Banter.

26m for Danilo. 23m for Aurier. 5m for Toljan. But you spend weeks trying to convince a bang average Arsenal player to play RWB for you and then get rejected by the lad anyway. Complete comedy. Even now Perreira is available. Bet we'll end up with Rafinha though.

Please. We're just spoilt, entitled fans panicking.

Can see Conte walking at the end of the season. Board will urge Roman to go after someone who won't challenge them to get anything done.

Right. Going to take a 4 hour break from all the transfer madness before I blow my lid.

Wanting your club to do better is entitlement? Genuinely irritating to see opinions like this tbh. And if I may indulge you, why shouldn't fans feel entitled? The club is nothing without fans. TV money, matchday tickets, everything is possible because of fans. Please save it.

Agreed about Tancredi. He's a troll.

Bit of a transfer rumour guide for some of you on here just in case you still don't know where to look/who to trust courtesy of the fellas over at r/chelseafc Think they've got it just about right.

This is the 3rd time I can remember you discounting the BBC as a source. Every football fan in this country knows they're by far the most reliable when it comes to transfer stories. They don't throw any sh*t at the wall. That story was on their website as well and on the radio. You honestly sound out of touch there. Again, it's hilarious that you choose not to believe the BBC but believe the Danilo state of mind stories from wherever you heard it.

We made a 14m bid and Spurs came in with 20m.

They posted that 2 hours ago.

That'll be 3 Leicester players in just over 1 year if we sign Mahrez and Drinkwater. Trying to turn this into Liverpool-Southampton or what?

Good one. That's 90k/week off our books.

The Sun reporting that Mahrez is on the verge of joining Chelsea. Normally a sh*t transfer source but they were the first to break the Luiz to Chelsea news last year.

Think you've gone out of your way to deny reality here. The fact that it's not on the club's official website doesn't make it false. Lukaku: Danilo was open to working with Conte until City came and matched Madrid's asking price. How is it you believe journos about Danilo's supposed stance but don't believe we made a bid for Lukaku? Carlo himself confirmed that Conte spoke to him about Sanches after our preseason game with Bayern. Not getting into the rest of your discussion with the other guy but I thought I'd point those out.

Probably threw in a pack of Carabao to sweeten the deal.

Maybe Roman stole his lunch once. He'd rather sell a player to United for 10 mil than sell to us for 100 mil.

Puts Willian on the bench. Gives us another serious goal threat other than Hazard to complement Morata. Win-win. I just don't want to see it diminish Musonda's chances.

All will be forgiven if this is actually serious and we f**k Spurs in the arse (as well as not losing Llorente to them obviously). Throw in Mahrez and I may smile again.

So in your honest opinion - The board had nothing to do with us having to play with Torres, Eto'o & Ba in 13/14 which handicapped our title challenge despite being in the mix? (Could have been 4 in 4 ya know?) - The board had nothing to do with the 15/16 meltdown? - You see absolutely no need for us to upgrade our first 11? Reckon it's a CL winning first 11? (And please don't mention the 11/12 squad) - You feel we should measure ourselves to fellow English teams who have been shambolic in Europe for about 6 years now rather than trying to measure up to Real/Bayern/Barca? Even Barca are being roasted to bits by their fans this summer for losing Neymar and they still have a better team than we do. This mentality is what will keep us in the "1 title every 3 years plus QF appearances and the odd SF appearance" state rather than absolutely dominating English football and legitimately challenging Europe's elite and perhaps winning the CL again. You don't think this mentality reeks of mediocrity (by CFC 2003-2013 standards)? No offense to you personally btw. Just genuinely curious.

Look at our net spend. Yet we're penny pinching for every deal. Amazing. Oh yeah and just as a reminder, we made: £120m in sales £153m for winning the league £100m from Nike and Yokohama Total = £373m from 16/17. We had a chance to spend big this summer and upgrade the squad for the next 5+ years. If we had done so with quickness and intent, we'd only need to spend the odd £30m-£60m here and there every summer for the next few years. But just like 2015, they Marina & co had to f**k it up again. I'm really upset today.

Complaining in June/July about this particular board is different to me. Not out of place. They've proven they can piss about until late in the window.
