What concerns me is winning the big trophy does not seem so far to have spurred the board to spend in the key positions. This doesn't bode well for the season and Tuchel fell out with his last two clubs over transfers.

{Ed0666's Note - leave it out mate. You do realize the transfer window is still open. What do you know what Maria is doing behind the scenes?? Or maybe a mediocre attempt at Trolling.

These are the posts the annoy the Ed’s and probably the reason we can’t get a full update, plenty of time, kounde looking likely which is good, I’m still pretty confident of a striker and midfielder coming In.

Ed066, this is the 2nd time in a week I have been accused of that. I am not trolling, I have been on this site for a long time and always been polite and civil. I have just seen this before with Chelsea.
Perhaps there's no point posting anymore if my views are considered too negative.

{Ed0666's Note - you’re blowing things out of proportion and insinuating situations that aren’t happening. Do you really think Chelsea will not try and make signings from a position of strength after winning the champions league? Do you really think after extending Tuchel’s contract they won’t give him funds to go on and be a powerhouse of European football? You’re being deluded. Why would they make enquiries for Haaland if that were the case?? If you want to leave mate I wish you all the best but if you wanna stay execute some logic in you’re posts. I can guarantee you Chelsea will make signings before the transfer window closes. Happy Friday mate.

RJ28P; I feel your concern and we all know it serves the manager and the team better to wrap up transfer incomings earlier in the window, but there's still time to fortify the team and have a fruitful transfer window, hence there's need to be patient. Calm down bro.

RJ, I like your passion but let’s just give the doom and gloom a rest at least until this transfer window is closed.

Also remember it doesn’t matter who we sign, it’s impossible for the club to make everyone happy.

Rj i'm afraid we ain't playing Football Manager. If we were then we would have had both Haaland and Lukaku by now.

On a serious note, big deals take time and most times are hard to pull over the line. Patience.

There is a massive, huge, difference between now and the last time we won the Champions League.

Last time we had a team that was coming to the end of its story, their UCL win capped off years of success. Funding was needed to start a new story. Yes we signed Hazard, who was obviously fantastic, but we didn't really get the business right elsewhere for a while. The squad probably suffered a bit as a result.

This time we have a young team at the start of their story, unexpected UCL winners who have lots of room to grow. Tuchel himself has said it'd be good to sign a couple of high quality players, but continuing without any signings wouldn't be the end of the world.

It looks like Kounde will happen, we will sign a striker and we have a fantastic squad of young players. The positives at Chelsea far, far, far outweigh the negatives.

We should not sell Abraham.

The negativity from Chelsea fans on the internet, not just this site but also on twitter is way out of control. As the ed said, the window is still open, and the very big deals can take a lot longer to negotiate. If we sign nobody come the end of the window then the moaning would be fair enough but until that happens if it does let's all stay positive yeah.

RJ28P - perhaps you should just stick to Twitter! Plenty of likeminded thinkers there!

Studley; I don’t think the negativity is peculiar to only Chelsea fans. Fans of other big clubs too (that buy good players and win trophies) are often impatient/ negative too when it seems like their clubs are buying or winning. It’s more of an expectation thing.
If we can sign Haaland, Kounde and Tchouameni, I think we will win the EPL, the FIFA Club World Cup and defend the UCL.
