Now saying apparently he hasnt passed...

In other news super agent Mino Riola has passed away. He had some big players under him, wonder what will happen..

Losing 2 CBs on FREE really hurts, add to that the failure of the big money signing.. we are losing so much money...

How much do you think Lukaku can fetch? If we can sell him at a decent price, (probably a loss) it would be helpful for our transfer budget.

SKIN. OF. OUR. TEETH.

Remember pre TT, we were desperately trying to sell him hence the contract situation. I think the board thought we could sell him before a renewal. His huge rise in form under TT was probably unexpected and he felt he could demand more money because of it, leaving our board in a sticky situation. With Andreas, he agreed on terms then made a u-turn.. nothing we can do there. The one positive we get from this is we can buy CBs than can play at 2 and 3 atb. So vital for the new owners to get someone who knows what theyre doing regarding youth and recruitment.

We will need to get another CB with his intensity. Also we definitely need to ship quite a handful of players off to help with funds, we just have too many players to buy. Barkley, Lukaku, Sarr, RLC (although he intends to stay), Kepa, one of Puli, Ziyech,Werner. It is really difficult to plan your next buys when you dont know who the owner is..

Oh we were definitely playing for something that day..

I am speechless after that performance. Sell. I'd rather an academy player.

How is Sarr a professional footballer?? Abysmal, shambolic, slow, 37 y.o Silva had to do his job and was faster, never will be a Chelsea level player.. Im sorry but can you even call that defending..that was Sunday League stuff... never play him again, his price will drop so much. RLC always a sub never a starter, just doesnt have it in him. Also we were mentally exhausted after the madrid game where we left everything on the pitch, just scraped through palace and now we have run out of gas here. Kova was a big loss.

TT is vital for the Rudiger situation. Hopefully the manager player bond can help find middle ground where both parties are satisfied.

This is the guy that thinks hes a world class level player but then has the touch of a brick wall. Talks the talk but never walks the walk. If he just got his head down and worked hard and not done that clusterfuck of an interview in the middle of the season, he would not get as much hate.

Agree, a clinical goalscoring wide forward is what we need. But how in the hell are we going to shift Lukaku...

Understandable if we are not willing to let him play, he is quite a player. Hopefully he can play for his boyhood club at Wembley sometime in the near future.

After that game i feel the mentality of this squad has risen to a new level.

PSG would be a great fit for Lukaku tbh

Pulisic is so hot and cold.. also will likely stay if we get American owners.

Has the physique and technique to be a very very good player but never takes a game by the scruff of the neck. Shame.

Amazing performance from the lads. We needed this game to be a perfect game for us to the T to get through. The fact that people thought we were finished after the first leg and Real were about to stroll thought when in fact they barely scraped through.. showed how well we played tonight. One of the things im proud of is the mentality and the maturity shown by our young players. This is an experience they can hopefully look back on and learn from. We move on.

As long as the team gives it their best shot, play with the right mentality then im happy.

Please let future signings be players with adequate technical ability, no more Lukakus and Timos please.

Biggest challenge this transfer window is to offload him.. urrghhhh how has most on here can see it coming but not the board or at least scouts.. oh my days.. not only is he terrible on the pitch, he is also a negative influence in the dressing room

I dont think Tuchel convinced him to come back, the money did. I remember something like, if Inter had offered him a new, improved contract, he wouldnt be here.

He can learn a lot from playing / training with NG.

Mendy mistake killed the game, so early after half time too
