 'Chelsea lack strength in depth - they won't be as lucky with injuries next season'

That has been said every season for as long as i can remember. There's no luck in having a fantastic medical department.

Conte will be gone before december. And it's not even his fault.

I just hope that there is a solid plan that Conte and the board has for world domination (long term) and it is being carried out in the backend, I seriously hope and pray it is ... because now that little bit of worry has started to kick in. 

I just hope that the current situation is not going in the direction of "Beginning of the end for Conte!!!" ... 

P.S. Been overacting? Yes!!! Maybe those are just the nerves not settling down!!!

World domination?? We all know who are the 3 best team sin the world and right now. In terms of quality they are quite a few level above us. Unless Roman turn into his old self there is no way we that is our goal.

We should just improve  our squad step by step

Mate, you cant just pick up the literal meaning of everything  ... I meant to be among the best and surely not wanting that to happen like tomorrow. 

Yes we all know who are the 3 best team in the world but everyone is replaceable ... for a team which was considered to a mid level team before the Roman era to now being in the top 10, if the strategy is correct then we could well be in the top 3 in the next 10 years ... who knows!!!

For me money talks, eventually if the money continues to be like this, team from epl will surpass the 3 teams unless epl teams keep making dumb signings. 

Furthermore, in epl we are competing against two richer teams. United / city will win epl in 1-4 years. Do you realize united could  spend crazy money on di maria flop, martial flop and still have the money to sign pogba and Lukaku for crazy money. The same with city, they let their whole fb go and spend 120 m to rebuild it. 

That is why we are trying to build a new stadium, the same with spurs, and travel to overseas to build brand in order to gain more revenue.

Unfortunately I agree with this, a pattern will emerge again, a massive fall after a huge rise of winning the league.

WTF is going on with this club?????

[zekinjo 449]

We signed Morata on July 19 and his signature supposed to be only the beginning of many others signings. It's August. Besides Sandro the quality of players we're connected with goes from bad to worse each day. 

[Laylabelle 9,534]

The problem is there is still time but there's been plenty of time already and as getting nearer the end little activity. Ideally you'd want time to gel players together but that looks unlikely. If gets to last week and still in the situation then can see it being a long season. Especially being in more competitions the tiredness and injury chances and all..

Just hope conte is given the chance and time! Can't blame him for no signings

It is just 10 days until the 2017/18 Premier League season kicks off, and currently the reigning champions have 17 senior players on their books.

Situation is even worse. It's 4 days before first official match, CS is not a friendly game. 

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Remeber we started last season with 3 more senior players (20) than this one and we feared the squad was thin back then. If Hazard, Pedro, Bakayoko and Moses 4 nailed-on starters weren't injured/suspended or if we would actually be able to make those 4 signings we badly need this would not be a problem for the opening weeks. But those are two big IFs and I am not sure we will be able to do anything over those. I see English clubs are having a hard time on the transfer market but shipping out as many players as possible before we even make any meaningful signings, reducing the squad to a mere skeleton is what we have done for years now and in the absence of luck like in the last two title seasons it has cost us dearly.

I'm starting to worry now, really worry. We are now hearing the words "Tired" We are now selling like no tomorrow, players are leaving at a serious rate of speed right now and we have only brought in Morata, Bakayoko and Rudiger.

It seems, and I say seems because I can only use what I read as a yard stick, that nigh on every player we go for/ are linked to immediately becomes not available or sold elsewhere. Are the board penny pinching with all these sales and thinking towards the new stadium rather than squad investment? That's what I think, I think as it stands right now this squad looks horrendous, not just that but so fucking weak.

Yes a month to go, but even less for the season to start. We could be one or two injuries/suspensions away from complete disaster here.

This post represents how pessimistic this forum is. I remember last season when we were 10 points from Spurs, Jason was posting everyday how he was feelings Spurs was going to win the league. 

Seriously, except for Matic and Costa, the players that are leaving the club are leaving because they are not playing at all. Terry, Ake, Zouma, Chalouba...they barely played last season, and would struggle to even make bench. City and United both were a disaster last season, so its obvious they are the ones who should be buying like no tomorrow. 

The press is saying only 17 players are available, last season I think we had like 13 essential players: the regular starting 11 + Fabregas and William.  With the addition of Rudiger, now we have 4 players that can play as CB, instead of 3, and Azpi can play as RWB, a natural position for him.

Saying the squad is horrendous and fucking weak is a very naive thing to say.

Although I agree with most of what you said, you have to take into consideration that we wasn't playing Champions League last season. 

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Actually it is 18, not 17, if you counting Christensen in. Yes only 2 have left from our starter last season, and would agree if everyone is fit, we've a good squad. But still we have lack in quality and number to compete in 4 tournaments. The likes of Baker, Kenedy and Musonda could filled in the squad, but they are not ready yet. You just can't compete in 4 tournaments with only 21 players.
