I know I’m being negative tonight but damn, some of our players just aren’t good enough. We’ve discussed Ruben a few weeks ago and he’s just a shadow of whatever self he had.

Bournemouth have literally shit themselves.

Credit to Baba there.

Very disappointed with Conor, thought he had more about him but he’s turning with three touches this game.

What a mistake.. do not back this signing at all.

Love the guy, personality and his demeanour is on point. Pray our board does not mess this up. Interview up on Chelsea YouTube that sums him up, in my opinion.

I have no idea the formation we play with Kai and Haaland on the pitch. Considering I always felt Hudson O was always more effective on the left wing, where Timo occupies.

Does that include an additional loan? Ie. Roman loan > Chelsea > agents. We already owe Roman a huge amount don’t we?

Honestly I find the whole youngsters exodus so ridiculous, when pathing to the first team has never been more viable and potential, we have some of our talent go elsewhere. Yet years gone by we’ve had youngsters stick around on the ‘hope’ of getting a chance. We have more academy players in the first team squad and picture now than ever before. Cannot wait to see some of them tumble down the leagues and end up giving an interview on talk sport about how they just ‘knew’ they wouldn’t get a chance at Chelsea blah blah blah. Some of us can take real joy in seeing Mason Mount in a Chelsea shirt lifting the CL trophy. It’s a shame some of our young crop don’t have the same stomach.

I still cannot believe they did that.

So many false starts and such a talent wasted.

Reports this morning that Tammy is on his way to Arsenal for a loan with £40m buy clause - Dailymail, so take from that what you will...

That will be very interesting, considering I do not rate Ole in terms of being able to bring such a disciplined role forward.

We could do far worse than Ings, not that I encourage that purchase, but it wouldn't be the worst signing to get in a proven PL goal scorer for a low fee on a year left for his contract.

£80m is insanity. I’d totally accept us paying £60m, a little over Chilwell money for him, and that is literally because he is a blue 😂

You wouldn't expect someone like Haaland who looks to be obsessed with being at peak physical condition would sacrifice any kind of preseason training to force a move. I still think its possible we sign him, I would just hate the club to draw it out, the good thing with Dortmund is they set the fee, pay it or don't, we saw that with Sancho last year. The stumbling block is and was always going to be his father and agent. Maybe I'm just clinging onto the Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas summer, we literally had our business wrapped up so so so early then, it was bliss.

Quite mad how youngsters are now looking to leave considering we have more academy players in the team/squad now than ever before. Seems pay related from the outside going by that logic, but who knows.

Grealish improves any team, I would love to have him at Chelsea, if we didn't already have occupation on the left.

Are Bild reliable?

Vlahovic

According to UK papers, we are to test Dortmund's resolve with €175m. Make of that what you will.

Goes without saying but an attribute we’ve missed is the aggression and will to win, it extends all the way to when a teammate gets shoved or missing a chance, we miss it. ahh Diego… Diego…

Each to their own. We’d have been close, United as well, especially if they tie up the deals they are linked with. It was a weak league to say the least.

Downgrade, IMO.
