i feel totally uninspired by our transfer targets this year  ,oh for the days of Joe Cole,Hernan Crespo ,Damien Duff ,Zola ,Hazard,Kante,  to this summers targets vvd ,lukaku the fellow from monaco where are the stars te players that get the blood flowing

Ahhh, our annual early June "I don't know what the club is up to, but I'm disappointed anyway" post! 

Who would you prefer? Messi? Ronaldo? 

Garbage.

You know the transfer window isn't even open yet right?

You know that anyone we have been linked to so far is pure rumour right? 

I bet you was one of those knobs slagging off the Alonso signing before he had even kicked a ball for us. 

This thread and any created like it (so prematurely) can f**k off.

No no no, the familiarity (read: predictability) of this thread makes me feel so happy and fuzzy!

Out of interest, who should we be targeting ?

You don't even know who our transfer targets are, and if you believe every newspaper report we have also been linked with Alaba, Alex Sandro, Boateng and Sanchez? What more do you want?

The club are obviously working on getting the right players that suit our system, it's not about signing big names, as long as we get players who will make the team better, you can't ask for much more than that.

Lukaku & VVD are top class players & would improve our squad vastly, can't understand how those targets would be uninspiring.

Why so sad ???

I agree actually. How dare we not sign anyone a month before the rules state we can? Haven't we heard of pre-contract agreements? I expected Lukaku, Sánchez and Bakayoko to have been all tied down by now. Won't someone please think of the fans?!

I don't expect to see hardly any signings this summer...maybe one or two to replace players leaving but the majority of change will be from those returning from loans elsewhere or promotion of youth team players into the first team squad...

Firstly its alot harder to buy players now then it was back then. Player prices are much higher and there is much more competition. Back then we were in our own market and we were just starting off so we didnt care how much a player cost. Now the club runs alot more stricter, i believe in Emenalo and Conte.

I think we will land somewhere inbetween what you just wrote and signing several world class stars.

I'm more annoyed our kit hasn't been released yet...

Why? We can't release the new kit before the contract with Adidas expires. I expect that the homekit will be released on the 1st of July, when our contract with Nike starts.

I read the Adidas contract ran out 5 days ago?

Can't your crystal ball predict our signings?

I don't know where you read that, but after a quick google search all the articles i have read about it says that the Adidas-contract expires on June 30 and that the Nike-deal starts the day after (July 1).

Seem to remember 1 July was the date for the switch from Umbro to Adidas as well, and quite similar impatience 

Not only is the window not open and we will have u too September, I feel conte likes to do things less publicly, we may well all end up disappointed after hoping for 3 or 4 world class players but as of yet.....

We've been linked to the likes of Sanchez, Tolisso, Bakayoko, Sandro, James Rodriguez, Lukaku, Morata and you feel "uninspired".....Damn!

 

If your expecting us to go after the likes of Suarez, Neymar and Bale then your going to be seriously disappointed 

#IslamicStateClaims they are the reason behind Chelsea not having confirmed any signings yet and it has nothing to do with the transfer window not being open
