Fermin Or Simons

The way I am looking at the two, Fermin looks to me like a right footed version of Palmer with how he plays and moves. He is someone you can substitute Palmer with and get an almost same if not the same output with same space and ball manipulation.

With what we are trying to achieve with almost similar players per position, he could be an alternative to Palmer when he is unavailable. The question is, how often is Palmer unavailable?

Simons on the other hand is almost a master in tight spaces. More like how Hazard used to force spaces in congested areas. In a game that's locked the way Palace was, this could be your key.

If I had to choose one option only, in consideration of our squad's current attributes, I'd pick Simons. Not because Fermin is bad, but because he can give us something different in tightly locked games.

But again,

The Directors know better.

I would love to see that Barcelona's high-line at Stamford Bridge. We're going to feast so bad in transitions...

Vision of Caicedo , Through balls of Palmer ,Speed of Neto and finishing of João / Delap. 🙌

They're Ready 😤

The level of confidence/ Arrogance

💙💙

Real ball knowledge is remembering João Pedro career at Watford.. mahn popped out of nowhere and was scoring goals for fun

If its any comfort remember that Atalanta are no longer managed by Gasperini they're managed by Ivan Juric. It's a much less scary proposition than any time in the last few years.

How many goals are you expecting from Garnacho this season, Blues? 👀

🚨David Ornstein: Clubs have struggled to figure out Simons’ best role. At Leipzig he’s played a very specific type of No.10 — part winger, part second striker — and not many teams in Europe use that system. Because of that uncertainty, clubs were reluctant to pay a big fee for him.

Do you think this was why Chelsea was reluctant to pay up?👀💬
