That photo must be from the second leg of the 2018 FA Youth Cup Final. One of my favourite Chelsea performances ever. I sat behind one of the goals, as we totally outclassed them. Tino Anjorin's cameo as a second half substitute briefly had me believing  that he could be a star.

Does someone know why Enzo Fernandez didn’t get a minute yesterday? Hope he is healthy 😳

Makes sense to go for a left footer and with a lot more ball-playing ability than Guehi 

Guehi prefers to play on the left and he is good on the ball, good at passing, as I showed with my in-depth analysis post

• Chelsea are expected to submit an offer for the PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. (ESPN)

• Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson wants to stay in the Premier League, and he would be open to a Newcastle United switch. (Sun)

• Along with Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku, Ben Chilwell, Raheem Sterling, Axel Disasi and Renato Veiga are all set to leave the club before the transfer window closes. (Fabrizio Romano)

• Chelsea will look to sign a central defender before the window closes.

  Enzo Maresca: “It’s a priority for me to get a new centre back. We will see if we go for it”. (Channel 5)

Please don't get my hopes up about getting Donnarumma

[whats happening 1,615]

havent seen the amount of fee for donnarumma. if he's not that expensive we can 'survive' his possible bigger wage.

[TheHulk 2,424]

They are literally delusional with this flush and some actually think another goalkeeper is coming.

How can someone watch CWC final and say I want Donnarumma over Sanchez?

Better question:

How can someone watch the entire 2023/24 and 2024/25 seasons (all comps for clubs and countries) and not want all of the following over Sanchez?

Sanchez made a tonne of insane errors that cost us points over that time.

In order of valuation and yes, some of these are now not available or are on the old side (but we have Penders coming in down the road), BUT I list them all to prove my point about how many are better GKers:

Bold are still technically available (some of the bold are almost impossible pulls though).

    
Diogo Costa
Gianluigi Donnarumma 
Gregor Kobel 
Giorgi Mamardashvili (my main want for ages, Pool stole him, arfff)
Lucas Chevalier (my 2nd choice and now gone to PSG, ffs)
Mike Maignan
Guillaume Restes 
Jan Oblak    
Thibaut Courtois  
Ederson
Emiliano Martinez
Alisson  
Zion Suzuki    (really impressed with him after watching some games plus videos)
Alex Meret 
Bento 

 

big names (€20m and up in valuation) I do not rate to buy:

bold I could change my mind on

    
David Raya 
Guglielmo Vicario  
Bart Verbruggen
Anatoliy Trubin   
Unai Simon  
Joan Garcia  
Marco Carnesecchi 
Mile Svilar
André Onana 
James Trafford  
Marcin Bulka
Caoimhín Kelleher 
Matvey Safonov 
Dean Henderson

Why are you guys even talking about Donnarumma? Seems like he’s Man United bound.

It's been about 28 years since Chelsea avoided going for players just because Man U wanted them too.

Been hearing good things about about Zion Suzuki.

But there's no clear standout name there who will be tailor-made for a top English team like Ederson, Allison or Raya two years ago when we hesitated to pull the trigger.
