Reddish-Blue

Based on what Matt Law was saying in his podcast, we're going to be under UEFA restrictions next season and beyond (assuming we qualify for european football).

The most interesting part was: Jackson isn't in the UCL squad this season, so his potential sale wouldn't count towards UEFA sales for next season. 
We would have to sell players in List A to buy new players. 

Chelsea had a large delegation in the directors’ box on Saturday. There was Eghbali, Winstanley, Stewart, Joe Shields, Sam Jewell, Daniel Finkelstein. Among their travelling party was David Weir, less than 2 weeks after his surprise departure from Brighton as technical director.

90 million spent for bench players 
Surely we could have paid Palace a decent fee to get Guehi back? 

We already had a pretty good young CB at the club (Veiga) and the decision was made to sell him and keep Tosin/Chalobah/Fofana.  

Danny Welbeck scores...and water is wet

Paul Merson: "This weekend against Brighton - they always do well at Chelsea. That's why Chelsea end up buying all their players.
Everyone will be trying for Brighton this weekend because they're on trial, ready to get their £50m or £60m move in January." 
😂

Hopefully gets his p45. Cannot imagine how bad we will play against these. 

Enzo going to get his 10,000 steps 👊

Slonina would have been better placed in this match considering his previous loan. Jorgensen is lost out there.

Wow. Wins a win but that was fucking tragic.
Anyone who thought Gittens & Garnacho were serious upgrades/good signings need to lay off the crack pipe.
Would rather Sterling was playing than those 2. 

Lets be real, Barca weren't going to sell Fermin unless it was some ridiculous transfer fee
Not sure why we splashed on Gittens and then missed out on Simons cause we didn't have enough sales to meet UEFA criteria.   
I miss the good old days of Cech - JT - Essien - Lamps - Drogba. 

How many games has Lavia actually been fit for? 

What a waste of money

Surely we have a striker in the youth team?

If George is going to play, let him run around on the wings, he looks completely lost up front.

Someone like the Bournemouth manager would be good

Acheampong and  Hato likely to feature. Lavia trained on Sunday -but prob unlikely too.
Prob along the lines of -Jorgensen; Gusto, Tosin, Acheampong, Hato; Santos, Fernandez; Garnacho, Buonanotte, Gittens; George

Yup, very obvious now from his comments he's at war with the directors and the board (rightfully)
I dont agree with the way he's going about it though, i.e. by dropping points through bonehead moves. Fans deserve better.
And yeah, a manager at loggerheads with the board. Never a good sign.
Winning a single CWC trophy doesn't give you much room for argument.
 

Still no Lavia for this one 
 

Don’t worry… come January/next summer, folk will be creaming themselves over how we signed 5 or 6 players (that 90% doesn’t include a top GK or CB) with a ridiculously low net spend. Without thinking about how bad the recruitment is/has been due to a severe lack of key signings in key positions. Again.
People can’t help but fall for it each window. This club is now merely being run more as a very efficient business as opposed to a competitive football team. That’s what BlueCo want.

It most certainly isn’t the major coup it is made out to be either. It’s a trophy yes and bought him some more credit in the bank with the decision makers but doesn’t necessarily mean he is the end all or be all of us winning that.
The PL & CL results is a better barometer to use to praise or beat him with.
Seen enough last season to know how it will end… he will be gone by the summer 100%.

If we played Bayern and Real instead of those Brazilian teams we wouldn't be in the final to begin with.

Seems like everyone's ego got a little bigger after winning the CWC.  
Just because we got past PSG in pre-season doesn't make us a contender 😆

As if Maresca staying is any help for us either, both camps are fucking shite.
