- Show clear progression (duh!) - Close the gap on the top two - No more fucking about for a Top 4 finish. Must finish in it comfortably! - Win at least one of the domestic trophies - This one would depend on our luck but get past the UCL Round of 16 at least

This...

Cheap or not, I don't think we can afford to get it wrong with our next keeper. We wouldn't want to be in another situation where we are forced to chop and change the keeper again. If a better one costs more, just go for it. The keeper is one position we can't afford to be stingy with it.

Doubt it. We'll need to sell to also balance the books.

LMAO

LOL No Emerson to Inter then...

We have some spare players, West Ham...

Ironic that you said "no disrespect to Azpilicueta" and then proceeded to disrespect him by saying he should be replaced as captain by our latest new shiny toy... The need for Silva to take the armband is silly and overrated anyway. We had the likes of Terry, Lampard, Drogba, Cech etc all in the past and they didn't even need the armband to lead the team.

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...
