By Francis Go To PostHas Benítez lost the dressing room already? I know they're in dire need of reinforcements but this is just ridiculous.
2-3 at home against Nottingham…
Rafa doesn't give a shit. He got them back up and now the owner is pissing about. He will be at West Ham soon.
By shun Go To PostIts just me that wants to go to Germany more, so probably cut Frankfurt and go straight to Paris. Cheaper flight, go visit Germany by itself 4 or 5 years from now and see BVB. France, Spain, Italy.oooooh you're coming all the way from JAPAAAAN!! A trip of a lifetime!
CTS to HND
HND to Paris
Bordeaux
Barcelona
Valencia
Milan
Venice
Paris
Then go home.
Can fit another city or spend more time in oner of these places, adjustments for December. Spending nights in each place.
Yeah I wouldn't waste my time in Germany personally :lol can't go wrong with those beautiful three :3 maybe consider a European cruise that could take you from one place to another too?
It's impossible for me to make a list, I'm a bit spontaneous, I just book the beginning and end of my trips and go from there

William Carvalho's transfer will either be completed or it will be off in the next 48h.
By Cleff Go To PostOx, Drinkwater and Barkley.
Conte is fucking high.
I love it.
To spend £100 million on Barkley, Drinkwater and Oxlade-Chamberlain doesn't exactly strike me as brilliant business but Chelsea (or rather Conte) may not be left with much of a choice.
"Confident they could get Sanchez for near 40m"
lmao
Too late in the window now. 80m and I'd consider it.

Lucas Vasquez is such a classic no nonsense winger, bombs the flanks like nobodies business and delivers great crosses after losing his man.

A word of warning about how people were saying similar things last year about them buying Luiz and Alonso.

True, but they were still first team upgrades. None of those three are. Ox over Moses maybe I guess, but one has shown far better shit at WB (albeit under a much better tactician).
Not to doubt Conte or Chelsea at all - the first team is still class and they absolutely need depth - but none of those signings worry me particularly. Think Rudiger will be their biggest signing.

Still think Barkley could be very productive. Probably a reason both Conte and Poch want him. Could play one of the positions wide of the striker like Pedro/Son does for either team.
Drinkwater I'd expect to be a squad player.
Think Ox could be very handy at WB compared to Moses under proper management.
By Killer7 Go To PostRudiger is crap
Just like de bruyne is huh
Our 4 CBs are the best in the league by quite a margin (Luiz, Dave, Christensen, and Rudi). Very very happy with the two latter.
So long, Cahill
So long, Cahill

Nah. I'd take Tottenhams.
In a back 2 I'd have Alderweireld+Vertonghen all day long
In a 3, Luiz is probably the best in the league

By ATTICUS H Go To PostHow is Zlatan doing this?
he cant keep getting away with it
the silver haired fox is just sauron's alter-ego, he's waiting for bilbo's ashley's ring sports direct gold card to find its way back to him.
Blame lies squarely at the feet of Mike Ashley, and all Newcastle fans know this. If he fires Benitez he'll probably be murdered. He already failed to negotiate deals for Rafa's top targets Maguire and Abraham, others as well. If Benitez goes it's more likely that he walks.
By n8 dogg Go To PostJust like de bruyne is huhStill overrated.
I would have liked Kondogbia, but the Drinkwater's, Barkley's and Chamberlain's of the sport are exactly what Chelsea need at the moment. They're all role players right now in their careers who won't make a fuss about not starting against Palace or Watford, but will be ready with something to play for against Forest or Wolves on a Tuesday night.
These types of players are getting harder to obtain for what we previously considered a reasonable price so I wouldn't be shocked if they did end up totalling £100m at the register. The club has the money and everyone knows it.

Hmm
Southampton mouthpiece for a local paper seems to be laying the groundwork for VVD to leave, and a #ITK on one of their forums is suggesting he's joining us
I'll believe it when I see it
