I kind of wonder why we ain't interested in a Draxler or Mahrez. I feel we need a natural left, fast and tricky left winger to really perfect what we have at the moment. Fantastic game at the weekend. thanks also to all the Eds for all the info. It's well appreciated.

Completely agree, marhrez would be great and knows league, and people judge him on when Leicester self destructed forget how hazard performed, confidence was low but still has quality, draxler isn't the best in any position but can play almost anywhere in midfield, not sure where his strongest but his available and more than good enough for squad,

Draxler is the 'very' brown sugar.

21 Aug 2017 19:50:42
They're both good players but I wouldn't sign another I'd give either Musonda or Boga the 4th spot but I'd sell Willian for either of Deaxler or Mahrez as they both have better end product.

Not sure why Willian so often knocked on this site, I'd have him over Mahrez or Draxler albeit both can be excellent on occasion, though former at least can move from brilliance one game to relative obscurity the next. Willian gives 100% every game, never complains about coming off bench, has scored plenty of key goals, and was our stand out player of 2015-16 season.

True Locobakayoko. We should have a future plan for our young players cos most of them are really good potentials. I have been watching Loftus Cheek; i think that guy has a future if he stays fit.

May be sell Willian next season and get Draxler but the thing about good players is that when they are available u just have to go for them. So if a player like Draxler becomes available this summer- i don't mind going in for him.

Surely it's not about having one or the other but competition and good squad depth. Willians best hear for me was when Pedro came in and gave him competition for his spot .

Apart from greater experience I cannot see what benefit Draxler will bring when we have Boga and Musonda knocking on the door; I have always thought him over hyped. Mahrez has talent but he has that suspect temperament when things are not as he wants them and I do not see him in a Chelsea shirt. There has been a distinct change of attitude since Sunday's excellent but heavily flawed win and suddenly people seem content with 'adding squad players for depth'; we still need a couple of top players by month end.

more like when pedro came and took his spot after him although it took pedro 12 months to do it he got der.

{Ed002's Note - No, it is true.}

21 Aug 2017 18:31:01

{Ed002's Note - Being omnipotent, I am everywhere.}

21 Aug 2017 18:51:47

22 Aug 2017 01:32:55

22 Aug 2017 10:05:09
I always knew you were kind of a deity, Ed.

21 Aug 2017 13:21:15
Evening standard back on the aubameyang rumour, tiredsome when they must realise we have other priorities.

Goodmorning Eds and guys;

Please does A. Christensen, J. Boga and C. Musonda count as home grown players. Thanks for your response.

{Ed002's Note - It is not relevant at this time, but assuming they stay at Chelsea this season they will do.}

Think Christensen deserves a spot in the squad this season after yesterday's peroemance provided he's willing to fight for his spot rather than expect to start every week. Musonda and Boga have both shown glimpses of what they can do in pre season and on previous loans but I don't think either are ready for the premier league just yet to be honest, would love them to prove me wrong though.

Christensen should quickly put pen to paper, he's a good player. Deserves a spot on that team.
