Special Juan

Yeah, just a minute from the window closing.

The back up plan....Adama Traore from Middlesbrough, you watch

They just bought Kyle Walker

There is no point at all buying Morata when the difference between him and Michy is minuscule. If we are to upgrade then we have to go looking for rounded, polished and top quality strikers. The knock on effect of this then impacts and gives the bench depth, which when playing CL football and fixtures become stacked, you need. Having MB and then say Llorente and Remy is no good, one injury from disaster, yet having say an Aguero as the main striker and Michy as the second option it works IMO. I've said from the start I do not rate Morata anywhere near as much as some.

Great news.

Keeping him could be the best decision all summer. We have Bakayoko now so hopefully that frees the lad to pull the strings and dictate the game like he's supposed too.

At this rate someone will probably beat us to it

All this small of talk of we won't be rushed or forced to buy, well I'm sorry we are totally out of our depth now because it's either pay 90M or whatever price or go for cheap stop gaps like Beneteke/Llorente.

Now it's working the other way, everyone knows Conte and Costa have a broken relationship and we need a striker, and now even more so, the situation is critical. We couldn't be more desperate or be up shit creek without a paddle as we are now.

Waiting for the statement; Chelsea FC are delighted to announce the signing of Danilo from Real Madrid. Antonio Conte has confirmed this was the final signing we needed and everyone at Chelsa is delighted with the fucking wafer thin squad we have... More to follow.

Our plane to the far east is that light it doesn't need an engine.

It's absolute pathetic, that's what's happening.

It's not just the 'buying' though, it's also about truly identifying the right fit for the team and system. If we had 1 main target, the following target has to be nigh on very close to those characteristics. Lukaku to PEA, two very different players, Belotti to Morata, two very different players again. If I am being totally honest right now I do not think we have a planned structure as to who we want.

There is mass attraction at Milan right now, just look at the players they have bought, not only that but they will probably buy 2/3 more. He's an ex Milan player and it probably excites him with all of the new purchases to go back and prove himself. All we can go on is what's reported, and to me it was a surprise we only acted after they had made a bid, the question is, why? If we that interested you don't wait until someone bids you act without hesitation, but with hesitation comes missed oppurtunities, and if we are going to continue this so called trend there is more disappointment on the horizon.

Didn't particular go well with the Lukaku situation did it? This waiting for other team to start an auction is silly, cut to the chase and do it.

De Sciglio is apparently signing for Juventus tomorrow.

Probably too busy firing money bullets at any striker in the world in hope that one sticks....

Some fabulous noises coming out of Palace this morning that Benteke is happy at the club and they won't be selling him

Looks like another one we can put a black mark through.

I agree to a certain extent but I think there is a thing in modern football now that where a catchment of players go a 3 year cycle, sometimes 4 and leave. Not only that but it just so happens the year we need a striker there is a real shortage of choice, not just that but I really do get the feeling the board are not willing to match prices in a seller's market, which is why we are really not getting these so called 'targets' quickly, or quickly enough for some.

This for me.

Must be something happening or should be happening with Sandro that involves this deal. If we sell to them it will just smell heavens high of us being bent over again and being a right soft touch. This transfer window as it stands at this moment now has been truly pathetic.

Not just this but SKY Sports News are absolute shite now in all honesty. Years ago when the yellow banner came up it was nailed on 100% certain, now they just get their shite links from Twitter and role them out in their own format. Should name it Tancredi TV.

Maybe it's me being a pessimist but I cannot see why they would sell an elite forward like him to a rival such as us which could massively impact on them winning the league.
