It could also be a nightmare. Without adding to the club, we're likely finishing outside of the top 4. I don't know about you, but I absolutely hate it when Chelsea are not playing CL football. I know we are slightly spoiled, but I want to go back to playing Champions League football every season.

Chelsea don't owe anyone anything. Eden is still under contract, if they decide they want to hold on to him for one more season they are well within their rights. Same thing applies to the fee they're asking for. They shouldn't settle for less than what they feel is fair just to keep the player happy. I love Hazard, but you signed a contract, you honour it.

Stopping the club buy players in the winter window would be a reward not a punishment, we're World class in throwing money away in January.

Have you actually watched him play regularly though? The kid is phenomenal at finding space and creating chances. He has great pace and is already an elite dribbler. He has plenty of time to iron out the kinks in his game. His potential is very high. Don't just look at the numbers, he's a great talent.

Oscar? It's ridiculous to compare Oscar with Coutinho. Coutinho is a world class player.
I can't even remember anything good about Oscar when he was here other than that goal against Juventus. Even Ramires was a much better player.

Big no to Zaha. Talented yes, but he doesn't come across as a player with a winning attitude. Sign me up for Richarlison or Jovic though.

We are in trouble if Sarri remains with the club beyond this season. I don't care that they finished 3rd. If that's your only reasoning as to why he should stay, then you must not have watched the full season. The competition around us was dreadful. The fact that they finished 3rd after only winning 7 of their final 16 league matches proves how bad the rest of the teams were. This was also one of the lowest goal scoring seasons the club has had since Abramovich bought the team. His refusal to adapt and make necessary changes hurt this team. He kept going back to a losing formula despite the bad results, and it wasn't until he was under pressure by the fans and the press that he finally gave in, and by no coincidence they started playing better football. If our transfer ban gets delayed, I do not trust him making any signings. The two players he brought in and swore by were huge failures. His tactics and mentality are not suited for the Premier League.

I don't intend to cause any controversy here, but how does raising money in a friendly football match prevent anti-Semitic chants? There are also other religious and racial groups that are subjected to far more discrimination than Jewish people are, why not dedicate this match to racism and discrimination in general instead of just singling out one group?

I am more sarri out than in, but do not think he 'wanted' to give CHO and RLC the mins they got.  Especially CHO.  It is no coincidence their playing time increased post crowd annoyance.  As did the Kova/Barkley constant sub being used less frequent.  He is not daft, the crowd made their feelings known...  It's just there in plain sight.   "you dont know what you're doing" being sung by 99% of the crowd says so
We were told prior to him joining he does not use youth.
 
It's why I chuckle at times when i see people expecting Mount, Tomori, James, Abraham, etc in the team next year.  It just isnt happening (with any manager for tha fact)
 
I like Sarri, i think he has a decent idea of football, just dont think he is a top manager. 

There is a 21 day window following notice of appeal outcome from FIFA to escalate the appeal to CAS.We received formal notice from FIFAs appeal committee on 8 May 2019
Its worth looking at the timings of Real Madrid’s case . Bear in mind originally they received a two window ban
RM received formal notification from FIFAs appeal committee on 8 September 2016
RM lodged their appeal on 14 September 2016. At that time they made a request for provisional matters under Article A37 . That in effect is a request to suspend the ban.Their appeal at this point was no more than notice of appeal and not the full details of the grounds for the appeal.
On 16 September 2016 CAS agreed to suspended the ban until their appeal was determined.
What RM did then was quite clever RM agreed to have any sanction imposed as soon as CAS had made a decision. That decision was reached on 20 Dec 2016 but the written notification wasn’t issued until 5 May 2017.
Why that was clever was ultimately the ban was reduced to one window namely January 2017. If they had waited till the written reasons they would have missed the  far more important Summer 2017 window. Even if had been two windows those would have been spread over two seasons meaning in each season they had a window during which they would have been a able to register players.
If CAS are consistent my guess is  that if Chelsea have already issued notice of appeal to CAS then we will hear in the next week or so about the application to stay the ban.
 

Really is if true, spoils next season as well as the final. I was really looking forward to him continuing to improve next season.
 
Step on up Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic.
