£5 donation says that pedro scores or assists the second half?

Agree with you on RLC. Pedro is running the show and is bound to either get another or an assist. Reckon Willian should come off about 60mins for CHO.

Not sure you were watching the same game as the rest of us.

Emerson is having a shocker.

Dare i say give Zola an interim / trial position and see whether he has the same effect Solskjaer has had with Man Utd. Not making top 4 with Sarri, so what do we have to lose.

Great start from Higuain, i know he is now a bit older, but the one season Higuain worked under Sarri he scored 38 league goals in 36 appearances. 83mins per goal.

I would love Mata back at Chelsea

Reading this makes me think that Fekir could be one of those players to make a massive difference for us. Do you think that Sarri would sign Fekir to supply that attacking threat from midfield? If not possibly another player that could do this would be James Rodriguez, he might be available at the right price, Real dont seem to want him and Bayern might want to end his loan, not playing a great deal. I agree with what Delnino has said about Alonso, we need a new LB, Azpi should not be dropped though, just needs more time to adapt. As for the forwards i feel we are making a good move with Higuain, he hopefully will do a good job on the short term giving Abraham the opportunity to come in and lead the line if Sarri feels he up to the task. Willian can be phased out to bring CHO through. This would very much go against the norm with youth and Chelsea though! Im very much hoping that Hazard stays this summer, but if not the Pulisic signing will become integral. You never know, if Hazard was to leave it could be the catalyst for us to really kick on, Tottenham improved as a team after Bale's departure, as did Liverpool after losing Suarez, we could end up with enough money to build a more balanced squad.

I really hope the club does not consider this. Wtf could we buy with 35m, nothing decent, this guy has potential to be world class, simple solution here, play him until the end of the season and take it from there, he will still be hot property come July, but maybe by then we could have convinced him to stay. Sarri, just put some faith in this kid, he is already better than Willian and Pedro.

This whole situation has been handled horribly. We have an outrageous talent on our hands with a contract due for expiry in 18 months, if he was getting played week in week out as he deserves to, do you think he will be hesitating to signing a new contract? Probably not. Selling now to Bayern will be a terrible bit of business, if we play him for the rest of the season, hopefully that will be enough to convince him to sign in the summer, if he doesnt i am sure we will be able to sell him for more by then. But knowing the club we will either sell him and watch his value climb or let him see out his contract on the bench watching Willian and Pedro put lacklustre performances in ahead of him.

I read something that he was going to come to us on loan, Morata has also been linked with AC. So wouldnt be surprised if its all linked in some way.

I like Hazard as a false 9 personally, seems more effective there, most of his goals have come from that position, the way he can take on defenders and hold up the ball is so much more dangerous down the middle. Though most preferably would to have two other goal threats either side to interchange with, i like hudson odoi and Pulisic as options. Jadon Sancho looks like an incredible talent, and english, tearing it up with Dortmund and is only 18, he'll be pricey but it will be sure to keep going up. Memphis Depay could be a good option as well, i also like Anthony Martial if we can get him, can play down the middle or on the wing. Most preferred 5 options for the three positions would be - Hazard, CHO, Martial, Sancho & Pulisic. May be worth keeping Pedro around to make up the numbers with him approaching the twilight of his career, but i feel Willian and Pedro although both have been great for the club over the years dont quite cut it anymore, at least one should go.

Like the sound of this guy, not as well as kovacic though, all we need is 5 players to fill the 3 positions. Kante, jorginho, Barella, RLC, barkley. I cant see many circumstances when more than 2 would be injured, in the unusual circumstance that this did happen we always have luiz that can step into midfield or could temporarily change formation to a 4-2-3-1. Over fill the positions and players that dont get played will always get pi$$ed off and want out.

Funny how there was that while thing with Lukaku and Morata and they both turned out a bit rubbish. Morata should be sold as long as we can get 50ish, or loaned to increase his value. Doing us no good here walking around sulking whilst putting in mostly disappointing performances.

I will be livid if he gets sold to Bayern. Anyone can see this kid is an amazing footballer, he has such great skills and ball control, electric pace, his delivery is excellent and he can finish. Give him some game time in the league and he will impress, i am sure he can be our new answer for right wing. Sell him to Bayern and sit and watch rip it up over and be left kicking ourselves whilst spending 70m on players that turn out to be crap.
