Not happening. I find it likely that the club will sign a decent stop-gap keeper instead for this season.

Even as free agent, his signing doesn't inspire confidence.

Hilario - Schwarzer - Cech - Begovic - Willy - Rob Green

Hoping that the club rejected Barcelona's bid for Willian because they are setting up the exchange with United for Martial

Perfect as second choice. I feel that after missing out on Allison, Chelsea should sign a decent keeper like Schmeichel, Donarumma, Sommer, Cillessen and on top of that sign Hart to give competition and add to the HG numbers we have.

Hardly comparable. This guy is loads better technically.

I would give away Willian too. I can't believe that United and Barcelona are interested in him (at 50-60m that too). Even if he has 1-2 good seasons, he's already 30 and even at his best in the last few years, he has never been able to sustain it for an entire season.

I feel like we have an idealist leading us

Agree with above. At that money we should pull out and invest in the best keeper available. I would even look to buy Keylor Navas from Real since he will be losing his spot. Or Smeichel would do too.

But with just 5 HG players, Chelsea can name only a 22-man squad

Keylor Navas

Only thinking about the Home Grown quota. This means we are down to Moses, Danny (likely to be sold), Barkley, Fabregas, Loftus Cheek and Christensen. Think the club must sign a Home Grown player if both Danny and Gary are leaving. Wilfried Zaha? I can't think of anyone else who would improve the quality of the squad.

Cant believe Chelsea could even think of resting Ngolo now. Great start to the window.

First words are important. I can't remember a manager going for the word 'Fun' ever in a first interview. Ancelotti, Mourinho, Conte all tried but we were practical under them in varying degrees

I remember he tracked Aguero running back once and somehow with his outstretched boot forced a corner and everyone was going on about the next Thuram

If we spend it will be because Eden and Tibo leave If they stay I don't see Chelsea spending a lot relative to other clubs like Liverpool, United and City

If Chelsea is signing any Real Madrid player it has to be Isco. Not Bale or Asensio,

He hasn't shut the door yet. I am hopeful that a conversation with Sarri and the signing of Jorginho and couple of others will convince him to stay on. Even if he moves, I have no qualms. He gave six of his best years to Chelsea. I never watched Zola live so for me, Eden was the most talented footballer in a Chelsea shirt. He carried the team to two league titles and an FA Cup and countless memories. The best maybe the goal against Arsenal, a fantastic run shaking off defenders at will. He will leave as a legend and nothing less.

and whether we will have more options in attack than just the starting 11. With Jorginho Kante RLC Barkley Fabregas, there are several midfielders to choose from and with Hazard Willian Pedro Morata Giroud Bats + new signings to come. We could create a really good squad with 17-18 good players to choose from rather than 12-13 a couple of years ago

Could turn out to be a great career move for him too

And how glad we are for that. I remember Chelsea faced City two weeks later and Robinho scored from a freekick early. Bonkers. and then Carvalho scores from a setpiece and Anelka and Lampard put them to bed.

Golovin-Kante-RLC in a 4-3-3

With my blue tinted lens, I thought he was having a good game until that moment. Why Willy, Why?

Definitely should be kept next season.
