Chelsea FC‏Verified account @ChelseaFC 2h2 hours ago Good morning! Antonio Conte's pre-match press conference will take place today at 1.15pm. We'll be bringing you live updates...

He make Balotelli looks like an angel

They may think the deadline day is next Christmas.

Very excited to see him playing. Think he will surprise all the doubters.

You just don't have to believe everything you read on the paper though.

Ox is on the right moment to go rebel and find his way out, and even the most deluded Arsenal fan would understand his point.

At the first game of season, think the shock is really massive though, especially for the new signing. So quite understandable from his point of view. But yes we should have done better. At least we are not against newly promoted side, that would be really embarrassing.

Barkley is out for six weeks, and don't think we're really after him though. It seems the only CM who is close now is double D. If we manage to get him around 25m, I would not complain. Better than nothing.

Well, at least we know they are really working on it.

Come back, please. Chelsea development squad need you.

We play 3 at the back, so having 6 players would still be okay. Talk about competition and rotation.

So we're close to sergi roberto, ox, cancelo, VVD? now. No drinkwater, I'm happy. oh, and fuck Barca.

From Coutinho to Paulinho. From Lamborghini to Nissan.

Quick, sign him up

He is partying with Atletico shirt ffs. He don't want to play for us again, and we don't want him anymore. Pay the price or rot on the development squad.

Don't believe it yet, until Sky Egypt reporting it

Heard like that before, but Conte clearly has said latter that the idea was to give Baka the right time to adapt in this league behind Matic. It means even if Baka is fit, he will be Matic replacement after some period, not immediate replacement. Selling Matic then will be considered as failed. Knowing that Bakayoko is not fit and then we sell Matic also, that is double failed. Not spent the money for another CM after Chalobah and Matic sold, while Bakayoko not fit. That's triple failed.

Too early to judge anything from a disaster first match yesterday. Shit happens, and yesterday was double shit happened at the same time. I believe team will deliver a good performance at Wembley to prove everyone wrong. Come on Chelsea.

He is already back in London? what a moment after we suffered.

Have wrote this in other thread. The way we deal with Bakayoko (fully aware that he will be not available immediately) and then selling Matic without buying a replacement is the biggest mistake we have made this summer. It's really okay if either RLC, Ake, Chalobah or Baker staying, but it is not the case either. Basically we are fully aware that only Fabregas and Kante will be available since the opening match. And that's crazy.
