He's got given one of the world's best CBs, one of the world's best inside forwards tailor made for his system and also has the return of one of the leagues best young midfielders who would have cost upwards of £60m had Palace owned him.

We were a lot better than Arsenal and Spurs last season (the points tally was close because we had 5 tournaments to juggle, a major injury crisis aswell as unprecedented ownership issues while they both had only the league to focus on by the time we got into spring), and our signings are better than their's.

Given the situation of the ownership change I'll give him a pass if we're (as is likely) a way from the title again, but zero excuse if he lets United or Arsenal creep above us (Spurs could maybe be somewhat justified with the Conte factor).

Can see your point.

Comparing the squads, Rudiger has been replaced by Koulibaly, we traded Lukaku for Sterling, and we traded Saul for Connor. Only question is whether Colwill can step up to provide an adequate replacement for Christensen.

EDIT: the question is whether Tuchel will use Colwill to replace Christensen, instead of Saar.

We aren't finishing top four. No chance. I had said that the last year and nothing has happened to make me change my mind. Ask yourself: Would have Klopp finished top four with this lot? Not in a million years. Same goes for Pep. They both  wouldn't come near this team.

This team is middle of the table quality at best. Yes Tuchel won CL with this lot, but CL is cup competition where solid defense and couple moments of mastery and luck win you games even final. We showed our real class in the League. 

With Lukaku, Sterling and KK signing , and loss of Rudiger and Andreas  as well of the last year youngsters, we are worse team now than we were two years before and the last year.  This time, our competition improved.

We are worse than we were two years before and this time table will show it. I made peace with this last year. I can't see other outcome.

I still can't make myself to judge Tuchel when I know that half of his team is championship and the rest  midtable quality.  Only three or four players are top four quality. Our defenders are 31 and 38 years old....

 

Can't you be a bit more negative?

I find your comments totally wrong, and you're talking like an imbecile.

We haven't had an "big" scorer while Spurs have had Kane and Son for years and we stayed above them. You may say they didn't have Conte then but that's offset with the fact we had Sarri or Lampard instead of Tuchel.

As for Arsenal, they have consistently been low down in the table when it comes to chance creation under Arteta. With that in mind how does that make Jesus a safer bet than Sterling to score goals? Arteta's system has made even Aubameyang struggle to score.

Also Broja likely staying and eventually fighting for a spot here. Improves options in attack

Please don't buy this fraud Fofana. He looks so unspectacular. Gives me Bakayoko vibes

Get Guehi back instead

[chelsea_4_eva 1,182]

Apparently Fofana started following our backline on twitter? I dont have twitter so I cant really confirm...

Also if we are serious about Fofana, maybe we can send Kepa their way since Schmeichel is leaving...

[Alabama 1,992]

I hope Tuchel considers Pedro Neto...shame we lost out on Raphinha...Neto similar to Chiesa very skillful and direct left footed as well...

[Maravel21 36]

If we want to compete with Liverpool and city for PL we must sign : CB (fofana ), DM ,winger who scores goals . So 3 transfers .

We are 3 more signings far from Liverpool,so we are not a mid table team .

[milka 3,393]

When you have just one week before the beginning of the new season and your team are far from complete that`s mean you will have a tough  season .

You can't fight for something when in August (during the first rounds of the season) you will still be building your team .

Huh? Is this a serious post? Fofana is one of the most talented young CB’s in Europe and looks incredible both in the ball and in actual defending. In my opinion he’s going to be world class within the next few years. And what better way to realize that talent than learning beside two of the best of the last 10 years in Thiago Silva and Koulibaly. And under a manager that maximized 37 year old Silva, brought Rüdiger out of the wilderness and made him world class, and made Christensen a respectable CB.

I’d give Leicester £70m or whatever to get him. 

[shrenshah 186]

Would be ok if we buy Endrick kid and build a team around him from a 2 year plus pov. Dont think we can compete at the highest level in the short term as it is.

[Duppy Conqueror 1,539]

Fofana is too much of a risk for me for the price.

would rather go with Skriniar,cheaper,more proven,no major injury,plays for a country that doesnt qualify for major tournaments all plus points for me.

[DDA 9,941]

Knowing how people love to mug us off.. I wouldnt be surprised if we buy Fofana for 70+ mil and then discover he cant run or something.

Annoying as hell that the only credible Chelsea rumors everyday now are outgoings. We don’t even appear remotely close to bringing anyone else in. Have we given up?

Even the outgoings don't actually go. So many pre season minutes wasted on people who are on their way out

[Fulham Broadway 17,320]

Remember when Messi joined Barca - he said 'the players here hate Chelsea so much more than they do Real Madrid.' Its institutional.

Sabotaged 5 of our transfers - apparently they are still bitter about Mourinhos comments on Fisk,  Overbo denying us FOUR clear penalties, who has now admitted he got them all wrong,  hence UEFALONA moniker. But there biggest moan is how we beat them with 10 men, hardly touched the ball and the coup de grace dealt by Torres. 

Barca living up their reputation as being the biggest cunts out there.

[lucio 5,418]

Soyuncu used to look great. But maybe has gone off the boil
