I read several negative posts today about our loss to bayern munich. Overall it was a tough performance but one that will have got the rust out of the player's legs and is better preparation than a comfortable defeat to lesser opposition. Hopefully it makes us work harder.

Sounds like Spurs could be getting Toljan. I think he'll be a good buy for them. It's a shame we haven't gone in for him. Looks like he'd be a cheap price in this day and age and I think he'd have been good competition for Moses.

talking about 3mill.

Agree2 Disagree0

25 Jul 2017 21:33:27
Where have you seen that? He's a cracking player I'd be gutted if they got him.

Agree1 Disagree0

25 Jul 2017 21:56:01
First saw it on sky sports
Then someone mentioned him on the Spurs page and the way I read it, it sounded lik ed2 said it was possible.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jul 2017 22:09:30
It on sky sports news and also Ed002 mentioned that it is likely.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jul 2017 22:23:03
Yeah i saw he is 3mil. definitely worth a punt at that. But when we start showing interest add a zero.

Agree1 Disagree0

25 Jul 2017 19:28:53
Any chance of us getting bale? I heard a while ago he was one of contes faves and now real are getting a new striker might be an option. He plays anywhere. Even lwb 😂.

{Ed002's Note - Swap for Hazard?}

25 Jul 2017 21:26:21
No chance.

Agree1 Disagree1

26 Jul 2017 11:09:45
Not a swap ed no. But who would turn down buying him?

Agree1 Disagree1

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea has no interest in him.}

26 Jul 2017 11:24:40
Ok cheers ed. One can dream.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - They will be offering around at some point.}

26 Jul 2017 12:16:33
That would be great but I'm not sure Real would agree on such a deal.

Tom davis. Who? Not seen much of him.

25 Jul 2017 19:24:22
brilliant player of Everton. will definitely be an England international.

Agree2 Disagree0

25 Jul 2017 19:26:46
He should stay where he is and get more game time. Great future ahead for him if he keeps his head down and keeps going.

Agree1 Disagree0

25 Jul 2017 22:18:48
Yeah, he's not what we need and we're not what he needs. We need someone with a bit of experience who can sit into the holding midfield role. Marchisio would be ideal to add to our midfield.

Agree0 Disagree1

26 Jul 2017 17:24:38
I think davies is an attempt at hitting the HG quota. I can't see him being a regular. Where is maceachren nowadays or sidwell? Harsh but true. Its foreign players that are first choice in the prem.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jul 2017 17:35:35
I thought Boga and Morata were both excellent out wide.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

25 Jul 2017 18:31:20
Morata out wide, just what we need, now need to sign a striker to play down the middle 😉.

Agree3 Disagree3

25 Jul 2017 15:49:52
We haven't really got a lot of pace in the team have we. nobody really lighting quick, think that's missing from today, but inn the negative and it was poor defence in first half but there well ahead of us in preseason so nothing to worry about.

Believable2 Unbelievable4

25 Jul 2017 17:10:30
Hazard, Pedro, Willian, Morata, Moses. Think we've got plenty of pace pal it's just Fabregas will always struggle in a two man midfield because he's not fast enough. Bakayoko and Kante bring pace and power as a duo.

Agree1 Disagree0

25 Jul 2017 17:15:08
I noticed that in the arsenal game. Their players out paced most of ours. Ozil was getting the better of alonso and our wingers were slower.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jul 2017 17:54:26
The pace issue isn't in our attack it's in the midfield and especially more so the defense. It will be interesting to see if Rudiger can break into the back 3 as he is arguably the paciest of our CB's. Alonso has and still will be crucial to us this season, but in the bigger games someone like Alex Sandro would give us more solidity with his pace against better wingers.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jul 2017 15:24:16
Hi lads. what's the general thought on us getting Van Dijk is it just paper talk or is there genuine interest. Your thoughts please.

Believable0 Unbelievable2

25 Jul 2017 17:05:26
Ed002 has stated that Chelsea stepped back from VVD as Soton said he wasn't for sale. If Soton's stance changes then Chelsea's interest may return.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jul 2017 19:40:24
Wouldn't want him even if he was available. We've just bought a CB. We may need one next year as both Cahill and Luiz will be nearing mid 30's and it would depend on how well Rudiger and Christensen are integrated but I seriously don't see a space in the squad let alone in the first team for another CB.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - If he is available Chelsea and Arsenal will be interested.}

26 Jul 2017 15:26:45
i know ed, i just don't think he's good enough and too similar to Luiz to play together imo.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - That is OK because I doubt he will end up at Chelsea.}

25 Jul 2017 14:34:09
bashuayi isn't a team player and he needs a lot of talking to. alonso is just to slow and weak.

Believable0 Unbelievable8

25 Jul 2017 14:47:07
Slating the players already and it's only pre season. Doesn't matter that it's Bayern's 7th pre season compared to our 3. And that they are 10 days ahead of us in training.

