Willian never had a cliff to fall of to begin with. It was more like falling off a chair in a basement.
Give me two seasons of Silva and then he can retire at home in Brazil for all I care. I just want some of that classiness first.
James, Kante, Havertz, and Chilwell please.
Chilwell would be great. Havertz too although I'm not sure how much I like him as a striker.
Don't want Silva, too old.
Chilwell is not better than Tierney for me. Similar sort of players anyway.
Broja, Livramento, Gilmour, Gallagher, Ampathu etc from their players out on loan that is interesting as well
Gallagher is very interesting.
Only interested in Broja and Jorginho.
Would be Mandy were it not for Ramsdale.
Rest are meh

Pretty sure Livramento signed permanently for Southampton.
I like Broja as a Laca replacement. But would still want my Auba replacement. (In terms of squad roles rather than player styles)

Don’t buy this Chelsea crisis developing. Will probably blow over in a few days and they will find some solution.
Too good to be true imo.
I have the same feeling, but hopefully it's just because I don't want to hope for too much.
Pretty much. There will be some loophole and they will be fine.

Thanks Ricky - I went and browsed the Tech Support threads too and found that. I need to bookmark the page where Klaus taught me how to embed images too - it's about 30 pages back now on the Things You're Loving in Life thread I reckon.
Am I the only one that thinks Kovacic would be absolutely ace along Partey/Odegaard?
He's by far my first choice of a Chelsea player, and following him I'd look at Kante.
Gallagher is a tidy player too.
Chambers seems to be enjoying himself at Villa (great goal) https://streamwo.com/v/zvh7sj6p
Good on him.

Bit of a shame because of this. Probably could've scored ourselves an extra £10m there ...

absolutely
don't put much stock in it at all.
I'm surprised noone said they'd take Tuchel off of Chelsea. I guess people are more behind Arteta then I thought. 8)
