This is the biggest waste of money in sporting history.

This is the biggest waste of money in sporting history.

Certainly looks that way at the moment. Only hope is perhaps that Blueco sells up and we get a better owner at some point. But most owners these days do not impress. We were lucky to have somebody like Roman who had money and actually loved the club and football enough to want to win things.
It will probably take relegation to persuade Blueco to move on but the way things are going that might happen sooner rather than later.

Well said.
It pains me to say it, but I am getting strong Nottingham Forest vibes with our club now. Two time European Cup winners, run horrendously behind the scenes, employing a succession of weak, underperforming managers that fail to get near the elite manager that was once in place. Ultimately relegated to spend an entire generation in a footballing wilderness and cas strapped on the edge of a financial abyss.

The PSG game was one of the most painful performances I have ever sat through, possibly THE most painful. I felt less pain losing cup finals, and it was a different type of pain too. This is something I have never felt as a Chelsea fan, probably as close to heart broken as I have ever been when it involves this club.
The way PSG just toyed with us, playing the ball about effortlessly, they were brilliant and we just had to sit and accept it. I have had to mostly just reflect over the past few days because I had so few words left in me to really go in on this sh*t like I usually do, because that performance left me feeling more hopeless about Chelsea than I ever have in my life. For the first time ever, we looked like Champions League minnows, this is what the owners, directors, coaches and players have reduced us to. The way PSG played their football is nothing more than a pipe dream for us, this group will never ever be capable of getting anywhere close to it, and if any Chelsea fan actually thinks that is possible, then they are living in a completely different reality (and I know there are a lot still out there). I mean, do some of these fans even watch our football? How do they look at us and then look at PSG or Bayern Munich and think this lot has any chance of reaching that level? These squads are brilliant with elite football IQ, where is that in this Chelsea squad?
I can't even delude myself into the belief that things could eventually work itself out and this squad grows into something special.....Well I never really did in the first place, but you always look for something to put your hopes on. I don't even think James, Caicedo or Palmer get into that PSG side. James doesn't have the legs to play at the pace PSG play and is a permanent injury risk, Caicedo is too reckless, Estevao may make it, Palmer doesn't even look half the player he was when he first joined and has an ever increasingly unlikeable ego, and as for the rest......it hurts to even think about. There are actual idiots amongst our fanbase looking forward to the day Mudryk comes back. Seriously, look how pathetic things have become that you have had to distort reality and pin your hopes on a guy who was so sh*t before his drugs ban that he was relegated to playing nothing but Conference League group games against teams you had never heard of.
There is no future where this squad reaches a high level. Face reality, Clear Lake f**ked us, and no matter what the twat Finkelstein says, it's not "f**king obvious" they are building one of the best sides in the world. The only painfully obvious thing is how our club has been humiliated, embarrassed, mocked relentlessly, and run in way I haven't seen at this level in a long time. There is no future for this club under this ownership other than a painful one.

This is 100% a good thing, particularly given our total lack of pre-season. I know that we all want to see the hard Brexit, chest-beating, hamstring-snapping wasted effort that British people mistake for passion, but Maresca deserves credit for us being in third despite this being the case. Particularly impressive considering how many minutes we must have played with 10 men.

Who was that kid on the RW for Barcelona?
Looks like a Temu Estevao

Exactly! Only buy what's necessary for the team.
Signings like Quenda, Estevao or Essugo where it's cheap but has potential superstars is cool and all since we have Strasbourg now and it creates a conveyor belt of talent going strong.

Having Pedro really makes you question the insanity of persisting with Jackson for 2 years

I mean he’s definitely a top shelf dribbler, just not in a footballing sense.

I think after yesterday it's Saka who should be called Evil George.

Trev has to stay.

Incredible performance.... speechless lets put all this energy into the new season

An additional ban for the gloves. At least get some colour coordinated ones!

Think I’ve pinpointed the exact moment he took it.

Problem was the effects wore off way too quickly. He should sue his supplier.

Better than Sanchez (who isnt). Better than Jackson up front. Get it done

He’s a far better keeper than Onana ever was, would be very happy with this one instant upgrade on what we have and in his prime.

He held out for 300k pw, he genuinely believes he’s C.Ronaldo & Messi rolled into one. Absolute madness.
If we’re breaking the wage structure… it would need to be a game changer.
First great decision by BlueCo.

Several months ago, 25 million for Sancho seemed like an absolute steal, but now I'm on the fence. His 'form', similar to quite a few other players, has just reflected the performance of the team overall. It's all about the wages now, apparently, and if he can't accept a cut and goes back to Utd, I won't be devastated. If he does agree to a cut and signs for us, then I'll welcome him as a decent addition to the squad. We can (and likely will, if he does not sign) do a lot worse for the money. He definitely is not worth f**king up our wage structure for, though.

Osimhen only scoring 12 goals with his feet in open play in the dog sh*t Turkish league and demanding £400k a week is hilarious. May as well just sign Andy Carroll from Bordeoux.

We won’t be signing him, think it will just be Delap and Jackson going into next season.

WE WON IT ALL WE WON IT ALL #SETCOMPLETED

I hugged total strangers. I love Chelsea 😆

If Maresca had played the right starting 11 we'd have won 8 - 0
