This time I'll let you off.....!

zzzzz

So even if we get Llorente, Drinkwater and another, are we really not targeting anyone to compete with/cover for eithger of our wingbacks? Those positions are described as the most important in this whole 3-4-3 system, and we have one player for each. Despite a few good signings, this window really has been a shambles for us. Some of the reports coming out are embarassing. Why, if we wanted Aurier, have we let Spurs get in and waited until now to try and hijack? It smakcs of desperation and Conte has every right to be furious. Our only hope of a good season is basically a group stage exit from the CL, otherwise we will fall short in both competitions.

Totally agree on St Maximin. Disappointing, although Nice is a good move for him. They have replaced him with Ghezzal which is also a good signing for them on a free I suppose...

He never got a chance at PSG. He came on the premise that Matuidi was off and he was to take his place. A combination of Matuidi not leaving and the emergence of Rabiot mean't that he never got a chance. Admittedly in the 2-3 chances he got he wasn't great but we can't judge him solely on that.

If he is available for the same or less than Drinkwater we should take him, unless the only reason we want/need Drinkwater is his nationality....

Moses suspended

Dalbert is excellent, would be a great option and something different to Alonso.

Team to face Bayern: Courtois; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Cahill (c); Moses, Kante, Fabregas, Alonso; Willian, Batshuayi, Boga. #CFCTour

Is there likely to be a stream for this anywhere?

He was excellent at Sevilla and also at Euro 2016, off the back of which he came to PSG with Emery. I was really surprised that it didn't work out for him there, especially as he came with his coach. It wasn't really an injury issue, he made a few mistakes early, and Matuidi, who was supposed to leave, didn't. Could be a good option if cheap-ish.

Welcome! Looks good value! http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/antonio-rudiger-chelsea-transfer-news-latest-romelu-lukaku-antonio-conte-a7832316.html

Edging closer....sums up our transfer activity so far, everything done at a snails pace...

But then we'd need to play 352 as default as neither of the midfield 3 (Baka, Keita, Kanté) would be left out. We can't drop Kanté, and neither Baka or Keita would sign to be on the bench...

Whoever that is from is really stretching the use of the word 'breaking'...
