The rumour mill has been pretty silent about him coming here, slim chance of him coming here. I'm sure Arsenal would rather sell to a club in Manchester rather than London.

Take out the checkbook roman

People getting hyped when there's radio silence in the press about him coming to us.

Time to get some reinforcements please.

We have been absolute pants in the CL for the last couple of years, we are a level below Juve and probably Atletico too. We couldn't even beat arsenal in a FA cup final, not sure why you think with a weaker squad than last season we are going to be far better. Spurs absolutely dominated us at Wembley, and our team is absolutely useless under pressing, which any high level european side is very good at. Might want to turn down you expectations just a tad.

Rumblings in the press about him coming here http://www.corriere.it/sport/17_agosto_21/marchisio-juventus-addio-mediano-sull-orlo-cessione-17487c04-8665-11e7-bd49-2b2377bbc1e8.shtml?cmpid=tbd_e1ddbce4OS&refresh_ce-cp

Alexis is going to be very rich man if he doesn't leave this season. Easily going to be the biggest free agent contract ever. You'd think he could demand a 40+ mil signing bonus and clubs would be lining up to pay. It will likely be his last big contract so the wages are going to be astronomical.

Certainly looked the best of our loanees so far

Check their revenue compared to ours. They have an insane amount of cast to spend. They can easily buy a pogba or a greizman every season. For the last decade they had to pay huge amounts of interest from the Glazer purchase which limited their spending power.

Matic looking good right now. Don't think I've ever been so upset at a player leaving since Mata. With United revenue being so much higher than ours, they are going to be dominating the prem for the next decade at least, we should have been doing everything we could to keep them down for as long as possible.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte decided to sell Nemanja Matic to Manchester United, according to Paul Ince. He told Paddy Power: “There’s talk of Conte’s relationship with Abramovich and the sale of Nemanja Matic. “I can’t help but think that if you’re the manager who has just won the Premier League in your first season in England, who’s now in the Champions League, the decision of whether or not to keep Matic came from Conte and no one else. “I think people just like to say Abramovich was involved to make an exciting story. “You’ve got Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher saying he didn’t want to sell Matic – well I’m fairly sure he mustn’t have had a huge issue with him going, or he’d still be at the club. “So now you’re in a situation where everyone is asking how he could sell Matic to a rival like Man Utd, but at the end of the day that was his decision and he clearly thought that it would be okay. “Who Conte buys and sells comes from him and no one else. I refuse to buy anything else.”

My profile is 10 years old mate.

I have to agree, Conte is useless at changing tactics dynamically. Mourinho shut us down at old trafford. And Conte's FA cup final tactics weren't the best either.

Saw this posted on another forum: That's a real sh*t way to treat a player who has been with the club for 10 years. Feel gutted for him that his exclusion and exit was largely swept under the carpet by the fans'.

I hope whomever let Matic go gets the sack after we finish below the mancs this season.

I watched a bit of the game and he looked sharp, had one or two good chances. Had one moment of brilliance where he was unlucky to get his shot blocked. Got taken off near the end but I think he should of been left on, as the game opened up a bit. Impressive debut imo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WB8EXEFmZyg

I have to say it's early games but it seems like whenever Christensen is in the team we concede goals.

Bad news. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/636822/Joao-Cancelo-Chelsea-Valencia-Mateu-Alemany-Transfer-Gossip-Rumours-Latest-CFC-News Joao Cancelo to Chelsea: Valencia chief Mateu Alemany knows nothing about Blues interest

The board are going for a late late bid to save money. Tottenham can pay for the flights, we can pick him up from their medical facilities.

Been following the Chelsea youth guy on twitter and he is a big fan on young english players moving to clubs across europe to develop, which sounds like a good idea to me. Too much money in the English leagues to take care of youth.

f**k.

Can't believe people seriously thought Bale would choose us over United. The amount of hate he would get from spurs fans would be insane.

To be honest we should be bringing back Terry or Paulo to be our GK.

Should of gone for Bernardeschi, he's played wing back before. Shame Juve got him.
