It looks like Chelsea or West Ham is going to get Gabigol ‐--------- And on Friday evening, Gabigol indicated that he would not be extending his stay at Flamengo with a message on Twitter which read: ‘Thank you for your love.’ Flamengo supporters were quick to respond to Gabigol’s message, with the majority interpreting it as a farewell gesture. --------- https://www.google.com/amp/s/metro.co.uk/2020/01/04/gabigol-drops-farewell-hint-flamengo-chelsea-west-ham-make-approach-11999617/amp/

Thank you. I am hoping when we get closer, there is a concert or something at Stamford Bridge. We will definitely do the tour.

According to The Telegraph, Bayer Leverkusen star Leon Bailey is one of the names on Lampard’s radar. Another alternative is Samuel Chukwueze, with the Nigerian catching the eye for Villarreal in La Liga. Fyodor Chalov is also in the club’s sights but the Russian star is more of a centre forward. He is also attracting interest from Crystal Palace. https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1223695/Chelsea-transfer-news-LIVE-Timo-Werner-decision-Jadon-Sancho-Wilfried-Zaha-Lampard-targets

Looks like Michy will be leaving. https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/transfer-news/aston-villa-michy-batshuayi-transfer-17508870

Chelsea will be better off saving their bank for summer. With all the prime targets off the market, what is left will be severely over valued. I wish Lampard would see we really do need Ake. We struggle every week to put together a consistent back line. If not for three beautiful saves by Kepa, we would have lost 3 or 4 to 1 last week.

Need some help. We are going to be staying in Fulham for 5 days around June 10th. Thinking about either the Captain Cook or La Reserve. What is going on at Stamford Bridge during that time frame?

These kids have consistently shown how inconsistent they can play.

End of the day, we got a point and all the teams close to us lost. I'll take it. And hope for better play.

Time to sign some talent.

We have looked solid this game. Need another goal.

Happy New years everyone.

Young team after bringing in the New Year! 🤷‍♂️

It is difficult to tell if The Sun is speculating the contract in January for Sancho with a loan back like the Pulisic deal, or if they are saying that scenario is being discussed by both teams? https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/10602563/jadon-sancho-chelsea-man-utd-liverpool-120m/

Vesper beat me to it!

Nooooooo Lampard remains confident in his current defensive cohort after a mixed start to his first season as a Premier League boss, in particular Fikayo Tomori. Despite that, there are two things that are directly influencing the ex-England midfielder’s plans, which are the fitness of Antonio Rudiger and the desire of Andreas Christensen to fight for his spot. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1222720/Chelsea-transfer-news-Frank-Lampard-Nathan-Ake-Bournemouth-Tomori-Rudiger-Christensen/amp

Right now I would be happy with Werner and two defensive players better than what we have. I don't look at Werner to challange Tammy, but we cant expect Tammy to play every PL, FA, and CL game. I would like to see the Sancho deal, but Dortmund is expecting stupid money.

Thank you Jorginho. We looked horrific, Jorginho comes on and we look much much better. A win headed into the transfer window. Please buy players that can add to the team this year.

Pre-game coverage in the US has the commentors picking Chelsea to win. Feck, they are never correct.

We have been in a real bizarro world with our team for the last month. Players with key injuries, line ups that don't make sense, formations, and no fecking plan of attack in the final third. I'm trying to keep the faith, but it is not easy.

How many top players will want to come when they see shit show after shit show?

I am shocked CHO started when he has shown nothing lately on the pitch.

We are awfully close to signatures being put on paper, and yet no clear agreements. Who do you think is really going to happen? I believe the Werner deal happens.

CHO needs to show some form as a sub before occupying a starting position.

Very happy with the result. I hope it is the start of a good run to come.

Mount for Bale? Some of these rumors are a bit wild, but what do I know what these people actually discuss behind the scenes. https://www.caughtoffside.com/2019/12/18/chelsea-transfer-news-bale-for-mount-swap-deal/
