…instead of for England U21s.
Omari in the squad.

No surprise … FIFA have priority over UEFA if they had to go down that path , but Chelsea want to win this for their global ermm … American profile.
No doubt the squad is way weaker than it would have been and was a few months ago… I’m guessing not just England will suffer too.
Delap won’t be chastised for his choice by England. |  |

Club world cup a big deal for these clubs. So makes sense, although im not actually sure what it is.
The biggest miss is Adam Wharton, out with a concussion.
Omari for the golden boot. |  |

Surely we want Hutchinson to have a very quiet tournament, perhaps even a very minor niggle at the start?

The whole thing seems a complete (but no doubt lucrative) farce.
Chelsea appear to qualify because the won the Champions League in 20/21. FC Salzburg are in it because of what is called a "UEFA ranking pathway" but Liverpool are not despite winning the Champions League more recently than Chelsea.
No doubt Liverpool see it for the Micky Mouse competition it is but will no doubt be doing other lucrative things. |  | | |

Liverpool haven’t won the Champions League more recently than Chelsea - last time they won it was 2019
The qualification criteria are ridiculous, but that’s the reason Liverpool aren’t in it, not because they’re somehow too noble to take part. They’d have been there in a shot had they been able to, same as every other club |  |

Profile and the 100 odd million prize money for the winner. Different world innit. |  | | |

Seems like a reasonable decision to me, it will be a chance for him to play competitively with his new team mates and stake a claim for a place next season. |  |

Feels like a very short sighted move to me in terms of making the full squad next summer. |  |

May also put pressure on Tuchel to start considering him for the senior team, when taken in conjunction with reports of Delap being wooed by Ireland (for which he can qualify). |  |

No chance Tuchel will think about this if he’s banging in goals every week for Chelsea next season. |  |

True but an extra bit of tournament experience ma have swung it for him.
Like you say though, probably won't end up being a massive factor. | |

I thought it was more recent. My mind is obviously playing tricks. [Post edited 6 Jun 9:57]

He's going to a senior FIFA tournament, one which is potentially harder than an U21 Euros. |  | | |

Not sure that was the case, from what I was told by people who should know, the international tournament took precedence and the FA could have dug their heels in. However, it was probably unlikely that they would do that as they probably wouldn't want to get involved in a row with Chelsea. |  | | |

It was Stevie V |
No it was the Adventures of Stevie V., not Stevie V himself/herself. His adventures wrote the music while he just chilled with Don Pablo (whose animals were also in the recording studio banging out a cover of Venus) | |

This will be Chelsea's decision, rather than Delap's & he's not going to go against his new employer. As others have said, this preposterous competition takes precedence over the U21s anyway. The grotesque amount of prize money has got the attention of the big clubs.
I bet there is a rule whereby Real Madrid have to be invited to this competition every time. |  |

The rule is actually that Madrid have to win it so not sure why Chelsea, Delap and others are bothering. |  | | |
