Strike

There was Chalobah and RLC last season. There was no cover for Moses.

I am lost for words. Only depth added is Zappacosta.

Easy there, friend

This is a long way to come back from but at this moment, I hope it happens. I don't know why the club is allergic to a good strike force. Arsenal have Lacazette Giroud Welbeck Liverpool have Firmino Sturridge Solanke Ings (injured) United have Lukaku Rashford Zlatan Martial City have two quality strikers in Aguero Jesus Spurs now have Kane Son Llorente Morata, Batshuayi in comparison is a sham.

I was urging patience for months. I hold my hand up. The board fucked up this window.

Rafinha is a cracking wingback but I doubt Bayern will sell

Llorente to Spurs Oxlade to Liverpool Renato to Swansea Aurier to Spurs Cedric - Rejected Rafinha - Rejected Drinkwater - Rejected Barkley - Rejected Candreva - Rejected Just wow.

I hope there is a surprise or two today. Llorente Barkley and Drinkwater doesn't inspire confidence

He can hold the ball in tight situations, something Chelsea will need in games against tougher opposition.

Even before Mourinho, Chelsea were a continental team. I am okay with a spine without English players. Times have changed and signing good English players is tough now. Look at our pursuits of Shaw, Stones who were young prospects, not even established players.

He's got a very good burst of speed as well. Gives Conte options - Kante- Sergi or Kante- Bakayoko or Kante- Bakayoko - Cesc or Kante- Bakayoko - Sergi Would be a really solid set of midfield options for the season

Yes, oddly I think this will work in Chelsea's favour Courtois Rudiger Luiz Christensen Moses Azpilicueta Kante Alonso Pedro Morata Willian and a bench of inexperienced newbs.

David Luiz should be Club Captain

I cant believe the club have let go of Matic , Chalobah and RLC without a central midfielder coming in. We need a midfielder for the Spurs game now

Do Chelsea have enough players to fill up the bench?

Everybody with a mouth has written Chelsea off this season. The hope is we repeat shades of last year when we quietly went about racking up the wins. Burnley have lost a first choice central defender and a striker and are awful away from home. Chelsea should win, should sign a couple of wingbacks and all will be well again.

Ashley Cole 2.0

He also mentioned how Chelsea rested Hazard, Costa and still won the FA Cup Semifinal

Fabinho

Luiz should stay away from midfield but there are no options at the moment

Courtois Rudiger Azpi Cahill Moses Luiz Kante Alonso Fabregas Morata Batshuayi

The world has gone mad

Not if they sign Sigurdsson

Worried if this is the 'strong' Chelsea team

No, we will meet the quota. Since the club is not registering 25 players, they don't need to have 8 home grown players in the squad Cahill Moses Fabregas are the only Home grown players at the moment among 15 senior players (Christensen is U-21). The club can add five more non-homegrown players and still submit a 20-man Premier League squad. This is my understanding anyway
