It's off mate.

The media are kissing our arses after our Burnley match. We don't want that. Everyone had written us off. I was enjoying flying under the radar and letting the Manchester clubs hog the spotlight with their 200m pound windows.

Did you actually read his quotes? There was nothing wrong with what he said. He's complimenting his new manager. The headline make it out as if he's having a go at our club when he wasn't at all.

Look, I don't want to say that Kante is a better player than Pogba, especially after only a couple of games, but Kante is definitely a better player than Pogba.

Unbelievable player.

F*** this guy is good. He looks so dangerous. He made something out of nothing today and should've scored again. He has impressed me more than Costa this season. Going to be tough for Conte to keep him on the bench.

Bullshit rumours IMO.

Lol neither was James

This is just stupid now.

Lol deluded c***s

Would say this one is most unlikely. Conte has publicly stated he wants defenders.

He's an absolute workhorse. Would love this guy at Chelsea. Sell Matic to Juve for 25m and pay 40m for this guy or whatever it takes to get Nainggolan. We need more energy in midfield.

Please please PLEASE join Chelsea R2! One of the best LBs in the world.

I admire your confidence but I can't see this one happening

I think we should sign Maksimovic while we have the chance and then increase our bids for Romagnoli. If we keep trying with Romagnoli we may lose the chance of signing Maksimovic and be left with nothing.

:S

Pity Hazard plays on the left and Bale plays on the right...

Hazard would be a bench warmer at Real Madrid...

Of course Fabregas isn't perfect. No player is perfect. Fabregas has his flaws but he was brilliant in our title-winning season. Cesc needs a lot of midfield support to play against top sides but he doesn't have that at Chelsea. Apart from our defence, our RW is our biggest weakness. Willian would be a dream to play against. No one shows him respect. He doesn't score, he doesn't assist, he doesn't create, he slows down our play, he is predictable with his runs, he's just not up to it and we currently only have two avenues to goal - Costa and Hazard. James would ease the burden on these two significantly and would improve Hazard in the process (he wouldn't get double marked every game). And that's your problem, you watched him last year. You should've watched him the four years before that where he was exceptional. The fact is we're not even in the CL at the moment. It's hard enough as is to sign players of elite quality with CL, but without CL it's near impossible. That's why when a player like James becomes available we should pounce. Don't disagree with the last paragraph. I would not swap James for Lamps, but at this point in time, I would buy James and think he would be a great addition to our XI.

Matuidi

It's inevitable.

They don't fit because they don't fit in the system. It doesn't necessarily mean they're not class players. As mentioned earlier, Ozil, Robben, Di Maria, Makelele, Alonso etc. were all brilliant players when they left Real Madrid. The same goes for Barcelona's off cuts. We scored Fabregas and Arsenal scored Sanchez. Two great signings. We are not on Real Madrid or Barcelona's level, so we don't have their luxurious squad depth. Last I heard James insisted that he wanted to fight for his position at Real Madrid. That doesn't really sound like a guy with a poor attitude. Poor attitude is Lukaku tearing up because he wasn't guaranteed a starting position with us. If you had watched plenty of James before, you'd know he has a lot more strings to his bow than just "flicks and tricks". He's just below the tier of Hazard, Neymar, De Bruyne and Bale. If he had continuous game time and a manager like Conte, I would back him to reach their level.

Lol you should try watching him play one time

He looks ridiculously good.

Lol @ Matic trying to create around the edge of the box. Conte has NFI.
