Whats TC like in the close season?

[Tomo 21,751]

With no World Cup or European Championship on the way this summer a long close season is in store this summer.

What is Talk Chelsea like in the close season, it is still busy, active but not as busy or pretty much dead?

Wondering because i joined in January so aint been a member in the close season yet

Transfer discussion goes into overdrive, and arguments start easily.

[chrismada9 1,948]

It's just like any time during the year dude, busy!

The transfer forum gets rather busy though, if you can imagine the summer transfer window. Watch out for the Neymar thread in there! :eyebrows:

Great... I was hoping I could actually get some work done for a month or two.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

LOL exactly what Term said!

I joined at the end of the season last year. Trust me, the transfer thread goes crazy! I'm sure everyone remembers the whole Benayoun fiasco.. Resulted in the banning of a member here!

Really?

I was in Bulgaria last summer (end of June) didnt realise we signed Yossi till i came back, completely didnt expect that one didnt even hear a rumour about it was like wtf lol.

Don't forget the Neymar ordeal we all went through as well...

...that is still ongoing.

Oh, and expect angry reactions as soon as somebody bumps the Aguero thread.

Yeah haha that's what it was like hear! No rumours or anything, then bam! It just happens & this forum went ape!

Things should be less serious this time though (hopefully )

[Shane 2,275]

[Steve 10,227]

It does get a bit quite at times but we have a lot more members in comparison to last season so hopefully we stay strong!

[neel 257]

in this summer we will be busy in translating Brazilian newspaper and will hear lots about Fish and Saint

[Shane 2,275]

Think of deadline day this year

and picture it for 2 months.

[kwylino 329]

Ok ill give you a little bit i can kind of predict. since ive been here for about 1 summer period

Transfer section with guys like neymar aguero Lukaku etc etc goes mental

the off topic stuff stays bout the same with maybe A little extra

The kits discussion picks up i think A little

there you go

perhaps this summer nickyoung could come back on And give us a laugh Again about his fictiona lbed-time storys lol

[Rambo 1,729]

Usually just banter on about transfer speculations or pre-season during the summer.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Its actually the second-busiest period of the season - January is always the most busy time of year and the summer follows.

[Ollie 4,400]

I don't come here in the close season, i go missing for a few months because quite frankly all the transfer threads drive me to insanity and all the talk on what our new away kits might look like. If something actually happens, i'll come n post but really all i do in the close season is watch sky sports news, work and be bored shitless.

Last July when I joined, the WC had just ended, so there was stuff to talk about that way.

Can't believe it's been almost a year already since I joined

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Well, with pre-season there is always a few new transfers. Some coming in, and some, sadly, going out. But with the few threads we have, we can only hope for good results for the up-coming season, and then evaluant the new transfers and see if they are a welcome addition to the team.
