if our transfer ban isn’t frozen would we be able to exercise the option to extend Higuain’s loan or would that count as registering a new player?
09 Apr 2019 12:15:22
I think we won't be able to keep him even on loan.
08 Apr 2019 22:39:58
Eds, please tell me that Hazard and Hudson-Odoi are just playing chicken with each other to see who signs first and that, at the end of the season, it'll be that they both sign new contracts.
{Ed002's Note - You are clucking at straws.}
08 Apr 2019 23:02:27
Ed002, please write a book someday. Would be a brilliant read.
08 Apr 2019 23:17:06
The way Sarri talked about Hazard just confirmed for me that he is leaving.
10 Apr 2019 16:51:13
Yeah you are right about him writing a book and being a brilliant read. I love the way he uses some of these expressions like the one he just used above, 'clucking at straws'. It's like listening to John Champion running a football match commentary- his expressions and use of English is super. Well, imagine what I can do with my first language (mother tongue) which is Igbo language.

Alrite folks, just a random bored driven post but one I would love to get some replies from.
If Our 2 window transfer ban is upheld and We are unable to register any new signing for next season, how would You like to see the squad assembled?
Using the current squad, the loanees and the academy what would Your Squad look like?
KTBFFH!

I would go for something like this:
GK: Kepa Arrizabalaga
GK: Wilfredo Caballero
GK: Marcin Bulka *
LB: Emerson Palmieri
LB: Jay Da Silva *
CB: David Luiz
CB: Ethan Ampadu *
CB: Antonio Rüdiger
CB: Andreas Christensen *
RB: Cesar Azpilicueta
RB: Reece James *
CM: Jorginho
CM: Tiemoue Bakayoko
CM: Ruben Loftus-Cheek *
CM: Mason Mount *
CM: N'Golo Kante
CM: Danny Drinkwater *
WF: Callum Hudson-Odoi *
WF: Willian
WF: Christian Pulisic
WF: Pedro
ST: Olivier Giroud
ST: Michy Batshuayi
ST: Tammy Abraham *
* = Home Grown or Not Applicable
I have tried to be realistic and not just thrown a load of Youngsters in because that feels a good thing to do. I believe Hazard will be off so have omitted Him from the squad.
There are a number of players in My squad that I feel need moving on but without the transfer window to aid Us I think to do so would be unwise.
Thoughts?
08 Apr 2019 16:52:27
My starting 11 would be:
Kepa
Reece James
Christensen
Zouma
Emerson
Jorginho
Kante
RLC
Odoi
Giroud
Pulisic
Back ups would be Azpi, Rudiger, Dasilva, Mount, Willian, Abraham, Caballero and Barkley.
Maybe swap Giroud and Abraham around but personally i'd feel like Ruben, Odoi and Pulisic would benefit more playing with Giroud considering his style of play.
Wouldn't expect this team to get top 4 but having a season where we're using a lot of our talented youth players would be nice to see.

What Blue_Nose said but switch Bakayoko or Drinkwater for Barkley.
08 Apr 2019 13:42:27
So regarding Eden Hazard, I hope he doesn't force through a move like Courtois did last year. Apparently, RM don't want to pay our asking price and want him to force through move.
I am sure he has more of a brain than Courtois who I have no sympathy for.
A respectful player will sit and await for his valuation to be met. 100m is peanuts for someone like Hazard and so I don't understand what more of discount RM want.
I hope Hazard doesn't ruin his legacy at Chelsea by forcing through a move and leaving on bad terms like the Snake - TC. He should be classed as a legend like Drogba, Lampard, Terry, Cole etc as long as he conducts himself well here.

Hi Ed if Chelsea won europa league and utd or spurs won the champions league but failed to get in top 4 does that mean there would be 6 English teams in champions league next year.
{Ed002's Note - No, five is the maximum. 4th place would lose out.}
08 Apr 2019 21:16:42
OK thanks ed.

It's Nice to see the squad in their Benz turning up for training.
