So, the ones we have aren't any good, and the one's we might buy aren't any good, so where do we go then Mark? Stuffed, aren't we? If, that is, we believe your take on things,, which is always super negative.

Maybe, but we've also got a tough second half of the season after Christmas. With our defensive shortcomings and dull execution in the final third, there's certainly a possibility the wheels fall off the wagon - if not loosen and produce a wobble. It's not as if they've been solid as it is already, we've certainly ridden our luck more than I can ever recall before. There's only 8 points between us and 6th/7th/8th place currently, with Tottenham and Arsenal only 1 and 2 points behind us respectively in 4th and 5th places. I think dropping to 6th is possible in a worst case situation, while 3rd being the best case. A lot of it may also depend on what Sarri does in the Europa League and FA Cup, and if he does a Napoli and looks to sacrifice them to aid PL performances.

Official: Chelsea Part Ways With Antonio Conte

That's more on the club not being able to pry Sarri away from Napoli first. With Sarri being the clubs first choice it didn't really leave many other options but to stick with Conte until a Sarri deal could be completed with Napoli. Had the club removed Conte first and then subsequently failed in their pursuit of landing Sarri, it would have been shambles going into the new season without a manager and possibly having had to settle for a second, third, forth etc down the list of candidates. Something that may not have been any better then simply allowing Conte to see out the final year of his deal and then getting their first choice in Sarri after that. Either way, this has been ridiculously handled by the club and extremely petty - has been from the very beginning. -
We are 5 decent players and most of a bench short of where City are. There is no way we will challenge City this year. Nor will any other PL club. But I agree a decent striker should make us best of the chasing pack. Pity the other two, Liverpool and Spurs, look like being free from CL worries soon.
-
I really don't think manu or spurs will finish above us,man city are clear favourites for the title Arsenal will fall away and Liverpool are as consistent as us at the moment.So Man City to win the league and Liverpool and us vying for second and third. A decent striker and we could challenge City.

Different commentators over here..muted anyway!...Any of the recognized Chelsea central defenders could have played for USA probably better than our "loan" player...silly argument or comment from Tyler it would seem. Game?..better boys v boys...
-
For having more players on loan than at the club. Triggered by Matt Miazga playing for USA.
-
Haven't we already been here with Gael Kakuta ?
-
For signing teenagers?

Nine minutes into "farewell Shrek" and Martin Tyler coating us off already .

The song remains the same .

It's not UEFA but FIFA
-
I'm fluent and couldn't find anything either.

With this in mind it will be interesting for the next window if we don't buy anyone who we actually let go.

This transfer ban business is not really a new revelation. I read about it a while back regarding being investigated because Bertrand Traore played in a friendly against Arsenal, and the article confirms the investigation has been going on for 3 years. It also says 5 other clubs are being investigated, presumably some other top PL 6 teams as they are the most likely to make those sort of academy transfers. I think we are the only one named because that info is already out there and so being re-hashed.
-
Finally , sick and tired of the way Manchester City are flouting FFP , UEFA were left with no option than to ban Chelsea .
-
And now we could be facing a 2 year transfer ban. Let the good times roll.

My french isn't very good, but can't see a thing on the L'Equipe website about Kante
-
It appears as if Chelsea are close to a new contract for N'Golo Kante via L'Equipe in France. Read more: https://www.cfcnet.co.uk/chelsea-set-to-agree-new-contract-with-title-winning-ngolo-kante/

Yes I wondered that. Still it doesn't really seem to add up to much at all.

Droy was my hero replied to Martin1905's topic in The Chelsea Forum
No. they just made life difficult for him to prevent him going elsewhere (RM for example0 Historically RA's board has always treated staff with the utmost respect when letting them go. Think how they handled Wilkins leaving with discretion. Think how they handled the abuse some gave the club over Anelka (who in hindsight had already signed to go to China on a mega contract) and Alex (who was waiting for CA to be appointed at PSG and to follow him there). What is different with Conte. Simple - he took a massive pay rise in July 2017 in order to commit himself to Chelsea - and promptly started pushing for a move weeks later. For once, spite is 100% justified. The Eva was was to offer her loads to avoid court, and then have the court award less than had been on offer previously. Court was Eva's silly idea. -

Part of me is interested to see what would happen if we were banned for 4 windows....... Ampadu, CHO plus any numbers of the loan army could be used to suplement the lack of signings.
