Chelsea have won the race to sign hot Belgian prospect Charly Musonda, beating Premiership rivals Arsenal and Manchester City

Musonda, the son of former Zambia international Charles Musonda, has made the switch to Stamford Bridge from Anderlecht with his brothers Lamisha and Tika.

Chelsea only wanted the younger one apprently but the father said they come as a package. Good work on his part tbf, took care of the family nice

Chelsea scout Piet de Visser explain “Belgium is just bursting with talent. Why should we pick players from South America if we can find that calibre in Europe and the boys adjust more easily? It is important to attract these young players as early as possible so we don’t have to pay (Eden) Hazard prices. I first saw Eden when he was 15 but Lille had moved too quickly. Chelsea were alerted to De Bruyne and Courtois at the right moment. I watched De Bruyne for two years.”

De Bruyne is the least athletic human on earth.

Good luck scorchy boy.

Eh? He's nowhere near that bad. He's about average tbf.

Where did you get that from? You're probably going by his fifa stats

Rumor is he might be going to Southampton on loan. Gonna tear it up

 

[Gilver]

Nah m8. Real football experts go by FM stats.

 

[Gilver]

So i just went on FM to check if he actually was any good.

Spoiler

Sorry m8, looks like you sell him to Bordeux in 2016 him having never made a league appearance for the club, having been farmed out on loan several times, including to Sunderland and Villareal.

Guys a fukking bum, official.

 

[Gilver]

And to think, in an alternate reality where he never went to Chelsea and instead signed for my FC Utrecht side first...

Spoiler

He would have won 3 Eredivisie league title, 1 Dutch cup, 2 Dutch community shield equivalents, a CL runners up medal, and a CL WINNERS medal.

Sometimes players make the wrong choice, this is what awaits you Hazard, bordeaux by 2016

 

[concise]

Suazo should have never left Calgiari.


Altho I always feel he was older than he claimed because he used to be very fast and then just fell off a cliff at 28.

Spoiler

Age: 26

Although he seems to have developed into a very good player tbh.

 

[Gilver]

You must not play FM, that's not very good.

He's a lot better in my Utrecht game. Though i'm great at developing players tbf.

 

[SCORCH]

Haven't played FM in about 4-5 years.

You should buy some PSV kid named Zakaria Bakkali if he's in the current game. Looks a beast

 

[Gilver]

He's not on it, can't be serious wonder kid status then, FM usually has a good nose for these things.

 

[Gilver]

But regardless, he's probably not as good as Nick Powell

Breh, the De Bruyne from the Utrecth game has a CL winners medal, and he's my best player

Beat Real Madrid 1-0 in the final

This was a year after losing the final to PSG.


I never manage United now, i find myself to bogged down in trying to be realistic.

That first De Bruyne screen is from my current Carlisle game, in 2017/18, haven't won the prem yet, came 2nd last year though, and my first season in the CL 2 seasons ago i got to the final and lost to City

Squad average age of 21 tbf


And breh, where's the facepacks/logos? Your screenies lookin real
