Was about to say the same thing. 

Imagine all the 17 year old Brazilians and over valued mid table wingers we'll buy with that. 

And Stewart and Winstanley sat back with a big smile on their faces.....makes me fucking sick

If Chelsea doesn't make the CL spots this season., it's very likely going to happen.

No talented player will stick around for ages like Kane did for Spurs.

 

To be fair, Kane very obviously wanted to leave basically for the entire time - he was just locked into an insanely long contract and his only route out was to try not showing up to training - briefly tried that and ended up just going back to training with his tail between his legs after realising they just wouldn't pay him anymore but wouldn't sell him either, as they called his bluff. Haven't seen many players try that trick ever since that incident in fact.

We are in a very good position to keep our good players for the long term - literally copied the Daniel Levy model. No real surprise of course that if you copy the Levy model you might not win much tho.

Exclusive: Nicolas Jackson ruled out until after the international break following a scan on Wednesday. Chelsea confident the squad can cope with Jackson and Guiu absences.

Yup, pretty much. And our injuries seem to get mismanaged into escalating chronic, career ending injuries too so..lets just hope we get a fully healthy NJ back at all

But season very likely over - only VAGUE hope I could see to be competitive in PL would be Cole as a false 9 and pray.

Yup but if you thought we were bad the last two months, I don't think we can reach even those levels from now.

As bad as Jackson's scoring run has been the last 2 months, he is comfortably the best lone forward we have.

True..always potential to be worse. Guess we won't score the first goal and drop points just won't score at all.

Well.

If you take Maresca’s word about top 4 not being an objective for this season, then it's no surprise the club doesn't give a hoot about our current lack in depth.

Sliding out of top 4 into the Europa league spots., barring an insane turnaround in form from Nkunku, is looking more likely than ever. So much for enjoying this season.

Just another work in progress season. 

I guess the fans should be grateful. Considering this is a club that only recently survived going into a relegation battle under Potter. Slow steps.

The new saying in the media rolled out from the club is a 'season season', a bit laughable like the term used for players such as a Swiss army knife...ha ha, problem with our swiss army knives is they are fucking blunt and useless
