How long will you repeat that? We've lost 8 games this season, that's double than what we lost last season, and it's only October. It's very simple: somethings gotta give. You can keep blaming whatever or whoever you want, but the fact of the matter is that Mourinho doesn't seem capable of fixing it.

So another disappointment here. Time to start thinking who our new manager will be...

So it didn't happen, who would've thought...

Another youngster for Vitesse i guess... Oh wait, he's 27? Who the hell is this guy?

Personally i think it's already decided. Man City is looking very good, they have now added De Bruyne and we look like sh*t. If we look at Arsenal and Man U, i think our second place is pretty solid though. Theoretically, everything is still possible of course. But I'm pessimistic in general.

Where are those guys who said we'd be fine now?

I think you have it backwards, regret selling Lukaku? He is still sh*t, a very average striker. He looks nothing better than he did years ago. KDB however is a completely different story. Great player, great vision, has improved a lot at Wolfsburg. You can really see his progress from years ago. He's a player that needs games to stay in top form so if City give him that, we'll soon be regretting him leaving.

I think you need to check your info again. Last season he played in 21 league games and ended up playing for more than 2000 minutes. He's not "clearly second choice". Also, Pepe is 32 years old. Varane is their future. He's not going anywhere. We were linked with him earlier this year, Mourinho even made some comments about him. But in the end nothing concrete happened because there's no chance.

Well that's it then, it's not happening.

We made a mistake, sh*t happens. Can we get over it already? The press will have a field day everytime he does something right... I can already imagine the headlines when he'll score against us.

Indeed, he was never given a chance. f**king Cuadrado got more minutes to establish himself than KDB did and KDB never did f**k all like Cuadrado did every single game.

The way Everton is handling this is just disgraceful if you ask me. Should they just sell? No. But in this case, a player has clearly told them that he wants to leave. We are offering plenty of money for him. He can come to one of the best clubs in Europe en take another step in his development, but Everton decides to be selfish and ignore the wishes of the player. If a Chelsea player handed in a transfer request and we would block his move, i would be very ashamed of our club. Stones is being a professional here, he could've refused to play to put pressure on the club, but he showed the club respect and played anyway. The club however decided to show him no respect whatsoever.

Indeed, he has the advantage because of the height of the transfer fee. If City didn't think he was an improvement, they wouldn't have paid such an enormous amount of money. He is a great player and he will be a great player for Man City. I still think we shouldn't have sold him, but i can understand why we did it so i wouldn't call it a mistake. These things happen.

The number going around (including add ons) is 40m£. That's already stupid money

So it looks like Stones isn't coming. Maybe it's time to start focusing on another target? We are really wasting time here.

Ok.

But if he really wants the move, wouldn't a refusal to play be more effective and put more pressure on the club? Like de gea is doing.

If that's your opinion i can respect that. You have yours, i'll have mine. [emoji4]

Well let's agree to disagree!

I'd imagine he already made his intentions clear to the club so what difference does it make... I just find it strange the press make such a big deal of it.

Why not? Ivanovic was a liability again against West brom...

Says who? We'll see mate, only a couple of days left...

What does a transfer request even mean? I don't understand it. Clubs can just ignore them can't they?

I usually am yes, but it depends on the target. Pedro looked very unlikely, especially because everybody was basing their stories on some random twitter message. But their is a very big difference between signing Pedro and signing Pogba. Pogba is a super star, i believe he is to big of a name for Chelsea and that he will end up at Barca next year. I guess we'll have to wait and see...

Because there is literally 0% chance that he's signing for us.
