I have hoped this is our long term formation. That is my lineup as well. 2017-18: Christensen in for Cahill. Kenedy challenging Alonso. I am a big big fan of Kenedy and hopefully he adopts the wing back role at watford. Could be a great conte player, direct + physical + skill. lots of youth attackers between solanke, boga, musonda, abraham, palmer coming through that can play in the front 3. Big question: Where does RLC play? ive always dreamed of him fitting next to Kante but it seems that ship has sailed.

Sorry! my mistake you are correct. i dont know why i thought he was left footed. I will edit.

a front 3 of hazard costa and griezmann....oh mama. or hazard batman griezmann <3 but unless simeone leaves atleti we have no chance. if he does it will be an all out bidding war which i dont like our chances. ManU is just gonna say fuck it name your price, BUT we can all dream.

He is coming back, Conte tried to convince the board to break the loan this summer. He is tall, reads the game, ball playing, and comfortable in a back 3 or 4. Someone with better knowledge of youth than me he counts as HG as well does he not? I would be SHOCKED if he does not come back and walk into the starting xi. Zouma Christensen Luiz Back 3 next year. Edit: *Right footed not left*

Happy the window is finally closed. I think we had a good window. We are definitely more versatile and athletic than we were before. Zouma coming back is like another new CB signing. We now have the Possibility of trying 3 at the back and have good options at each position. Top four is the goal and conte is the godfather!

Sissoko to Everton for 30 million. Maybe i got caught up in the excitement, might have dodged a bullet with this one haha seems our day is done. Excited to see what Conte does with the squad.

who do we think is next!? sissoko steam seems to have died down, James was always our longshot pipedream, or are we finished? Alot of our problems have been solved with luiz and alonso today. Much more versatile and tactically flexible. A window of Kante, Luiz, Bats, Alonso is pretty amazing, all can improve playing under a coach like conte as well.

Andreas Christensen to return next summer This update from Sam Wallace: I found this encouraging, from the telegraph a little while ago.

Now lets close this and give conte everything he wanted!

Honestly i really think conte can get the best out of luiz. I am thrilled for this homecoming. Could make a spectacular defensive line when zouma comes back healthy. also opens up the possibility of a back 3.

Bats, KANTE, Alonso, Luiz...come on sissoko and JAMES! its a wild day and anything can happen. lets get kante a proper partner and pair hazard with an equally deadly partner up front. Azpi Luiz Terry Alonso Sissoko Willian Kante James Costa Hazard or a killer 4 2 4 (a man can dream on a day like today) Azpi Luiz Terry Alonso Kante Sissoko(Matic) James Costa Bats Hazard

Pretty excited about Luiz. Can be world class with focus and the right coach. i think conte will bring the best out of him!

DONT YOU DO THIS TO ME.

Bats, Kante, Alonso, Sissoko, Luiz......JAMES!(jks) haha Honestly that would be a spectacular window, adds versatile, physical players that conte loves. Can not believe the board wouldnt bring back AC(hristensen) for AC(onte) but at least we know he is in the plans moving forward. I cant handle deadline day i just want these deals done.

I am surprisingly supportive of sissoko, i didnt think i would be but seeing how he played at the Euros and with Conte coaching him i really think he could be a weapon. the athleticism of him and Kante would be spectacular. you could plug anyone next to them and they would succeed. Very interesting.

I honestly thought this was a joke haha but if serious he could definitely be useful. We are all begging for a world class CB and if he is focused Luiz certainly can be that. He also wont block our youth defenders in the next couple of years. I never thought id say it but if we bought him back i might be for it. it gets cahill and ivanovic off the field...

LOL stop. this cant be true.

I am a bit sad to see him go as I am really a big fan of him. However at least he will be going to a team that operates in a 3 5 2. I dream of him being our Left Wing Back in a 352/343 system. hopefully he gets some good game time and adapts well to a system that could really benefit him in the long run.

AMEN. thank you for posting that.

As ive been saying all along, would be absolutely thrilled to bring in a player with his skills however i will only believe it when he is holding up the chelsea jersey officially confirmed. Lets hope for a miracle!

Excited for Alonso, Will be nice to see a proper left footed cross in the acres of space hazard creates. Azpi moves to the right and ivanovic inside. We strengthen at RB and CB with this move. Zouma will be coming back by end of october and up to speed for hectic Winter. Hopefully the board can pull off some more moves! Gotta stay positive.

I think he would be spectacular in a front three with hazard and costa. I think a coach like conte can get the best out of him, and he will be motivated to show real that he is a star. if we close the deal for Alonso that moves azpi to RB to cover as well as kante behind him. Id much rather have James on the field than Fabregas. Courtois Azpi Zouma Terry(or new CB) Alonso Willian Kante Matic(Oscar) James Costa Hazard I beg conte to move willian down to a more b2b role he could be spectacular. I do not think we will buy James but he is too talented in my opinion to pass up IF we can make it work.

I am excited for this move. A back four of: Kante Alonso X Zouma Azpi lets hope a miracle happens and we bring in a CB + zouma gets healthy. That is athleticism across the board.

Sorry double post

Wonky Internet, my apologies.
