I wonder who has final approval of kits for clubs. Or does Nike get full freedom as part of their sponsorship contract? In a vacuum this 3rd kit isn't bad, but for Chelsea it's poor.

Newcastle are going to be an annoying side to play against this season with Fraser and Callum Wilson. Front 3 of Wilson, Saint-Maximin, and Fraser has a lot of pace. Their attack should no longer be a black hole where nothing happens.

Once I typed in "Nick Pope 2020" I found some. He looks pretty damned impressive I must say. Makes a lot of saves with his legs like DDG which is pretty unusual. Looks more impressive than Mendy for me but I wonder what kind of price Burnley would ask. If he's even possible.

I don't even see any compilation of Nick Pope's season on YouTube. Was trying to get a look at how good he is but I guess nobody really cares enough about Burnley to make videos on him. 😆

United fans were talking lots of shit about Chilwell last week and laughing at the price saying Luke Shaw was easily better than Chilly. Right, he's so good that Ole is now looking to replace his injury prone ass with Reguilon. 😂

I'm fine with Mendy since he reminds me of Courtois. Massive, commanding presence but weak with the ball at his feet. Serviceable, maybe, but nowhere close to many modern, ball playing keepers. We just need someone steady and assertive first and foremost. We can sacrifice ball playing ability if Mendy can stop us getting destroyed on corners and crosses. Or holding our breath every time a long range shot heads toward our goal.

Doesn't look like there's any scenario in which Kepa isn't our starting keeper for at least the first match or two. Doesn't Mendy currently have COVID? So if he is the one we buy you have that to deal with for who knows how long. Feels like a new keeper should probably not have been left so late.

Hope so. Sam Wallace of the Telegraph just put out an article speculating that his injury might keep him out at the start of the season. But maybe it was just speculation and not something he's heard.

Starting to get a bit worried that we haven't heard anything about Ziyech's injury. Strange how none of the clued in Chelsea reporters have heard anything about the severity of the knock. Having our two best wide players injured at the start of the season would really blow.

Yeah, this is an awful watch. Iceland not really even attempting to attack. England with zero cutting edge. Only reason I'm watching this is to have a look at Sancho live for a change rather than just highlights. Must say, he reminds me of Hazard a bit with his dribbling. Got that same explosive burst of pace to explode past defenders. It seems inevitable that he goes to United but it would be lovely if the move collapses and he moves to Real Madrid next summer.

My my, he does look good in our clolors! And I hope he doesn't wear 29. Such an ugly number. We need that beautiful #8 to become available. 😏

The likes of Wolves, Everton, and Leeds out here signing players for huge money. Power of the PL £££. What a ridiculously competetive season this will be.

Still think there may be a twist in the goalkeeper story. Wouldn't be surprised if we hear a completely new name out of nowhere that we were not linked with before. Mendy's apparent lack of ability with the ball at his feet could be a risk the club may not want to take.

Who cares what the actual fee was, we've got ourselves a player that literally any club in Europe would have in their team if they could afford him.

Speaks better English than many English players. As an American he is 100% easier for me to understand than Barkley for instance with that godawful Scouse accent.

Some of these smaller PL teams will get desperate as the deadline approaches and it's at that time we can probably scam a couple of them into coming for our deadwood. Maybe even on loan if necessary. Could see Ross or RLC going on loan.

I wait around all day incase we announce him and then as soon as I take an afternoon nap it happens and I miss it. 😆😆😆 LETS GOOOOO! I distinctly recall saying when we were first linked with him a couple of months ago that it would be impossible. With Barkley and RLC still here I'm still not sure how we've pulled this off! I figured we'd have to shed at least a couple of players before even considering making a move for Havertz. What a ridiculous signing.

Surprised there haven't been any grainy spy shots of Kai at Heathrow or around Cobham yet. 😆

NICE! Hopefully that's fucked City's transfer plans completely. Barca about to have a pissed off, unmotivated, sulking Messi all season. And him not moving this summer surely means City won't be in for him again when he's a year older, right?

With Havertz in, I'd give our transfer window a 9/10 so far. That will raise to a 9.5/10 if we get a new keeper in and a 10/10 if we manage to offload some of our duds like Emerson, Barkley, Bakayoko, Drinkwater etc. Just a stunning job we've done so far.

German side will surely claim €100m while our side will be briefing English reporters €70-80m.

To think within a few short summers ago we were being linked to Andy Carrol, Peter Crouch, Callum Wilson and buying Djilobodji, Pato, Falcao,Michael Hector, Miazga etc. 😂😂😂😂 And now we're finally shopping in the top tier like a big club should.

So we'll get Havertz for tens of millions less than Bayer initially asked for and Chiilwell for 30m less than what they initially wanted. The Corona discount is real and we've exploited it masterfully. Neither of those clubs would've had any reason at all to budge in those demands if this were a normal summer.

Most important thing. Some of our rivals will be scrambling near deadline day for some of their big targets while we'll already be training with ours. That should be huge.

Right then, let's see how cheesy this announcement video will be! They've had ages to produce it! 😆
