That's essentially what I'm expecting. Him to not last the season.

Had some optimism for a week or so. All gone now. The players know the project is dead, regardless of manager. Enzo and Cucurella pushing to leave. Palmer won't be far behind, now Man Utd are doing well again. Then Caicedo probably. Just seems like we're in the midst of a decline into nothingness and lower mid table for the foreseeable future.

How? Did he infiltrate the Conservatives who were in charge then and force them to do it?

His price has been going down all morning! Some people saying £12m. Then £7m. Now £5m. He'll be free by the evening 🤣

Wonder if he'll go into coaching, or just enjoy his retirement.

Such a mountain out of a molehill. Who the hell cares if someone is watching training.

I like him on the ball, he plays it forward, not just sideways. Off the ball he needs a lot of work though. He is awful at set pieces and loses his man every time, and I feel he is weak in the tackle sometimes.

You think we've been dying for that sort of striker performance? He was trash. He controlled the ball successfully a few times, ran around. That's it. Standards are in the f**king dirt if that's what you want from a striker.

He totally summed himself up at the end last night when he had a chase on with the last defender and didn't even look at the ball and just elbowed him in the face instead. Truly a League 1 player.

I think it's time to acknowledge the elephant in the room that no-one outside of a few fans has really spoken about. Caicedo has been absolute trash, most of the season and looks a shadow of himself. In previous seasons he was box to box, putting in loads of effort, making crucial tackles, driving the ball forward. Basically all season he has looked like he isn't trying. The most we get out of him is some 5 yard passes back and forth, or a mis-timed challenge to give away a foul. Obviously, most of the team have been awful, but he seems to be flying under the radar. If it was a case that he was still trying his best and things weren't working - fine. But he has looked uninterested for 6-8 months.

This was the worry. That these "experienced, PL-proven" players we ere going to look at, would just be average mid-table players, like Tosin all over again.

Some of these players - jesus wept. They wouldn’t get into Wolves or Burnleys team. Sarr, Essugo, Delap. It’s beyond embarrassing the team this ownership have assembled.

The list I'd like to get rid of contains most of the squad, but being realistic and looking at who might even have any suiters, I think we'd be looking at (Bold = sold or loaned): Sanchez - Will stay. Either as 1st choice or fighting Penders for spot Jorgensen - Probably a Strasbourg loan or sale to small european club Slonina - Probably a sale to a lower div side Cucrella - Stays Tosin - Stays Badiashile - Most likely will attempt to get rid of him, but I can see it being a loan to France Colwill - Stays Sarr - I have no clue. Was hyped up, made a mistake, then disappeared. Loan to Strasbourg again? Hato - Stays Chalobah - Probably try to sell him again. I don't mind him as backup, personally. James - Stays Gusto - As much as I'd love him to go, I imagine he'll stay. Fofana - See above. Though depends what Alonso thinks of his attitude. Josh - I imagine he'll be loaned to a championship team Enzo - 50/50. Might stay, might go to Madrid. I'd prefer the latter personally. I think he's trash. Essugo - Probably a loan to italy or something Santos - Stays Caicedo - Stays Lavia - Stays (fit???) Neto - Stays Delap - I imagine we'll take whatever offer we can get for him. Probably to a newly promoted team, or maybe Newcastle or Everton. Guiu - Same. Whatever offer we can get. Estavao - Stays, until he decides he wants Barcelona. Garnacho - Might actually go. He's been very disappointing and I think we might look to move him on and get a new LW. Gittens - Probably stays simply due to the fact he's been injured and not in the shop window. Palmer - Probably stays Pedro - I'd like him to stay, but Barcelona are calling, so 50/50. Mudryk - Can we just sack him and get some money back? Disasi - Any offer we can get Anselmino - No f**king idea Kellyman - Any offer Paez - Any offer, but we won't get any. Probably loan. Jackson - I reckon we'll struggle to sell him so either another loan or he comes back into the team George - Probably sell him to Everton for a small amount David Fofana - Any offer

SPurs need 1 point from 2 games to stay up. Guranteed they get at least that against us now.

In that scenario, does Howe return to bournemouth?

I honestly found Estevao a little underwhelming, considering all the hype. Had a few bright moments and obviously got bags of talent, but most of the time when he played in the PL he looked like a child against men, just bullied and out-muscled. Be interesting to see if he spends any of this time off bulking up at all.

sh*t player, sh*t attitude. Another fantastic piece of business by NoClueCo.

Since the season's been sh*t anyway, I really wish we'd just given Josh like 20+ games and given him a real chance at settling in and improving.

Only because Liverpool were walking around. It's not like we put in any real extra effort.

I can't stand that guy. He's so cringy, spouting his catchphrases every 30 seconds.

I thought that about liverpool winning the league. Now it's happened twice and who gives a f**k.

They've conceded 6 goals in the whole CL run. Strong defences win things.

£30 might be enough

Havertz and Madueke will 100% be giving interviews afterwards about "this is why I left Chelsea", like Ashley Cole did when we won the CL. Shame they were both fairly useless here.

Couldn't give a toss. Relegated or not. Chelsea is all that matters. And we're in the f**king bin.
