Hope everyone's self isolating as much as they can and social distancing! Now then, aouar from Lyon was a target a while ago ( I think ) he someone we'd be Interested now?

{Ed002's Note - I would not hold your breath. Chelsea's meeting with Lyon a couple of months ago was nothing to do with Aouar. Other clubs remain keen.}

Good read ed, but I can't help but notice the absence of Billy Gilmour! Were his last two starts not enough to get him on the list?

He made Roy Keane turn the TV volume up!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - not yet mate. He did look exceptional though!}

I like the enthusiasm, J mate, but 2 matches aren't near enough to put him on a top 10 in the world list :-P

That said, imagining a midfield of Ampadu and Gilmour behind a guy like Loftus-Cheek or Mount sounds very appealing.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah, we don't need to get too carried away. But, hopefully he'll be a bit more than a holding / defensive player in a couple of years.

Out of the 10 you've listed who do you think would be the best signing for Chelsea - purely on style?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - Partey or Niguez as they can play any of the midfield roles.}

Thanks Ed, I really like the look of both players too l.

I think we're seeing some very nice midfield foundations developing within the squad Jackson. It killed me seeing Kante, Kovacic and Jorginho all playing together, especially against teams who were sitting back.

We looked so much better recently with Mount and Barkley as part of the three and Gilmour holding. I think we'll see Barkley, Jorginho and possibly even Kante phased out over the next couple of years. But in Kovacic, Gilmour, Mount, Loftus-Cheek and the potential promise of Gallagher and Anjorin there is a lot to be excited about without looking at midfield signings.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - it always feels more exciting when the players are coming through the youth system.}

Yeah, and Sky Sports are reporting our interest in Declan Rice.

They must right sometime - right?

Agree0 Disagree0

No need for Rice if you've got Ampaduuuuuu! :-)

Hi guys,

Some of you may have seen previously that I work in a&e in my local hospital. I just wanted to say that I hope all of my fellow posters and all of the eds are staying safe and remain in good health!

It really is imperative that we all follow the advice laid out by the government and PHE in regards to social distancing and isolation! Please, for yours and your family's safety only travel if absolutely paramount! I know its difficult locking children up in the house when they're out of schools etc. But it really is a necessary evil! I can't remember the last time I saw someone outside of work apart from at the shop for essentials.

Also thank every single one of you, and the rest of the general public for the amazing support that has been shown towards the NHS. It really is absolutely incredible how the general community has gotten behind us. I've seen countless unemotional members of staff cry over the kindness being shown to them.

Finally, please steer clear of hospital unless you really do need urgent treatment. As much as we follow PPE procedures and clean constantly, hospitals are a breeding place for infection, they always have been! Help us help you, and please, stay safe everyone!

cech118, you and you fellow NHS workers really are heroes and you all deserve all of our unreserved appreciation.

I would also like to thank all essential workers who are making our current predicament easier to manage.

I truly hope that when this nightmare ends and it will, every single one of you get a massive bonus.

Please keep safe, our country needs you.
