The media now need something for the clicks and views now that the Euros is over.

Silva’s game time also probably needs to be managed given his age, Silva and Christensen also had some injuries last season and let’s not forget that Christensen’s and Rudiger’s contracts are yet to be sorted out.

Why are you so worked up over Messi? 🤣

It feels like we can't buy before selling and we can't sell before buying.

#ArtetaOUT was trending on Twitter.

The tricky thing with Gallagher is whether Tuchel would trust him enough to use him extensively throughout the season or will he just be another backup like Gilmour was last season. The fact that Tuchel gave the OK to send Gilmour on loan to get more playing time is already somewhat telling. If Gallagher is just gonna be backup, then there's gonna be a problem because Tuchel will then just rotate between Kante, Kovacic and Jorginho and that's not gonna be enough for the entire season.

Close to having both James siblings at the club...

The friendly is taking place on Saturday apparently.

https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2021/07/12/ziyech--mendy-and-pulisic-among-those-Chelsea-players-returning- Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea squad were boosted by the return to pre-season training of many senior players today, including Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech and Edouard Mendy. The trio joined Callum Hudson-Odoi, Tammy Abraham, Marcos Alonso and Tino Anjorin who all reported back on Friday, as the pre-season work continued at Cobham. Kepa Arrizabalaga was another back in action today. There were 28 players involved at our Surrey training base today, with returning loanees such as Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Danny Drinkwater, Davide Zappacosta and Conor Gallagher among those pictured in action. Malang Sarr, who joined from Nice last summer and spent the season on loan at Porto, was involved with the group, as were youngsters Marc Guehi, Trevoh Chalobah and Armando Broja following impressive loan spells away from Stamford Bridge last season.

FIRST PRE-SEASON VIDEO KLAXON!

I want to go to an alternate timeline where we get Haaland but he also struggles to score and I want to then see what do the fans say about it...

Bild are suddenly a source of Chelsea...

Obviously, most of them are the returning loanees but Tuchel got to train with 28 players today, according to The Athletic's Simon Johnson.

Yup.

Yeah, I did see that tweet yesterday and that's why I was like... But never mind, ignore it. 🤣

I meant the guy behind CHO at around 0.08. Anyway, I just recognized who that is - Miazga.

Who is that fella behind CHO? Is that a player or one of the coaching staff? lol

The translation of the video caption says he'll be back in Dortmund on Tuesday? EDIT: Never mind...

When I read this article earlier, I was hoping to see some inside info but instead, it felt as though Simon Johnson just went around Chelsea forums and summarized what the fans have been discussing over the past few weeks, including here, into a nothing article. Also, I disagree slightly with what he said in that second last paragraph. Yes, we know Roman has the money and all that but there's a difference between splashing out £50-60 million on one player compared to say £150 million on one, even more so while we're still in this pandemic and clubs are still feeling the effect on finances. Worth remembering that we only managed to spend over 200 million last summer because we had the Hazard + Morata money. We don't have such money this time.
