Non-Chelsea Transfer Pub

Reading around and just going on that alone, it seems like the most likely in is going to be that Alonso fella. Imagine if that is the only signing we make:philjones

2 strikers, weak as fuck in the CB area and one day left. This isn't me moaning this is me being very worried indeed that we are few hours from the window closing and we are still chasing our tails. We really haven't learn't anything to this point from last summer, this is all going to end up as us fighting for shit and average players in January as ever.

Tbh if no new fullback means serious chance to Kennedy, I would actualy be very happy. The boy has serious potential, if he goes on loan, there is good chance he will never get a good opportunity here. Sad, because IMO he is our best young prospect.

Loan to Watford was already confirmed earlier today.

The Remy move is puzzling.  There have been reports of people wanting him on loan or permanent transfer.  I don't think it's strange that he's gone.  I think it's strange that we've known he was probably leaving for a while but we haven't been linked with any one in to replace him.  Part of the deal with leaving things until the end is that teams need to get replacements in so are unwilling to sell.

Dortmund getting Bartra for 8M Euro looks like a pretty good deal these days.  

Think Bartra is going to shock a lot of people. Always a very talented CB for me. Wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if he turned out to be a big hit.

He looked average when I saw him play. Will be interesting to see how he and the rest of the Dortmund defence do this season.

Okay, time to reflect.

At the start of the window I was hoping for: a CB, a FB, two CMs and an ST. Plus the return of loanees Christensen, Ake and possibly Baker and Boga.

Disappointed about Ake leaving but I guess he's just not good enough. Highly disappointed about Christensen leaving again. Stupid move for me.

The club brought in David Luiz, Alonso, Kante and Batshuayi. Kante and Michy are very good signings. Arguably two players with world-class potential. Luiz and Alonso not so much, for me anyway, but both are decent additions at worst I think. At least the expectations are low concerning Alonso so he shouldn't be under too much pressure. If not a starter, he could be a very useful squad player. An expensive squad player but hey... Everything has already been said about Luiz. We'll see how that will pan out.

EDIT: Going into the season with two strikers is too risky for me though. I can only hope it doesn't hurt the team at some point.

The Bonucci's and Pogba's were never going to join so yeah, that was just hope. But it was disappointing the likes of Koulibaly and Nainggolan didn't join. There was a real possibility to add both to the team but it just didn't happen. I'm not going to point fingers and play the blame game because I wasn't there.

All in all I think we're not in a position to complain because Chelsea did finish 10th, couldn't offer CL or even EL football and signing top players was difficult for Chelsea even after winning titles.

A top 4 finish should definitely be possible with this squad. With the Manc clubs definitely finishing in the top 4, it won't be easy but I have faith in Chelsea's ability to finish above the likes of Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool.
