Blue-in-me-Veins

Badmon Batsman.

Those two deals hurt the most. Really wanted either one in Chelsea blue yet both end up at Bayern. That's just not fair. Fuck Bayern Munich man.

His deal is up June 2018.. if Arsenal are smart they will accept any bid worth around £25-30M for him instead of nothing at all. Same for why they're trying tk sell Sanchez out of the EPL, because if Bayern or PSG pull out of the deal, they'd be fucked.

If AOC has any self dignity he would refuse ANY new offer from Arsenal. He has begged through his agent like 3 times for a new deal and when he finally got one he clearly isn't happy with it. Let Conte mould him into a RWB, and he might finally take that next step in his development as a footballer. And after giving Arsenal Cech, Arsenal better play ball on this one. Do the right thing Ox.

In a way i hope the Neymar transfer soesn't happen because if it does, Ousmane Dembele would be on the first plane to Barcelona. Chelsea have to go ALL Out on Nainggolan, or another CM that fits the profile of Tolisso. Cannot sign another defensive minded CM. A true box-to-box CM who shines in the final third. A young prospect I'm a huge fan of is Sergej Milinkovic-Savic from Lazio. Guy has the tools to be any CM he wants to be, and after missing out on Tolisso, he'd be good shout. But I trust Conte's eyes for Midfielders, so really hoping Matic leaves so we can bring in a different CM.

I'm just happy Lukaku's not Chelsea's striker. Onwards and upwards with Morata leading the line. Hope he hits the ground running and repays the faith Antonio Conte has placed in his abilities. A Morata and Batshuayi strikeforce is not horrible. They are very young, and inexperienced in terms of leading the line at the Top Top level, and share many of the same qualities as footballers. But I fully trust both of them to grow over the coming years. They're not as impposing as Drogba/Costa but that comes after forging a reputation and showing up in the big moments. Overall, I'm happy with Chelsea's striking options, (would welcome Llorente as well). Was not a fan of the rumours linking us to Aubameyang and Belotti. Time to buy some CMs, RW, RWB,LWB.

Not only replace buy buy 2x over. The problem this squad had was a lack of quality AND depth. With this sell to buy policy, we're still in the same boat. We already needed 1 more CM had Matic stayed, now this means we need 2 more. As well as 1 more RW/ST. And 2 More Wingbacks.

Anywho, I'm happy the Club has finally ended their striker hunt. Morata will help our final third play become much more fluid, and Hazard will finally have a ST he can combine with since Eto'o. Not going to lie, a Morata and Batshuayi strike-force will be interesting heading into next season. If a top goal-scoring RW is attained, Chelsea should be in business on the attacking front.

That's not greedy at all. Morata is not the 30 goal a season striker, so I really really hope Chelsea bring in a capable RW/SS.. someone of the ilk of Mahrez or better, because Morata/Hazard/Pedro/Willian is simply not enough goal scoring power in the squad. A Sanchez/Griezmann type player that fits that profile is what we need. A RW who has steady end-product in him. Not sure who that is.

You know the criteria. Physical attributes first, technical skills (if at all) later.

Agree. Im very content on missing out on Lukaku & Danilo. Especially the latter. But at the same token, if these are Conte/Emenalo/Marina Top priorities, missing out on two back-to-back is not a good look at all. Anyways, Perreria is a great shout, would be a lot cheaper as well. Would like a cheeky move for Chamberlain as well tbh. Can't think of any other RWB that are available tbh. Edit: and if it's Adama Traore... Scenes.

Yeah i agree. Would loose too much respect I feel. Although, last year Pep did the same with Aguero and Yaya, admittedly it wasn't THIS bad, but he still made it known he didn't want them to start for him, and turned to them at different times to help him.

Hopefully there's a way back between Conte and Costa.

Agree with @Magic Lamps don't think Aubameyang is a Chelsea profile signing. Granted the club is in a a very tough spot, because of Lukaku going to Man-U. And Morata/Belotti costing like £80M... not to mention Conte completely fucking up the Costa situation. It may not be a popular opinion, but Conte really messed up there. Had he just waited until a replacement was attained, then it would have been ok. But now there's no coming back from this, and we might have to pay the ultimate price now.

Charity football club. I have no doubt we will sell Matic to Man United or Juventus, and happily take nothing in return from either club. It's Marina's specialty. Raise funds by selling assets, then proceed to never spend those funds on top players ever. How hasn't Conte lost his shit already? We literally need 5-7 signings and a majority of these are high-profile ones too yet here we stand, in the middle of July having signed the great Willy Cabellero and Rudiger. Amazing work.

Absolutely delighted with the support Conte has received in the transfer window thus far. Such great ambition being shown.

That was a tongue in cheek comment. Did Chelsea get Lukaku? obviously not. Why not, because they sat around trying to penny pinch the deal and waiting for God knows what. They left the door open, only for Man U to come in and say "fuck it", pay the fee and get on with it. If Chelsea had paid the fee and wrapped this shit up for Sandro literally a month ago, Dani Alves and Bonucci wouldn't have left Juve yet. Now that they have left, taking a 3rd starting XI defender from Juventus is going go be difficult.

Yeah, I'd advise them to follow the same steps they did to attain Lukaku.

Wake me up when Marina learns how to attain 1st tier players.

Charity Football Club.

Why can't Chelsea have nice things... Every potential transfer over £32M just never gets completed. FFS this is getting ridiculous.

Vamos! Two down, four more to go. Rudiger, Christensen and Alex-fucking-Sandro! If all 3 are here by September, they should really improve our defense against top opposition.

Well would you look at that..

Willy Cabellero, Alex Sandro, Antonio Rudiger, Bakayoko, James Rodriguez, Alvaro Moratta. That's a solid window in my eyes. Am hoping for 2 things though... *One, that we flip Nemanja Matic into a different CM, not sure who that'd be but one that complements Bakayoko/Kante/Fabregas. *Second, That the Rudiger signing doesn't block Christensen and force him to go on loan. Those two things happen in addition to the attainment of those players, I'll be a very happy CFC fan. What say you?
