Yet nothing of value would have been lost. Just spoiled garbage millennial football players believing they are actually good and who lose all their confidence once you point out they did something wrong.

Mourinho shows you can't (always) buy trophies with money.

If we go back and look at all that has been said and done so far, and really dig down to a granular level, this window appears to come into sharper focus.
Early on, and confirmed by a shit tonne of sources, Roman said spending will be capped at £60m.
Sarri absolutely said that in order to come, we HAD to get Jorginho, or deal was off (and De Laurentiis had already agreed to let him go because Carlo Ancelotti said Allan, Zielinski, and Diawara were his preferred DMF/CMF options).
There is your £60m (well $57m but 3m is shit) spent.
Do NOT underestimate the difficult position Abramovich, as a full Russian national, is in with the UK government. He cannot even enter the country ATM. I follow politics even more than Chelsea, and it is an absolute shitstorm in terms of non linear warfare atm between the US/UK/NATO bloc versus Russia and its allies. The Skripal shit, etc etc has seriously hampered Roman's financials, plus (although it is rising now) the price of oil has devastated not just his net well, but all of Russia's. Their GDP has been cut in half over the last 2 years, and a huge amount of  Abramovich's wealth is tied up in petro-chemicals and oil production assets.
We have spent the bare minimum to get Sarri in the door (Conte had to go, as he personally pissed off Abramovich), and have not sales yet, so it simply is not a shock that we are not buying anything atm. Especially if these new sales rumours (to Jim Ratcliffe) are based on any reality.
IF we don't sell Courtois, we don't even need to buy a GK this year, despite the fact we will lose him on a free next summer (but if the club is sold, Roman doesn't give a fuck).

We are waiting for the Nike deal to kick in, I doubt that any signings will be announced before that.

You can't knock what he's done at the club on the grand scheme of things. He's played a big role in two league title winning seasons and also won as a starter in the league cup, fa cup, europa league and champions league. He certainly has limitations but he's made the most of his career here and at £7m he has proven to be a hugely successful piece of business by the club, and a bargain.
He is definitely in the decline now though, and as people have said it would be best for both parties for him to leave. He gets a fresh start and can play week in week out at a midtable team in the latter stages of his career, with nothing left to prove, and we can move on and look to upgrade on him.

CLASS!!
 
CONTE RELEASES STATEMENT
Former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has released a statement through the League Managers Association after being dismissed by the club last week. 
He said: “I would like to thank all of my friends at Chelsea Football Club for their hard work and support over the past two seasons which enabled us to win the Premier League and FA Cup together. 
 
“To the players, whose talent and commitment was so important to our successes, I thank them for everything. It has been a pleasure working with them every day. To my staff, who always worked so hard, I must say thank you and well done for their professionalism and dedication throughout.
 
“I have enjoyed my time in England and London so much and I want to thank the Chelsea fans who have been amazing to me and my Family. It was fantastic for me to be able to share my emotions, passion and enthusiasm throughout two unforgettable seasons with these amazing Chelsea supporters, who will always stay in my heart.
 
“I hope Chelsea will continue to be successful and I wish everyone well for next season. I have made many memories during my time with Chelsea, which I will take with me into my next challenge.”
 

Just a dribbler, Jesus Christ. He did have a poor season, but if anyone thinks Chelsea can get a player better than Hazard, they're absolutely deluded. He needs to be offloaded, so that he can be replaced with REAL QUALITY, like Shaqiri or Choupo-Moting, I am sure they will be affordable. Keep Willian the Mediocre, and a washed-up Pedro, and Chelsea might make it through the group stages of the EL.

Morata is never going to be another Drogba, he is mentally weak, and is all around mediocre at best. Drogba was at least fighter, and physically dominant. Morata is good at nothing.

LUL, he literally had 4 good performances. The state of this club.

Saying that Morata scores every 3rd game is so terribly misleading. In saying so you are implying consistency which Morata has not shown at Chelsea (nor anywhere else for that matter).
To put Morata's PL goal scoring into context:
- Morata has scored more goals in his first 6 PL games (6; 3 of which came in a hat-trick vs Stoke) than in his last 24 (5).
- Out of his last 24 PL games Morata has played 60+ minutes in 18 games so he has had enough time to make a goal contribution in those games.
- Against top-6 opponents Morata has scored 2 goals in 8 games (10 games actually but I took out the 2 games vs City since he only played a combined 36 minutes in both games)
- In 2018 Morata has scored 1 PL goal.
...and these are only the numbers. Getting into his bitch-ass attitude on the pitch, his stupid yellow cards, and his missed sitters would just make me even more depressed.

Conte's final game in charge could be a defeat against the ex-coach, how fun that would be.

But, but, Morata scored in the CL finals, he's World class Kappa
What a joke.

All that Lukaku slander about how Morata is definitely much better than him and here we are, in a very important fixture... Romelu had a quiet game but still finished with a goal and assist.

The truth hurts people
Dozens of you said many times that Conte brought the best out of many average players we have, that we overachieved and outperformed and when he says that he's able to do that he's lacking *false* modesty and humbleness *rolls eyes*
Why can't someone admit what they are good at?
I'm tired of those politically correct people. They suck monkey balls, unbearable people who are annoying as hell and looks like a mark of this age, all generations included. I despise politically correct attitude

It doesn't even matter in the case of Morata, he's a garbage Real Madrid reject, the only Real he might go to after Chelsea is Real Valladolid, or Real Sociedad.
