I don’t care about the result but can Maresca fix this performance in the 2nd half ? We are somehow level

Yeah. Think we need to manage Caicedo and bring in Santos or Essugo

Can we stop the Jackson transfer now ?

Wow a second reprieve after Palace

Don’t have the money for Simons. Simple as that

Has interesting attributes and he has stood out when playing for Leicester. But absolutely zero evidence he's Chelsea ready - even for a squad role.

Keeping Jackson is a far better option than having Buonanotte. Felix/Nkunku played Conference League. We will now have tough games every 3 days for long stretches in the season.

More evidence these owners are not a serious operation. Frustrating when we got 7/8 top quality players in the starting XI but have now wasted years without rounding off a strong core

They have a strong first choice XI to be able to do that.

Should keep Jackson in that case as backup striker and use JP as attacking mid. He is good in that role too

Actually just keeping JP as 10 and Jackson as the second striker is the best option right now

Villa interest in Paqueta is intriguing Hopefully Jackson and Paqueta will mean they let Rogers leave

Actually think Arsenal are the team to beat this year.

Wow. Close to Delap+Pedro outlay We have navigated the striker market to a close to ideal outcome imo. Two Premier League ready strikers bought in

Think the club did everything in their power to sign Huijsen and would have done if it was anyone but Real Madrid at the table Frustrating that a potentially 10/10 summer is affected by our winger signings

Just need DidierForever to log online and say Chelsea is going to win the Champions League

Napoli Benfica Barcelona Bayern Munich. We have all four of the knockout games from 2012

Spurs have got away with an easy draw too - Dortmund (h), PSG (a), Villarreal (h), Frankfurt (a), Slavia Prague (h), Bodø/Glimt (a), Copenhagen (h), Monaco (a)

Arsenal got a far easier draw from Pot 2. Liverpool and City have fairly easy draws as well

Looks difficult on paper but gap between English teams and other leagues is wider now imo

not too worried about drawing big teams in the expanded format. Bayern is a good test

fwiw I think Garnacho will be a pleasant surprise. He seems to really want this to work out

Thomas Frank tried to get Morgan Gibbs-White and Eze. Might end up with Simons. Hate to see Spurs go for good pick-ups.

It is quite likely. 35m for Nkunku covers Garnacho fee. Do we have funds for Xavi now ?

It is nothing like Cucu, Neto or Caicedo deals. All 3 had a serious body of work in the Premier League before they were signed. We are also in a far more settled version of our squad building right now and it was the wrong move to go for a young project winger for that money
