Hate to complain but no RLC or Chalobah. No youth movement at all

Selling Cesc to open up number 4 for Luiz? J/K It will be weird to see him in a different number

0-0 at half with that boring ass lineup.

Until Oscar and Matic are taken out of the starting 11, it's going to be very limited and boring up front. Batman should take Oscar's spot and play up front with Costa. And somebody like RLC or Chalobah should take Matic spot. They offer more going forward. Kante can definitely handle the holding duties by himself.

Great team but we would have to sell two or three of our other guys, probably Cesc and Oscar

Where the heck is Chalobah?

Abraham is a youth player, which equates to never playing for chelsea.

Interesting that some numbers like 3, 6 and 9 are still available. Would have thought somebody would have taken them. Could have seen Ruben or Chalobah taking 6. Or Kante given the 6 and Ruben take 7

This club is annoying with their youth decisions

Still a lot of talk of Gabriel coming here. Sounded like he played his last game for Santos yesterday.

I know this is the Michy thread but I couldn't find the number thread. A friend of mine said he heard that RLC might be taking the 7 shirt? Any news on this?

To be honest I like it way more than the Adidas kits. The Adidas kits are overdone. This is simple and clean.

Anybody see a Barcelona's new nike kit for next year? No sponsor on the shirt. Looks really nice without the sponsor on there.

Maybe I missed it so will we be wearing Adidas next year or does the deal end immediately?

Has to be Azpi. Should be no argument

Was Allegri at Milan when Pato was there?

I know I will hear it for this but I am not opposed to having AVB back. If the club is committed to the future and being financially responsible then he is a guy that can bring a brand of football that everybody will like. He was definitely not ready to manage chelsea when he was here. Not mature enough and could not gel with the senior players that were here. This is a different team now.

Interesting Pato went with number 11

I would assume he wears the vacated 7 that Ramires had. 7 has always been Pato's preferred number.

I for one am excited to get Pato, especially for 10 mil. The kid only has one direction to go. He was arguably the best young player in the world at one time and had to deal with hitting bottom. Coming to this league may provide some big motivation for him. It's not a huge fee so not a ton of pressure

The Jose supporters are comical at this point. They went from Jose is the guy that will lead us the title, to Jose will get us to the top 4, and now it's Jose will keep us from being relegated. Cmon! You can never admit that Jose is part of the problem! A major part! This cranky, smug man needs to go.

Meanwhile, Lukaku has what...10 PL goals this year.

Jose ain't going to do sh*t. He will keep sending the same players put there and chelsea will continue to loan out hundreds of youth players, never to get a real chance in the Chelsea first team.

Tell that to the clueless man making the team sheet every week.

Lukaku looking absolutely brilliant today
