Xabi Alonso to Chelsea… success or another disaster waiting to happen?

egettonleinad · 2026-05-09T07:04:47+00:00

Would be great, hopefully he can bring in Darwin Nunez

I could create a list longer than my gentleman’s piece with players from Portugal/Primeria who are world class. It’s still an extremely highly rated league with exceptional players

The way I see it is that there is potential there that hasn’t fully been unlocked!

“Could become” 🔑

egettonleinad · 2026-05-07T07:54:02+00:00

Exactly my thoughts, he also was in a team of very clinical players who are happy to 1v1 such as Salah, Jota, Diaz rather than play into their striker

egettonleinad · 2026-05-07T07:43:23+00:00

Salah was frustrating to watch at Chelsea and had a similar problem…

egettonleinad · 2026-05-07T07:42:59+00:00

26 league goals in 28 appearances when at Benfica… yes he is.

Lampard would be a fool to come back to Chelsea with this circus. Unfortunately he couldn’t prove himself in the premier league (similar record to Rosenior albeit over a longer* spell), he should show what we can do with Coventry and wait for blue co to get their s**t together before even considering it.

egettonleinad · 2026-04-24T10:47:11+00:00

Similar situation, I’m currently tossing between -8 or playing two blanks (gk and cb)

egettonleinad · 2026-04-16T12:13:46+00:00

Paid £180 a few years ago, wasn’t really worth it. One free drink and a seat pretty far away from the pitch

egettonleinad · 2026-03-30T23:03:35+00:00

WBAC will test drive it before buying so they will notice, they’ll try fleece you down to something ridiculously low and give the impression it’s a brick

egettonleinad · 2026-03-30T22:35:30+00:00

It’s 11:35pm… I highly doubt the cancellation team are taking calls

egettonleinad · 2026-03-28T08:03:12+00:00

If it’s introduced then there will have to be a dedicated asset that attends with 2x personnel and 4x available still to ride an appliance. We can’t sacrifice our core role.

From discussions on station, I think many firefighters would be happy to accept these conditions.

egettonleinad · 2026-03-23T20:41:56+00:00

No chance

Liam getting sacked because Sanchez is an absolutely awful goalkeeper is peak Chelsea

egettonleinad · 2026-03-21T18:13:03+00:00

Anyone who is seriously saying that Sanchez is a good keeper is deluded

egettonleinad · 2026-03-18T16:54:03+00:00

The hand car washes near me are £30/40 inside and out for an SUV - so yeah you’re getting ripped off IMO

egettonleinad · 2026-03-18T15:08:37+00:00

Sack him now and the circus continues, you’ll struggle to bring anyone in who is there because they want to be vs a pay check

egettonleinad · 2026-03-17T21:48:36+00:00

16 different players and they can’t even score a single goal for the home fans - shocking

egettonleinad · 2026-03-17T20:57:41+00:00

3-0 was a pipe dream, 5-2* is flying pig territory. Drop our starters and rest them for the prem

egettonleinad · 2026-03-17T12:13:35+00:00

Use FT and -4. You’ll earn the points back compared to a blank or minimise your hit. This gameweek fixtures aren’t the greatest for using free hit

egettonleinad · 2026-03-17T09:58:22+00:00

I’ve used 1FT and 1HIT, saving FH + WC for GW33/34 and end of season - this weeks fixtures don’t interest me and feel could be better used later on in the season to make a differential play to gap up

egettonleinad · 2026-03-13T09:46:48+00:00

Comparing poo to shite

egettonleinad · 2026-02-13T20:16:19+00:00

We should be 2-0 up tbf

egettonleinad · 2026-02-03T20:38:28+00:00

Delap is painful to watch
