Ohhhhhh, nvm then It wouldn't have been the most ridiculous excuse for Courtois on this site tbf to me.

How so? Barring him changing his GK style I don't see why should blamed; Cech did just fine in that regard with Lollichon as his coach too.

While true it would be really nice for a change if Courtois managed play the ball like a sweeper keeper for once in his life. Everytime he has to come out of the 6-yard box I expect us to concede/give away a penalty in 90% of instances.

I was promised Conte loves playing the youth. So we shall look forward to those 40 starts Fikayo will make this year. Anything else would be disappointing.

I would have liked to see him with #33. Apparently, that's Tomori's number though.

Speaking of which, the football community does a really poor job when it comes to analysing players on tape. As an NBA guy I'm so used to scouting videos from professional scouts that every time I wanna look up a football player to get a feel for him I find shitty highlights videos with even shittier music choices and it's all just smh

How depressing if true. Gary fucking Cahill?!

WHERE YOU AT FAM

Please don't be worse than 2016 Ivanovic.

Aight, you got me there. Though, it doesn't look like the fee will be all that big going by that tweet above.

Does it though? Because Luiz is 29 years old now so a 5-yr deal would take him to 34; not sure that aligns with our policy (even Felipe Luis only signed for 3 years IIRC)

It was nice knowing you.

Oh I love it, man! I take the occasional brainfart considering everything else he brings. His distribution from the back, his ball-keeping ability as well as his dribbling ability are something none of our CBs possess, and not just them - as far as those attributes go he's in the 95 percentile among CBs in general. Plus, Kante and Matic in front of Luiz should be more than enough cover when he decides to bring the ball up. People may have forgotten but the last time Luiz was around we had Lampard, Ramires, and Mikel playing in midfield which is a couple of levels below our current options (defensively and offensively, mind you). As I said MY BODY IS READY. MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

MY BODY IS READY

Makes me think PSG would want the fee in € like Juve when they sold Pogba to United.

Deal is done, apparently.

FFS Chelsea, even I got asked out

More with Hazard's poor finishing and Costa's awful technique, tbh.

We must have had like 80% possession so far

Weirdly enough I love this camera angle

Our 3rd kit is uglier than last year's so there's that.

It's saying just as much about you that you believe everything you read in the papers.

When will people learn that clubs make almost no money from shirt sales? The vast majority of kits are being provided by adidas directly to selling companies which means that adidas gets the money. Why else would adidas or any other shirt provider pay millions to football clubs if the latter didn't give up their shirt rights? The only money clubs make through kits is by selling kits directly in their fan shops, no more.

Solid game from Kanté.
