Everyone assumes Poch would even want Dele. Why would he when he can attract more talented and versatile players than him?Can we loan Dele to Poch at PSG for a season? Possibly only he knows how to get Dele playing again.

The result is academic. We were totally outplayed for most part of the game. Only looked on par once Cheatski brought on the reserve reserves. Dele again showing that he's pretty useless unless we play a very specific system. Really limited player. We're missing some players, but atm the Squad is very thin and lacking quality.
Positives:
- Gollini looked like a decent GK. Calm and composed with his feet and some good saves.
- Stadium is awesome.
That's about it.
Lo Celso and Tubs, but need to keep them fit.
Gollini's intelligence is clear. Seems like a lovely bloke. And a bit of a leader at the back. Bodes well.
I wonders if I’m going to get a few followers in us getting him in ASAP to succeed Lloris.
maybe not, one pre season game, but that was what I expected from what I’ve seen previous.
solid competent goalkeeper.
good business we have done here, and getting rid of hart.
Lloris probably has him on shot-stopping. He has that long lightweight frame and fast reactions that probably trump Gollini. But that is just a guess If someone were to offer 25m for Hugo, you'd take it right? Invest half in another keeper, and the rest towards upgrading the squad.
Let’s not dumped Hugo too quickly though.yeah, Hugo probably does have him on shot stopping, as much as I’m not enamoured with him, he can and has pulled off ridiculous saves.
however…
I want a keeper who can inspire more confidence in the defence….
decision making, coming for crosses, non poop distribution.
I see no reason to delay the inevitable,Hugo isn’t the future, this guy can be.
I’d take 25mil yes. Most certainly.
Let’s not dumped Hugo too quickly though.
Wasn't enamoured with the idea of this pre-season tournament, but it may just be the harder games we need going into a tough start.
My view of tonight
- fudging Chelsea really has a ridiculous squad
- Timo is still brick
For us
- Gollini looks solid, good positioning, quick release of the ball, better distribution than Hugo (if that says anything), both goals were his defense leaving him exposed, two really decent saves.
- Lucas and Son again looked the business
- Dele ok, lost the ball way too many times
- A rusty Aurier in 10 minutes was better than 80 minutes of Doherty
- Dier is still just not good enough, doesn't get the basics right
- Skipp starts for us, good to see him and PEH
- We need Ndombele & Lo Celso back in that midfield
- Good to see Bergwijn get his reward for a few shifts this preseason.
2-2 with that squad at Stamford bridge is a decent result (even if the last 20 or so for Chelsea was B team level)
Very good player, but I'm not sure we need another holding midfielder
the sort of CM which we could do with is one who can drive forward from midfield...dare I say it, but like Ramsey who we've been linked with
. Doherty was drudgery wasn't he...
