The Grealish situation is slightly different as he had a release cause, but I still believe they overpaid for him regardless. We tend to be shrewd in the market, so hope we pursue options elsewhere.

I'm against the signing at £60-70m, let alone £100m~. We shouldn't even think about entertaining such offers.

Their "four captains" have supposedly taken a pay cut or are in the process of doing so. Pique's decision was announced first, so Barcelona could register their new signings prior to the season beginning.

Hope we can end our recent poor form against them & get a convincing win.

Not this summer unless RM are crazy for Mbappe.

I guess we have to thank Jose. He supposedly pushed really hard to secure his signature.

Similar story to last season, and look what happened. If they lose a few more & don't sign Kane, then things could be troublesome for them.

It's been a joy to see us make the most of either wing today. Palace can't handle the switches across field.

James started against Scotland.

He had WB options but decided to go after Hakimi, which had a knock on effect. The fact CHO played at WB for the last few games only to be dropped when it matters most makes you wonder.

Surprised to see Havertz on the bench and Mount start. On another note, pleased to see Chalobah retains his place.

Good to see the club cover their tracks if the unthinkable happens.

It's what happens when you're poorly run & don't own your own stadium. Same issue that plagues a lot of clubs in Serie A.

Hopefully, the addition of Lukaku will put an end to our recent run of poor results against them.

I think he'll relish playing alongside another CF (should Tuchel field them both) instead of playing alone. He regularly played with Poulsen at Leipzing IIRC.

Feel like his drive disappeared after his ACL injury. No idea if he doesn't trust him to burst past players or what.

I was thinking the same thing. It really makes no sense that this isn't permitted.

The latter did want to buy Milan, so it's only a matter of time.

Probably wake up to his announcement in the morning. Fun few days before the league season starts.

I think it would be hard for many to argue against that. He's probably sealed a place in the squad due to preseason and tonight.

Aside from Kepa, Chalobah deserves a lot of praise. Has really come out of nowhere in terms of consideration and put in a MOTM performance.

Kepa!!! Third time is the charm!

Big call by Tuchel. Hope it's third time lucky on PK's.

Jorginho looks lost in Chelsea blue again.

He's actually been one of our better players, though. Alonso on the other hand...
