If there's no Colwill or Fofana then we're down to Chalobah, Tosin and Badiashile.

And Hato

He's a LB for us

Tony Cascarino reacts to Carragher's claim that Chelsea are not close to challenging for the title:

🗣 "I mean, Jamie's a die-hard Liverpool fan like myself. And, well, he's not. He's an Everton, actually. But you know his affection for the club.

I understand there's been a quite an intense sort of rivalry between the two clubs [Chelsea and Liverpool] over the last couple of decades that never existed in years gone by. I don't agree with him. I think Chelsea are very, very close to being a title-winning team."

Nah most have just accepted the shet show we are. Probably would've spent 2 billion by the end of the transfer window only to be in the same position we were in before RA got the boot.
------------------------------------------------------
This, for me at least.

Don't like the approach, but I will admit we are doing it effectively. We get most of our targets (this is genuinely impressive) and move players on for reasonable fees.

I'm in the state of mind United fans should be in about the club. I've accepted what we are with these guys, so I'm just judging things based on how well we navigate with our self imposed limitations.

Enzo Maresca on Estêvão's position:

🗣 "He can play everywhere. He's so good. He's like Cole [Palmer] in terms of position. He can play outside, he can play inside. He can play everywhere in our five attacking positions."

I can see us picking up a fair few injuries given our triumph in the CWC, players will be exhausted and have had no real break

I expect us to crash at some point this season, or play mind numblingly slow football for large portions of it as Marseca tries to avoid this.

Least we won the CWC so there's compensation if this happens

Had my first McDonalds breakfast this morning in a while. Can't believe how expensive it's got just for a sausage egg Mcmuffin, hash brown and drink lol. It's gone up about 50% in the last couple years. Also the Mcmuffin looks smaller and didn't remotely fill me up. Cants.

Colwill picked up a serious injury in training, apparently we could go into the market for a CB now.

Maresca says Chelsea could go into the market if Colwill injury is bad :

“We’ll see, for Levi for the way we play, he’s so important”
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Orrrr we actually try Veiga there? It’s his preferred position, we already own the player and he has done well there fr the national team and Juventus.

I don’t care if he wanted to leave earlier. This kinda feels like the perfect opportunity to use him there. Can always sell in January if it doesn’t work out.

Yeah good shout but we're so intent on selling him. Not sure if he's been part of the squad training etc

Anyway to our favourite player this window:

BREAKING: #Chelsea have opened initial talks for Alejandro Garnacho, with the Manchester United winger keen on a move.

[via @JacobsBen]

Enzo Maresca on Nicolas Jackson’s future. “Nico is okay. When the window is open, anything can happen. This includes Nico's situation. At the moment, two new strikers have arrived. So we will see."

🗣 @FabrizioRomano on Xavi Simons: "His full focus is on Chelsea move. The two clubs [Chelsea and RB Leipzig] remain in contact, waiting for Chelsea to complete the outgoings, but now ready to advance again for this deal, with the player very keen."

Still potentially a lot of players to go, despite selling loads already:

Veiga
Badiashile
Disasi
Chilwell
Gilchrist
George
Datro Fofana
Sterling
Nkunku
Jackson

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Badiashile confirmed he's staying, we're not looking to sell him at the moment.

Majority of the others will move on, either loan or sold

Just watched the press conference, sounds like we’re looking to bring in another CB. Reporter asks Maresca about transfers and he goes on about Colwill’s injury.

Murillo incoming 🤞

Dealing with the Greek Suge Knight isn't easy

Damn just seen the Colwill injury news. When did that happen?

Monday based on BBC article

Guehi for around 40m is probably what we should go for. Although Liverpool will also be in for him

Guehi makes the most sense as he plays both sides and we have a discount

Sell on?
