yes, we perhaps lost a monster player when Pool poached him away from us

I was raging for weeks

Yep, but this keeps happening. Lot of youngsters know Chelsea have great youth facilities but when it comes to signing a professional contract, they look elsewhere - Musiala, Livramento few years ago.

€90m for Sesko is mental. This dude didn’t even tear it up in a league where we saw Werner and Nkunku put up awesome numbers. He has massive flop written all over him at that price. 

Would be pretty funny to watch United flail around and try to scramble for a different striker if Šeško goes to Newcastle, though.

Delap is a better striker than Sesko... and we got him for 30 mil...

Agree with this. All of the striker market except for Isak look like dice rolls and could easily flop. Going for Delap and Pedro was one of the best possible outcomes we could aim for in this window

Sterling and Chilly will almost surely be deadline day desperation loans somewhere with us covering most of their wages, sadly. I can’t see anyone buying them with their wages. If they were on more modest wages I think they’d already be long gone.

I don't know which person in the CFC organisation is responsible for adding the final authorising signature to player contracts. Whoever it is should keep framed portraits of these two on their desk.

...Michael Olise. 🙁

I feel like it’s just slightly risky to sell Jackson now that Guiu is going out on loan. A long, grueling campaign with only 2 strikers could be tricky, though we definitely have enough attacking mids to play a strikerless system if necessary. 

We certainly will need a third specialist centre forward in the squad. If Nico's pride/ambition prevents him accepting that role, or the club prefers to transfer him because they don't want to allocate his level of salary to that role, then who is next up from the current squad? I'm not convinced that any of the younger players has looked ready.

Rio Ngumoha compared to Yamal after Liverpool debut 😬

Yamal! That comparison needs to stop. Yamal is generational.

Remember when we paired two generational talents Havertz and Joao Felix? 🔥 🥵

Could've played Carney instead last season and still got the performances this guy had if not better.

he was constantly injured in first half of the season

Nicolas Jackson increasingly likely to leave Chelsea. Suitors in PL & abroad considering 24yo if do not land top target, lose existing player or alongside current options. #CFC sales completed/agreed at £200m+ with £100/150m more expected.

Sunderland are close to finalising a season-long loan for striker Marc Guiu.

The negotiation has a clause akin to Broja’s loan to Fulham last year, where a penalty fee will have to be paid if the forward does not play a certain number of games.

Kinsella just posted as well, saying that "my figures are 277m out, 219m in" 

We haven't balanced the books yet but we're getting close. 

We would need 1-2 big sales to bring in both Simons & Garnacho.

Jackson has brought it all on himself, his on field petulance and the fact he is not good enough I'm glad we are getting rid

unbelieveble how we are selling so well
