Clearing the way for a new CB one hopes?

8 FUCKING MILLION??!?!?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I thought Sunderland would have wanted to strengthen their defence? Not weaken it further. Jokes aside thank christ for that, cya mate, thanks for that one minute against Walsall, some funny forum posts at your expense and pre-season. Leave the memories alone.

Conte is keen to bolster his back line, while as many as five could be heading [out] the other way (Standard) #CFC

Good move for him I think, he'll get plenty of game time there, hope he impresses!

CONTE QUIET ON MORATA Antonio Conte refused to confirm whether Chelsea have made an offer for Real Madrid forward Alvaro Morata. Speaking after the Blues' 3-0 win over RZ Pellets WAC, Conte said: "We know our targets and the most important thing is that between me and the club there is a great synergie. "We know our targets and for me this is the most important thing. Not important to speak outside but to keep the secret."

Ugh, negotiating with Everton. Because that went well last time.

My two cents, probs wrong. They got told to feck off by Madrid for Morata. Negotiating with Napoli is a ballache so that's Higuain out Now it's onto Lukaku. Still don't think this means Costa's off, but maybe that's my wishful thinking. We haven't signed Romelu yet anyway, its not like Everton need the money now.

60m for Lukaku? Just when I was starting to enjoy watching Chelsea again. I need to lie down.

Conte says he has been impressed by our young players so far including Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Nathaniel Chalobah and Ola Aina. #CFCTour Conte: 'Aina is showing the Academy is a good school and it is very important for the club. It’s a new source.' #CFCTour Conte: 'In the future I want to see other young players like Abraham and Solanke. I am very happy to have young players to work with...' Conte: '...and that I can improve and permit to become Chelsea first team players, not young players.' #CFCTour

Lovely goal Chalobah!!

Goal for RLC! Happy days.

Moses to become Conte's new Giaccherini, calling it now

Really good first half: - Oscar in the midfield two playing excellently, feels weird saying that, fair play to Conte for putting him there. - Two upfront yay! - Aina looks great and so comfortable on the ball. Breakout season please. - Matic going forward really well especially for the goal. - Willian is a Conte player to a tee, never stops working, same for Moses, I'd keep him this season, would be an excellent squad player.

Willian and Kante in the same team, blimey, non stop running.

WOOO 1-0 Traore! Lovely team counter there.

This is weird. I'm enjoying an Oscar performance....Ew.

Aina looking so comfortable.

Really enjoying this performance/formation. A couple of quality additions and this is gonna be a fun season one hopes!

Willian playing really well, same with Moses, thriving in this new formation so far, working their asses off.

Team to face WAC RZ Pellets: Begovic, Ivanovic, Terry (c), Djilobodji, Aina, Willian, Matic, Oscar, Moses, Traore, Diego Costa. #CFCTour Subs: Blackman, Delac, Miazga, Hector, Chalobah, Baba Rahman, Mikel, Cuevas, Kenedy, Loftus-Cheek, Atsu, Remy. #CFCTour

AWESOME! Thanks for the heads up pal!

Is this game going to be available to view on chelsea tv to non-subscribers like the last one?

Chelsea have made an offer of €30m for Valencia defender Shokdran Mustafi. #CFC #VCF (Mirror)

Antonio Conte has ruled out making mega-money moves for strikers but Andre Ayew could be an option at £12million.
