I will be at Wembley this weekend. I will be going there in hope but I fully expect a close game that could well be decided by a player or referee mistake.

The thing that I find disappointing are the reported quotes from Spurs players. Its as if they only have to turn up to win the game.

This is an attitude I would have expected from there arrogant/ deluded fans not the players!

I won't be there just personally because I don't believe semi finals should be played at Wembley it should be a neutral ground. I'll be at Everton the week after though I can't wait for that.

I'll have to be honest I'm not very optimistic about Saturday. The only positive I'm getting is that Spurs normally bottle it at Wembley.

What is Wembley if it is not a neutral ground?

any truth ed002?

Chelsea transfer news: Tiemoue Bakayoko, Benjamin Mendy and Thomas Lemar all scouted by Blues during Monaco’s Champions League win over Borussia Dortmu.

{Ed002's Note - Bakayoka and Lemar are of interest but Monaco gave Chelsea a price for Benjamin Mendy that would likely price him out of a move.}

That would be a shame. I'd love Mendy here he'd be a perfect wing back.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I cannot see Chelsea paying the asking price.}

Thanks for the update Ed002. Would you mind sharing what the price is (ballpark) and if you think it's reasonable considering his talent and age?

Trying to understand if we're becoming unnecessarily stingy.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - The club don't want to overpay for players.}

How much are Monaco looking for Ed?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I don't want to get in to money.}

thanks ed002.
shame agreed. out of the three id take him over the other two.
other note Bakayoko would be a class parntership with Kante.

I think Alex Sandro is also as good as mendy. Surprises me Chelsea is yet to be credited with an interest.

Im not sure if bakayoko is an upgrade on matic. think personally we need to aim for an isco or vidal type player not bakayoko . as good as mendy is also would be harsh on alonso to bring in mendy alonso deserves his spot. we need an extra 2 quality attackers don't feel we need defenders with ake and zouma and also chrostianson coming back but another top class midfielder next to kante is needed to get to the next level.

Agree with Magic. I think Alonso has done extremely well this year. He's not perfect by any means but he always has a few good crosses a game, chips in with the occasional goal and hasn't been caught out much at the back from what i can recall. If we keep Ake, I'd target a RWB as back-up competition for Moses, otherwise potentially a CB if Cahill or Zouma leave.

What we need is a CM, a replacement for Costa and maybe another winger/ forwar to replace Batshuayi if he also leaves.
