  1. Really just makes logical sense

    I didn’t even realize how many players we have that don’t need to be registered because they’re u21 still in the first team

    So there’s more than enough space for Chilly although I don’t think this means he’ll be a regular starter or anything like that unless injuries

    Imagine being told you’re not part of the system, but then because the club couldn’t do anything with you, you’re suddenly part of the system again. This clubs treats the players like shit at times.

  3. He’s not in the conference squad because that was registered while they were still trying to push him out to open windows like in Turkey. Now these windows are closing so it makes sense to reintegrate rather than rot. It’s all a game of chicken. The exact same thing would have happened to sterling.

  4. It just doesn’t make any sense to beat up on Chili. Clearly his role and injuries are what they are but there’s definitely going to moments where he can help us / provide cover. Plus he’s been all in since his transfer. We STILL don’t have a real striker. It’s legit been a decade of darkness on that front. Enzo’s commentary on him still irks me.

  5. Never understand the negativity for Chilly, often on this sub.
    He’s still one of the best left backs in the PL, when fit.

  6. Sick. I’ve been saying he will play this season despite the reports. Just doesn’t make sense to freeze him out given Gusto’s knock last season and Reece being made of glass. We just need fullbacks. Preferably fit ones.

  7. Chilly being frozen out didn’t sit well. He’s not like Sterling where you ever questioned his commitment

  8. I’m glad but doesn’t this just mean that they’re bluffing when they tell players who they want out “if you stay, you won’t play”.

    Breaks my heart to see him on the outskirts of the first team. He’s my favourite active Chelsea player. I hope he can get minutes this year and get a nice send off from our fans if it’s deemed he’s surplus to requirements. Will never forget his crucial goal contributions in our UCL run.

    I mean we have no senior RB available and we have Cucu and Chilwell, with Cucu being able to cover the RB position as he did in the past.
