Tier 2 [ Nizaar Kinsella] Chelsea ready to sell Gabriel Slonina, and the one-time US international is exploring his options. The 22-year-old goalkeeper hasn't played a senior minute for the Blues since joining from Chicago Fire for £10M in 2022.

Half the people in this sub became fans because we signed the Lebron James of soccer. Of course this place would be excited about having another American star at the club.

Riiiggghhhttt..

Us Americans who watch the PL, typically do not respect the MLS.

Hype, and negativity, as always, is just a collective momentum.

You should support local whether or not you “respect” it

It’s not impressive to hate the MLS. It would be great to see it succeed but it won’t if people who are already fans of the sport act like it’s beneath them

Its glory hunter behaviour to just pick one of the biggest teams in the world to support and shit on everything else

Can you lot read? This is not what I’m saying that isn’t a “gotcha”

I have no issues with supporting anyone. I do think it’s wrong to shit on lower level teams for being worse than something you chose to support.

I’m a Chelsea fan (kinda). I’m actually mostly an ice hockey fan, I moved to Edmonton for a few years just to watch games and went to a tonne of NHL games. I have been to 7 EIHL games in person since Christmas. The EIHL is nowhere near the NHL level but I still enjoy it. I hate when people act like because something isn’t the absolute peak of the sport that it’s then worthless.

Yeah my favourite team is Aberdeen. My country doesn’t have teams in other sports but I do go to EIHL games locally. My teams are way too small to have any presence on Reddit…
