Came from The Athletic's David Ornstein. Also said we are still in the frame to sign Ake but haven't made any move. City the keenest one for him.

Looks like the leaked kits are real...

I don't know what their record before that is like but imagine spending over 800 million on players in 5 years and only about 2-3 players have made an impact in the first team. The rest are either struggling to adapt, have been loaned out or sold. That is just total incompetency. Barcelona are basically having the same problem that we did when we had Hazard - the board think everything is fine with Hazard (or Messi in Barcelona's case) around, he alone will win things for us and they will just neglect the squad building completely. Only difference is, Barcelona have taken it to the extreme with this.

It's a pass. Not a shot. He wasn't even running at full speed.

The first two examples definitely can and the one with Willian at 1:03. The rest, okay, he made good runs to create space for others but at the same time, there were also some woeful passes in the final third.

Said it the other day, Pulisic may not be Hazard but he has that Hazard-ness in him.

It's almost criminal how no one picked Pulisic out with a pass when he took up a good position. If only Fabregas was a few years younger and still playing for us. The likes of Pulisic, Werner would have a field day latching onto Fabregas' passes!

Well, who gives a s*** about Bayern?!

Never mind. Inter winning now.

Inter's title challenge about to be ended by Gervinho...

Our last win at West Ham was in 2016/17. Since then, lost 1-0 and drew 0-0 in the league.

That seems more relevant to those who are coming through our academy. I'm sure Ziyech and Werner would know about Lampard's playing career but based on their comments, it seems like Lampard brought that personal touch, the kind of 1-on-1 personal man management needed when trying to persuade those two to join us.

Werner on joining us (the English translation should be 99% right lol)... https://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/fussball/rb-leipzigs-timo-werner-darum-gehe-ich-zu-chelsea-71554078.bild.html

We should just park the bus and see who can out-shit who like Mourinho v Conte in the 2018 FA Cup final.

Are you feeling okay, honey?

If people thought our board was hopeless, just look at Barcelona's. It's so crazy how they clueless they have become.

Well, I didn't include the Bayern one. So...

This United game in the semis should be just a few days before the trip to Anfield in the league. Our last 3 games in all comps will likely be Man United (n), Liverpool (a) and Wolves (h). FUN TIMES AHEAD!

Yeah but just from a player's perspective and I know he has had some injury problems this season, James needs to buck up his ideas fast. I don't expect him to be perfect at his age now but the cameo at Villa and today's showing at Leicester were very underwhelming.

3 losses out of 3 vs Man United this season D1 L4 vs Solskjaer's Man United D2 L4 in last 6 vs Man United That's so comforting going into the semi-final next month...

We got Man United in the semi-final. Man City got Arsenal.