Also that we've been doing 2 training sessions a day.

🙄🙄🙄🙄.

Agree2 Disagree0

25 Jul 2017 15:17:50
It's a friendly.

Let's not start on Alonso again. He's been excellent.

Agree4 Disagree0

25 Jul 2017 15:31:42
Bayern got whooped by AC Milan the other day, didn't look at the races at all. This is exactly what pre-season is about - match sharpness/ fitness, conditioning at high altitude and playing as best possible as a team with the raft of changes that happen throughout the match. Obviously nobody likes bad results but I'd rather see game situations and how we react as opposed to a series of procession wins with no challenge whatsoever.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jul 2017 15:36:09
not slating or judging the players base on our preseason matches but from last season. i believe the manager is aware of these facts that is why we are strongly after sandro and the main reason michy was out of the team even when costa was out injured.

Agree1 Disagree4

25 Jul 2017 15:58:10
Michy is trying to impress and fight for starting spot. I credit him rather than slate saying not a team player, it's same as hazard is to much of a team player. sometimes u want bit of selfishness n go for goal.

Agree2 Disagree1

25 Jul 2017 17:12:00
Makes you laugh this page Bayern are more or less full strength. We have no Rudiger, Bakayoko, Hazard or Pedro to the squad plus no rotation for the full backs.

Agree2 Disagree0

25 Jul 2017 14:17:29
Watching the Match Live though we losing 3-1 . MORATA is a Very Confident Forward . GOOD Times ahead for Him .


We need Another Striker surely . as Cover or as Competition.

Believable0 Unbelievable2

25 Jul 2017 12:54:27
Cesc struggling with pace of Bayern in middle, Bayern look dangerous going forward and comfortable at the back.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

25 Jul 2017 13:05:18
27 min 3-0, Bayern in first gear still, hot knife and butter cones to mind.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jul 2017 13:07:39
Only a friendly but the lack of effort from our players is embarrassing. Should be putting in a shift for thee fans who may never get to see their team play live again. So poor going forward and lacklustre at the back.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jul 2017 13:21:34
We have stepped it up after looking half asleep. The midfield is unbalanced and again I do not see what others do in Christensen.

Agree1 Disagree0

25 Jul 2017 13:25:20
This game is the reality check we need, although only pre-season and the result doesn't overly matter, we lack quality in depth and to compete in Europe this season we need more quality. This game reminds me of the Fa cup final, we look lethargic. (which of course could be due to all the air miles but still no excuse)

Agree1 Disagree0

25 Jul 2017 14:14:35
Really impressed with Renata sanches, have read bad things about his attitude and Bayern wanting to sell and I'd really like him.

Agree2 Disagree0

25 Jul 2017 14:31:35
Morata moves like a classy player and once he settles in with our main line-up including Hazard he is going to be better than Costa over time. Worried as always with our defence against pace, especially pacy, quick passing teams.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jul 2017 10:13:00
cesc is great with ball at feet bud hopeless without it legs are lomg gone sanches looks class.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jul 2017 11:50:41
Chelsea are expected to line up as follows:

Courtois; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Cahill (c) ; Moses, Kante, Fabregas, Alonso; Willian, Batshuayi, Boga.

Subs: Caballero, Eduardo, Bulka, David Luiz, Tomori, Kalas, Clarke-Salter, Scott, Baker, Pasalic, Remy, Morata.

25 Jul 2017 12:49:02
Christensen and this defence have done them self zero favours, looks easy for Bayern.

Seems there is a streaming page with has ronaldo in its name.

Online at the Chelsea website I believe.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jul 2017 11:15:59
I think we'll end up with Ox, Sandro and Llorente.

We are a midfielder short but I just don't see anyone in the current market who fits our need. Probably better off having Luiz come into there of needed, or even Azpilicueta could probably do a job there. There has to be an argument for keeping Pasalic at the club too.

