" Next step is for Chelsea to pay Monaco more than anybody else for the midfielder " No serious journalist would write such a sentence.

Yeah, but Costa has already tried to escape from Chelsea like 3 times. I would rather have a striker who likes to play here. Also, I wouldn't mind if our new striker wasn't a constant red card-threat.

He hasn't signed a new contract with Schalke, has he? He would be a good signing on a free transfer. Him and Alonso would be nice ti have.

I really don't like these "new Messi", "new Pelé" kind of comparisons, but damn, he is so much like Titi Henry.. Mbappe is shorter, but his style of play, his goals from the wing remind me on Henry.. I think one more year at Monaco would be benefitial for this kid. It's his breakthrough season, he just turned 18, maybe he shouldn't go to Real Madrid or Bayern already, especially for big money, which could be extra pressure on his shoulders. Monaco will be playing in the Champions League next season for sure, they will complete great teams ins France(PSG, Lyon, Marseille, Nice).. A couple of matches there would be nice from him. At a top club he could find himself on the bench in a minute, just like Martial. His form dropped, MU signed Ibrahimovic, now he has to make an impact as a winger, which is not his natural position.

I think he is a great striker, among the best ones in the world, but.. You must admit this comment is demagogic. If we didn't have Costa we had another top striker who would score goals. Following this logic, without Courtois we would have hundreds of goals conceded beacuse no one would stopped the shots on goal.

But.. We won the league with Oscar and Fábregas in the starting eleven too.

Great news. I rate him very high. He was amazing for Watford at the age of 17-18. Loaning him out for different teams every six months were not a good decision.. He had some tough years but every time he plays for Chelsea he looks calm, strong and confident. I would not be worried if he started against City or United, he looks good. We need to extend his contract..

I love Tolisso a lot, he is amazing, but I'm not sure if he'd fit into this team. He attacks a lot but that's not what we need. Moses, Alonso and the 3 attackers are all out attack, so Kanté and the other central midfielder must stay back and defend, that's why Matic have played a lot instead of Fábregas. Fábregas defends quite well but we can see this 3-4-3 doesn't suit him, he has played way better at Arsenal, at Barcelona and at Chelsea under his first season. If Tolisso signed for Chelsea we had to keep him in cages because he couldn't attack that much.

I will

Neymar had an outstanding game today but it's not like he was unstoppable. He has 8 goals in that garbage leage this season, even though he plays against sides like Granada, Leganes, Osasuna and Alaves.

I agree, but still he could show respect towards the club and his teammates. 3 years ago he was pretty much released from Barcelona. They had Neymar and Messi and purchased Suárez, so Sánchez became unneeded. Back then, Arsenal trusted in his quality and payed good money for him. Top European clubs like Bayern, City, or Juventus were not really interested in him, Arsenal was the club who wanted him very much. Arsenal don't pay 42 million euros for players all the time like City, it was a big step for them. Alexis must be thankful for Wenger for trusting him, he handed him the chance to show his quality after the Barcelona spell.

The question is: do we need a player like him? Okay, each teammates of him are worse player than him and they have been playing like shit, but this is not likeable behaviour. At least he could act like he cares. It's a tough time for Wenger and the supporters, watching your biggest star laughing on the bench every game must be a slap.

PSG doing quite well in the Champions League, so Ligue 1 is a stronger league than the PL? I think you have to look at 20 teams, not only 2-3. In the Premier League even the worst teams have great players and each team is dangerous. In Italy, the bottom 4-5 teams are a joke, also in Spain. You can't compare Crotone or Granada to Swansea.

Agree. Van Persie could have joined any top side in Europe but he only wanted MU so he forced it through. If we want to sign Sanchez and he wants to sign for us it can happen.

Arsenal sold many players to their rivals.. Van Persie, Adebayor, Clichy, Yolo Touré, Nasri, Sagna.. They are not like Spurs.

They got 50 million for Martial so Bernando is not gonna be cheaper. 60-70.

Yes, that's what i meant

25 million? He was purchased for 1.5 million a month ago.. I can see he played 21 matches in Uruguay and scored 4 goals.. I hardly doubt anyone will pay even ten million for him.

Agree, it's tough, especially for defenders. Aké had to work a lot to became a starter at Watford but we loaned him out elsewhere next season. At Bournemouth, it took months for him to became a starter then we recalled him.

He seems to be an upper Championship player to me. Might be good enough for some PL-teams, but not good enough for Chelsea. Cahill, Luiz, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Zouma and Aké are much better than him.

I like Lukaku, Lacazette and Icardi a lot but if Costa departs I would go for this guy for sure.. He is so much like Diego.. World class, no doubt.

Why would Man U have option for Bernardo Silva? He never played for them.

Reportedly they were not fit, yes. I highly doubt that Falcao was injured all season then started playing like this in August.

He got like 200 minutes of playing time in his first 2-3 months at Chelsea then none. It's hard to say he failed here, just like Pato. They didn't get a chance to show their values.

Then why does Conte ignore Fábregas? It looks like he prefers a strong destroyer next to Kanté. Matic is very good but he is quite poor with the ball, not a good header and doesn't have good shots. I think Fabinho or Nzonzi can offer us what Matic can but they are better in a few areas. I think Matic is just like Pedro/Willian: decent players, but there are others who would fit in better to our team. We don't need many new players next season but a good DM and a RW upgrade would be great.
