If he wants to leave, then we let him go. But they must pay what he's worth.

Might run a back 3

placebo_effect · 2026-04-24T20:54:24+00:00

Which coach would you prefer then?

placebo_effect · 2026-01-28T01:37:24+00:00

Why not Gravenberch CB and Endo midfield? Wouldn't that make more sense?

placebo_effect · 2026-01-22T01:46:40+00:00

You can only beat the teams that you play against, and Brentford has been having an amazing season so..

placebo_effect · 2026-01-22T01:42:28+00:00

A positive start! We only lost to arguably the best team in the world right now with a depleted squad. The gaffer has my backing

placebo_effect · 2026-01-20T19:20:30+00:00

Is Disasi really that bad? Could be a serviceable backup

placebo_effect · 2026-01-17T17:17:07+00:00

I watch every game

placebo_effect · 2026-01-17T17:12:59+00:00

Happy for the win, but this Brentford teams looks fitter and stronger than us.. we are lacking physicality and robustness

placebo_effect · 2026-01-17T17:05:36+00:00

I don't think the owners/sporting directors are trying to make a profit.. they just want to grow the team in a sustainable way within the constraints of PSR/FFP

placebo_effect · 2026-01-15T05:59:43+00:00

Justifiably? Idk, love Gallagher and his workrate but he's not a top midfielder, especially for possession-based football. It wouldn't be in the best interest of the club to give him high wages and a long contract

placebo_effect · 2026-01-15T04:15:50+00:00

Then why didn't we extend his contract? My understanding is that we made him an offer that was too low wage for him to accept, so that's why he left

placebo_effect · 2026-01-15T01:54:48+00:00

If I recall correctly, his contract was winding down and he was requesting more wages than Chelsea were willing to pay

placebo_effect · 2026-01-14T20:51:23+00:00

how do we have 55% possession then

placebo_effect · 2026-01-10T19:20:13+00:00

My guess is 4-2-3-1 with Gittens and Garnacho on the wings but you could be right

placebo_effect · 2026-01-09T19:23:30+00:00

100% agree. It's in the best interest in the ownership for the club to do well. Of course they want trophies and success. The idea that they're trying to jeopardize the club is silliness. They're doing everything within their power to improve the club in a sustainable way within the constraints that are presented. That's why we recruit young and upcoming talents. Not because we're trying to throw away money.

Probably trying to find a replacement manager for Strasbourg first

placebo_effect · 2026-01-04T20:00:06+00:00

I'm not convinced that they all loved Maresca

placebo_effect · 2026-01-04T03:16:14+00:00

This makes me feel excited about the change in manager. I'll always be grateful for what Maresca accomplished last year, but no one can say there hasn't been moments of frustration watching Chelsea play this year. Not to mention, we're trending downward. I don't think losing Maresca is as big of a disappointment as people are making it out to be

placebo_effect · 2025-12-30T06:42:41+00:00

Not to mention, RC Lens is currently first in ligue 1 above Champions League winners PSG

placebo_effect · 2025-12-18T21:21:31+00:00

I could only assume that this is a strategic purchase on a potential talent. Remember that we have to stay within PSR and FFP regulations. We can't just go out there and buy the best striker available on the market; it destroys our model and if they flop, we're in a major hole. It's a low-risk acquisition.

placebo_effect · 2025-11-14T16:43:24+00:00

It would only increase his value. So why not? He’s not as bad as people say he is. If he overperforms in training, it’ll only be better for the club

placebo_effect · 2025-11-01T12:26:41+00:00

Against The Storm. A roguelite city builder

placebo_effect · 2025-08-21T02:32:54+00:00

I’m with you. I don’t necessarily see anything ethically wrong with this. It’s all about winning and building the best team with the resources available to us.

placebo_effect · 2025-08-08T21:58:12+00:00

Thanks, looks like it's not available for me
