IMO I would get rid of the moaners and the bad seeds asap new start new manager and hopefully some good new signings. If he doesn’t want to be part of that then so be it on to the next one

Shut up you prick what part of that isn’t true. What he is doing is a scummy move. He’s using his kids as leverage to get the best deal he can for himself. If you want to leave that’s fine go find another club but when you come out with a big sob story saying you miss your kids and it’s hard to see them grow up on an iPad... I get that I have my own children and have to travel abroad with work some times. After the World Cup where you have played well why come out and say “I haven’t decided yet I might run my contract down”. He is trying to push down his price so we get less money for him. He has probably already been speaking to Real Madrid.

I did hear somewhere that Chelsea had verbally agreed a new contract of 340k per week. If he doesn’t commit to a new contract you have to sell him as he has 2 years remaining on his contract and you don’t want to get in a situation we are in with that scum Coutoius who was so desperate to see his kids he is now talking about seeing his contract out for another year.... anyway I would demand Isco and Asensio for a swap with Hazard and they can keep their 200m. Isco is world class and Asensio won’t be far behind him soon.

Come on mate are you serious.... Ronaldo is a commercial only signing the guy scored goals for fun and is one of the best players that ever put on a pair of boots. Yeah he can’t go past players with ease as he has in the past but his goals per game ratio is incredible. And what are you talking about with Jorginho.. it’s 50m and 7 for Sarri... that’s a good price in today’s market he’s 25 and been playing at a high standard for a few seasons compair that with Savic at Lazio who they are talking 135m for... Higuain is 30 mate and Juventus will have to sell players hence why we are in for Rugani the point you are trying to make is reduculas your just talking negative nonsense

@Odiddy I’m not sure how old you are or how long you having been watching chelsea for but I can’t imagine it has been a long time as some of your points are incorrect. Lampard was chased by Barcelona when they were at their peak and Ronaldinho who at the time was the best player in the world tried to get Lampard to sign over a couple of seasons. I don’t want to start mugging you off cos I assume you are a young lad who probably plays too much FIFA rather than actually watching or playing football it you are well off on Lampard mate and I suggest you get yourself on chelsea website and order some dvd’s Of past seasons. My Dad talks a lot about Charlie Cooke but I don’t have the same appreciation as I never saw him play as it was before my time

What a great signing chelsea have done so well to pip city to him can’t wait to see him alongside kante next year buzzing!

I’d agree with you on Salah if anyone says they saw that coming they are a liar. But KDB looked like a player from early on. We did t get to see him much in the league but when he played in pre-season he impressed.

Looking at our options I’d keep Morata this year to give him another run in the side. Yes he goes down with the slightest touch but so did Drogba when he arrived. I remember him getting booed when he got subbed for Kezman. I am not comparing him to Drogba because they are completely different players but my point is what are our other options Higuain? Mertens? Both over 30 never played premier league and wil probably need time to settle in. It was Morata’s first season as a number 1 striker and playing a different style of football it may help him fulfil his potential rather than playing with his back to goal. Morata just feels like another de Bruyne where he could go Dortmund rip it up and suddley he is a 100m forward. The way he started the season gives me hope that there is a player there to work with and playing in the right system and given time to settle in to a new environment he could be the striker we are looking for

I can only speak for myself but I think the way he handled himself in the last few months was a disgrace and we should have easily qualified for the CL. If he would have handled himself with a bit of class he would have probably still been in a job. It’s the same way he went out of Juve and fell out with Agneli and apparently he’s not welcome back. The fact a lot of players are glad to see him go tells you what type of person he is.

I agree with you 60m for a player who turns 30 soon and struggles with consistency. There are so many good wide players out there we could get for around that money it would be mad not get the deal done

I agree at city he would have started ahead of fernandinho. He is a touch of class him with kante and golovin next year could be brilliant. What a difference to this year in the middle.

It will be announced straight after Jorginho imo this ones been done for a couple of weeks

I would slightly disagree on this one too. Sarri plays a much higher line and the aim is to draw the press in by playing short almost risky passes from Abidol, Koulibaly and Jorginho to work the ball out wide and create overloads. Where as I find city play at the back in a much more safer way..... just my opinion I don’t want to get in an arguement about something so irrelevant. Whilst we are talking centre back Rugani is a good signing. Juve have good centre back but need to raise money and he is the only defender that they could get this amount for as they have signed a guy from sampdoria on a free. I can see him and Christiansen being a great long term partnership

Courtois has to go regardless we can’t lose him on a free next year

Apparently Jorginho is getting the number 8 so may mean that Barkley is going out on loan. I think Drinkwater is gone too even tho I’d like cesc gone but on one is going to buy him

I don’t see chelsea playing Martial as a number 9 to me he is a contingency plan if Hazard leaves for Madrid smoke and mirrors about playing him through the middle

I reckon Drinkwater is gone regardless who we get in but the other is a tough one as I think Chelsea would like to get Cesc off the wage bill but realistically who’s gonna take him so I can see Barkley being loaned

Yeah I see that this afternoon

Zouma is a good defender but looks panicked everytine he has a ball at his feet. He can’t play out the back which looks like we are going that way.

Chelsea were odds on favourites this morning but Fulham are now 1/10 to sign him so looks like he’s gone there

If Jorginho, Sari and Golovin come they would have to get rid of Cesc, Bakayoko and Barkley Could spell the end for RLC as he would be 5th choice. Personnally I don’t see us signing Jorginho as Seri is in London today for talks with Chelsea and they both play a very similar role of dropping deep to distribute the ball I would also like to see Mount in the 1st team squad next year and get a few games in cups etc

It’s his first touch which is terrible Icardi has a great first touch. He is not an all action striker but much better than batshuayi

I am always dubious when a player hits his 30’s with no premier league experience signs for big money as our league is all about pace. Once you give him a year to settle in he will be 31 with a low resale value and a big wage. Not money good forward ms around at the moment. I must admit I was very hopeful with Morata and still think he could come good but his head just doesn’t seem in it at Chelsea. I bet he goes somewhere and gets a she’s load of goals

Is that a serious question?

Fabregas’ legs have gone. Watch his positioning he drops deeper and doesn’t play higher up he collects the ball off the centre back to distribute. For me this is the area where we need to improve the most. Barkley has been injury prone for Everton and was bought as an investment and I think if Chelsea could they would get Fabregas off the wage bill they would but his wages are so high he will see out his contract. RLC needs a chance but I would not put all my eggs on him as you need legs around him as he doesn’t cover enough pitch. Seri Golovin RLC Kante as our main midfielders would really move us on next year
