Fabrizio bringing the hammer to Vlahovic rumors.

There are so many conflicting tweets about our interest in Paulo.

If he takes over the starting role, this gets him Champions League experience.

It depends on the formation. If 4231 then Caicedo, Enzo, and Nkunku behind the CF. If 433 then again Caicedo, Enzo, and Nkunku in midfield. We need depth for them. We have Santos and Carney, really lacking a real AM. They are young, but I would rather have a talented growing player than a declining player on tired legs. If Caicedo gets done we probably need one more if you are not counting Conor. Tbh, I am curious to see what Poch can do with Conor. At the moment I would say curiously pessimistic, but it could move to curiously optimistic quickly.

We are asking for £40m, they came up to £35m from their initial £25m and Lukaku is going to cut his wage. Just get it done, there is a deal there.

He finally got around to it.

He is not making this easy for me!

I’m not reading too much into any of this. I will be patient, but if we are having these discussions about him in January, I’m done.

I just opened this thread to post this tweet! I really hope he comes into this season so hard it becomes a chore to find where to use Sterling. Without European football, there are only so many games until the domestic cups roll around.

Eight years for Fran… the women’s team is run so good. When it is all said and done Emma needs a statue at Stamford Bridge. I think Emma is in her 11th year as manager.

I know we are just hearing PR from both sides but if even 1/3 is true, we need to stay far far away…. not that he was ever coming here.

The only time I remember video of training in the past was when they invite the public to watch. Then it is just generic drills. I understand managers keeping their tactics close to the chest, but the part that would interest me is seeing them explaining to the players where they want them in their system and the options they have given situations by the opponent.
