Their direction was clear to see just by the calibre and style of players they were buying.

Their owners have balls, very big balls. They want to be like Madrid, Barca and overtake United on the European stage. Looks like they will if they carry on like this.

Lauren fucking Blanc. Lauren Fuuckiiing Blanc!!!!!!! 😢😭🤧

If we had done that then you could have bet your bottom dollar he would have become a World beater.

Mate I do exactly the same thing every transfer window. Just don't get your hopes up too high. Thats all I am going to say.

I think it is only fair to try and put yourself in Edens boots. He has the right to win the CL given the talent he was born with. There are very few better than him so why should he waste his one chance at winning the very best trophies football has to offer. It's not like he hasn't stuck around to see if we could develop into a European beast. It hasn't happend. He has shown loyalty in my opinion and yea he has flirted with the idea of leaving for Madrid but he hasn't done what 99% of the Worlds best players do and just left no matter who he pisses off. He has been pretty patient with us as a club. He has actually stuck with us throughout all the circus acts and merry go rounds of managers. It's only natural for him to finally be tempted to leave with no major progression on the horizon and he is at the peak of his career. I mean how would you feel if you saw the Drinkwaters and Zappacostas coming through the door when he could be playing alongside class acts at Madrid or Barca.!

I think what Eden has come out and said is absolutely right. He deserves to play alongside better players. He is saying he loves the club ans his head and heart is here but he will wait to see what players are brought in the summer. He is coming to a crucial stage in his career. He isn't getting any younger and he does need to think about what he will achieve as an individual. It's actually really refreshing to see that he is giving the club that he loves a chance to match his ambition. Let's face it, he is the best player here at Chelsea and the fact that he plays alongside average Joes bar a select few is just not good enough.

I'm afraid what you are saying here isn't true. Just because you had never heard of him before rumours to Chelsea arose, doesn't mean that 'nobody' had ever heard of him. That is a sweeping statement that I just cannot agree with. I had been watching Monaco progress through the CL the season before he came and he was being mentioned alot. Rumours of the elite clubs around Europe looking at him were in full force quite a while before he was specifically linked with us. Just saying.

Bakayoko was known by many before he came here. He had a stand out season for Monaco along with others in that particular side, (Most notibaly in the CL). Yea Morata has flopped this side of Christmas but he did have a pretty decent start scoring goals and linking up well with Hazard and co. Bakayoko has arguably had one decent game for us in the whole season and that was vs Liverpool a few weeks back. The rest of the time he has been pathetic, so for me that has made him a bigger flop.

For me, Bakayoko is the biggest flop of the century, starting with this season.

They will just play soemwhere else.

Typical of our players. Down tools whenever they feel like. It's a fucking disgrace to the badge. Something needs to be done about this.

2-0 Liverpool. Europa it is.

I hadn't to be honest but still, I'd rather him play with us than any other club available. I see it more beneficial not only for his development but for the evolution of our own squad.

OL are playing Stratsbourg on BT sports at the moment and Fekir is by far the best player on the pitch once again. An absolute beast of a player. I'd be gutted if the scouse get him.

My theory of us being in for Sarri is based on one, timing and two, suitability. He ticks all the boxes, looks likely to be leaving Napoli, reportedly doesn't like to get involved with transfers and lastly he gets his teams playing attractive attacking football (based on his time at Napoli). There is nobody better suited for the role in my opinion. Wether the cheifs at The Bridge are thinking along a similar train of though is yet to be seen but in regards to recent reports, there is no smoke withouf fire. Having said all that, if Sarri isn't available then I would prefer Conte to stay another season and see what he can do to bridge the gap between us and a high flying City. I really hope it doesn't come to that. I shudder at the prospect of watching 3 at the back acompanied by lacklusture wingbacks and 80minute substitutions for a whole season again.

And miss out on Sarri? I could not condone this action if it were to happen. I reckon Sarri is off this summer and I want him to be here for the next campaign.

Have to agree with you on this one. The away kits are far nicer than the home kit. Might have to get me the 3rd one.

I just want kits as sexy as what PSG have. It's not alot to ask.

Surely 15 games or so at Chelsea along with training alongside top level talent is far more rewarding than playing and training week in and week out at Vitesse.

Is there a realistic possibility of getting this guy? If so! 👌🤞

I have no idea how to do that kind of shit tbh.

manpe's av is far superior.

🤣 Well now you say it, I am as stubborn as an old goat. Actually I was just looking at funny goat faces on google at work through pure boredem. Then decided it kind of resembled my own facial features.

It's as simple as follows; Every team bar City and Spurs vs Chelsea play with 'the tight spaces'. Morata is shit in 'the tight spaces'. Move on 😒
