If Giroud is off, does that mean we have gotten someone...?

It's only on loan. He hasn't been great but could at least give us options till the summer and then we go for the big targets.

Isn't that obvious by now?

Lampard is too smart to give anything away.

Not disagreeing or anything, just want proof because I haven't seen him explicitly say what you claimed. Of course it may not work out the same way again but if you're worried about City getting him especially if we don't have CL football, think Jorginho and maybe even Kante.

When did Chilwell publicly say he wants to play for Guardiola?

Kane out till April...

Said it before, Sarri should be held accountable for playing Loftus-Cheek in that match, especially knowing his fitness/injury/back problems. About the game, sure, it was for a good cause but the timing was really poor. And if we're talking strictly about maintaining match fitness, we could have easily arranged a friendly with some other team back home.

Loftus-Cheek’s calf muscles halved in size after achilles tear, his return isn’t imminent but he still has potential to be ‘like Hazard’ https://theathletic.com/1516833/2020/01/08/loftus-cheek-chelsea-injury-latest/

Another day, another played linked...

Don't bother with it. Matt Law has shut it down. Think Sky Sports "invented" that rumor to get bets for their SkyBet.

Surprised we haven't been linked with him!

So, Sky Sports making BS up, huh?
