Special Juan

already leaked apparently...Spurs away

He won't be as bad as Madueke, but I do not expect him to pull up trees straight away. I think Maresca will blend him in slowly

I'd like to see Santos involved at some point here and see what he has got, a smattering of changes but with an outlook to making sure we get minutes into legs but don't go overkill. Start Delap, rest Jackson, start Santos and rest Enzo the rest is up for debate

And all around the 40/50M mark the price this board love

I liked what I saw with Delap, he did the simple things and things that should come natural to a top striker. His checked runs, his runs in the channels, he was pointing into areas where he wanted it and got his rewards with the assist that came from all of the above. Jacskon is going to have a problem with Delap, two completely different players and styles but Delap is an all rounder for me, still raw and not polished by any means but he has more to his locker than Jackson and I think as we build towards the season start he will give Maresca a big problem in terms of selection. Jackson is an average middle of the road striker that will do a decent job but he shouldn't be leading the line for us, and I hope Delap pushes his nose out and pushes him out the equation. Also, the ball from Delap was an absolute delight by the way...the way he fanned his foot round it to get it out of his feet but get the height and delivery was absolute top class, a striker delivering a ball like that, that he would love to be on the end of.

Scratch Nico Williams off that list, he's getting his dream move to Barca

A wins a win

And this is what we need to rid of this team, the players that are not up to the levels, Madueke is really poor no matter what side he plays on

Neto and Madueke are the two most one dimensional and limited wingers I have seen for ages, they never take risks, they never try anything different Rubbish

Dumb and dumber will be on holiday no doubt, if they aren't they will be in the maternity unit of the local hospital searching for the next up and coming talent

Start Delap, do not start doing all this protecting him shite, start him Maresca

Looks like Williams is right up the bum of Barcelona

Ah a new name Woltemade...never heard him mentioned before so we will probably do it, one of them ones where they want 35M and we will offer 65M and the fact he's a some what unknown it's a knocking bet dumb and dumber will go for him

Wirtz to Liverpool is done for 38th time it feels like....remember when the scousers broke the internet about us paying what we did for Caicedo... It's OK it's Liverpool, they are still scarred from their little home boy speaking in fluent Spanish at his Madrid unveiling

The club will be looking closely at Andrey Santos as their next big cash cow and how much they can whore him out at

Bayern and Arsenal going strong for Nico Williams, whilst we cock teas with a bag of kittens....it's no wonder we don't challenge for the PL title anymore I'm starting to laugh about these owners and SD's

Regardless of the fact it's the same as other PL clubs, it's barbaric to charge near or above £100 for a football shirt Makes me sick

£84.99 or £124.99.....fucking robbery

The two daft cunts will have their flip flops on now getting ready to fight over sun loungers at some exotic resort in a far away land to be worrying about the next Jimmy Saville victim, window opens on monday and the only one they will be looking in will be a plane window Nobheads

It's not bad, I bet the price is three figures or there abouts

Blokes had a balloon in his sock for months

I have give up on transfers now and caring, the model is quite clearly nowhere near what we should be building to and these SD's and owners are ploughing their own furrow

Good to see you around mate, stay tuned

Just want to bring some perspective to yesterday's goings on....We knew the window was short and what annoyed me the most was the fact the deals/players we were going for were not 70/80M players, they were players who both wanted to come here, had relatively low values based on the current market and we still couldn't get it done. Right, so I hear the window opens Monday again..so does that mean our targets are going to go from Gittens and Maignan to Donnuruma and Williams? Not a fucking chance, we went low for players and will remain at that price level and that player level, the pattern over the last two seasons tell you all you need to know. I'm hearing and reading I maybe unrealistic....nah I have been around Chelsea since the mid 80's, seen the bad times, seen the better times, seen the incredible times and seen the decline again, but what was the most stand out thing about all the times I have supported and followed the club is we always, always had a smattering of young but with experience wrapped around it, whether it be the mid 80's or 2025 you need this, and this is what this board are not getting. An arm round a shoulder is as key as a bit of flair skill, a low moment was where players were judged, where leaders and figure heads came in..years ago it was Bumpstead, Speedie, the baton was then passed to the Zola's and Poyet's, then we had the Terry's and Carvalho's, Coles and Lampards, these were your leaders and the ones that took things on the chin and galvanized the group. What we are seeing now is Tosin and Bettinelli's (gone) spoken about being the leaders and the characters in the changing room...nah fucking nah, we have a captain that is injured all the time, a dud keeper, mis mash centre backs, wingers that don't work anywhere near as hard as they should and meant to be flair players but offer fuck all and still years on pining for a striker we still have not got. Drogba passed the baton but it was dropped a million times between Torres, Morata, Higuain.. picked up by Giroud, dropped again between Lukaku and so on and so on without any order, Drogba and Hasslebaink with a smattering of Gudjohnsen to add flair..... The point Im trying to make is sign experience, do not cut corners, do not discard experience and this club deserves to have these calibre of signings which is why I am not having these owners and SD's one bit, they have no clue what they are doing and the direction is non existent. What we seen and witnessed yesterday was shambolic, whether it be only for a few days until the window opens again, this was about, and lets solely focus on the keeper for one second, an experienced and very good shot stopper for a car boot price, someone the manager wanted, forget the briefs, he wanted him because he plays well with his feet and we went in for him with a reason, we failed, we failed the manager because the club is obsessed with penny pinching, yet the graphs and data tell you we are way above the PSR curve, with ease. The direction is rotten, the outlook is rotten, the club has lost it's way, I love Chelsea always will but the faith is slowly draining from me because the people in charge are a disgrace. Seen the good seen the bad, this is really bad, but always Chels

Dortmund have registered Gittens for the CWC meaning he can't play for us even if we do sign him next week.
