Funnily enough, Chilwell's Aerial Won % is higher than Alonso's in the Premier League last season - 59.5% compared to 57.5% And in terms of the number of Aerial Won, Alonso was only the 7th highest in the team while Chilwell was the 4th highest at Leicester.

5 signings confirmed. Now, we just have to wait 57 more years before THAT one gets done, if it'll be done...

https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2020/08/28/thiago-silva-moves-from-paris-to-london Contrary to earlier reports, the official announcement said the club have the option to extend Silva's contract by another year as opposed to both parties being able to do so.

Thiago Silva officially announced. Player thread here...

Deal officially announced... https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2020/08/28/thiago-silva-moves-from-paris-to-london

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/aug/27/chelsea-sign-thiago-silva-on-free-transfer According to the Guardian, the Havertz could be completed before the end of the week...

So it seems like we'll announce Silva tomorrow and then Havertz in 2045...

LOL

LMAO

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/08/27/chelsea-sign-thiago-silva-one-year-contract-option-second-season/ - Announcement imminent - 1-year contract with option for another year. Can be exercised by either party at the end of the season. - There have been suggestions Silva will be made captain but that won't be the case. - Will travel to London on Friday to begin a 14-day period of isolation before joining up with the team.

Came across this... People have been so triggered by our spending.

But that's not a foolproof approach? Standard procedure in most/many countries is 14-day quarantine and with at least 2 tests during the period.

You could say both? This summer is probably the first time since 2014 that we have acted fast on transfers, which is great. Also specifically on Havertz, we've been reading/hearing the "close to signing" update for what seems like ages now. Not that I am making a fuss, mind, and that comment was a tongue-in-cheek too. Hardly the first time I've posted that.

Not wrong though, am I?

Getting Closer FC. 🙄

Funnily enough, Chilwell passes backward less than Alonso and forward more than Alonso. The 2019/20 Premier League Distribution Comparison below... vs

Yeah right...

Looks like our interest in Sarr was already there back in 2017...

It was moved to January 2022. https://www.bbc.com/sport/africa/53239849

There's already been a number of cases reported at other clubs, not just ours - Sheffield United, Liverpool etc. And latest I saw earlier was Pogba and Ndombele have tested positive for the virus and are in quarantine. Don't even know why people went and travel anyway, knowing the risk and knowing the virus could be contracted at any point.
