You know what is incredible, even though our defence isn't great, on paper it's actually better than the likes of Arsenal, but they are still able to beat teams like City, Utd etc and even get into the CL season after season. It is quite embarrassing. Just watching the preseason game between them and City, and Arsenal are the ones in the driving seat considering they're not even that good on paper. I guess it shows you what can happen with club stability and smart buys. 

Lol they havent won a league title in 11 years.....thats what stability and smart buys gets you....no success.

Fair enough, but you can also switch that around and say with the money we've spent we shouldn't end up 10th last season. Arsenal, at the very least, have managed to get CL football every season with spending a lot less than we have. If we don't win the league within the next 3/4 seasons, would you consider that a success considering what we've spent on building our squad?

We have been getting in the CL every season ourselves, even finishing above Arsenal, winning CL and winning more trophies. 

 

What the fuck are you on about?

Arsenal probably would have too with the investment we've had, let's be honest here. There's things to hate about Arsenal, but their philosophy and club direction has to be commended; they've just been unfortunate that Roman injected billions into our club over the last 10 years. Let's not forget Arsenal had good success before our investment, then having to compete with both us and Utd, then City's investment since 2010/11.

I was thinking 'where do I start with this one', but soon came to the same conclusion. 

[oldportblue 547]

Also wanted to mention that a lot of you guys are over reacting I feel. Of course I would love Koulibaly too but i think people forget that we have one of the best young CBs to come back to our line-up in zouma... conte can make our defence viable with those 3 (jt, zouma and cahill) i believe, in a worst case scenario

Just spend £50m on him , otherwise conte could end up sacked due to terry, donk and ivanovic.

Not confident playing any pl side with those 3 starting, they really will undo everyones work

If we spend 50, should we just go for Stones?  We get a HG player as well then, plus Stones is 3 years younger.  I don't know Koulibaly well enough to know if he's better than Stones.  I've seen him play a few times, but I'm by no means an expert on him.

I have,Koulibaly is a WC ball playing CB,Stones doesnt even come close to him,ridiculously overrated

Rumors on Italian media about a new Chelsea bid for Koulibaly at €40M.

Hope this transfer gets done, can't even put to words how bad the defense is atm. 

[RuudiGullit 112]

Yes, indeed new reports.

5 year contract, €3.75m/year.
 

Just get him in ASAP we need this guy. Other than him... a new right back? Don't think Aina can play one full season...

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

Roman Abramovich has offered #Napoli €40m plus bonuses for defender Koulibaly and #CFC has a 5-year contract worth €3.75m/year ready (cm)

Napoli close to signing Nikola Maksimovic, which could pave the way for Kalidou Koulibaly to join Chelsea (Gazzetta dello Sport) #CFC

Not quite time to get the transfer window wank sock out yet though.
