15 million for a still young Englishman with lots of room to improve is a great deal. I'm all for it, probs in the minority.

IT'S HAPPENING!

Could he be the one to chip in with goals from midfield we've sorely missed since Super Frank left? Not saying he will be THAT successful but surely worth a punt and another option. Under Conte he could flourish.

Chelsea have made an opening £33m bid for Bayern Munich's Arturo Vidal. #CFC #FCBayern (Express)

Cost us big time tonight. Could and should have had a hat trick. We need another option.

If its Vidal plus a wingback and a back up striker then that'll be a VERY good window. If it's just Vidal then no.

Lovely cross from Willian!

Going with the Leicester City title winning midfield pair. Should be interesting! CMON CHELSEA!

Have a great time dude! Hope its a great game! Up the blues!

Chelsea has made Yannick Carrasco their top priority for the winter market. Antonio Conte is pushing for the move. (AS) #CFC #Atletico #AFC #FCBayern #THFC

January prices are going to be fun eh? It's probably best not to pay attention to the fees clubs (us included) will be paying. It makes no sense anymore, just accept it.

THIS. But who could we get realistically? Someone decent enough but is okay with being second string to Morata. Can't think of many tbh.

The Man United forum right now is glorious.

Cahill benched is good, nice to see Rudiger start. But as I said in a post above, terrible not to use a striker against Huddersfield. Obviously I hope the three forward players cause trouble but the fact that we're not giving Michy a go is pretty ridiculous. We better have a striker or two coming in during January or else we are just using one striker. Ugh.

No start for Batshuayi. Nice knowing ya mate. Starting without a striker against Huddersfield. I love you Conte but that's ridiculous. SMH

I braced myself for an up and down season once I knew we had very little world class quality coming in. You cannot expect to keep adding 'decent' squad options and hope for Conte to perform some kind of miracle again and get the title. I guarantee in January one of the Manchester clubs will get Alex Sandro, and do it with ease. How? By paying exactly what is asked. Meanwhile we will be looking in the bargain bin of Europe once again, and I'm thinking it will be another Interim manager after Christmas. Feel free to prove me wrong CFC. I'm just a tiny bit disillusioned by the running theme.

That bit where he was caught up the pitch with his back to our attack being harassed by TWO united players and he kept his nerve. What a fucking player we have here. He's the present and the future.

Do you have to live quite so relentlessly in the real world?

CAHILL BENCHED! Get in there!
