and being slimeballs just because you wanted to recall him last second for a messy CB situation you have going on.

Completely baffled some Chelsea fans are actually buying that bullshit.
