Gittens
While I had my reservation on the Kids price Tag, this is no longer an issue as he could finally be joining.
But what do I like about him?
Four things.
1.Directness
2. Strength and power
3. Ability to dribble comfortably to any side. Add to his growing footwork, you get the unpredictability required for a winger.
4. Ability to take shots in micro spaces.
While my biggest frustration with Sancho was his frequent braking ,lack of constant meaningful penetration and frequent and careless loss of balls, Gittens tries to target dangerous areas aggressively rather than being passive.
Sometimes he is tempted to take some timid baby shots, but he tries to take them frequently. This is something however we all want around the box. We can only hope that with time they will get better.
We are getting a good player with the potential to be amazing. With these kids you only hope they can have the right mentality and attitude. And the sky will never be the limit.

It's difficult trying to figure out Maresca's tactical decisions and game objectives, of course unless you are himself.
Like the game against Flamengo when we were ranting and whining, maybe the man knew he was planning to lose the battle but win the war. Loose the match in favour of favourable fixtures run in. Genius.
And even now with the recent tactical adjustments, I have a feeling the man could already be planning how to counter the likes of PSG in later stages.
When he over thinks like Pep and it backfires, fans hate
When he out-foxes opponents like Pep, fans cherish
Damned if you do. Damned if you don't

Our scouting strategy is Brighton or Man City academy & Inshallah πππ
For those wondering how Chelsea have managed to spend so much money on players, take a look at the exit door over the last decade. Nobody does it better when it comes to player sale profits. The whole point about player trading is that trading involves buying and selling. Throw in a further Β£350m of real estate and women's team sales, plus some player registrations being amortised over 8-9 years and they have nothing to worry about from a PSR perspective.
