Chelsea 2017/2018 Season Thread | TYFYS Antonio

Last season, this happened. I searched for FA Cup highlights, but it said those could not be found.

Now, this guy is gone to join a club with more history :(


No need to fear, though, because this man is still around to lead us in domestic competition and European competition:


This guy committed his future to the club


We lost our backup keeper and signed this guy to fill the void:


And we're currently haggling over a fee for a 16-year-old who will never feature for the first team.


Kits:
We have new kits and they are Nike and they aren't good and they're very expensive and I'm not posting them because I don't want McCaigBro to come up #inhere.

Transfer Talk:

Possibly coming in:
We are linked with a lot of top players, but this is starting to feel like the last time we won the title when we didn't sign anyone and we fell off a cliff and lost our manager midseason. Everybody else is taking care of business, and we're hoping that Rüdiger is really on a plane and that Diego Costa's childish antics aren't going to cost us a top striker.

The top linked targets are Rüdiger, Bakayoko, Alex Sandro and Lukaku, but only Rüdiger seems like somewhat of a certainty at this point.

We can live without Sandro, IMO, because Marcos Alonso is too handsome to sit on the bench:




Possibly leaving:
Diego Costa is going to leave; it's a matter of when, not if, at this point. Nathan Ake is already gone ( ). Matic is rumored to go if Bakayoko comes in. Musonda is probably going to be sold.

Possible lineups
Obviously this depends on transfers, but this is how we could lineup depending on who comes and goes. I tried to sub guys in and out (even if I don't think they're the strongest player) to provide a look







Prediction Time:
If we get the rumored players over the line, we repeat as Champions. If we continue to drag our feet and only end up with Rüdiger and some panic buy on the last day of the window, we finish 3rd.
