Isn't it in a High Court observation that they are close? Anyway, as fans we have to consider the moral questions than see the lawyer's version in all this.

Inshallah Alonso

as opposed to doing nothing?

Yeah. Blood on everyone's hands but this is aa disturbing new level to digest. Thanks for everything but sell please.

I am disturbed that the club is owned by him after this week's events. Definitely want the club sold.

Bloomberg had a report about a number of interested bidders from USA

Wonder what will happen for the next 3 months. Surely there's a plan B to Alonso?

Chelsea games are mostly against bottom teams from here.

We haven't been comfortably ahead of Liverpool in years tbh. We are always a tough opponent but Liverpool have been a machine racking up 90+ points in multiple seasons. We haven't done that since Conte.

It should have been him leading the line all of last month

Six weeks of trying to shoehorn Lukaku into the setup has really messed up preparations for the CL knockouts. Just don't have the confidence from last year.

Near perfect. I'll take it

Cesar Azpilicueta: "I expected the Palmeiras players to come around the penalty taker. I already told Kai he was going to shoot. I just tried to release the pressure from him, be more calm. With three minutes to go, it's an important moment. It worked!"

[The Athletic] Chelsea’s agreed buyback clause does not kick in until 2023 for Livramento. Buyback clause is set at £50m although he would actually cost Chelsea around £38m as they are in line to receive a share of the profit from his next move. https://theathletic.com/2856551/2021/09/29/have-Chelsea-become-southamptons-ideal-feeder-club/

Livramento buyback clause 2023 - 38mil

But Chelsea have put in some groundwork to perhaps bring Dembele to the club later in the year, although it will still take at least one of the forward group to leave to make room for him. This is what they published. Not a lot of certainty there

Come on. Would take Alonso anyday. I agree cover would have been nice but not at the range of Targett. He's Villa's Alonso

Targett is fairly competent? Lol -

he shouldn't be near a top club again

United might go for Dembele now?

Would rather non-league than Spurs

Has 1 red card in club career.
