I feel like we honestly have the second best first XI in the league after City:

Sanchez
Disasi Silva Colwill
James Caicedo Lavia Enzo Chilwell
Jackson Nkunku

one world class CB, another almost at that level, two world class fullbacks, two world class midfielders with Enzo and Caicedo and a world class forward with Nkunku. The only improvement would be a better goalkeeper, but the team looks so strong on paper.

That's a side that looks like 12th in the league, similar to last season. Lots of expensive misfits.

Lavia is the funniest one.
Relegated player rejected by City.

Before the end of last season, anyone who had heard of him probably thought of him in the same way they think of mctominay, Skipp or Curtis Jones. Yet now he is quality and part of a world class side without kicking a ball for Chelsea

We were after Lavia last season mate. Think we bid £40m but was rejected by Southampton.

I find this unlikely seeing as he only signed for them last season.

Really I swear we were after him last season.

Unless it was in January.

Probably BS but I remember us being heavily linked to him.

I remember that too, the links anyway. It was after we bought in that Southampton guy as part of our new recruitment team. Shields I wanna say his name is?

How? Which side in the world has better fullbacks than Chilwell and James? Which side in the world has 2 better CBs than Thiago Silva and Colwill? Is there any team that has two young midfielders as good as Enzo and Caicedo apart from Real Madrid?

It's a really good squad full of some of the best young players in the world. Managed by a coach that's previously done very well with young players.

That's the cue for every one to put a ton on Chelsea to win the PL, if ever I heard one!
