SKY has poured cold water on the Chelsea-Huijsen links saying the race is still open, Chelsea not particularly ahead.

Sign Huijsen and one more CB with experience since the entire backline can go - Fofana/Badiashile/Chalobah

So many good GKs we passed up on because this board was convinced of its scouting. Petrovic, Sanchez, Jorgensen - how can you have 3 attempts and not land anyone remotely solid? Especially when Costa, Marmadashvili, Raya etc were on the market. I hope they send Penders on loan to Strasbourg and sign a good GK finally.

Rare occasion Eghbali/Boehly connections may actually be useful Many agents have done a number of them and got them to do completely unnecessary deals. Recent report showed Chelsea paid 60m in agent fees, comfortably higher than any other club in the last few years. Have fuck all to show for it

Caicedo available

Hold on now. Sensible 2 mins

Bang! We are getting 3 points here

The ref stopping play at a Chelsea advantage ffs

I thought there was a 32-game cutoff for the yellow card suspensions to apply? Hoping the comms team got this wrong

Caicedo to miss Everton and Liverpool games

3 points away from 5th. Unbelievable they're on the beach

Yeah. This is not just a case of players not being good enough. This is also an unhappy dressing room

Don't know about Jesus Rodriguez but other 3 are good youngsters. Also, would love Morgan Rogers. Should have swapped Maatsen for Rogers last summer instead of buying a total unknown in Omari Kellyman. He'd go straight into the XI here as one of the attacking mids.

Crazy, we seem to be out of the conversation altogether for the very top targets : Gyokeres, Sesko, Isak We are predictably fighting for more youngsters Rutter, Delap, won't be surprised if Samu Omorodion is still on their lists. I think the boards needs to break its youngsters-only rule and look at the market for senior players (Ollie Watkins, ) who would be a good pickup at this point and complement the younger legs around him.

We should try and grab Huijsen since his agents are actively shopping him right now. Apart from him in this list, a physical tank at the back would be nice. Just get a Rudiger/Saliba/Gabriel type CB - the team is so shaky at the back. If we can't get any of the main targets, last resort can be Guehi

Jackson strolling off the pitch with the score at 2-2

Weakened the squad in January letting Felix Carney Veiga etc go and the only signing Amougou isn't even in the squad today

We deserve this and to be out of the CL running. Maresca prioritizing Conference league over the game vs Brentford was baffling. Made odd choices today too

2-0 Hilarious. Ipswich doing the double on us on their way down

Just saw they're not even playing Delap

Tuning out. Could do a lot of other things with my Sunday than watch this lot pass side-to-side.

Lol the defending. Had one guy to cover.

Looks like it will be a Premier League move. Madrid are not triggering the release clause this summer

Seems like Delap is also going off the table. Something like Gyokeres to Arsenal, Delap to Man U, Isak to Liverpool and Jonathan David to Chelsea could happen
