Traore is a good call as impact sub.

Pelle

I was at a wedding on the day of the game, got to watch it in bits but when i got home yesterday i stuck it on i player.

Batshuyai started well, held the ball up nicely and his pass that lead to our free kick was good

he died out after about 30 mins though and offered little else

It will be interesting to see what happens for the southampton game and weather he keeps his place

or whether dropping costa was to keep him fresh for that game

What do you reckon about a cheeky benteke bid? rather than 100 mill on luakaku.

Nick trying his best to make others not take his views on CFs serioulsy...........Benteke ffs

Morata just isnt a striker and certainly doesnt strike me as a player built for the premier league,

drops to deep wants more of the ball than he will be allowed in the prem and his got a dire goal scroing record.

Bellotti is the man we should go all out for, tailor made for the prem as the main man up top

A front three of Sanchez, Morata and Hazard would be insane. We wouldn't play the target man way

Wenger is already getting Sanchez tailor made for the 3-4-3 system for us

I will love it if Arsenal go 3-4-3 agst us in the final.

It will be Everton at home mark 2

not sure we can get sanchez tbh but i see your point i just dont see us moving that way

but hey Conte might have other ideas

hazard bellotti pedro/willian is also pretty tasty and that just means us signing one player,

Apart form the CF position ( should costa leave ) i havnt got a problem with the current crop of players
we have in this position.

I can see Willian and Costa leaving

Attacking options next season would be Hazard, Sanchez, Pedro, Morata, Traore

Oh and Loftus Cheek

Nice article

Recent comments from Conte to the media combined with his tactics agst Spurs on Saturday suggest to me that he may actually think Spurs are a bit better than Chelsea.

he is the future

yeah willian may go i hope to god we dont strenghten our rivals, he would transform united and we know jose is a fan.

if he does go id want us to move him abroad althogh i think moving him on would be a huge huge mistake

No way will they will be able to match us playing it.

Which probably means Wenger will do it

Manchester United appear to be leading the chase to sign Antoine Griezmann, according to the Atletico Madrid’s striker’s advisor.

Eric Olhats, the scout who helped to discover the Frenchman, claims Chelsea, Manchester City, Barcelona and Real Madrid are also interested in the player.

Olhats said he will listen to offers for the striker, who has scored 16 goals in La Liga this season.

"We're at the stage of gathering information from clubs who have a concrete interest," he told French TV show Telefoot.

"There is an unavoidable €100m clause so that restricts the number of candidates. You have United, City, Chelsea, Barcelona and Real Madrid.

"United were the first to come and see us and the most concrete in their wishes."

?? Very strange view to have. Guy caused us chaos just a few weeks ago, and is part of a palace revival that is nothing short of fantastic.
Scored twice yesterday. Just saying instead of lukaku, if the club are that determined to get him, surely benteke is of similar ilk.

I think that you just dislike Costa so much Nick that your bias clouds any judgement with regards to strikers

I am thinking all we have to do this week is match (or better) Tottenhams points tally.

4 with 4 to go (3 at home) should see us clear

Win against Southampton and Spurs will be on a real downer

Restore our 7 point lead and just kick the mugs out of the cup

If we drop points tomorrow we could be in big big trouble

Really is a crucial point in the title race
