Also Chilwell is one of the last links to our successful past. After the executives and backroom staff have been cleared out by clownlake, soon there will be no person remaining who knows how to win a trophy at this club. 

You realise that Reece is still at the club, injured or not 😆

Chilwell is a decent player but he must be horrible in training for Maresca to come out and say that he should look elsewhere.

Like the never ending story this transfer window at this point, if we sign Felix im just going to call him fucking falkor.

This is just Atletico f*cking around with us because we decided not to proceed with Samu.  

[NikkiCFC 8,461]

Cucu, Veiga, Colwill. Chilwell is now 4th choice. Even Gusto as LB is ahead of him.

Where is this quote coming from? Maresca anywhere publicly spoke out like “he better leaves”?

Enzo Maresca ruthlessly tells Chelsea star he should leave the club (msn.com)

Like it or not, it's refreshing to see a manager give a direct answer. His fitness issues, like many others, have played a big part in his failure to nail down LB, seeing who his competition has been.

Ah, shit. When I saw that Ramos got injured earlier I didn’t even put 2 and 2 together and realize that they’re definitely going for Osimhen now. 

We likely messed around too long. They’ll have no issues at all paying his huge wages.

[DDA 10,046]

You snooze you lose. Im telling you now if we dont get Osimhen we have dropped a bollock

Wonder who the club will panic buy in place of Osimhen if we miss out? Just go back in for Omorodion? Christ, I hope not. If we’re lucky someone else will have bought him by then.

Wouldn’t be surprised if we get someone on loan completely out of the blue on deadline day.

Toney would be my bet.

I’m not sure Brentford can do that. Selling their best player and main source of goals with no time for a replacement? They could get relegated if the do that.

Good point but how long left does he have on his contract? Can they afford to keep him longer, especially whilst his stocks are high. I only want Osimhen tbh but can see us settling with Jackson/Nkunku/Guiu and Felix as striking options

Toney is so bang average. 

Jesus - no idea what the fascination is with him here. Jackson>Toney and comfortably too. 

Felix is a eh signing, but better fit than Sterling I guess. Actually hopeful he can fit in well with the lads like Palmer, Nkunku and Jackson, as less pressure to score goals. He is great at the inbetween link up play bit so maybe his game opens up in this system.

They’ve signed a replacement - Igor Thiago from Brugge for 30m already. 

They may budge on the price in the last ten days of the window. They know the price can come down to 15m in January or nothing next summer

Adds to our problems. Where are the outgoings

[Strike 7,614]

Reminding me so much of a FM save. Swaps for Sancho, Chiesa, Felix and Osimhen. No one can convince me there’s a plan to all this. 

Just glad it’s established players and not more teenagers

FM is actually pretty accurate in that regard: wonderkid sometimes are just premature in their development. The fact they've reached a good level "so young" is not always indicative of their actual ceiling.
So may times you break the bank for a wonderkid in FM just to open the editor to find out his current ability is 171 and his potential is 175. 😅

For non-FM people out there 170s (good/excellent player), 180s (wc), 190s (the best).

I quit long time ago given they only update the GUI every year and add shit I don't care for, so I expect the database to be pretty much the same to this day.
