We must not sleep on Colwill guy is going to be a massive talent.

Connor walks into out team already.

Rice for me is a no brainer 

Kounde looks like he might be the first in when the new owners take over 

what are people thoughts on Rashford? i know he is in poor form atm, but united seem to have turned on him and not backed him that cant be helping. do you thing he could fit into our team on form he can be a very good player for the squad.

Sprinted for a handshake with Tuchel after the United game too

All in all as far as youth, there's no one that I feel like, we let that get away.

I reckon the club probably feels that Rice was one that got away.

Well yeah that one, but that was at 14 age. Is different then the ones like Tomori, Livramento and what not. 

If any the club feel like the one they let go was Lukaku despite him being crap. And now they realize they made a mistake in buying him. 

Rice is a different scenario. To me he is worth the money that Lukaku cost. Heck if we can sell Lukaku for 50 million...I don't know how much we can get for him and use that money to get back Rice then awesome!

Musiala too (although different circumstances where they lost Musiala compared to letting Rice leave)

I don't think the clamour would be there for Guehi and Tomori if we weren't losing Christensen and Rudiger. If those two had signed on and stayed it probably wouldn't be such a big discussion topic. However, it still doesn't change the fact that we allowed both to leave when we had so many defenders with expiring contracts. Both or either could have been loaned out for another season in the Prem to carry on playing and developing. It was incredibly arrogant in the position we were in to show such little thought of a contingency plan in case of a situation like now losing 2 first team defenders on free transfers, which was always a more than reasonable possibility to happen.

Well yes. Responding to Rom's comment during the summer that he had, "Unfinished business", with Chelsea I said that I didn't believe him and that I felt it was rather the case that someone in Chelsea's hierarchy had unfinished business with Rom. I wrote that whoever it was probably hoped to prove that they had been right to sign ROM in the first place all those years ago.

What's Bremer like?

[Pizy 18,850]

Gvardiol to replace Rüdiger as the left sided CB and Koundé to replace AC at right sided CB sounds good to me. Gvardiol in particular looks very, very impressive on YouTube occupying those same areas on the pitch as Toni and making similar forward runs.

But that would probably be a combined £100m for those two alone before even addressing other areas of the team that desperately need upgrading. And even with those two brought in we’d still be short at the middle CB position. Depending on 38 year old Silva for a whole grueling season is asking for trouble.

I suppose it’s possible Tuchel gives Colwill a chance and throws him straight into the deep end? Would save us a shed load of cash.

Last I heard it was the opposite and they feel he still has the flaws he was released for.

Granted I'm being a bit lazy here (of the back of this Rangers game) but could Tavernier be an option for a new RWB?

We need a lot of over-hauling to do with a new owner coming in. Alonso, Azpi, Christenson(likely moving), Rudiger(already gone), Lukaku, Barkley, Bats, Emerson etc, should all go. And let the new owner set up a new strong team of players. A very forward playing creative midfielder is needed. Also let's stop buying strikers just bcos they finish up loads of chances in other clubs, but buy creative strikers with very high workrate. That is the only kind of strikers that has fit into Chelsea fc throughout the Abramovich era....
