21m bid for Zappacosta.

Looks like our 2nd/3rd/4th choice situation again.

No one sell itsown best players, except weird situation like Neymar bid.

So it's quite normal to look for other choiches.

Moreover Conte is able to transform an average player in a good player putting him in the best squad contest for him.

I'm going to reserve any comments until after the window closes then address those who go ballistic if anyone criticises the board. So far not looking too clever. 

Makes me wonder why some of those who are online are so defensive of the Board even when they make huge mistakes.  I bet your government would love its populace to be just like that.

I know he's not our player but Cancelo injured himself in training and out for 2 months.

I think we have just to wait for a left wing, then the market is complete.

no way

I think they are as good as Cahill now, with obviously potential to be better.

Pay attention to Diego Laxalt frome Genoa FC.

Left wing back, young, in the national team of Uruguay.

It's not a deadline day, its a f***** Thursday for Chelsea and Arsenal. 

Weren't  we interested in celtics mousa dembele some time back? 

Fikayo Tomori to Hull on loan apparently

 Excellent news if we don't sign a crocked average player no club seem to want. Apart from, another doubtful  "headline".

It's not. He's overrated and injured.

Honestly cant believe how bad this window has been, all the money on player sales, nike money etc , we could have easily done a psg

I am still so delusional that i am sitting here praying to hear that in an effort to square away PSG's FFP anomalies Chelsea have closed out a late deal handing over Diego Costa and £50m and Marco Verratti is in the process of signing for us.

Sky reporting that Barkley was at Cobham today after fee was agreed and still rejected. I don't want him but bloody hell.

We pretty much got rejected by B level players all day [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Something serious is wrong when retards like barkley are knocking us back 

Someone is coming. But tomorrow.

I know.

But does Granoskaia know?

I guess average players really are scared of our club. Honestly did not know that

Idiots wasted all their time on garbage like Barkley only for him to back out last minute. Talk about egg on your face.

What a load of crap! 

So... After all that, you have a squad that's barely improved if at all. 

A few bad games in a row, a few injuries and no surprise if Conte walks.

And noone can blame him.

Still, I should be happy Barkley did back out. :}

 

 

 

I called it close enough I said I week ago we will sign no one or make last minute moves which failed and blame everyone else we only sign one player and pretty much make a laughing stock by the rest.

Yet we signed two decent players on Deadline Day that will help strengthen and improve our squad. People laughed at us last year when Luiz and Alonso came in, it didn't work out too bad did it in the end.

I believe the Barkley situation was down to us and him deciding January would be the better time to make the move, we'll get him for less and he'll be fit to play.
