I really hope that Amazon are doing All or Nothing: Chelsea because the panic at Cobham today would joy to watch.

Assuming there's no last minute problem with Auba and Zakaria, I'm pleased overall with the window.

Fofana and Cucurella are big investments and probably a bit too much paid for both but ultimately the four first team players we'd already bought I think are strong and improve the group. The two today may well be short term but they fill needs in the squad with huge commitments and I just have this feeling that both are coming in with fairly low expectations which usually bodes well for Chelsea.

There's still work to do but it was never going to happen fully in one window. The next step will be for the ownership to pick a world class director of football to lead the next step, and in between now and the next window some contract decisions need to be made (the likes of James and Mount being tied down long term for starters).

Difficult to put a rating on the window. On the face of it, I'd probably say about 7.5 - 8/10. But we could look back on this window in a couple of years time and think it was a 10/10 if a couple of the younger players develop. The US keeper looks very promising from clips I've seen. Some of the players we've been able to move out permanently (finally) is a big positive too.

Leeds just signed Wilfried Gnonto, the new Italian Sr team winger

Guess it was a step too far for us to get rid of all the deadwood since it looks like sadly Batshuayi’s move to Forest has collapsed. But getting Barkley, Drinkwater, and Kenedy off the books in recent months is great.

so is zakaria official?

[milka 3,407]

 So its  over

Let's just accept we are team fighting for top4 last 5 years and it will continue that way. 

Nowhere near City and Liverpool. It's nice that new owner wants to invest but I don't see any planning behind it. 

[Last Sicarius 610]

Finally window is over. And Tuchel gets his toys so he will be questioned for each result now.

We'll know by 1:00am I suppose.

[Pizy 19,280]

Chelsea waiting and keeping everyone over there in the UK awake for dramatic effect. 😂

[Vesper 31,104]

Zakaria is done deal, official

we fucked up Forest and got the Bats paperwork to them too late (they are pissed)

so now are shopping him to Turkish clubs

Scott McTominay might have been the mystery £50m bid (Manure not in CL so it qualifies)

Hahahaha good one, Vesper! Almost had me there

[Superblue 6,372]

@Vesper how about Caicedo from Brighton as the mystery bid?

[sydneyblue 14]

I'll play for my first post..... cristiano ronaldo? 🙂

anyhoo just been reading everything up until now to try and keep up. Ive been a Chelsea fan since my time in london in 2000 but this is the first time i've kept an eye on dealings on the forums until deadline day (mostly to see what the new owners would do)......... bar one season I have only known roman.

holy cow it's bonkers. Im glad it's done now and just hope the team can focus more and hopefully improve on the pitch. 

Really hope something can be worked out with this young armenian/russian player in the future. He looks ace 🙂 ..... or will that fall through now?
