Saw suggestions that the title playoff could be between the Serie A Top 4, including Atalanta who are far away from Juventus, Lazio and Inter. If that happens in the Premier League, we would be in it!

Oh dear...

Yeah, unfortunate bad timing...

Feels like every game, league, sport is gonna be suspended at this rate...

Is using other club's interest really a strong justification of a player's potential or talent? It's like us saying we should keep Willian because the likes of Barcelona and Juventus want him!

Confirmed...

Official confirmation now...

EEEEEKKKKKKKK!!

New contract...

Mount: I was too desperate to end my Chelsea goal drought https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/mount-i-was-too-desperate-to-end-my-chelsea-goal-drought/joq42bxrw99115trtvv6wef8e "I have found recently that I have been trying too hard to score and kind of snatching at shots and trying to take shot when off-balance and stuff," Mount said at Stamford Bridge. "When you're so focused on scoring and thinking 'I need to score', you do that. "You start snatching at it. You don’t take your time and focus on your technique enough. Today, I kind of had looked at my game and where I've been going wrong recently and to aim, stay calm and not to try to look for it as much as I have been. "It just happened. I took a touch and turned and finished. It wasn’t me thinking about it too much. I think I've been overthinking it. It hasn't been coming my way and I have been snatching at it. "Today, it was the total opposite. It wasn’t in my head, I just focused on the performance and it came. I do look at games. My dad is very into football and watching my game and where I can improve. He helps me a lot. "He's here for every game and after he'll tell me what I did best and what I didn’t do well and where I need to improve. The last few games has been finishing and end product. "I think I took a shot against Bournemouth from an impossible angle where I was just trying to score a worldy when it wasn’t on. We spoke about that. More just me personally looking at my game, speaking to my dad as well. "I think about games like the Bayern game where I snatched a chance with my left foot where it hasn’t been on. It's something where you don’t have to try so much. It just comes at the right time and it did today. "You listen to every bit of advice coming your way and learn from it. It's good to have my dad there focused on me, watching what I need to do better. It helps me so much coming off the pitch speaking to him in the car. We have done that since I was a little kid and some things never change."

Don't know why you keep on mentioning Drinkwater as a comparison because while we may be paying him 100k per week, no one is sitting here and saying he deserves that amount. In fact, I believe a few here have raged over the club giving him that much money and it was certainly dumb of the board to do so, especially when we are struggling to ship him out! Let's face it, the only reason CHO got the club to cave in on his demands was because of Bayern's interest. It's not because of his potential. CHO had a leverage and he used it, which is fair enough I guess from his perspective, but if it wasn't for Bayern's interest, the club wouldn't have given CHO the contract they gave him, especially for someone who hadn't done much (still hasn't done much but partly due to injuries) at senior level. James for example, someone who people have rated with the most potential out of our academy players and who actually shone on loan last season, reportedly got only 80k per week in his new contract and with bonuses, it would rise to only 100k, which is less than CHO's contract. If only he had a big club come chasing after him!

Bayern Munich 4-1 Chelsea PRE/POST-MATCH DISCUSSION, LIVE CHAT AND ANALYSIS 2019/20 Champions League Round of 16 2nd Leg 8th August, Saturday, 2020 Allianz Arena 20:00 Kick Off (UK time)

You might well be right... 4-0 win incoming!

2nd leg at Bayern in doubt...

Would have tried to persuade him to stay but not cave into his contract demands.

Wonder whether the Euro 2020 will be cancelled at this rate... ...unfortunate bad timing the tournament is scheduled across multiple European countries in the midst of this coronavirus.

Go through history and I'm sure you will find lots of young players who did well at youth level but never went on to fulfill their potential. For our sake, CHO better go on to fulfill his potential because if not, we're gonna look like idiots for the way we caved in on his demands and so do you, since you're confidently talking him up.

That's still an 'IF' situation.

Scenes if CHO doesn't turn out to be as good as people expect...
