Chelseabluerising

I think he will. I hope Musonda/Hudson-Odoi start.
Also hope Ampadu will start/play.

When you see a 17-year old it isnt just about ability. Ampadu was certainly not bad, but it was his mentality that I really liked the most.
He was constantly asking for the ball, orchestrating the rest of the team, going in for a crunching tackle straight away and more than once trying to go for those pin-point long-balls. It showed character and courage, a determination to not just be a cameo but to play on the same merit as the others. 
I really hope we get to see him maybe not start games, but get a solid 3-400 minutes this season. One to follow for sure. 

Great second half for Zap tonight with Italy. Best player on the pitch. We got some player in our hands.

Not sure if this has been pointed out, but this bloke hasn't really done anything with his feet since getting here. lol...
2 goals - headers...
2 assists - with his head. 
1 big missed opportunity in the Spurs game - a header. 
 
Imagine once he actually starts kicking the thing. He has been going easy on the league. 

Danny seems a bit like Cahill. English, not exactly world class, bought when he is about to peak but a classy guy who really wants to be here and do his best. Wish him all the best.

I actually love him.

Going to surprise you all.

anyone else wakes up in the morning and thinks: 'this is the day. this is the day when chelsea will finally buy someone...", and like that every morning?

To honest at this point I don't expect any new players until the "deadline day". 

I think Draxler will go to Dortmund once Dembele leaves.

I am still hoping for 2 more signings cm and wb but it looks it is going to be difficult.
We don't need a brilliant player for CM because he is going to be just rotation player, not sure why we haven't  signed any. Matuidi is not a option because he is 30. If we sign a 30 years old cm, we will have the same problem again next year. 
On wb side I understand that we need upgrade for wb, that is difficult at this point, good fb are very rare. Not sure who, we lose 3 players to city. I understand that walker and mendy are too expensive but we also lose Danilo which is is a shame. I thought he was dreadful last season defensively for real but he should be ok for wb position. People say ox, 1st ox need to say that he want to leave but I haven't heard any rumor so I don't expect any movement at all. 

looks like draxler is leaving psg. would be a great signing.

Just two more games and we will be a total different team after international break with Hazard and Bakayoko fit and some new players 😊
Rose/Bertrand for LWB
Ox/Cedric for RWB
One player for midfield cover (Drinkwater?)

Yes so glad it's finally official couldn't stand another week of waiting haha 
Welcome to chelsea bakayoko 🔵

Admittedly, it is a bit concerning that we aren't even linked with a single attacking player other than Lukaku. Without Diego our attacking talent on hand looks pretty iffy compared to City, Arsenal (with Lacazette and Sanchez if he stays) and maybe even Liverpool due to Klopp's tactics. 
At the same time, you look at Spuds and they only really have one big source of goals and that didn't stop them from challenging. But when you look at City and they have Silva, Silva, KDB, Sané, Aguero, Jesus, Sterling, and may even bring in more attacking players and you compare it to us who have just Hazard (who may not be fit for a while) Willian who isn't prolific at all, Pedro who's solid but not great, and Batshuayi who may not even be a Conte player. Their attacking depth is a million miles from ours.
Even if Lukaku comes in we'd still be a single injury away from disaster. I have to assume that the club are very quietly pursuing deals for attacking players. At least I hope they are. 

Anyone remembers this? That was before we signed Baba.
 

nope haha...
Like fireworks that explodes again, and again, and again. Starting with Willy Caballero at 1 PM/noon.

Fuck that sounds so gooooood! I hope it's true. We'd be PR-ing our way back to the very top as an elite club this way. Caballero, Bakayoko, Van Dijk, Sandro and Lukaku are my bets.. and maybe a shocker too? Exciting times ahead  But I'm dreading waking up on July 2 like "fuck, I fell for it again".

I believe it's a deal done for Lukaku and Bakayoko. 

this was just published buy CIES Football Observatory Report. 

The research group calculates values by the performance of players and their clubs in Europe's top five leagues, international status, contract, age and position.
This is the craziest thing i have seen all year. 

Some INS would be nice

seems as though Peps early spending has lit a fire under Contes ass. All ridiculous rumours and lazy linking but still exciting to let the mind wander at the possibilities.
