Yep and arguing with the board over when players should report for training so things are off to a nice start. Should be a good season

It’s legitimately a really bad spot for such a large valuable club. We’re gonna get toasted this season

i dont wanna jinx anything, but reddit tells me jorginho's mom and sister just started following Chelsea IG.



sarri, jorginho, golovin, rugani, eden extension, and get the keeper situation sorted. i mean, after such a shite show i have a hard time seeing the club being efficient enough to get all this done in a month.

fwiw, i think jorginho and golovin would be two of our better buys in a while. other than Kante, obv.

thats also super dumb because Allan is like a poor mans Kante. Allan is maybe more assertive in attack, but its a fairly like for like upgrade for Sarri to work with.

I’m not gonna say kante is better than Eden, but he’s frickin close, and he’s got a fantastic attitude. DONT SELL KANTE

nightmare scenario:

Madrid and PSG haggle all summer over a Neymar or Mbappe deal. (my guess would be for Ney, perez has the hots).

Hazard and his dad-agent wait it out, keep stalling on the extension.

the Premier League window closes on Aug 9, while the rest of the world still has a few weeks. Thus, players can be sold out of the EPL, but not bought in.

PSG refuse to budge. se queda. Madrid have 2 weeks left to bring in a Galactico and set their sights on our own Hazard.

Hazard hands in a request. Chelsea is then fricked:

-sell Eden for max value but be unable to sign a replacement since the EPL is retardedly closed.
-make him wait until the winter window opens, at which point perhaps Madrid will have moved on, but if not, Hazards value will have decreased significantly.
-refuse to sell and hope that Madrid try again for Neymar the following the summer and cool on Eden, or risk losing him for nothing.

i hate that odd quote from Hazard recently where he said if Madrid want him, "they know what they have to do." wtf does that mean? sell CRon? just offer Chelsea a ton of money? this sucks.

Chelsea doesn’t HAVE to release hazard. Keep that in mind

I did, its in the last scenario.

To not sell means risk losing him on a free. That would be catastrophic, especially since the teams core is getting old and roman hasnt been quite the sugar daddy he once was.

Edit: so i totaly goofed and forgot Hazard has 2 years on his current deal, musta gotten mixed up with Tbos situation. Its been a busy soccer day

Looks like today could be the day! If we wind up snagging Sarri and Jorginho, then add Golovin and Rugani, we came out pretty damn strong after this shite show.

I know there's a few other situations we'd need to iron out (Hazard, T-Bo, Willian, Drinkwater, etc) but I would be feeling way better about the season. Now let's offload Morata asap. Don't even care if it means signing Higuain.

Why?

Dude was injured a bit, first year in the EPL. He showed terrific pace. He needs to learn to not go down so much, it’s not the pussy Spanish league. If he kept his nerves about him he’d have double the goals, just needs some more experience on that stage.

I think we should hold onto him.

Unless Morata is pushing a move, he should totally stay. But there has to be another forward around to push for his mins. I actually hope the Higuain rumors are true. Itd be a huge upgrade over Giroud.

But swapping Morata for Higuain would be a huge, shotsighted mistake.

Im real curious what happens to Miazga this summer. If any other CB loanee had had the type of year as Miazga, fans would be clammoring for him to get a crack. The anti american bias is strong. His ball skills are on par with any cb on the roster, he just needs some more experience.

This sucks but i get why hes gotta go.

The club seemed to break him. The difference between his demeanor from last year to this was staggering. Another win for the chelsea lockerroom mutiny.

But im super pumped for sarriball.

Did we all watch the same team last year?

How can you possibly feel confident in Morata as our first option after what he displayed last season? If he's a backup to Michy/Giroud/whoever, I'm OK with it. But if he's our top striking option, it's not looking good.

In case you forgot...
