The game (per the podcast above) that saved us from selling players before Roman took over. Jesper Grønkjær's goal was one of the biggest in team history, and deffo his most important.

Classic match: Chelsea 2-1 Liverpool

Jesper Gronkjaer was the Blues' hero in a final-day battle for fourth place and Champions League football in 2002/03

I know his goal made absolutely certain of the win but a draw would have been enough as well.

That's very true and Desailly is a much better player to celebrate with such a moment in the club's history.

I am certain that if Gronkjaer didn't slip he would never have finished that goal. He probably would have swung his boot at the ball and sent it out towards the corner flag.

That goal will always be a great moment in Chelsea's history considering everything since but christ was Gronkjaer rubbish.

People moaning about Willian's consistency need to watch a few matches of Gronkjaer!

All was forgiven after that one

Not sure if Coutinho is even proving anything at Bayern...

As far as I heard from some Bayern fans, they seem to like him. But Hansi prefers German players and he lets Cou play sometimes as a left winger. Hard to tell

Just been thinking about Athlti's financial situation and the £50m they owe us for Morata (which is water tight - unless Fifa fu*k about with the rules.) If they cannot pay, we may be able to use it as leverage to get Oblak. What does everyone else think? 

Can we move kepa ?

Not sure playing Coutinho as left wing is a problem.

From what I have seen from Cou as a left winger when he played for Barcelona, I would not want to have him here.
I prefer Boga or Sancho as a left winger over Cou

Barcelona boss Quique Setien makes U-turn over Philippe Coutinho’s future amid Chelsea interest

https://metro.co.uk/2020/04/16/barcelona-boss-quique-setien-makes-u-turn-philippe-coutinhos-future-amid-chelsea-interest-12563291/?ITO=squid&ito=newsnow-feed

Barcelona boss Quique Setien says Philippe Coutinho still has a future at the club despite persistent rumours linking him with a move, while he has made it clear that any suitors will need to pay a premium. The Brazilian struggled to live up to his mammoth price tag after arriving at Camp Nou from Liverpool and was sent out on loan to Bayern Munich this past season – though the German side will not take up their option to make the deal permanent. A return to the Premier League appears most likely, with Chelsea believed to be at the front of the queue to sign the Brazilian though Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester United and even former club Liverpool have all been linked.

But Setien, who took over in January, has moved to quell speculation that Coutinho could leave and says the 27-year-old will be welcomed back into the squad unless a mammoth offer is made. Asked about Coutinho’s future, Setien told RAC1 on Wednesday evening: ‘I think Coutinho is a great player, I really like him. ‘He is still a Barcelona player. You have to pay the clause or pay a sum to Barca. ‘I think he can be here at the beginning of next season. I have to talk to him to ask him.’

Imagine playing both Ziyech and Coutinho as wingers together, that would be a nightmare to watch since both of them are slow.

German outlet Kicker report that at some point recently Chelsea 'have made direct contact' with RB Leipzig to sign Timo Werner.

 

Have you?

Kicker is indeed somewhat trustworthy.

[King Kante 1,446]

Isn't Kicker the most reliable of all the main German sports media outlets?

Is this rhetorical question? Guy from Germany just answered. 

Anyway from Werner point of view Chelsea should be over Liverpool because of the obvious reasons.
