Abramovich wrote off our debt. You guys did same with Van Dijk wrt Fofana, tried to buy him in the summer after he got a serious injury but couldn't.

Personally if he flops that will force Tuchel to do what he's supposed to do and just play Chalobah there. There's still a few people we are looking to get rid of and I guess that season where we bought nobody due to the ban gives us more leeway. Also FFP doesn't exist, not hard to do some creative accounting.

So you're saying the purchase meant all the debt was wiped? Not sure how all the FFP rules work (or lack thereof) but I guess it could wipe old overspend.

Sure but VVD was like 25 or 26 at that point so a bit more developed and experienced. Also he was out for like 6 months whereas Forfana was out for like 9 months.

Well Chelsea spent massively the summer after your transfer ban so I assume all that leeway was already used up.

Well at least Fofana is on his way.

Tbh I guess this will force us to use another creative outlet besides James. Outside of Sterling, I don't know if anyone in that midfield or attack has had a good performance yet

Sterling has been playing well. Got his goal eventually

Looked completely lacklustre since they equalised. Probably deserve to be behind.

Is the Tuch on the verge of a very nerdy breakdown?

Noone really looked that good. Maybe Sterling but even then he takes too long on the ball to pick his pass or shot.

Why was Koulibaly playing as a deep right winger for the last 30 minutes and 2 left backs playing within 5 yards of each other.

Weird.

Buy Dumfries Jesus Christ man.

No Reece James no ******* party. Man is basically our 2022 version of Hazard.

Yeah with Chillwell not back to last season's form, James is literally the only guy who can run up those chance creation stats ffs. Desperately need a midfielder too and Tuchel knows because he's complained about it today.

Broja just needs to be given a run of games now, I couldn't tell you what Havertz has done this season.

Well goes back to the point that we should have got Fabregas back, we can talk all day about him not being physically capable but Southampton sat back for half an hour and because we can't pass the ball more than 5 yards due to our ******* midfield maestro ballon d'or contender can't actually break the lines during attacks.

This is boring to watch now, just get Hazard and Fabregas back at this rate don't care.

Also Kovacic should be starting even if he's injured.

Pretty sure he'll be sacked before the end of the season.

I can’t see him, Gerrard, Lampard, Rogers and potentially Moyes, Cooper or Lange lasting the full season.

Rogers feels the most likely to walk into one the other jobs, with Aston Villa being my bet.

Dyche is almost guaranteed to get the Everton job for me as well.

I guess it depends where they finish in the league? I think if Gerrard finishes 12th or higher he might get one more season. Lampard if 15th or higher.

Feel like Rodgers might get sacked unless finishes top 8 as may view as stagnating under him.

Wonder if Bournemouth will go for Dyche.

7 year deal for Forfana. Bit mental really - Chelsea really should've done a 5 year deal with option to extend by 2 years.
