Well I think the squad numbers only go up to 99

Chelsea might trigger a buyback clause to re-sign Belgium midfielder Diego Moreira, 21, from sister club Strasbourg. (TBR Football) What is this love affair with MF's, when we need defenders and keeper.

Chelsea are seen as the frontrunners to sign 23-year-old England midfielder Morgan Rogers from Premier League rivals Aston Villa. (Caught Offsid

Fucking hell who's fit?

And come Saturday the scousers will probably have the GK we should have been in for, Marmadashvili I'm sure he would have prefered to come here as 1st choice keeper instead of a bench warmer at scouseland.

Top of the list for me Iriola

I really don't care anymore, this fucking club owners have drained me. Instead of improving this season we've regressed, I can't believe that the have refused to bring at least one top quality CB and a decent GK. If we lose tonight then I really hope it's the end for Maresca if not then certainly I hope Saturday

Fuck it missed no matter what link I try they all just keep freezing.

Chelsea opted against rivalling Manchester City for Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, 26, in the summer in order to keep the path clear to move for AC Milan's France stopper Mike Maignan, 30, in the future. (Teamtalk), external What a fucking joke! I'm still livid that we didn't go in for Mamardashvili Fucking Maignan, oh and while on the subject someone kidnap Jorgensen and hide him away forever

I turned the game off after 15 mins couldn't stomach anymore. Sunderland fucking Sunderland win today at home to Villa go above us. We are a mess again, absolutely no better than last season, no improvement at all.

Wasn't it last season Manure were there for the taking and we bottled it. Wouldn't be surprised to see that happen again.

When will Maresca learn....if ever. That James is not a MF and Fernandes is not an AMF, had he addressed at least these two options things might have been different, and I do mean in a good way.

The agent of Senegal striker Nicolas Jackson says the 24-year-old will never return to Chelsea following his loan move to Bayern Munich. (Canal+ via Transfermarkt - in German), external

Inter Milan have turned down a 50m euros (£43m) bid from Chelsea for Italy defender Alessandro Bastoni, 26. (La Gazzetta dello Sport), external

Manchester City are considering hijacking Chelsea's move for RB Leipzig's 22-year-old Netherlands winger Xavi Simons. (Talksport), external

Nah Chelsea is the only club that want him.

Can't be any worse than Bernt Haas

This just won't go away, will it. Chelsea are still pushing to sign Alejandro Garnacho but Manchester United are pushing for a deal of at least £40m for the 21-year-old Argentina winger. (Talksport, external)

Bayern Munich are the only club to express an interest in RB Leipzig midfielder Xavi Simons, 22, but the Netherlands international prefers a move to the Premier League. (Bild - in German), external

Lev Yashin... there i've said it

Arsenal have joined Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United in the race to sign Eintracht Frankfurt's 23-year-old French striker Hugo Ekitike. (Sport Bild - in German, subscription required), external

Three of the top four are doing their business early, while the fourth [us] fucking flounder about, not knowing what the fuck to do. Where's the CB? we need, where's the GK? we need, where's the established CF? we need

Thats exactly what i thought.... And fucking hell we've actually got someone who knows where the goal is, I was doubtful about him coming here but now i'm really impressed with him.

FFS play James in his proper position RB he's not a MF, fuck you Maresca. Palmer couldn't look more disinterested if he tried, fuck you Maresca. We don't look like we're getting rid of Flip and Flop, and bringing in a decent keeper, fuck you Maresca. Next season we look like we heading for another dismal saga as last, fuck you Maresca

And Superior Player of the match, what a fucking debacle.
