Pizy

If you guys haven't yet, watch the highlights of his last match in the CL final on YouTube. He's just effortlessly classy and extremely calm. Like he's just casually strolling around barely breaking a sweat. And that's against the scariest side in Europe who have blown everyone else away. That's precisely what we needed. Shit, depending on the CB partnership and the keeper situation it could mean Jorginho comes back in the fold as a hugely important player. Having a rock of a defender behind him so we aren't totally exposed to counter attacks could allow us to use J5.

Christ. Morata, Baka, and Zappa were poor but at least they played enough for us to find out they were poor. Drinkwater is the worst buy easily becasue he didn't even get a look in. Feels like he got about 2 Chelsea appearences. Literally money flushed down the drain.

Has he been pictured back with the Bayer squad yet? That cheeky Twitter admin of theirs has loved trolling our fans recently so you would think if he was there training with them that dude would be posting about it.

Just saw on Twitter that Martinez wants out at Arse because Arteta wants Leno as his #1. We should be all over that.

So I've been thinking about it a lot this morning and I'm starting to reconcile the idea that we won't bring in a new keeper this summer. I believe Havertz will be our final incoming. Similarly to the Declan Rice transfer, I think we will wait until next summer to bring someone in there. Can see the club giving Kepa one last chance, seeing if he improves with a much better team in front of him, and assess the options in either January or this time next summer. Just the fact that no super reliable roporter has linked us with anyone in particular tells me nothing is close. The Romano's and Di Marzio's of the world sniff these things out well in advance. That combined with there being no real clear destination for Kepa to go.

💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 The clown defensive errors are hopefully a thing of the past now...

I'm going to be old and grey before Havertz is a Chelsea player. 👴🏻 Also, people have to take it easy on the Ampadu talk. I don't think he's anywhere close to ready for the first team of a side trying to challenge for trophies. We need to get him a good PL loan to see if he can cut it here first.

I think Romano is as reliable as they get these days, actually. It's people like Fjortoft who don't have a clue. They just repeat what actual reporters tell him.

With both Chilwell and now Silva we've heard multiple days in advance about them having their medicals. Since we haven't yet with Havertz I think we're going to have to wait until next week for his signature.

Next up: The Big One Then we can focus all of our attention on a keeper.

It's not just Romano, though. Far too many reliable sources saying it's happening and close for anyone to say it's not on. The waiting is what's torture.

The last 2 times now when I've finally convinced myself that Havertz was 100% done and happening within 24 hours, a Leverkusen staff member comes out with quotes to pour cold water on things.

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.
