Pizy

None of the 3 midfielders in this side can make a decisive pass. They’re all runners and athletes but aren’t creative at all. No one to spot a run or penetrate the lines.

Looked like a perfect, ball winning tackle and he gets booked.

Not going to trouble this parked bus at all playing at this walking pace.

Lot of pace and energy in that West Ham attack so you can tell what their game plan is. Press and unsettle our CB’s and midfield as much as possible like Leeds did.

Van Dijk exempt from being shown red I guess…

Even when Havertz sits Broja can’t get a start? Wtf? Pulisic was dogshit when he came on against Southampton.

I see that along with Reece and Mount, Mendy is also going to be offered a new deal. But should we really be rushing to offer Edou a new contract? Are we sure he’s our best long term solution? He can be a fantastic shot stopper when in form but also makes so many silly errors and let’s in a few that he shouldn’t. His distribution can look serviceable sometimes and woeful others. We should definitely hold off on any contract offer until we’ve seen the type of season he has.

Jesus Christ. Tuchel didn’t even say anything this morning about him. Said he was ready to go tomorrow.

Looking at the window as a whole with both in’s and out’s it’s honestly astounding. And this is the very first window this new ownership group have ever participated in. Boehly had to establish relationships and get the whole operation set up in the span of a couple of months and was still able to pull off this transfer window. Imagine what we’ll be like once we appoint a proper DoF with world class scouts beneath him.

I actually think the number that was rumored/reported that Boehly was willing to go to was £300m. And I fully believe that we would’ve done so if we had more time. That period early in the window where there were weeks of no movement probably cost us another high profile wide attacker. Regardless, we’ve done extremely well. And I wouldn’t even rule out a busy January depending on how things go.

Zakaria didn’t get his work permit in time so not in the squad for tomorrow according to Tuchel. RLC is over his injury so his options for midfield are RLC, Kova, CG, and Jorginho. With Fofana having several training sessions in his legs now I think he goes straight into the XI which means the RLC at wingback experiment is over. So which pairing does he go with in the middle to handle WH’s very physical, very athletic side? Think it’s almost surely going to be Kova and J5 and we just have to pray that Kova is more fit and we as a team are more assertive to make sure Jorginho doesn’t get exposed.

All we ask is for a striker who can put away chances against shit teams that we dominate. Is that asking too much? He knows what this league is all about and scored goals for fun when he was invested and fully up for it at Arse.

Hahahaha good one, Vesper! Almost had me there

Chelsea waiting and keeping everyone over there in the UK awake for dramatic effect. 😂

Guess it was a step too far for us to get rid of all the deadwood since it looks like sadly Batshuayi’s move to Forest has collapsed. But getting Barkley, Drinkwater, and Kenedy off the books in recent months is great.

Not sure why so many of our fans on Twitter want Memphis. Looks like it’s definitely not happening anyways.

I see lots of people saying “Auba’s jaw looks fine!” What, is he supposed to have a giant cast wrapped around his head? 🤣🤣🤣 You don’t know what the inside of his mouth looks like.

As someone already mentioned, I can take solace in the fact that both Kulu and Bentancur looked bang average for Juve and were laughed at and questioned when Spuds bought them. Now they’re two of Conte’s best and most important players. So just because someone doesn’t look great in Italy they can turn things around. At least it’s a low risk loan. We now have to pray that he doesn’t look like a terrified seal thrown into a pool of sharks like Saul did last season. If nothing else at least Zakaria is a massive physical presence and shouldn’t be bullied.

Think we can cross Depay off. Currently still training with Barca according to Fab.

Juve fans on their forum don’t seem to rate him at all. 😩😩😩 Fuck sake, man.

So we’ll end with 4 really great buys (Cucu, Sterling, KK, and Fofana) and potentially 3 really, really strange and potentially poor ones (Auba, Zaharia, Depay)? Not the disaster many are saying but this deadline day will leave a sour taste after the start to the season we’ve had.

Really does feel exactly like Saul. A midfielder who will never even see the pitch when the injury situation improves. What a fucking waste. At least Alvarez was a key cog in a successful team. Juve are probably thanking their lucky stars if they can dump Zaharia on us.

Didn’t he completely flop at Juve after the hype from last summer when they supposedly got him for a “bargain” price?

Oh God, we’re going to get some bum on loan that some other team doesn’t even use aren’t we…

Just £9m for Billy. I’m not even one of those Chelsea fans who see this brilliant future superstar or anything and even I can see that’s a ridiculously low price. Especially since it’s to a side like Brighton who develop players into £50m + sales. United were just able to get £15m for some kid who didn’t even play for their first team, ffs. We really couldn’t get £20-25m for him WITH a reasonable buy back clause?
