Cheers.

What page or are they scattered throughout the whole thread?

I know nothing about this guy. Is he good? What position does he play? Is he best XI quality or just depth?

It is low. Very low, in fact. You just don’t understand the current market.

Sarri makes some dumb decisions. That’s why.

I don’t like Alonso, but I love reading this kind of stuff. None of our players have heart these days. We need Drogs, Essien, Ballack, Terry, Ivanovic and these types back. Not players like Willian and Morata.

£35m is f*** all. Hold him to his contract and let him rot on the bench.

F*** off you c***!

FFS. Typical Chelsea dross signing. Guy is finished. Struggling in a league that Bakayoko dominates. This will be ugly.

Icardi to Chelsea? Hahahahaha. Like this board could pull something like that off.

Can’t we offer higher wages than Bayern?

Makes me angry just thinking about this guy

Or at least try to convince him to stay in that time. F*** selling him to those pr*cks for nothing.

He doesn’t want to sign because he was never played. He sees other young players flourishing at better sides than ours who are ahead of better wingers than our wingers and he wants out. He’s told he’s not good enough for Chelsea but he’s good enough for Bayern. We f***ed this one by not playing him and Sarri f***ed it by telling him he’s not ready. Absolute horse shit. This one will haunt us.

It’s done. He’s gone. F*** Sarri and f*** the board. Disgraceful. This shit is unforgiveable. Bet we extend Willian’s contract for another five years.

I hope one day AC and Ampadu are our starting CBs, with Mount and RLC bossing midfield and Hudson-Odoi banging them in.

Lazy and tactically inept. No thanks.

I’d honestly rather no one. Either cough up extra for someone decent or don’t bother. We’ll end up trying to replace him again in two years anyway. F*** this club loves an overpriced uninspiring signing.

Yep. One good game and everyone will be back on the hype train.

I wasn’t being completely serious with the comment. Just wouldn’t surprise me if that’s how it played out given how some of our recent sales have flourished elsewhere, while the ones we have retained haven’t really kicked on at all. I do still see potential in Christensen though. He has shown too much for him to be written off. He was a star at Gladbach and had some great games against monster opponents. You don’t just lose that overnight. It also wasn’t long ago when Pep was tapping him up and publicly praising him.

Central midfielders have it a lot easier in Italy than they do England. Not reading into his form too much.

If we sell him, he will go on to become a world class centre back and it will bite us on the arse. If we keep him, he will continue to struggle and will never establish himself as a starter.

Fair enough mate. I think Ruben’s league form has been very good and the game you mentioned was a dead rubber in Hungary, so it’s hard to take too much away from it. He scored a hat trick in a fixture that actually meant something so he has proven that he can dominate at that level. But I agree, he needs to become more consistent. It’s hard to be match sharp when you’re not a permanent starter though, which is why I’d like to see him given a good run at it. Ditto CHO and even someone like Emerson.

I wonder if starting Loftus-Cheek instead of Kovacic would free up Jorginho. Kova just isn’t a threat going forward so the opposion focus all their attention on pressing Jorgi. I feel Ruben would draw players away from Jorgi because he makes such powerful attacking runs with the ball and is more of a threat going forward, so opposition players are forced to defend him. Jorgi thrives off space and Ruben is capable of providing it. Hazard does it closer to goal. He draws two or three players with his dribbling then puts it on a platter for Willian, Pedro, etc.

The same players are mentioned every week among supporters. Every fan can see it. Why can’t the manager?
