lucio

good decision, we need his undivided attention for the bench this season.

Thought he did well 30 mins onwards. We lost some midfield control when he came off for cheek (who drifted as usual)

Do you know if Loftus cheek ever played rw for palace or england?

We'll have to take a gamble on mich.B replicating his dortmund form

They are pretty slow these days

Could throw both Mich and morata at them

It's just a sprained ankle, and it's not like the exact same situation would have happened at Chelsea.

was he injured or is he off?

Well, we wear blue, play in the Europa League and have a squad full of piss poor players. So maybe we are

it isnt about this match, it is about the season ahead, Golovin is class and would have elevated our midfield

Ramsey and a RW needed - but more chance of us chasing vecino and snodgrass

He could bring them with him to England, hire private Spanish tutors in London , if it was that big a deal, he wouldn't have stayed here to begin with.

I doubt Ampadu can speak Welsh but it would be good to have another team mate he knows. I think Ramsey would walk into our midfield 3, and give us something we don't have from midfield, a goalscorer

No way we will end up bringing in Jorginho and kovacic in one window - I fully expect us to hang on to bakayoko, drinkwater and maybe buy a terrible midfielder like vecino

I think he should lose the captaincy and better yet be sold, but there is no issue with him taking his holiday. You know he will report back in good shape unlike certain players (Hazard!)

Italian drinkwater

Max meyer is also a free agent...,

yeah its bad, but 10 in the last 29, from midfield and from open play

he seems underwhelming, but he's fast, technical and can shoot. For free, I don't see why not, might work out and take the pressure off hazard

he looked pretty decent vs arsenal early on in the season, but the priority was always to get bakayoko to work out

and most of them are terrible

this is why we won't progress as a club, missing a chance to bring in genuine quality , because we have players like moses and pedro who "can do a job"

Chelsea fans around the world after 65m for willian is rejected.

because pepe the frog invaded Poland and killed millions?

would be interesting at least - but not sure
