Special Juan

The parties are moving away more and more, after the initial optimism of the negotiation. Requests for engagement of Edin Dzeko are not within the parameters of Chelsea, which will give a definitive answer in the evening. The Bosnian asks for a salary of 7 million a year for three and a half years, a commitment too expensive for the Blues. However, the dialogues between the companies continue for Emerson Palmieri. For the attack, therefore, the Londoners now think of Olivier Giroud, leaving Arsenal, who can also play the Champions League. So, for the moment, Edin Dzeko's stay in Rome is increasingly likely. Sounds like it's dead.

Deeney....there's a name we could add to our list.

Great for him, but in a market where we are linked with Crouch, Giroud and Dzeko it really doesn't get more depressing and underwhelming than this. We couldn't be anymore in the bottom of the lost property box than we are right now.

You can tell things have changed, years ago we would of been trying for Aubameyang with a swap for Batshuayi.....Now, Arsenal are buying Aubameyang, we are ready to ship off Michy and we get Giroud

Like I said, expect more Zappacosta's of the world, this is what it has come to. The board have lost all vision and sight.

Must be due to get back to Peter Crouch now

Fucking about until the final hours...the real Chelsea way. Bunch of amateurs.

35M for Giroud.

OK, take care.

I like his busy attitude, not only that but his first though is head up and if something isn't on he drives forward,

Excellent result, Odoi great to see him.

Still a very poor quality half from us despite being 2-0 up. We just don't move the ball quick enough and our full backs lack so much quality it's unreal.

Keep the pineapple Michy

Thank god for that.

This is fucking lifeless and terrible.

Usual slow and un steady start here, Bats proving once again he is absolute shite at anything relating to holding up the ball.

Massimo Briaschi claims Dzeko has one foot in London and expects the deal to happen.

Turned the FA Cup on for 5 minutes, 10 times we see Alexis Sanchez pulling up his socks and brushing his hair to one side.....I forgot there Yeovil are playing against them.

Sanchez starts for United, must be strange thinking your weekly wage can by their team and the ground.

If Chelsea lose at anytime you should feel pain, that's the natural feeling of a supporter who cares. 3rd round or final, hurt should always be pain when the club you love, lose. I find it absolutely unbelievable that any fan can wish defeat on their own team.

Probably laughing his bad napper off about our current situation.

The club could match his wage demands but not the ambition.

City fucking flying in nigh on every competition and just about to get the deal done for Laporte for 57M and in January, this deal was only mentioned earlier in the week and is about to be done. This is exactly how you do things and one, don't fuck about and two, most importantly of all that under no circumstance drop your guard, just keep strengthening. This is how you conduct business and blow every fucker away with signings and no nonsense attitude like this.

Should be Musonda starting to replace Willian but can't see it.
