In terms of incomings anyway
Kovacic came out of left field and is a cracking signing
We got rid of tbo
Now to see the exodus
Bats
Baka
Drinkwater
Tammy
Piazon
Should deffo be moved on although not his biggest fan surely bats is more suited to sarriball than morata or giroud
In terms of our.midfield it now looks incredibly strong with lots of strenght in depth. Now all it will take is for the players to adapt and we have a good base there
.
Reckon we are in for an exciting season with a european trophy a real possibility
Our business is done

Striker and Defence is a worry.
Luiz and Rudiger as a CB pairing has got disaster written all over it.
Alonso is not a LB, his lack of pace will be exposed.
Azpi is more suited to 3 at the back just like the majority of our defence.
Reckon we'll leak a lot of goals this season with this high line.
We should probably win EL unless a decent side finishes 3rd in the CL and drops into the EL - i.e. Atletico last year

What delights me is the complete stop of comments about how RA is no longer committed to Chelsea.
I am one of the rare fans here that believes (hopes) that Sarri will find the elusive switch that will turn Morata into a 15+ goal striker. And why not its perfectly doable..? at least between him and Giroud, 25-30 goals this season. Hopefully the right service will now come, I'm perfectly willing to be patient till Xmas to see this happen....

Agree with all of this. I can envisage some shocking defensive displays early on. Will we score enough to make this a non factor? Doesn't look likely atm.
We are an excellent cup side though and I'd rather we finish 5/6th and win Europa and maybe another than struggle for 4th.
MTC: Are we really going to get rid of all those players in one afternoon?

More central I reckon. Hardly ever played on the left for Real Madrid.

We have to get rid of 2 to meet our non homegrown quota.
