This many changes just screams disaster to me. Especially that back 4.

Please don't tell me Kante is fucking injured again!

No Auba against us!

That's an ankle snapper from Aubameyang. Shocking tackle!

That might be game over already for Palace. They can't get a touch and have a side out there that looks like a Championship XI. Early days, but you can already see the Pep influence in one part of Arse's style of play under Arteta- the relentless hunting down of the ball when the opponent has it.

Hate Sean Dyche, hate most of their players, hope we fucking smash them. Prepared to be reaaaaally annoyed that we lay another egg, though.

Can see United being after Chilwell as well. In fact, United's transfer targets are probably very close to ours. Striker, right sided attacker, and LB. Luke Shaw is injured 95% of the time so it being United they'll of course target the current hot property British LB.

Well it's a good thing then that we have *checks notes* Ross Barkley back now to pick up the attacking slack. 😷😷😷

It seems Wenger's "there's no value in January" observation has finally come true. None of the big clubs doing significant (or any) business this month. Even the ones who desperately need additions like Spuds/Arse/United aren't doing shit. Problem with this is that many of these big clubs will surely be waiting on the same few top players and hoping they're the ones who can convince them to choose them. It'll be a battle between like a dozen clubs for Werner/Sancho/Chilwell etc.

Our board will either look brilliant or like absolute morons for waiting until the summer. Especially if our primary targets end up at our PL rivals. Also pinning everything on whether or not we finish top 4. Again, it just seems like utter madness to put such a massive burden on Tammy for a whole season.

Not close to signing anyone and our most dangerous attacking player Pulisic is out for a significant period now. What a depressing press conference that was! 😣

At this point I think we're probably going to fuck around and panic buy Nathan Redmond just before the window closes. 😂😂😂

Tbf, Spuds will probably be desperate enough to overpay for Dembele while we won't be. Could see him going there with Kane out long term. He could really showcase himself as the main man for a while.

Conte really fancies aging, over the hill players, huh? Giroud, Ashley Young etc

So Spurs will be without him for basically the remainder of the season and United will be without their best two players (Pogba & Maguire) for a long while too. Arsenal are Arsenal. Absolutely zero excuses not to finish top 4 for us now.

With Cavani on his way to Atleti, I'm actually shocked we haven't been linked with bringing Diego back! Whats going on there, btw? Why are they after Cavani when they've got Diego, Morata, and that Portuguese kid?

He'll never name names but that's what I mean about clever questions. Maybe we can learn what specific areas of the team he and the club are looking at. I doubt it, but worth a try.

Maybe we'll get a journalist asking the questions in a clever enough way to get some clues out of Frank at the presser tomorrow.

We know what happens when shit teams missing some of their best players comes up against Chelsea this season... Be delighted if that shitcunt Ashley Barnes doesn't play.

The media sure likes linking Chelsea with players who failed spectacularly moving to their current big clubs. First Gabigol and now Lemar. I would sure hope our club isn't stupid enough for either of those. I remember Lemar being fiercely lusted after before he went to Atleti. Didn't Arsenal bid some monster amount for him? I think United were after him hard as well. Looks like both dodged a bullet.

A rumor is born and killed within mere minutes. 😂 Midfielders, especially young and unproven ones, are really the last thing we need at the moment. Say what we want about Barkley but he's just now back from injury and Lamps clearly rates him. RLC to come back as well. We have no room for anyone else.

Just watched some Gedson Fernandes. Know who he reminds me of? Like a quicker Paul Pogba. Must say that I'm surprised that we're being linked with CM's this month. That's both him and Soumare now.

Think he'd probably fancy the rebuild. They've got the building blocks for a good side with players like DDG, Maguire, AWB, McTom-whatever, Rashford, etc. They're finally starting to get rid of all the shite they've had on their books. Bring Poch in this summer, give him £250m to spend, and suddenly they could be back in business. He could look like a hero restoring them to glory. I think they're "only" a top class #9 and a couple of midfielders away.

Even the Zaha's and Dembele's seem off the table at this point, nevermind the top shelf players. The Lyon president could very well be trying to bump up the price as he's done before, but he once again just said Dembele won't be sold. The price for Zaha is well known and we could likely get him at any time. But the club must not fancy it because if we did we'd have signed him up immedietly after the window opened. He could've been here already helping the team. In typical Chelsea fashion I'm going to bet that we'll leave it 'til deadline day where we'll buy 1 good player and also make one panic buy, out of nowhere mediocre player. I kinda blame the many journalists for hyping up Chelsea fans by making it sound like we would aggressively attack the market as soon as we could. "Chelsea have a huuuuge transfer 'kitty' and have already earmarked 321 players that they'll go for!" In reality we don't appear close to signing anyone.

Seems like someone at our club really fancies Dembele, huh. I'm sure Frank would be delighted to have him as an option but we've reportedly been interested in him long before Frank was appointed. He must be earmarked by scouts/higher ups as a good fit for the club.
