Mamadou Sarr

You know, Santos is on the bench.

Mamadou Sarr has become irrelevant at Chelsea again.

So we need to be careful about how much we hype these Strasbourg guys up.

Yeah, I think but but I was gonna say also prior to the game, way i did a preview and i i said that the fullbacks were going to be a big issue because i knew doggy was out for the game i actually thought that van der veen might start a left back um right to kind of have that size so yeah and also because they they like to go direct sometimes in the channel to neto or sometimes wide to rogers for his you know physicality and i think he's been he's been like that that outlet for them all season and obviously Archie Gray or Pedro Porro at right back who I thought might come back in either one of those that's a mismatch with Rodgers and then obviously Robertson at left back athletic wise Neto's obviously going to be able to outrun him so I thought those those things were going to be a concern but I also felt like can go long obviously but you also have to then gain some control of the match and i thought there was a point in that game where spurs were bossing it in midfield a lot and every time the chelsea got back possession they were too eager to go direct and i felt like they probably should have just slowed it down a little bit and gained a bit of control before then trying to test that back line because to be honest The momentum was already with Spurs.

Como.

Mamadou Sarr not doing great at Real Sociedad he made three starts and then was dropped I watched him against Bournemouth in the Europa League and I have to say didn't look great there either looks like a player that was rushed back to Chelsea at a bad time and it wasn't great for his career when he was kind of getting consistent minutes I think with Liam Rossini in Strasbourg and it kind of feels like now what's going on with his career at least he hasn't gone back to Strasbourg but But again, what's the future for Mamadou Sarr? Is there at all a future for Mamadou Sarr? Is there a level he's going to be able to reach? He had a good start to 2026 at AFCON with Senegal.

But in terms of developing from there, it feels like maybe that Chelsea return has really halted his development.

Shim Weka obviously has gone to Celtic.

He's still so young.

Um, but did, did we sell Mamadou Sarr or did we loan him? I mean, there's a bunch there, and obviously you got, uh, Lacroix.

Costs a lot of money.

Et cetera, et cetera.

But really, we're really kind of two and a half stars for Edward Mendy and we see Maury Geo.

keeper than a possible starter okay that's it for the goalkeepers let's move on to central defenders and we begin by populating the list so as a definite candidate we have Musani Akite and he is selected for the squad at the likely level we have captain of the team Kaladu Koulibaly and also Mamadou Sarr and thirdly Abdoulaye Seck.

All three of those selected for the squad.

At the Baltimore level, newcomer Nobel Mendy.

and Kalidou Koulibaly.

Anyway, selected for the squad.

Let's look at our second likely candidate, Mamadou Sarr, with Senegal since 2025.

Six caps and no goals for him.

I think we went two without signing anyone, if I'm not mistaken.

Obviously, last year we recalled Mamadou Sarr, and I think that was it.

Well, yeah, we bid for Jacquet.

True.