Ox is in a funny situation, he wants more first team time than at Arsenal but the clubs he's linked too (us, Man City and Liverpool) arguably have stronger squads in his position than Arsenal - does he want to be a first team player or does he want to just be paid like one? I think we'll get him as a very useful squad player who may replace Moses.

Sandro is one of those deals that will drag on and on, eventually resulting in a deadline deal - at least I hope it does.

Llorente, for the right price, makes a ton of sense. Good EPL player, offers something different off the bench and played under/ with Conte/ Marota. Plus him coming to us will give Abraham more minutes at Swansea.

Almost every paper going with Chelsea want 4 more players, Sandro van dijk candreva and llorente, note that van dijk and centre back not priority as rudiger and Christiansen came in

I'd personally like Sandro marhrez Barkley van dijk. Only mahrez and Barkley as both want out of there clubs possibly anyway, and know the league and good depth, Sandro all likely we've moved on so maybe Bertrand and llorente will be expensive for his age no doubt,

Believable0 Unbelievable2

25 Jul 2017 05:45:23
Don't want Barkley or Mahrez anywhere near our club. Barkley is terrible and Mahrez isn't any better than Pedro or Willian. Alex Sandro should now be priority for wing back no matter how hard he is to sign. Him and a RWB and we're pretty much set.

Agree4 Disagree4

25 Jul 2017 07:15:42
I doubt we would want Mahrez, in and out player who sulks and Barkley, a player that will never progress much further. I still think they may well surprise us with Sandro who would be a real gem for us. Conte said last week that he would be looking at Christensen on tour so he is not guaranteed anything and was poor against Arsenal; personally I do not rate him very highly.

Agree3 Disagree2

25 Jul 2017 07:35:53
Same here. Barkley will be the next Rodwell and no thanks to Mahrez too. We have hazard for that job. Don't want another one who goes missing in many games and doesn't put a shift in.

Agree4 Disagree2

25 Jul 2017 08:00:55
I agree I'd rather avoid Maghreb and Barkley at all costs . Ideally I'd have Alex Sandro then one of the ox or sergi roberto as the can cover the middle and rwb. In my opinion we don't neccasraily need Llorente as we have morata and batshuyai ahead of him . I think a forward like Keita balde would be much more useful . Can play in a two up front but also as a winger so would also be very good back up . Then keep boga and baker for cover aswell .

Agree2 Disagree2

25 Jul 2017 08:50:53
Llorente is someone who can give us a different dimension. If chasing a game etc. Would love to keep Boga and Baker in and around the squad but can't help but think a prem loan for them both would be better.

Agree0 Disagree1

25 Jul 2017 10:11:10
I do like the idea of candriva, he is 30 and yets has the movement, strenght and speed of a 24 year old and fully experienced. he can put in a shift for put in a shift both as wing back and cover going forward for at list 2 or 3 years of great quality, while we watch bogs and co mature into world class around the squad.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jul 2017 10:22:25
Dont want mahrez barkley or llorente or van diyk.
Want sandro/ bertrand renato sanchez and give chances to boga and a few others.

Agree2 Disagree1

25 Jul 2017 10:41:06
Bertrand is on City's list. Don't think we've been mooted for signing him.

Haven't been linked with Mahrez or Barkley. Well not on this site anyway. Papers link us with pretty much every good player.

Llorente could/ would do a job for us. Would also give Tammy more chance to get some league minutes under his belt. Wouldn't want us to sign anyone younger as rather have Tammy come through next season.

Sanchez - again haven't been linked and still expect him to sign for Milan. Never seen the fuss in him. One good tournament and clubs went crazy. Maybe needs to find some rhythm again and maybe he can get back to his top level.

Agree1 Disagree2

25 Jul 2017 10:53:24
Barkley is no different to RLC . lazy and attitude isn't the best.

Agree2 Disagree2

25 Jul 2017 11:05:42
Barkley is a one of the best younger midfielders in Europe. He has potential to become new Lampard.
And you obviously do not understand much about football since you're obsessed with bad copy of Dennis Rhodman.

Agree1 Disagree2

25 Jul 2017 11:13:42
We haven't been linked to mahrez or barkley. It was the OPs choice. Ws were linked with sanches although its more likely he will go milan or man u.

Agree1 Disagree0

25 Jul 2017 11:41:51
so good that all the big clubs want Barkely. yes he has potential but he never going to be anywhere near Lampard standard or even achieve wht he did.
