It's among the minority but Zola agrees with ya and some others, @Tomo. 😉

This doesn't really make sense...

"Adding to this the fact that the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Ivan Perisic, and Arturo Vidal are currently set to stay on at the club, and the ownership is still displeased with the financial situation at the club even after Hakimi’s sale." The irony of Inter's finances being fucked up because of Conte's expensive has-beens...

Not sure why some Chelsea fans seem insistent on playing down what Lampard did at Derby. When he got the job there, the club had to cut costs, get rid of senior players and had to get younger players into the squad. Yes, he may have lost the Championship play-off final but at least he maintained that consistent 6th place-finish despite all the changes that happened as well as it being his first job and by the way, Derby might have also finished 6th in the season before Lampard but they didn't reach the play-off final. Also, if you and some others want to say what Lampard did at Derby was nothing just because he finished 6th with them again, then I guess by the same token, it should be considered a decent feat now considering Derby have gotten so much worse ever since he left and only escaped relegation by the skin of their teeth last season.

Are those fully vaccinated exempted?

Now that @Superblue_1986 mentioned Varane, think Lukaku will have to quarantine too.

Aren't you in England? 😛 I know Italy are in UK's red list. Think Spain are in it too? Am sure the club would like to get it done ASAP but the thing is, how many days does he have to quarantine if he has to?

FORTY-TWO!!!

Am assuming Lukaku will have to go through the quarantine process when he comes over to England? Or is there any exemption going on? @Tomo @Superblue_1986

Just going with Nikki's post.

JFC! Are we really gonna sell BOTH Alonso and Emerson and not buy a LB?

It's always about the goals and assists count with you, isn't it? 🙄

At least there's someone else now that the media will focus on. 🙃

Tuchel: "We wanted to see Baka to know what he was capable of."

Tuchel on getting a top class ST: "With the exit of Olivier Giroud, we could use a player who plays with their back to goal and it means we can add this direct style of play. It's the sort of profile we don't have in the squad that can be useful. But not for any cost and not panic. Whatever happens, we will be competitive and we have trust in our guys. We have young players in the offensive part of the game that we demand improve. We are relaxed and aware of our situation at the same time."

Saw someone mention that we create more chances than Inter and decided to check the stats for some inkling on things. Different league and all but ironically, Inter's xG was higher than ours last season - 74.8 v 64. That Inter xG was also higher than Man City and Liverpool. And all that despite Inter having less shots than us, City and Liverpool.

Seems like there'll be one this weekend...

WHERE IS @Stingray!?

The irony of this football club.

Villarreal not having a good pre-season and there's also this...
