You are forgetting whatever has been spent to bring in Quenda, Emegha and Barco. Now with Uefas FFP system switching to this squad cost ratio, along with the PL PSR system I wonder have the sales of Santos, Cucurella and George, along with Trev's sale coming up, been enough to satisfy these both? Do we need more sales just to meet them? Or more sales to make money available for a few more 18-21 year olds? I have no idea how Uefas squad cost ratio system works, anyone care to fill those of us who have no clue in?

the only thing about this season is we have a proper manager in charge. However, Areola goes badly at Anfield, you know exactly where they will turn come January or next summer, without the appointment of Alonso, we are relegation fodder IMO. Im expecting him to work a miracle and he will need Palmer and others to be on top from and jijury free.

Or you could try and argue the points I made, rather than just ignore it an blame bias.

The problem is that James isn't a very good midfielder. He has his moments, but no more than that.

Midway through July, let's sum up the transfer window so far. Bought Palestra. A young full back off the back of his first good season for £47m. Sold Cucurella for £47.5m + 4.7m in future add ons ( pathetic, should have been £60m, minimum ) Interest in Lacroix and Wharton, both have gone quiet. Lacroix more likely, but not even close to being done by the looks of things. Tried to sign Xhaka, failed. Tried to sign Pep Chavarria, a mediocre full back without a single cap for Spain or appearance in the Champions League. Offered a low amount, Rayo Vallecano asked to match his release clause which was £21m at the time. Now it's somehow gone up to £42m and they are demanding that instead. Sold Santos to Man Utd for £50m, a direct rival for top 4. Selling Chalobah to Como for a pathetic £30m. Enzo wants out, but nobody wants to pay the money. Desperately trying to shift Garnacho, the best we will get is a loan. Jackson is back because we can't sell him. Delap, Disasi, Badiashile, Tosin, etc, players that need to be sold won't be sold. No FOS sponsor for another year. I really didn't think this lot could get much worse, but they've done it. There is no way Alonso isn't already concerned.

It's hard to have a real debate on it here, because some people have had a hate boner for Tuchel since the moment he walked into Stamford Bridge and can't wait to slag him off at every turn.

Re-reading it I think you are right about the fake quotes from TC.

I suppose we have to hand it to the w**ker, as he is a chelsea player but I cant ever remember him putting in a performance like that in our blue shirt. Hopefully never darkens the club doorstep again...

Just another nail in the coffin of Chelsea FC. Not because of the sale of Trev but the treatment of him over the past 2-3 years. Absolutely vile and it’s great he gets to live somewhere as wonderful as Como for the next x amount of years. It’s irrecoverable now that we are fully BlueCo CFC LDN. Clubs dead.

Are the Dutch known for their caps?

Happy for Trev, he deserves better than BlueCo.

the ownership of this club disgust me. Most solid consistent performer sold because the vile owners continue to asset strip the club. Always welcome back and I hope you do so to a heros welcome. His sale is outrageous. lots wont be bothered but we are losing an England world cup semi finalist for chumps change.

Football is f**king dead. Bloke bleeds Chelsea blue, would happily play back up just to be here, and we're selling him anyway. EDIT: This is highly likely to be fake by the way. I stand by everything I said, but just thought I would let you know.

Conducted himself with a lot of class over the last few seasons. I still think we would be just as good as we are now maybe even better if we had just promoted from our academy and saved the billions. Good luck Trev.

It would be nice to see his name spelt correctly. Proper Chels. 😪

Around December 2025.

Yes, a glow in the dark orange one, so no fumbling.

I think Tuchel wanted them to defend not to surrender. It was like an " open house". All welcome in our penalty area.

I agree he has ultimately failed. I just disagree with the notion that it is all his fault and its as simple as making attacking changes to change the defend first mentaltiy that largely came about cause everyone was fatigued.

Tuchel there complaining that our DNA doesnt want to take the ball and control it, after leaving behind all the English players that can take the ball and control it and taking Henderson along to do quizzes and magic shows.

There's some blame to share. Neither Tuchel nor the England team are top drawer. Here is an article I can agree on: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/jul/16/thomas-tuchel-england-2026-world-cup-semi-final-exit-argentina

Sorry, yes, leaving on a loan - Marc Guiu will be a loan also . Badiashille is the player who will be representing the bomb squad.

Its literally the reason he was brought in, he himself said that was his job, he failed completely and just gave up on it. Bear in mind this was the next game after he had praised the players incredible mental strength after the Mexico and Norway games.

Hasn't Kellyman already agreed a further loan for this season?

BBC SportWorld Cup 2026: England squad debating Tuchel's tactics a...BBC Sport understands that Thomas Tuchel's defensive tactics in the World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina are being hotly debated by the England squad.I don't remember seeing him on the touchline screaming at the players to get forward. He gave up any attacking impetus and threat we had with his substitutions until we went behind. Then he decided to go all Wimblebomb slinging balls into Toney and Burn up front. If Southgate had done it he would rightly have been distroyed again. On Tuchel 100% totally.
