the World Cup shout at #20 is particularly good, and I would add that it'll be as important from a fitness perspective as a tactical one. favorites are often ok with growing into the tournament so that they hit peak stamina in the quarters or semis, but you won't be able to bank on that this time around, with none of the summer ramp down to ramp up time. deeper squads will be key, or an insanely fit first XI that maybe hasn't logged that many European minutes
This summer really does feel like a summer of significant turnover for Chelsea, as you even thought using 2 of your predictions on their summer moves. If I were a betting man I'd say we sell Pulisic and Ziyech and let Rudiger and one of Azpi and Christensen leave on a free. As much as I'd love to have Guehi or Tomori back, I don't think we'll get one of them this summer. We've been trying for Jules Kounde for a while and will probably get him, and maybe this is just optimism on my part but Levi Colwill is having an incredible season for Huddersfield and I could see him returning from loan at just the right time to stake a claim for the spot Rudiger will be vacating. What I think would be more likely is buying back Tino Livramento from Southampton, especially because we have a 25(?) million pound buyback clause, thus freeing up Reece to take some CB minutes if need be. I also think our injuries have exposed the need for a midfielder, particularly with Kante on the wrong side of 30. I think the best bet is probably that we go for Aurelian Tchouameni from Monaco, but honestly this could be pretty much anyone. Could even just be the club backing Billy Gilmour to step up and play significant minutes returning from Norwich, or maybe even Conor Gallagher if we wanna get spicy with it. Do you have any ideas on comings or goings from a Liverpool POV? Christopher Nkunku seems like just about the most slam dunk Liverpool signing I've ever seen from his stats, but I'm not really sure where the squad is in terms of turnover from the CL winning front 3 and the new attack focused around Jota.
Just catching up with your articles, and the crypto shout has already come true thanks to a certain JT selling tulips.

PSG to sign Salah in the summer?
