Wish it was as simple as 'not letting him go'. The grass is greener etc etc etc! All we can do is offer him more money and empty promises, But hes very young and needs to concentrate on getting better.

Excellent lad. We dont make enough use of our old players. It would benefit us in many ways if we did

Like we said bud the marketing peeps must be rubbing their hands seeing $$ signs! I had a chat with one of our US members and he said that the coverage when he signed was fantastic. Loadsa hype with lots of really encouraging ecitement. He says that we are one of the more obvious supported PL teams as he often sees our shirts being worn in towns etc.

Totally agree mate. Its not always easy to take someone away from a place where they have all they need. Supporters,team.manager that loves them,regular playing time, family comfortable where they are etc etc. Add to that we have never been one of those teams that players in general dream of playing for. We have to hope they see at least something about us they like - manager,playing style,other players etc - to convince them to come join us. Mostly tho unless we offer them high wages and willing to pay up for them we have tough times in getting those top players. Lets hope our delightful board want to add a few to join Pulisic. And keep everything crossed someone to join us sooner other than later! Lets start with this lad!!

So who do we use as backup for Dave? Sadly Zappa offers us more going forward than Dave does/ Unless we are going for Hysaj?

I've not looked forward to going to a match as much as this for ages. I can't tell you how much I dislike both clubs but I've always loved going to drab,cold,north London. It does stick in my throat saying this but theres no doubting its going to be a bloody hard game to win specially with our walking wounded and wonky donkys. But the lads are just going to have to dig deep and find some pride about wearing Chelsea Blue. They have to sort out that fire and intensity we need them to have. Or sod em. Get rid of their arses! I can see a Willian Eden RLC front 3 myself.

What we need to do is give the lad a pay rise! Frank Lampard admits defeat in chase of Ethan Ampadu Ethan Ampadu speaks out on new midfield role as Maurizio Sarri looks to replace Cesc Fabregas With the Blues having sold their obvious back up option to Jorginho, the Welshman may have a route to regular first team appearances https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/ethan-ampadu-speaks-out-new-15638025

Great job, Sarri – Chelsea have solved a major issue by signing this £58m star and here is why he can take them to the next level https://www.mediareferee.com/2019/01/07/great-job-sarri-chelsea-have-solved-a-major-issue-by-signing-this-58m-star-and-here-is-why-he-can-take-them-to-the-next-level/

I thought that too to start with. Its not in their character. But these links just aint going away. There has obviously been some chats between his reps and our board. And no doubt will have matched RLCs wages. Which is only £700k a year less than Rob Green (Ampadu is another one who needs a raise!) But cant see us paying him the £120k even if most of us would.

I think he is offski! £120k, no 10 and weekly starter. Too much for a young lad to say no to.

I like Ballack as much as anyone mate but what makes you think that he in particular would make him good enough to be a DOF for a major club? I think the club needs to have a word with itself concerning the utilizing of all our legends. I would bring them in as a team but still under a TOP DOF. Bring them in as various trainers,scouts,youth development,team spirit etc. But I think we need to bring in a fully skilled DOF with experience and contacts throughout Europe at the highest level. Use the leges as support

We never know do we? We have always been paranoid over losing players thinking the world will come to an end. But we are still here. Might need some work but still fighting. Who is to say that losing and replacing players who fans like might turn into getting a team together that plays better as a unit? Speaking solely about Eden as it seems peeps are the most concerned about is how or what can the club do to stop him bar tieing him up and sticking him in a broom cupboard if he is determined to do one? This doesn't just happen to us. It happens to all clubs everywhere. If he goes the Blue world wont stop spinning. What really does piss me off and should everyone is we havent planned for it. We are in the process right now of potentially losing 7 of our 1st team in the next 4/5 months and right now only have 1 replacement. Its not hard to recover from losing 1 player IF the money is used to replace him with the right player but its going to be sodding hard replacing another 6 specially the way our board operates. The time has come for us to stand back and take a proper loo at ourselves without no rose tinted specs! We need a complete onerhaul. From the directos, to the scouts, A DOF, how we use the academy,the direction we see the team playing - get a character and make sure we hire managers to suit it instead of keep altering the team to suit the manager. We need to look at the psychology of the team and how we get them prepared, how we utilize our legends, and finally of course the lads. Its a fuckin big job. And we need to get a squad of players together to gel and grow together and be together for some time. It's time to get organized.

Ive got tons of clothes older than you haha I got vintage taste with a young soul with restored body eork!!!

FPMSL!!!! Honestly mate cracked me up!

But I would take him as a starter over Alonso.

So tell me WTF are we going to use for cover???? Shirley Knott!! I can;t believe it. Chelsea ready to loan Zappacosta to Lazio with surprisingly cheap option to buy https://www.chelsea-news.co/2019/01/chelsea-ready-loan-zappacosta-lazio-surprisingly-cheap-option-buy/

Up till I was 12/13 all I can remember pretty much is my folks rowing so I'd be out till it got dark. And being in the States in USAF bases near deserts I'd be off hunting lizards on me bike or later when I got a mini bike. Dont think kids could do that now tho. Some pedo would get them. I'd have shot him with my air rifle tho. All US boy kids got one as soon as we could walk lol You can add whatever you can think of mate. Telly,clothes,bookd etc etc

Will this be a swap? Is Karim Benzema set to DITCH Real Madrid for Chelsea this month?

Ohhh - Well thats OK then

Told ya! Its just us jumping the gun and dreaming as per usual. I fuckin hate transfer season. Sends me doolally!

This is what can happen once Eden decides to get direct! Just a blinding goal

Yep loved the guy. THINK he was left out of WC because he made that interview about why shouldn't he have the odd drink and smoke. And his twin sister came out defending it too then she got bad press for being a gobby lesbian lol

I thought that peeps would like this thread! Heres some sweets that were around when I was a kid, Dunno if theyre around now. Seen a Caramac once in a blue moon. One of the best UK choc bars theres been. Along with Galaxy! Cola Cubes Flying Saucers

Hard to tempt the Italians to the PL sometimes eh. But MAYBE he might like the idea of working with Sarri? We dont really know if the 'club' is interested in him. We are total mushrooms. Kept in the dark and fed shit!
