I'd go as far as saying he is shit. Only reports in Spain are claiming we are interested in Militao and that bloke from Barcelona. To think we would gladfully downgrade Rudiger or Christensen for those two is actually very, very comical.

You've insinuated mutlipe times that Kepa should be starting over Mendy. Don't try and backtrack because it was very blatant. You went as far as saying it was Lampard's fault, as if Kepa's arms were any shorter during his spell under him. Alonso isn't good enough for West Ham let alone Chelsea.

You also think Kepa is better then Mendy and that Alonso is good enough for us.

Surely the board aren't this daft and will try to offload him in the summer? Surely? He was pocketed by Plymouth?!!? Christ even if Atletico or PSG somehow come to our rescue, you'd think this would be another hard lesson learned from the board to not pursue targets merely on name alone. But it won't.

Rudiger I think will stay. It's both Azpilicueta and Christensen that are supposedly off. Kounde already lined up it seems. We need another.

Need to keep Christensen at all costs then. Replace Azpilicueta with Kounde.

Sule apparently agreed to join Dortmund 😑

Call me crazy but West Ham should be all over RLC before Palace inevitably get him.

What a year for the big man. Just needs to CWC and he’ll be champion of everything.

There needs to be a separate ‘Chelsea youth transfer rumor thread’.

Surely we can use either Barkley/Ruben as leverage? Assuming the board are going to carry on with wanting Rice as the priority?

Kounde and Sule in.

Don’t you worry. He’ll get another full 90 next week too.

Mount had a delivery to Lukaku against Spurs similar to to Azpilicueta today and Lukaku fluffed. Same as West Ham and same as Arsenal. This is just the top of my head. Take your agenda aside and all of our players would be pretty prolific in assists if chances were put away.

I never see you defending Mount in that regard.

5 games on the trot he’s played a full 90. Now 120 minutes today and still nothing. Say what you want about Havertz and Werner, but neither of them had this run of games with nothing to show for it. Pathetic from Tuchel.

Pep wanted Lukaku.

There really isn’t a solution if the only attackers that are tailored for this system are constantly benched or played out of position for Lukaku. Our defenders are the only reason we haven’t completely capitulated already.

Another United trophyless season

Get it done.

May as well field our strongest team here to get some fresh legs.

Wasn't he in trouble with the national side after it was revealed he pushed to play for Germany in 2020 but was ineligible? @Vesper will probably be the best person to speak with considering she's watched him for a few years now, but from what I've seen it seems like a smart, low risk signing. He's quick, a great dribbler, versatile, and is heavily involved in the attacking third.

So when does it expire? If it kicks in 2023 then we cannot do much this summer for an alternating RWB for James. If those are the primary options going into the summer than there really isn't a lot to be optimistic about.
