Sterling could genuinely have like 4 tonight. What was that pass from Mase!? Sterling had an open net.

I just don’t see the same impact on a match with Reece in a back 4. He doesn’t look comfortable.

Sterling looks REALLY good!

Saw a tweet earlier today that it’s close to done for him to go to Everton. Only getting about £70k per week. If we were interested I think would could quite easily hijack it.

It is nice to see Sterling and KK already look like they’re ready to go for the start of the season whilst a few other aren’t yet. Concerning how completely blunt Havertz has looked all preseason, though. At least in this match he’s looking dangerous and is getting the ball in the box. But if he doesn’t start scoring goals soon I worry how we’re going to accumulate enough points to keep up with the more prolific sides.

Much more coherent and positive than last time out. Still a few out there that aren’t at their sharpest (Reece, Kai, Kante) but overall much better. But still a horrendous moment of counter attacking defending sours it. Just let a dude running a straight line all the way from back to front.

Sterling and Mase look sharp and dangerous every time they break.

Please, please, please for the love of God don’t tell me Chilwell is injured already before the season even starts…

Why would the bigger club agree to a buy back clause? That would be mighty silly to agree to.

We seem to be loading up at youth level again assuming that’s where this Italian kid is heading if we sign him. The Chelsea Women’s team is reloading apparently. Meanwhile, the team everyone cares about…. 😒

I just think that if there’s any chance of us getting Fofana or Skriniar we should try absolutely everything to get one of those two first and foremost. Pavard should be someone we go for if those fail or even in addition to one of them. I’d much rather sign Pavard than Kimpembe, though.

I think we need 2 more CB’s so we never have to see Sarr play for us again.

Pavard would be a solid signing I think. But not as our final CB target.

Hesitated WHY, though? If we hesitated and then immediately signed someone else that’s one thing. But we don’t appear to be chasing anyone else in particular. It doesn’t look like Tuchel was choosing between Koundé and some other CB and chose the other one. Because Tuchel himself has said we need at least 1 more CB. Doesn’t sound believable to me. Let’s see what Tuchel says.

We can’t give away our deadwood because they’re on huge wages and the past it players other clubs DO want like Azpi and Alonso we are refusing to let go of because we’re so incompetent that we can’t find replacements. I just saw Nizaar tweet that Batshuayi has been given an official shirt number. A player who if you dropped into a Championship side would look in over his head. And he may be playing serious minutes for us this season. That’s how dire the situation is for us. Unless a few dramatic late moves happen this coming week this will equal last summer as the worst transfer window in memory.

Annoying as hell that the only credible Chelsea rumors everyday now are outgoings. We don’t even appear remotely close to bringing anyone else in. Have we given up?

Huh? Is this a serious post? Fofana is one of the most talented young CB’s in Europe and looks incredible both in the ball and in actual defending. In my opinion he’s going to be world class within the next few years. And what better way to realize that talent than learning beside two of the best of the last 10 years in Thiago Silva and Koulibaly. And under a manager that maximized 37 year old Silva, brought Rüdiger out of the wilderness and made him world class, and made Christensen a respectable CB. I’d give Leicester £70m or whatever to get him.

Where the hell are Law and Ornstein, btw? The complete silence from either of them since both reported that we were close to Koundé is disconcerting. If anything transfer related was happening at Chelsea those two are clued in. That neither have said anything recently must mean that fuck all is currently close.

Pavard could be an interesting one to watch I suppose. He himself said in an interview that he primarily sees himself as a CB rather than a fullback. So I don’t think he’d have trouble slotting into a back 3. Good age, huge experience in a big team, probably wouldn’t cost a massive fee. But has there been any indication that Bayern would sell? No idea.

Good. No more Koundé tweets now. I can stop seeing Fabrizio tweet the exact same thing everyday. Now perhaps our club can do something to make up for the embarrassment of this saga? 😒

Don’t want to break up the Jorginho & Koulibaly bromance after they’ve just been reunited. 🤣

When’s the next Tuchel presser? Be interesting to hear what he has to say about the lack of movement. He very clearly has said himself that he wanted 3 total new CB signings and we can’t even sign a second. Wonder if he’ll be as outspoken as he was about our performance the other day.

As I’ve been saying, it’s looking more and more likely that we’re going to do what Chelsea have frequently done. Panic buy near the deadline for someone far below standard just because we need the numbers.

I just wonder how he’d look in a team without a traditional playmaker at his age. If you dropped 38 year old CR7 in the City team where they’d create 1000 chances for him I still think he’d be incredible. You drop him in our XI with Mount, Sterling, and whoever is on the other wing I think he’d struggle. None of these players are the sort that will feed him service. Likewise our CM’s.

I also wouldn’t be surprised if it happens at or near the deadline. We’ll get desperate in our search for a striker/winger and United will be desperate to get rid of a gigantic distraction.
