You said Leipzig won't sell Werner in January because they are in the title race. I doubt Dortmund will sell Sancho next month either when they are also in the title race, unless someone pays an obscene amount of money for him. If we're talking about the transfer fee and wages, then sure, Sancho is replacing Hazard but if we're talking about the squad building, positions etc, then it becomes less clear cut.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/12/04/chelsea-discover-january-transfer-ban-fate-thursday/ Will apparently find out whether we can buy in January today.

First team played, just not the whole match. https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2019/05/16/report--new-england-revolution-v-chelsea It's negligence on Sarri's - and his team - part to not manage his situation better.

The timing of that match wasn't great, that I agree but with Loftus-Cheek, there needs to be special care for him given his back and arguably fitness issues. Playing him on a less-than-ideal pitch condition was daft.

F****** SARRI FOR PLAYING HIM IN THAT FRIENDLY MATCH!!!

Not much rest for this one. It's a fucking early kick off!!

Would be nice if we can beat them and not just rely on other teams to do so. That would make our Top 4 job a bit easier!

We will spend for sure but whether we will spend 100 million+ on a single player is a different matter. We all know that we need to improve other areas in the squad as well and each position is gonna cost a lot as well. Bombing, I don't know, half of our transfer budget on one player hardly screams wise spending. Plus, I also don't really want the team to become too pro-youth. A bit more experience players - to replace the outgoing ones - to complement out current youth lot would be nice.

Thank god they are shit against the smaller teams!

How did Spurs play? I read that they were terrible and United turned up (against their former hated manager no less ).

That was essentially a 2-1 thrashing. Did everything but scored 4, 5, 6 goals, especially in the second half.

And the man who everyone wanted to replace him at RB had another shocker for the goal. Go figure...

As convincing as Player X following Player Y on Instagram? 🤔

I can't remember either but generic, new contract deals etc aren't as big/exclusive as transfer targets.

What are the other exclusive examples he got right? Reporting what has been covered elsewhere first doesn't count. I'm sure he's on the club's targets list but whether we actually go for him is another question. The reasons mentioned in the article are rather obvious and have been mentioned by like most Chelsea fans.

Same fella who claimed Golovin to Chelsea was a done deal, only for Golovin to end up going to Monaco.

I'm kinda inclined to agree with you but I wouldn't be so dismissive of United. They are at Old Trafford and Solskjaer has a decent record against the Big 6 in all competitions (have lost only twice in like 10 games or something and 1 of them was to City). Spurs have had easy games so far (and still contrived to concede 2 goals in each of them) and will be tested differently tonight.

You're talking about form and yet you're making early conclusions about England's Euro squad in December?
