Llorente to Spurs is the real kicker to round out a poor window from the Chelsea staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like we had in 2015/16? We never learn and we're now happy to settle for mediocrity. Good luck ever aspiring to be even close to the level of the likes of Madrid, Bayern and Barcelona. As it stands, we're just another overrated English team. Anyway goodnight everyone. Mate, I'm as disappointed as anyone but this summer has been orders of magnitude better than that infamous window. Every players we've bought this summer will actually fucking play for us for a start. Rüdiger, Morata, and Bakayoko will be stars for us I think. Zappa and Drinkwater will be solid I hope and Christensen will develop nicely. Not a total disaster but not the homerun we had hoped for. Luckily, neither Manchester club made a massive move today so the gap isn't quite as huge as I feared it could've gotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I'm happy with the signings we made. Rudiger and Christensen (if you'd include him) strengthen our defence and I believe one will edge Cahill out as first choice during the season. Bakayoko and Morata I think will prove to be younger and intelligent buys to replace Matic and Costa. Caballero is a solid replacement for Begovic and experienced backup. Zappacosta I don't know much about but will trust the Italian journalists that rate him and think he'll do well under Conte. Drinkwater, assuming it goes through, in my opinion is a solid option for centre midfield. Premier league experience, played with Kante in a 2 man midfield setup, will do a solid job when called upon I believe. I'm a little concerned with the depth in certain positions. Striker in particular because we don't know if Morata will struggle at some stage playing so many games for us during the season, especially how intense our league is and I'm really not sold on Batshuayi. That's why, for a fairly small fee, I'm surprised we didn't go in properly for Llorente who would have helped shore that position up. I feel we could have kept a couple of the younger players we've shipped out on loan just to beef up the squad. We have to assume we will usually have at least a couple of players unavailable for games when playing 2 or 3 times a week and our bench at the start of this season showed obvious depth issues. Boga for example, surely should have been kept. We have effectively got 5 senior players for 3 positions. It's a risky game. However if we have a run like last year keeping key players fit throughout the season we'll go close again because we are very well balanced and in my opinion still better equipped than Spurs, Liverpool and Arsenal.

robsblubot 3,595 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Not me. Count care less about Sandro. alonso has been one of our top performers and it would have been criminal to remove him from the starting XI at this time. striker, rwb (Moses has been inconsistent), and attacking mid. we have one striker. Make no mistake. Bats is a bet at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea? 892 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I'd rate this window 8/10 if u take into account how little our rivals did. It was pretty embarrassing at times but it's been good. Conte should be satisfied or he needs to go manage PSG or City. Actually fear he might go to PSG next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like his spirit, he just needs help with consistency and not being in over his head at times. I hope he shines and proves everyone here wrong. The really bad thing about the transfer market is that COsta is still with us and not training with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
