Bailey for RW, Chiesa for LW. They both play inverted. And no to Zaha. Massively overpriced and not in either's league.

LOLOLOL funny thing how empiric war mongers get called patriots, and anti-war pols get call called traitors as for being a 'stupid' leftist, I suppose I am, as at my income level I should be a full stop Austrian schooler, or a Tory rentier income leach damn shame I had the greed gene bred out of me my politics are far too diverse to fit into a simplistic left/right paradigm anyway

Chelsea fans don’t want Luiz to sign a new contract with the club https://www.footballfancast.com/premier-league/chelsea/chelsea-fans-dont-want-luiz-to-sign-a-new-contract-with-the-club

I have watched him for years, I would take him in a flash. But you know my top rated CB's (I dont rank over 30yo's) Raphaël Varane Kalidou Koulibaly Virgil van Dijk Marquinhos Samuel Umtiti José Giménez Aymeric Laporte Niklas Süle Milan Skriniar Matthijs de Ligt

Alessio Romagnoli

I consider Isco an AMF, much more than a winger. He can play winger, obviously, but I would rather see him at AMF I think a MF of Jorginho, Kovacic and Isco would be insane under Sarri. I also think we have almost no shot at Isco. Real have almost no reason to give up Asensio, Isco, or even Vinícius Júnior next summer at this point, when they can just wait a year and sign Hazard on a free, OR offer us a shit price and see if we take it in the dying days of the summer window. I was saying this THIS window, We need to do something fast or we are going to get fucked badly. I see a massive amount of ostrich action on this. Burying yer head in the sand and hoping it changes for the better never works. Same mentality every Luiz fanboy/fangirl I know has. To me, it's delusional thinking.

Sophie knows!!

My gut says he isn't going to renew, and we HAVE to start planning around this, as it will turn into a disaster if we do not handle this right. Next summer he already has us over a barrel and looking square in the face of another Courtois situ. LW options of truly world class level are slim the impossibles Neymar (pipe dream, and not worth the $250m or so it would cost) Leroy Sané (City would NEVER sell him to us) Thomas Lemar (same as Sane situ, and not even as good as Sane) Lorenzo Insigne (Napoli, enough said there) leaving these Marco Asensio (only way he would ever come here is if RM tossed him into a Hazard deal, and they won't do it) Federico Chiesa (by far the best option that is realistic) Anthony Martial (I am far more interested in him as a striker than as a LW, buy he is still an an option there) Vinícius Júnior (same as Asensio, buy maybe a WEE less unlikely) Mikel Oyarzabal (can play inverted RW too, like Bailey) Julian Draxler step downs Kingsley Coman Julian Brandt Keita Baldé Hirving Lozano

World class CB's over 30 Sergio Ramos 32 Diego Godín 32 Leonardo Bonucci 31 Gerard Piqué 31 Jan Vertonghen 31 (marginal) and were, but are too old now or injury prone Giorgio Chiellini 34 Vincent Kompany 32 that's IT Luiz is nowhere near any of their levels, even IF he was say 26 or 28. He makes ludicrous cockups at an amazingly high rate. Why the fuck would we break a long standing rule (that HAS fucked us in the past multiple times) and give him a contract until he is 34, AND commit our fucking team to his future (or present)???? He was THE most overrated player in the 2016-17 championship year. I am going to start to have massive issues with Sarri if this goes pear shaped. Preventable disasters that are not prevented are the quickest way to get me to turn on a person. Sarri is also starting to fuck up AC, with his zero game time and zero confidence in him. Sarri obviously doesn't even rate Luiz THAT much, as why was he so so hellbent on going after Rugani or Caldara? That also REALLY shows you he doesnt rate AC.

Of all the players to finally break our 'over 30 no multiyear contracts' policy, Luiz is close to the worst option. He not only needs to be on the bench, but truly needs to sold. He is a massive weak link on our team. He is one of my least favourite players we have ever had. I think he is lazy, reckless, and has a shit attitude. Sarri is crazy to rate him. If I was AC, I would seriously be considering my future at the club. Sarri seems to not trust him at all. Luiz has be horrid at multiple points in almost every game, yet AC rots away on the bench. Instead of fucking about giving shit Luiz a contract extension until he is 34, we really need to sort out what we are going to do about Hazard (I do not think he is going to renew ) and also make Kovacic a permanent member of the team.

Chelsea news: Eden Hazard makes Real Madrid transfer admission after Cardiff hat-trick https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1018156/Chelsea-news-Eden-Hazard-Real-Madrid-transfer-news-Cardiff-Premier-League

Chelsea news: Maurizio Sarri in pole position to complete January deal for Federico Chiesa https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1018105/Chelsea-news-Maurizio-Sarri-to-complete-January-deal-for-Federico-Chiesa A wonderful player, but his favourite position is an an inverted right-footed LW (exact opposite of Leon Bailey). If Hazard leaves we are covered at LW with Chiesa and CHO, so I am all in on this, plus he absolutely can play RW as well. If Hazard refuses to renew, Chiesa is a must buy.

You must not have watched Benzema so far this year, now that he is back as a pure point man. His role was also different much of the time in the past couple of seasons with RM, and he had a nine year run (including with Real up until 2016-17) where he averaged almost 25 goals a year and 14 assists, including 2 seasons over 30 goals. Vastly superior player compared to Morata.

Mourinho would have insisted we sell him anyway. Lol

FFS!!!!! I am so so not happy to hear this!!! Are they watching the same games we are?! By far our worst starter, other than maybe Morata.

Abraham? He was loaned out.

1 nil Athletic, Courtois beaten

Parking the bus bitch Mo footie the whole second half, Watford has pulled one goal back, would love to see a 2nd!

RENEW

Come on Watford

Huge positive takeaway.... Jorginho had an off game (IMHO) and we still dominated

I can live with a 'whoever is hot' Pedro/Willian combo too. That said we NEED Bailey to take it to next level.

As long as he keeps his temper in check, I am thrilled with his play.
