Spurs have beaten United thrice in the season and have their CBs Romero and Van de Ven back fit. United are not favorites for me.

You do realise Spurs bottle everything? Having Spurs in a final is akin to getting a bye.

Kane won first trophy this season it's time for Spurs also.

Billionaire Chelsea owner ‘pestered employee for sex’

Hansjorg Wyss, 89, is accused of propositioning a young woman and her husband. He allegedly told her: ‘If you ever went after me for sexual harassment, you would win’

Reminds me of my favourite Winston Churchill joke. When woken in the winter of 1944/45 to be informed about a brewing diplomatic incident involving a very senior officer in Paris, he replied:

Good god. It's 4am in the morning. The man is 70 years old. He's drunk as a skunk. He has been working night and day for five long years. It's six degrees below zero and the woman is a third of his age. Makes me proud to be British.

(From memory so not a quote but that's something like the gist.)

🙂 🙂 It's ludicrous how the smallest little knock on Tottenham Hotspur makes me chuckle for minutes on end.

I could play devil's advocate and say, we were a win off being top of the league in December to potentially missing out on CL football entirely. There are key components to building a balance squad that are missing - Reliable GK, WC CB, and WC WF/CF. Those three are effectively what won the title for Liverpool.

If I am to believe everything that is written, we won't be addressing any of those areas with the level of quality required. Estevao could potentially "take to water like a duck", but I highly doubt it given his age & physique. 

Tbh if we have constrained budget (due to years of horrendous misspending) I would spend every penny on GK and 2 CBs and just try to get by with what we have otherwise, as grim as it would be

Arsenal (and various other clubs historically, including us) have shown you can do a fair bit with boring football and a good setup at the back

CF would be amazing but for me would be the one we could delay if we have no choice

Think we are a little conditioned to expect to have our cake and eat it too at this point we may have to just prioritise and try to get by

[Special Juan 28,727]

If we are to be anything, and I mean anything such as top four and even put a bit of a title fight we need a GK, CB, CM and CF as a minimum, end of.

Sanchez and Jorgensen bin them the fuck off, not good enough. Get a CB high quality to play next to Colwill, I'd like to say Chalobah but he's going and I rate him more than Colwill. We need cover for Lavia as he is injured more than a 90 year old and a CF and I mean a proper CF like Gyokares

Chelsea are very interested in Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton.

Sources have told that Chelsea will face stiff competition from Premier League rivals Manchester United and Liverpool for Wharton.

Palace’s strong negotiating position, bolstered by Wharton’s £55 million market value, means Chelsea would need to table a significant offer, potentially exceeding £60 million.

Last thing we need despite me really rating him. We’ve got Andrey Santos and that guy from Sporting we bought in January coming in to add to our already great midfield options. And £60m for Wharton I think Palace would laugh at and instantly tell anyone to piss off.

[ZAPHOD2319 4,942]

Discussing the latest on Chelsea’s search for a new striker, Phillips said: “One key area is striker, and SPTC Sources have heard this week that Chelsea are ‘still there’ for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.

“The player has always been keen to join Chelsea regardless of Champions League football, and he is still keen now. The deal was worked on hard last summer, and the belief from our insiders is that his wage demands would not be as astronomical as the media are portraying.

“Chelsea can easily go back into the deal and our sources believe that it wouldn’t even be that difficult to come to an agreement.”

If we are going to Palace it should not be for Wharton, it should be Eze

Would Eze and Palmer fit together though?      And you would think Pep would be all over Eze to help fill the KDB void 

[Thor 2,817]

Eze is fun to watch, but doesn't strike me as a player starting for a title competing team. Great off the bench if needed. 

Just don't see anything crazy game changing about him in his role.

I do wonder if it'll be Enzo, Caicedo, Santos, Lavia (no-one will take him now considering his injury issues)  with that guy from Sporting staying on loan next season. 

Would love to have Wharton though, should be a top level PL midfielder for the next decade.

Liverpool have initiated talks with Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku’s camp. Newcastle United are also thought to be interested in Nkunku, alongside Bayern Munich who have been informed of the conditions of the deal. (via@Santi_J_FM)

Newcastle United have moved ahead of Chelsea in the race to sign defender Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace. 

(FrazFletcher)

Liverpool want to speed up the deals with J.Frimpong, M.Kerkez,T.Araújo in the next days.
The Reds are also very interested in signing C.Nkunku.

Think the reporting I saw was that the Sporting kid is coming in straight away during the CWC. But who knows.

I’d be incredibly surprised if we were interested in another CM.

[mkh 748]

Renato Veiga is open to staying at Juventus but it's difficult as Chelsea are asking for €50m.

Pep seems to have prioritized Wirtz and Morgan Gibbs-White

I think they would. Eze seems like he can make the jump up right now and has just 2 years left on his contract too

What happens to Colwill if we purchase two CBs? Purchasing someone who would mostly be a bench/rotation player would be a waste of money because it appears that the club has all of their expectations on him for that position.

That, in my opinion, is mostly due to the owners' readiness to spend a lot of money on players. We may be in a far better situation both financially and on the pitch if they stopped spending £50–80 million on poor players who COULD be the next this or that.
