Special Juan

More importantly what will it take to drop Bakayoko who is now slowly becoming an ever present in the side, despite shite performances week after week.

He doesn't trust Batshuayi, never has done, no reason to start now. I could argue the case but he has done nothing to convince Conte otherwise, just simply not good enough.

I can see it now...

Sounds like if agreement is reached with Dzeko before they KO tonight v Sampdoria, he will be benched and fly to London tomorrow.

He will start Bakayoko and Cahill.

And by the sounds of things won't be any Batman either, sounds like the false 9 again.

Not getting excited about him starting tonight, fully expect him to at least get his debut on Sunday in the FA Cup.

Too many loop holes and third parties involved in football now for deals to happen quick or run smoothly.

No surprise to me and shouldn't be to anyone else. The big picture is we have a big fucking massive stadium to build.

You are just giving yourself a constant headache by trailing through Twitter every hour. "He's on his way" "There is a glitch" "Not even close to being done"

Bakayoko will get another start tonight.

Yes I'm almost sure he can. Only made 2 appearances this season, 1 in the league the other in the Italian Cup

Right on cue... https://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2018/01/kenedy-completes-newcastle-loan.html

Kennedy to Newcastle is done, surely that means this is.

Kenedy on loan to Newcastle is done, should be announced anytime. Oh and on what Conte said in his PC earlier that he's ready to work with an academy player or a new player....It will be a new player, that player being Palmeri, no way he trusts an academy boy and puts faith in them as back up to Alonso.

Back issue.

Morata and Fabregas are out tomorrow. Christensen is fit.

Di Francesco on whether Edin Dzeko will start tomorrow: “As things stand at the moment, he will. Obviously I'm going to have to assess things and see what frame of mind he's in. I'll speak to him about it.”

Looks and sounds very promising.

Those figures for him are absolute absurd....No wonder he's claiming United are the best thing since sliced bread.

It's more optimism really. I mean there is hardly anything to get excited about now as we have a 70M bloke who can't use his feet and another bloke who's actually better on Twitter than playing football.
