Pizy

It's like a fucking avalanche of announcements and signings! I love it! 😂 We're seriously going to make 5-6 signings before United make ONE having finished on the same points last season! 😆😆😆

Been several days since any Havertz update. My muppet rash is flaring up again! MUST. HAVE. HAVERTZ. NEWS. 😬😬😬

Says on the Instagram post that he will go out on loan. Kind of surprising as I thought we'd at least give him a look in preseason first. Anyway, can only see this as a positive signing. Can go out on loan, do well, and come in next summer ready to go.

Dec will be a Chelsea player next summer. He knows it. 😆

It may not hurt us on the pitch but almost all of the players quarantined are ones we hope to sell or loan. Wonder how this effects that.

How is half our team effected by this but we haven't heard anything about other clubs? They all went away on holidays too. Pretty irresponsible on the players to not be ultra careful knowing the next season was coming up so soon, though.

Just did a bit of reading of the French language PSG forum (via Google translations) and they're truly sad to see him go and a bunch of them are saying they're really going to regret letting him leave because he's still so good. Even saw one poster saying he could play until he's 50. 😂 Really eased any concerns I had about whether he's still capable of playing at such a high level for a while longer. As long as our midfield and keeper don't play like clowns we should be able to reduce the chances of him being isolated against the quicker players we'll be up against. If he settles and clicks we have arguably the best CB in the league for a year or two. On a free.

True. Silva will be tomorrow for sure. Kai Friday. Then Oblak on Monday. /s

If it's not announced friday im coming for your head.

Yeah, cool to see. Should be extremely easy for him to settle since we have so many English guys in the team.

Well damn. Hope he's close to being ready.

There's an international break after the second match right? So hopefully Chilly will only miss the first 2 matches and then by the time that break is over he'll be ready.

Let's go! Now we hope he can get up to speed quickly with his injury. Can't bare the thought of seeing Alonso in a back 4 or Azpi at LB for too much longer. It's a shame he isn't available straight away since we have Liverpool in the 2nd match.

Chilly today, Silva tomorrow, Havertz Friday. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Seems Arse and Spuds are making clever, cheap, and yet ultra-boring moves in the market. Players that can improve them, yes, but won't take them up to the level of Liverpool/City/Chelsea/United. Think Arse will at least be pleasant on the eye. Spuds and Mou will be a chore to watch.

I'd have either one of their keepers tbh. Strange how we haven't been hearing anything about their keeper situation. Martinez said publicly that he wouldn't stay to sit on the bench.

The thing you normally have to worry about with these giant keepers is how quick they are laterally. How fast they can shuffle their feet across goal and how quickly the can sprint out to smother a ball on the ground. But to be honest, I'd take the trade off of being slightly weaker in those areas if we got a dude who can utterly dominate anything close to him in the air and who is a dominant shot stopper. Curious to hear what some of the French league experts have to say about him if these links are true. Haven't heard a thing about him before.

Makes sense. Probably want that lad from Leipzig in first to soften the blow of selling their posterboy.

I think the expectation is that we'll hear something about all of these targets by Friday, right? The Chilwell reports said something about "within 3 days he'll be a Chelsea player." Think that was Monday. Thiago Silva will apparently have his medical tomorrow. There was some kind of deadline in regards to Havertz on the 28th right? Which is Friday. Can't recall what that deadline was, Bayer resume training or off to German team duty. Hopefully not too much longer. If things advanced as far as was reported by Romano and Falk, it's a bit weird how paperwork is taking so long, though. Maybe the club really is planning a flashy triple announcement.

Can't say I've ever seen Mendy play nor Rennes, but they did finish 3rd in the league so I'm guessing they were a good side. Which would hopefully mean he's used to playing in a good setup and not coming from some tiny minnow and will be overwhelmed. He's also a fucking giant at 6'6. Would be nice having a Courtois sized keeper again.

City are basically irrelevent outside of England. Nobody cares about them. Chelsea is a globally supported club and MILES bigger than City. They'll get a shit load of bandwagon glory hunters who jump ship from supporting other clubs if they sign Messi, yes. But they'll be supporting Messi not City. Don't care how much shady money the oil state pumps in to artificially inflate their revenue and sponsorships.

Everton and Leeds making those sorts of signings, wow. Power of those Premier League £££'s. Also I was thinking, I wonder what City's next golden boy who they've been slobbering over for a while now Phil Foden would feel about Messi coming in. He was meant to slot into that #10 position with Silva leaving. If Messi comes in I doubt Pep would play him as a striker but rather just behind Aguero or Jesus. Foden back riding the bench and wasting away playing the odd game here and there.

Ehh, with our recruitment this summer and what I'm sure will continue next summer I'm not so sure we should be dismissing our chances in the CL so quickly. I mean, Bayern were a level above everyone else but the other 3 semi finalists were nothing special. We are miles better than Lyon or Leipzig and I'd fancy our new look team against bottlers PSG as well. You get to the last 4 and anything can happen. I wouldn't write us off challenging for the CL within the next 2 years if we get hot at the right time.

Still think there's a 95% chance Messi stays after he forces everyone he dislikes out and Barca stops being run into the ground by those clowns. He has to be fuming that his twighlight years are going to be wasted if things continue as they have been.

Rio being a cheeky troll there poking fun at us being linked with a hundred players I think. 😆 Hopefully nobody is gullible enough to believe we're in for Messi.
