Just seen sky sports stating Madrid have made a bid 100 million for courtoise and Willian.
Take it and buy Butland and a couple of others.

29 Jul 2018 20:41:40
butland and bailey.

More and more guess work by so called sports reporters!
When it comes to football transfers there are very few reporters worthy of our respect and trust.
The Ed’s, Matt Law on occasions and the guy in the Standard are the only people who’s views I take seriously!

30 Jul 2018 07:01:41
I guess u mean Simon Johnson of the Standard.

30 Jul 2018 07:12:01
I will check his name in tonight’s Standard Obinna.

30 Jul 2018 14:00:38
Matt Law is the one that sounds like Ed002 when he speaks, you never know.

29 Jul 2018 17:38:47
Judging on #WonderdogSparky's activity, looks like Willian is Utd bound. I expect we will see Pulisic or Bailey replace him.

29 Jul 2018 18:10:33
Where have you seen that?

29 Jul 2018 18:23:57
Look at @Wonderdogsparky on Twitter.

given they won't sell martial to a rival why should we always sell players to them mata matic etc c3ch to arsenal are we the only big club that sells to our rivals or?

30 Jul 2018 02:01:48
lol whos that on twitter 😂😂.

30 Jul 2018 07:15:33
Sounds like a respected journo who ever He is.

30 Jul 2018 08:57:34
The words respected and Journalist are in my opinion are two words that should apply to a very select band of so called reporters!

29 Jul 2018 08:01:00
Wow, Jose seems to be right on time with his 3rd season meltdown, he doesn't seem happy at all, doing his usual bit about club not buying him players and he wanted 5 and may only get 1 more to add to Fred and that Sanchez probably looks unhappy due to the players he has around him and that there just trying to not get any ugly results ( lost 4-1 to Liverpool ) think he will really push for Willian but don't know if board would let him spend €70m on him at his age or martial included in some way, either way he doesn't seem happy 😃.

29 Jul 2018 08:18:34
Jose and United are very vulnerable right now. We should take full advantage and rip them off for Willian. I don't see any way in which Jose is their manager come this time next year. He hates the place and most of the fans want him gone. It's a shame though seeing a man loved by all of us always looking to unhappy in his work. Made me smile the other week when I read on the United Banter page that many of the United board still believe he's a Chelsea man at heart! Wouldn't want him back at Chelsea as I think he's lost it a little bit but I'll forever be grateful to the man.

29 Jul 2018 11:25:23
Always be grateful to Jose but I do love listening to some of my mates who are Utd fans moan about the football, his constant moaning and his everyone else is to blame attitude.
I remember those feelings so well.

29 Jul 2018 12:14:15
What I love the most is the United fans saying that he will change for them as it was his "dream job" when he first arrived! How wrong they were lol.

29 Jul 2018 12:22:21
Jose has started again.

29 Jul 2018 16:10:51
Jose hasn’t moved with the times, his ways will cause teams problems who want to play attacking but it’s dull and players ( as under conte ) don’t want to be run into the ground in training and playing boring football during the week. And critisesd in public at every opportunity. The small few he really trusts love him but others I imagine find it hard being around him.

30 Jul 2018 07:07:05
These games of his (Mourinho) have become old-fashioned, people don't care anymore.

29 Jul 2018 07:24:05
Thoughts on yesterday's match:

Bulka is awesome with his feet for a 16 year old GK. Shame we couldn't see what he's like with his hands though as Inter offered little in the first half.

Alonso got beat by Candreva time and time again and was often out of position, both defensively and offensively. Emerson didn't look much better after coming on.

Zappacosta showed again why he shouldn't be with us. His delivery is so poor.

Jorginho is absolutely class and a wonderful signing. He sees the game in a different way to most. Can't wait to see him next to Kante.

Barkley looked sharp in the first half. If he can stay fit I see him being our more offensive midfielder in the starting 11.

Hudson Odoi is special and should be getting game time this season in the cups, Europa and even the Prem as I believe he's THAT good. Pedro looked sharp as well considering yesterday was his 31st bday! Hope he enjoyed himself.

Morata started well but then fell back into the moaning and falling over Morata we know from last season. Hopefully Sarri will get him playing better and more consistently.

I was going to comment on Bakayoko and Drinkwater but the less said the better in all honesty. One only passes sideways and backwards and slows the game down whilst the other does the exact same yet only finds the opposition!

29 Jul 2018 20:45:49
drinkwater an bakayoko comments are epic😂 how did we ever shell out 70 odd million on then 2 donkeys.

29 Jul 2018 02:33:27
ED001 and the other posters, What do you think about Bakayoko as a player. Last year when we signed him there was so much interest in him and he seemed like a coup at that time and perfect partner of Kante in midfield. But Everytime we see him now he looks lost. Is it a confidence thing or is he just not good enough for epl?

{Ed001's Note - confidence. His confidence is absolutely shot. He can make simple passes very well but his head is gone so they are going astray. Sarri is one of the better coaches in the game, he is one who has the ability to help the lad through it, so it may be that he can sort him out.}

29 Jul 2018 14:49:52
Hope you're right, Ed001. I've always been of the opinion that we see odd flashes of the player he could become (some of his upfield surges, etc) but he looks totally shot of confidence. I still have faith, but it's beginning to wear a bit thin!

{Ed001's Note - he might never recover at Chelsea, sometimes players need a fresh start, but I think Sarri is the best bet to help him while he is there.}

28 Jul 2018 23:32:51
Chelsea fans just a thought. Would you be happy with Batshuayi, Ruben, Loftus Cheek and zouma in exchange for Pickford?
Also what’s happened to Ross haven’t seen anyone mention him for a while.

29 Jul 2018 00:38:53
No. Unless Batshuayi was purely a loan. One more good season like Batshuayi had at Dortmund and he’d be worth more than Pickford.

29 Jul 2018 07:05:20
I presume the original post was a joke?

29 Jul 2018 07:14:19
Don't be silly mate. Pickford is good but all those players combined could pick us up easily £80m at least I would've thought and there's no way we would spend that on Pickford if we weren't willing to match Liverpool's offer for Alisson. RLC and Zouma- maybe, although I want Lottie-Cheek to stay.
