Actually, if no Ox means more Tamori, then I'm really not bothered, an upgrade on Moses was on everyone's mind, not Chamberlain. Tamori might even have a higher ceiling than Ox, in that position. 

Who is Tamori?

Close this painful thread please...

The Ox will realise his mistake soon.
Close the thread please. 

Guys why so bitter, who gives a f**k he picked the dippers because he didn't have teh grit to try and push his way into the Chelsea 11, it's a compliment he picked the easy team, it's laughable, we want winners, winners have a certain mentality, teams like arsenal and liverpool don't breed that, he is where he belongs.

Yup. 

Still surprising, I can't see him being a starter at Liverpool in CM. So is a bit of a weird transfer for them and him. 

Wasn't a weird transfer for us, he would be a great utility player in a squad actually fighting on 4 fronts. 

Not wanting to be a utility player is fine, but not wanting to do it so you can be a bench player at Liverpool is a bit weird. Who will he replace??

He won't replace anyone but I suppose rotation, which he would have got here.

I think we can all understand it a little though. I mean he is a Liverpool fan right so if we can put ourselves in that situation and our boyhood club came knocking you would turn down Bayern or Real or Barca to come to Chelsea would you not? Those sides have a better shot at winning the CL than we do but the chance to pull on the shirt of our club would be worth more than that, or at least to me it would be.

Slap in the face for the club.  Can't get much lower than losing out on a player to Liverpool of all clubs.

Ox is small player gonna win anything

Or Azpi, Moses, Luiz, even Meireles. Basically we have made late signing's every summer for the last 6 season's and on 5 occasion's said signing's have made key contribution's towards us winning trophies and were at worst decent on the whole. Yes the Papy signing was bizzare but i don't get why it's supposedly certain we will make another Papy esque signing and not a signing similar to the other windows. If Courtois saves 5 of his next 6 pens but made a howler for the one he let in, would you hold that howler against him?

Because signings like Torres, luiz, azpi etc was already rumoured to before the deadline day. We might have accomplished the signing on the last day, but the actual negotiations/rumors had started way before that.

currwntly we have spent 4 months pissing about. We chased Sandro for nothing, mendy for nothing, danilo, walker, ox. We are out of options and most importantly out of time. That's the difference between. Hence the papy reference.

Well on a positive note, we still have a few hours to sort this mess out.......on the downside, I don't have a good feeling about the outcome.

Really?

Emenalo - The Specialist in failure. We suck. 

chelsea clearly played here ,

Only reason I wanted him was depth and seeing his season stats I just thought wow this guys been stealing a living at Arsenal. Think we may have dodged a bullet tbh. 2-3 years time I bet he's playing for Palace or West Brom.

Cant work out if you asked this due to the spelling error (his name is fikayo tomori) , or if you genuinely don't know who he is. Which would be embarrassing.

I'm not fussed about this. He'd have made a good RWB or RW for us but if he he is truly deluded enough to think he is a CM then I look forward to him trying to achieve that at Liverpool.

It just reminds me so much of Walcott telling everyone he could be a striker. [emoji23]

Fair play to him, wants to play CM, we aren't guaranteeing him that. I think he should ask James Milner how being guaranteed a CM spot at Liverpool goes.

For me he's an ideal signing. CM, RW, RWB cover with the potential to be first choice in those positions. But if he chooses Liverpool then Cé La Vie. Choosing one nearly team and stepping down to another without even the consistency of FA cups.

I really do not rate is guy and think that Chelsea dodged a bullet.

Windows been pretty much a disaster tbh. We have less players than we had before it opened and are a weakened squad. That's ridiculous considering we just won the league and are back in CL.

Brace yourself. Spurs are interested in swooping in for Llorente apparently.

Think its run its course now. Lets lock er in! 

OC is not a centre mid.... We can sit back and enjoy next year. CFC are going places, Liverpool....not so sure! £40M is stupid money for a player who's out of contract next year. Even in this market. 

CFC are great at finding players when we get the work done early, Chamberlain, Barkley etc look like panic buys.  Next year I trust us to put it right after this fiasco.
