I'm really, really sorry people want Chelsea to compete with these super teams. Imagine wanting the champions of England to build a stronger, more competitive squad! How unrealistic and bad that people want that. Shame! 

People need to stop slagging people off for wanting the club to have more ambition and wanting the club have a stronger team. There's literally a team in our league that we compete for titles with that has excellent midfield depth: Man City. They have KDB, Fernandinho, Gundogan, Toure, Silva, and then some good youngsters like Diaz and Foden competing for that CM spot. Why can't we aim for the same or something similar? How in the world does that make anyone unrealistic? 

What's so wrong with wanting the champions of England, one of the most successful teams in the last decade in England to be a bit more ambitious, smarter or imaginative in the transfer market? Our very own manager is literally complaining about the fact we sold Matic and how we've approached the market this season. He's clearly not too happy about it. For example, his idea was clearly to have a midfield core of Matic, Kante, Fabregas and Bakayoko. If that means he plays too many video games because he wants a strong midfield... how can you even say that? I genuinely don't see you criticising Conte for saying exactly the same things some people are saying on here. If Conte has been echoing similar thoughts it's you who isn't being realistic about the situation. Do you want us to properly compete for/win trophies or not? If so, do you feel like the squad is strong enough to challenge strongly on all fronts this season? If you can't clearly answer those questions with conviction, then you can't really criticise those for wanting us to do better in the transfer window.  

Yes, exactly. At the start of window, we all expected signings that will push us as close to CL trophy in next two years as possible and at least be favourites for PL again.

Two months later, we talk again if we can finish top 3 in PL, same as last year. 

Where the hell does this club have any serious ambition? Yes we managed to win 2 PLs in last 3 years which is incredible incredible feat. But if we were so great, we would never finish 11th in between. And for this season, who knows whats gonna be. 

Every team that is challenging for top would bring serious competition for Willian and Pedro, but only we stick with just them. We should bring someone to replace Oscar, someone who fits better. We didnt. We should bring backup for Eden. We didnt. We should get a marquee player to play with Eden to create more dynamic in our team, we didnt. Hell we cant even keep the likes of Matic here and buy two damn wingbacks that are absolutely crucial in this system. 

Our board relies on current players way too much, like we will repeat last season. But we might as well repeat 2015/16 season too with such poor approach.

He didn't feature in the last 2-3 preseason games of Leicester, he is reportedly injured.

Being injured seems to a condition for us to be interested in a player.

Chelsea have yet to return with an improved bid for Leicester midfielder Danny Drinkwater, 27, after the Foxes rejected a £15m offer earlier this summer. (Telegraph)

£15M bid rejected few weeks ago, no improved bid made as of yet.
While the rumoured figures of £30M are inflated, did the club seriously think £15M would get it done in a market where likes of Gylfi Sigurdsson are being sold for £50M? 

You don't start with a high bid, that's like the most basic thing in negotiations. However, no improved bid in a few weeks? That is worrying unless we have another target in mind.

Bid him farewell. On a serious note what options do we have left? 

[Laylabelle 9,359]

I know he can't help it but does have a daft surname 

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

I would not complain if we sign him now.

[Magic Lamps 11,653]

The Burnely disaster has not exactly strengthened our negotiation position but lets hope the player puts in a transfer request and forces their hand. I am not fond him Drinkwater but I would be happy with anyone at this point. 

[Fernando 6,463]

Sad but true. 

We need more CM. 

But this is because the board have been doing nothing all summer. They much rather sell then buy. 

Now instead of improving we are just buying average....

[Jase 43,479]

Think Drinkwater's price may have gone up by 50 million after today...

[Magic Lamps 11,653]

Let's hope he puts in a transfer request. Otherwise we will be held to ransom
