Yeah I think we need to let Azpi and Alonso go even if just to force us into signing better players as back ups, they aren’t good enough at WB

Yeh this and even a few others should be on this list - but there does almost feel like an air of f-it which has me a little worried. We desperately need imo 4 more players at least if we aren't gonna use any of the kids. Doesn't even need to be A list, get some hard working B Listers, like we just need energy in the team and a bit of ommph

Wish we’d kept Maatsen tbh, already doing well for Burnley in his first game. Like if you’re struggling to sign someone and have a performing youngster in that position why not give them a go?

Cause they have to prove themselves somewhere else first bro

Crystal Palace are interested in signing #Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek for a second time on loan.

We are doing well covering positions that don't need covering

But just read this: Frankie De Jong Episode 1002

If Frenkie De Jong refuses to leave FC Barcelona or refuses to take a pay cut, the Catalan club will be unable to register Robert Lewandowski or Raphinha... 😬

Hope it's true!

Hmmm sorry about the double up....

He has to stay there just to spite them at this stage

Barca deserve to be ruined for how they treat their players

Looks like we've signed that young American GK.

I expect that bastion of honesty & integrity EUFA will sort it out

Thanks for having my CPL on the OP Randy..appreciated

#Chelsea no longer want to waste time on improving their defence and will 'quickly draw its first offer' for Leicester City's Wesley Fofana. If a fair offer is made, they won't oppose a departure, aware of Fofana's goal to play at the World Cup.

‘Fair offer’

Man signed a big contract extension a few months ago…

That was Leicester's way of securing Maguire money

That’s my point. It would take more than a ‘fair’ amount to get them to accept.

I don’t know why missing out on Kounde bothered me so much. It’s the main reason I’m so pessimistic about this season. Otherwise would have been relatively happy about our summer transfers.

Maybe because any other CB we’ve been linked to feels like a much worse option in terms of quality and affordability.

Stay away from the tube platform edge bud!

As an avid Sevilla follower I can confidently say that Kounde isn't good enough for us now he has gone to Barcelona. Bullet dodged

You've watched him play a lot then I assume

Pavard seems like a high quality alternative. And he actually wants to come here we're told.

Nah I was making a point about how as fans we get all het up about players that we've barely seen kick a ball to the point that we might write off a season based on missing a transfer of a player who could easily fail to make their mark.
