Please PSG, don’t be donkeys. He’s too good, we need him.
According to….AS.
I believe it. I think PSG have accepted (behind the scenes) that Mbappe is Madrid bound even if they act otherwise in public. I think they've targeted Dembele to be his replacement

Timo Werner feels more 'comfortable' playing for Germany than Chelsea
The 26-year-old has not lived up to expectations at Chelsea after joining the Blues for £53million from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2020. However, he was on target in Germany's 2-0 win over Israel.
@toheeb27 one to watch out for next season...
England boss Gareth Southgate has praised Conor Gallagher for his performance against Switzerland on Saturday but admitted his midfield partnership with Mason Mount left the Three Lions “vulnerable” defensively.
Assisting Luke Shaw for the equaliser on the stroke of half-time, he maintained his impressive form with an industrious display which earned him the plaudits of his manager.
Speaking to Sky Sports in his post-match interview, Southgate said of Gallagher: “He’s infectious, isn’t he? I think he can set the tone for the rest of the team, we see that with his club every week.
“He presses with ambition. Some players get close to people and don’t actually win the ball. He goes and he makes contact and he turns a lot of ball over.
“In the first half that was important. We actually didn’t use that ball well enough. We had three or four moments in attacking transitions where, with a better pass or a better decision, we should have capitalised before we did on the first goal.”
However, Gallagher’s inclination to push forward alongside another attack-minded midfielder in Mason Mount created defensive issues for England, according to Southgate, who was forced into a tactical switch.
“We feel that Mount and Gallagher are very good at pressing and are two attacking 8s,” he said.
“But we know that that system can leave you a bit vulnerable to the switches to the opposite full-back and the Swiss worked that out very well – which is why we made the change of shape in the second half.

They had Jordan Henderson “protecting “ them, which is not the most ideal. When Lampard tried the “attacking 8s” in his last season with us, he used Kante as the defensive midfield (and buried Jorginho on the bench, lol).@toheeb27 one to watch out for next season...

Doubt Tuchel uses that formation. They can both play together, but one of them is going to have to be more responsible defensively if that happens.
Them Chelsea boys love spending time in Miami, huh lol
