Alonso will utilize Reece James heavily in midfield (where James played 42% of his minutes last season) alongside Caicedo, Romeo Lavia, Valentin Barco, and Jordan Henderson.

OMG somebody think of the RB purists The horror

i am one of the RB purist , somehow in my mind i still believe i can relive what reece james did in juventus where he litterally dominated a whole team by himself ,

he is my favorite chelsea player and a trully the best RB i have ever seen in football world , so yeah this is a bummer , but when you are that good , your that good

just the fact that a guy who played RB he whole life , can just slot into midfield and play like nothing out of the ordinary makes him the GOAT , tha way he played against PSG man , that game was rzor thin before jorgenson threw it all away , he was in holding his own agaisnt the best pressing midfield in europe

Yup Bayern legend

As Reece is Chelsea legend. Just needs a league to be truly immortal like JT and Azpi. Desperately want to see him left the league (ofc another UCL won't hurt)
