Higuain is having an absolute stinker against SPAL. Getting booed by the Milan fans as well.

W 1-0 Chelsea W 2-1 Man City L 0-1 Cardiff Leicester...

Yes...relegate ourselves to the Conference etc!

You know, it's really not the end of the world if Hazard leaves... Even if he doesn't leave for Madrid, he'll be gone one day. Are people still gonna be like 'WHAT THE HELL ARE WE GONNA DO WITHOUT HAZARD?!' in 3-4 years time?

But will probably outscore Giroud anyway.

Confirmed.

Do we really have anything to lose if we sign Higuain on a six-month loan deal? As you said, impossible to find a proper quality striker in January.

A club official saying negotiations is ongoing is unusual? 🤔

Here comes a random mid-season transfer buy...

But facts are facts...

We might be shopping for a Jorginho back up in January...

This explains Hazard's celebration with Fabregas at Watford the other day...

If this is true, then oh dear!

It's all ifs and buts but if we hadn't lost those dumb games to Wolves and Leicester, we would actually be above City (and Spurs) right now, which would have been quite something. And not saying we're great all of a sudden because we aren't, but only Liverpool (18), Spurs and West Ham (both 15) have picked up more points than us in the last six league games...

If we sign Higuain on a six-month loan deal, then I don't really see what we've got to lose. Can't be any worse than we've got. The only concern if anything, is needing him to adapt to the Premier League ASAP. Batshuayi is crap. Let's not pretend that he's any better or great all of a sudden. The fact that Valencia are reportedly looking to terminate his loan deal says a lot. Do we really want to sign Callum Wilson or someone as average as him? Because you know if we do that, then the board will just pat themselves on the back and think that's good enough for us moving forward and that we won't need to buy any other (aka better) striker.

BOR-THE-FUCKING-ING...

Saw that on The Mirror and it was based on the bookies, which isn't the most reliable of indicators, rather than any reports in Germany etc.

Let's be fair here for a minute - Pulisic was contributing those numbers in his teens. If you expected him to produce 20 goals and 20 assists per season at 17-19 years old, then you must be crazy. Not everyone is Mbappe in their teens! I don't know whether you watch him regularly but based on what I've seen, Pulisic definitely has the talent and potential to be one of the best in the future. It's not right to be judging him solely on goals/assists and/or brushing him side because of the 'American hype' factor. If given the choice, I don't think he would want all this spotlight on him, certainly not when he's not the finished article just yet. Also, goals are goals and assists are assists. If you're gonna start be picky about how/when/where they come, then you should start doing that for everyone. And many of Pulisic's assists have come against weak CL and DFB Pokal sides? 16 of his 24 assists for Dortmund have come in the Bundesliga while he's got only 4 in the DFB Pokal and 4 in the Champions League. How is that "many of his assists have come against weak CL qualifying and DFB Pokal sides"?

He turns 30 in March and we all know where this club stands on players aged 30 or higher...
