Morgan Gibbs-White is one player put forward we could go after if we get the Enzo sale.

He didn’t sh*t his pants every time there was a back pass .. was decisive too..

Fabrizio has also said the reports out of France and Belgium that the deal is done are not true. No agreement, Monaco want to keep the player but cannot turn down a big offer.

He's on the short side, as are Barco and Caicedo. I'd like to see some big lumps of granite in the midfield.

Next week against Arsenal will be fun but I just don't see how we win. Our attack can cause problems but their defence will make it difficult. They outnumber us in midfield with power and dynamism. Our system enables us to have half a dozen defensive units but they don't feel cohesive which leads us to getting opened up. Hope Xabi has a masterplan.

When a team changes style and managers there are always a couple of players who completely turn around their form. Maybe Fofana could be one of them.

Playing like it’s a World Cup 3rd place play-off. Palmer not having a great game, yet still being able to pull the rabbit out the hat like he did for the goal, is a great sign.

And the Best news is I don’t believe he got any traffic citations driving to Stamford Bridge

Probably a secret agreement for Lacroix, we get their last top CB, give them a kid to give game time to whilst they scout out new CBs Or Wharton

So we bought him for the not inconsiderable sum of 40 million pounds and send him right away to Palace on loan? Is that right?

The Derby picture we had the whole terrace and the two tiers of seats above! Leeds 8-9000 Newcastle 8,000 Pompey was about 11 plus Brighton 15,000 approx. Palace Fulham the same Man City we were on all four sides of ground so hard to say. Grimsby loads paid cash to get in on an all ticket game. Got to be over 10,000 there. Such a great season to travel both home and away. You just never knew until you got there how many would be at the game!

Looks like Plan A is let them have the ball, win it back and just bomb forward. Very exciting. I'd like a little control after 2/3 - 0 but important to add we've not seen his first choice side yet with caicedo and palestra out and new signings due. Hopefully we're able to switch between that attacking and control in future. Be interesting to see what happens when we go behind, hopefully not any time soon though

Any way around the rules that Chelsea find gets people angry, other clubs and journalists alike. I bet this 'loophole' will be closed by next summer 2027.

Not done yet but getting closer according to Matt law:

Think we bought him for 2027 so he is still technically an Atalanta player.

In a back 3 its quite important that the two attacking mids contribute defensively when the wingbacks are out of postion, even Pedro did his job defensively. It's not the end of the world, he's already a very good player just something he will need to work on. Especially when we start facing the top teams.

Hey maybe they have to buy Disasi to make it work...

I thought we were loads better when Chaverria was on

How have they got an exemption for this. There is no U21 exemption and there is one player maximum from any PL club. Is this legit from Romano?

Loaned to Crystal Palace. I’m not sure how it works really with Disasi loaned there already. What a mess. But, it’s possible we have a gentleman’s agreement with Palace. Adam Wharton 👀

Can't really blame him for the first two goals. He probably hasn't trained with the team yet and has hardly trained since the world cup. He'll get up to speed.

I know what you mean, he couldn't do much about any of the goals and made some good saves. Good at coming for crosses as well. The defence will get better I feel, new system, some new players and the midfield protection will get better. He is an upgrade on Sanchez and at £7.5m it's a no brainer.

At today's game.

I’m not having that United performance or result. They were very lucky and cracks are appearing already. I still maintain that Carrick will be sacked by Christmas.
