I think Ola Aina in the squad for pre season is really interesting. He could be a dark horse in breaking into the first team. A fast physical full back and I think Jose will like that. Clarke-Salter is also there be good to see how he does. Excited most to see RLC, Traore and a Solanke though.

{Ed018's Note - yea it is gonna be an interesting preseason watching some of the youngsters. I'm pretty excited for it}

I take it non of you have seen him play then? Watched a lot of U21 games last season and the lad couldn't pass to a barn door. Might be a good athlete but can't play - I'm shocked he's been taken! We loan out people like Todd Kane who's head and shoulders about Aina. I don't personally get it!

Aina's been a mainstay in the side which has won numerous youth trophies for two years so he can't be that poor can he? I love Ivanovic but he's poor at crossing the ball doesn't mean they're terrible right backs does it?

I can agree with chelsea nick in parts. I don't think he's any good tbh. I don't think he can defend in my opinion.

The funny part is he might be in the first team over players like T Kalas! That's doesn't make sense

There have been a number of articles suggesting Pedro may well end up at Liverpool which from my point of view would be excellent as I do not see what real value he will add. Following on from that was another article attributed to Craig Burley saying Chelsea need to forget Pedro for similar reasons and go for Gareth Bale who, according to him, is rethinking life in Spain. I was never a fan of him one way or another to be honest but his style of play and Mourinho's counter attacking desire means he would probably be a good fit. Any thoughts.

Apologies for my previous email but the way I typed it did not translate to the way it was presented therefore does not read properly.

Obviously we'd all prefer Bale but it doesn't look like he's available. At 20 million I think Pedro would be a great signing.

Chelsea has signed another youngster some Pantic and send him on loan to Vitesse

If the eds are kind enough to allow this to be posted on here.

Hello People.
As some of you may remember last year I had organized a fantasy football league, the official one I'm talking about. It had been open for all fans from all pages and We had got near 400 entries. I have organized everything again for this year. Here is the league code for this year.

185726-82458

It is open for anyone to join. The league name is " FOOTBALL RUMORS FANTASY LEAGUE". I'll only keep entries open up to midnight of the 7th of August GMT. Also the Eds are welcome to join if they're interested. Hope you all enjoy it.

P.s If anyone is confused as to the steps to figure it out I'll send them in.

Hi eds - why are Bamford and Ake not in the pre-season Montreal squad?

Believable2 Unbelievable0

{Ed018's Note - I'd assume they are going on loan soon and that's why they weren't included}

Moses is included "great"

Interesting squad and I would have taken Ake but. Moses, Chalobah and to an extent Mikel. plus others for experience including Traore. HOWEVER, when you look ahead to the new campaign you cannot help feeling, so far we have not built on last season. Our defence will still be second to none BUT we have to be more clinical in front of goal and learn how to dispatch poor teams that 'park the bus'. I find it strange that Mourinho hates 'tikki-takka' football but we end up playing it a lot.

Sparkys comments about Moses seem to indicate Moses is being kept around, and not acquired by Stoke, just in case another winger (Pedro or, highly unlikely, Griezmann I'd think) isn't signed. It makes some sense - home grown squad member, can play in League Cup games etc. To be fair if another winger were to sign I'd expect to see Cuadrado, rather than Moses, leave - and I'd be happy with that.

Think you guys are overthinking this potentially. Cuadrado and Willian both got extended breaks for copa America duty leaving us two wingers short. Moses could be brought along as he's familiar with the squad and how it operates.

New Brazilian signing Kenedy has joined the squad - be interesting to see him play.
