Had to happen, everyone could see he was massively out of his depth. Sporting Directors should be next

Genuinely baffling how there's people that don't see it with Jeremy Jacquet.
Questioning the move, questioning his level, physicality, the price tag.
Chelsea is paying 70mil for a reason, he's simply one if the biggest unicorns out there, one of the best CB prospects with such a complete skillset.
You're paying for his current level, his potential and Rennes are a team that knows how to sell + contract that's ending in 2029.
He's amazing young CB who can easily go to the very top if he's put in right situation.

Scouting report on Jérémy Jacquet
English
@KierDoyle Felt like we moved the ball quicker from the defence too. Less walking it up the pitch / stopping and putting our foot on it etc
English
My only tactical takeaway from that game compared to Maresca era Chelsea is that Chelsea got up 2-0 and the risk tolerance for transitions to get 3/4/5 went up, instead of trying to take the air out of the ball.
I suspect this will continue.

@KierDoyle Wonder if they see him as much as a no.9 option/solution as they do LW?
English
I'm inclined to squint at the fee given his level of underlying production but 1) I think he is such a top ball striker with both feet he is a + finisher and 2) think he scales better to a team like Chelsea than his underlyings.
I'd want to plusvalenze George or something tho

🚨 Big battle ongoing for Antoine Semenyo as Chelsea also called today to enquire on deal conditions. Manchester United and Manchester City in talks with player’s camp for days, talks remain underway. Liverpool are also interested since November. £65m clause expires on Jan 10.
English
@ChicagoDmitry Agree - Josh is the worry though, will have lots of suitors
English
@RobBlake123 I'd probably move Sarr before Anselmino, but yes, you're right
English
What's your number for Anselmino?
I think I'd probably do it for £55m. I think there's no chance Dortmund offers anything close to that.
Simon Phillips@siphillipssport
Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl wants to sign Aaron Anselmino permanently: “I will have to pick up the phone in the next few days and will certainly call them. We hope that Aarón will stay on, of course. We have a very good connection with Chelsea.”

@ChicagoDmitry Given we have Colwill, Bada, Josh, Sarr and Fofana all 24 and under, it feels like one or two difficult decisions need to be made. (That’s before Trev and Tosin)
English
Crazily immature and ill-disciplined 🤯

🟥 Chelsea have received a red card in 6 of their last 9 games. 🔹 Robert Sanchez vs. Manchester United (PL) 🔹 Finished with 11 players against Lincoln City (CC) 🔹 Trevoh Chalobah vs. Brighton (PL) 🔹 Joao Pedro vs. Benfica (CL) 🔹 Enzo Maresca vs. Liverpool (PL) 🔹 Malo Gusto vs. Nottingham Forest (PL) 🔹 Finished with 11 players against Ajax (CL) 🔹 Finished with 11 players against Sunderland (PL) 🔹 Liam Delap vs. Wolves (CC) (via @TheAthleticFC)
English
@KierDoyle Caicedo wouldn’t have been who’d I’d select as his replacement there, but I believe Gusto is injured
English
Why would you go Caicedo RB today with Gusto out next weekend? Bizarre
English
@KierDoyle Lacking a LCB massively. Every time Trev gets the ball it goes back to the goalie or across goal. Need someone who can bring the ball out so either Cucu or Hato.
English
Lavia, Neto, Gusto off for Caicedo, Estevao, 1 of Guiu/George at half.
Filipino
🔵🇧🇷 It’s Estevão’s first time ever at Stamford Bridge in his whole life… and he scores, kisses the badge, opens his new chapter at Chelsea.
English
@KierDoyle Wouldn’t say disarray but of the 5 CBs you mention, one has just got injured and 2 are constantly injured. Veiga will be gone and we all know that Josh/Hato aren’t going to start consecutive PL games at CB at 19 years old - that’s just the reality of it even if I’m tempted.
English
Chelsea have 5 center backs (Colwill Tosin Fofana Chalobah Benwa), 2 more players who can play CB (Josh, Hato), and a loan CB (Veiga).
1 injury and it’s in disarray.
Imagine how people are going to react if Jackson goes and 1 of JP/Delap pull a hammy.
