I won't argue. But we're not 1 or 2 players away from challenging we're miles away.  There's a lot of issues in the squad.

Incredibly amateurish decision not to move Kante on this summer and sign a top midfielder.

Still great on his day but the wrong side of 30, 1 year left of his big big money contract and far too injury prone to rely on.

But I stand by the biggest thing we can do to improve the squad is to sign some top quality wingers.  That allows us to move Mount back to his actual position instead of trying to pretend he's a wide player. Our creativity suffers massively when we end up with Havertz and Mount on the wings and no real pacey wide player to stretch defences.

Leao - Auba - Sterling

Mount - Jorginho - Kovacic

Cucurella - Koulibaly - Fofana - Reece

(Both our keepers suck)

Seems like a realistic team for us at the end of the window if Leao signs and it seems creative enough for me.

It looks good on paper, albeit the midfield still needs work

It's a process.  Obviously De Jong would slot right in but I think it's far more likely Jorginho sees out his final year here before we look to bring in a holding midfielder.

Which is another reason we simply had to move Kante on.  Having 2 of our starting midfielders with 1 year left on this contracts is terrible squad planning.

It's like we've learned nothing from Rudiger and Christensen this summer.

I like thisline up but even with 6 new players in your side, the weakness still looks glaring to me.

2 years from European and World chapions and it takes 7 new players to make us a challenging side, and as you say still can't play out from the keeper. Sad really.

I'd be delighted with that team.

Paul Joyce claiming we are after both Leao and Gordon. The former is keen on a move and a deal will be worked on this week that may include a Chelsea player + cash. Gordon is set to be completed this week in excess of 50m. 

I mean Tuchel can bring in what ever attacker he likes, but unless the midfield is sorted we will have more matches like Leeds.

Paul Joyce has close ties to Everton I believe right? So he likely has some knowledge what is going on there but these links to Leao who apparently would cost more than Lukaku did seems pie in the sky.

 
Apparently Leicesters Tielemans is available for 38mill as the foxes want to sell rather than him leave for free next summer.

What you think @Gol15 the midfield steel we need?

@foxedup are those rumours true, are you actively looking to sell him?

I've always rated Tielemans but apparently he isn't the quickest player. Probably depends on where we would play him

#Chelsea have submitted a bid for Dynamo Moscow's Arsen Zakharyan.

Who??

 
Seems quite a positive reaction to this news, with Di Marzio reporting he is on his way to sign. Some fans think he is good enough to join the front 3 right away...
