Yaaa .. Right!!!!

I thought to work from home rather going to office for the deadline day .. so yes ... I know i m

Even Southampton are buying better defenders ... A bit more on Southampton confirming the signing of defender Virgil van Dijk from Celtic: the 24-year-old had been linked with a move to the south coast club throughout the summer as manager Ronald Koeman stepped up his search for defensive reinforcements.

Sad Deadline day ... Should have gone to work

So m I

Why are we signing him and then loaning him back ... what good is that for ... Next season we will have Kalas, Omerou, Christisen back from loan ... When they cant get a chance, whats so special about this 23 yr old ...

This is fast!!!! Michael Anthony James Hector is a footballer who plays as a centre back for Chelsea F.C. Hector began his career in the youth teams at Millwall and Thurrock before moving to Reading in 2009 where he joined the Academy. Wikipedia

Why didnt we go after Wanyama ... big, strong, very decent DM, PL exp as well ... plus we gave them Romeru already ...

Who is this now? Chelsea are close to signing Reading centre back Michael Hector for £4m, according to Sky sources.

This is seriously a strange transfer ... not sure to be happy, sad, disappointed, confused ... all emotions into one just like his name ....

Mate, you are one hopeful dude ... TBH My hope has just disappeared in the thin air ... I hope that your Hope comes true

I didnt mean in the literal sense and also small correction "He is more like a Robben type player (without the shot taking ability) who likes to dribble from the sides and come in " Hazard also moves in from outside and comes in ... But your correct that he drifts in too wide as compared to Robben.

Rennes say "Jeremie Boga is on loan with an option to buy". No word on how much that might cost them. #CFC #loanwatch Why option to buy???? (if it is true)

What a joke! ... The club that was ready to spend like 100m plus few days back have only spent approx 3m on an unknown .... Exciting times ahead ....

70+ m for him .... I pass

Why cant we get Kalas or even Omeruo (remember him ) instead of some average player whose only attribute is/could be 6'4 .... Grrrrrrrrrrrrr ... We don't need to sign players to please fans but to freaking built a solid team.

@supporter: (Sorry not able to quote) I don't feel Hazard will do justice in the center. He is more like a Robben type player (with the shot taking ability) who likes to dribble from the sides and come in ... Shifting in the center means he doesn't get much spaces to cut players as there are normally overload of players in the center and Hazard is certainly no Messi. Defenders have started reading him specially when he comes from the center, they create a sort of wall which Hazard is not able to breach ... He is good on the left but he needs to take his game to the next level in terms of the surprise element .. he needs to work on his shooting skills to create the doubt in defenders.

Looks like we suddenly talking to every defenders left, right center ... seems hilarious at time.

For everyone saying we need to sack the manager, I don't believe that is the right way forward for our club given our situation with managers in the past. I m a big Jose critique but as a club we aren't look up well when it comes to handling our managers. With the slight drop in form, we are out to get a new manager. Every manager in the right mind wouldn't chose Chelsea other than money angle (Pep has been the prime example) ... We say lets go after Klopp, do you seriously think he will come over to get sacked in a year? We would rather wait and try his hands at Bayern next season. Right now, we can just hope Jose sits, thinks, re-thinks his strategy and gets us up and running. We have the players, the potential, even a good manager if he drops his ego and arrogance. Club & board has to support the manager so that when tomm we go out hunting mangers, we can get a world class one. You look around and every club is supporting their managers baring Chelsea (Jose has been the exception because it was damage control after the Pep fiasco)... imagine likes of Pelligerni, LVG, Wenger at Chelsea and they wouldn't have gone beyond their first/second year. My 2 cents on the sacking ...

Agreed on Zabaleta (for me the best RB in the last 3 seasons) & Kolarov (very under-rated) ... But age is catching up with everyone and Sagna at times isnt convincing (a lot of time) ... i believe all of these are in their 30s (if i m not wrong), it's a risk for them at this stage to not invest in those positions ... The fire power they have they will always score and keep the not so strong opposition on the back foot. Let see as the season goes ahead ...

Good piece of business by City ... If Augero can be fit, then they can really do well in the Champions League as well ... PL they should be champions hands down now ... The only weaklings for me in the City squad would be their fullbacks other than that they are very very good.

Fail to understand something, why is that we dont have a backup planned in case the Pogba deal goes south (which has now) ... if are spending shit loads of money on Pogba, I m sure we can get anyone for that position with that kind of money. Something doesnt feel right... If we thought that we will get our man, seems to be an arrogant way of dealing things ... Thought we learned our lesson after Pep's fiasco ...

Jose needs a break ... And I hope he takes one away specially with the international break coming up ... Take a small break, gather your mojos and get going ...

Re-phrasing it: Chelsea cannot afford to sack a manager for a few seasons ... We already have a bad reputation with managers. Just hoping that common sense prevails in Jose ...

Magic Words!! Something that cannot be spoken around ...
