it might be with all the add ons but Chelsea aren’t going to win the rugby World Cup ....... maguire was 80m up front plus some add ons ......... that was a good deal !

I have two bad knees now .... anyone know about bakers cysts?????

And all of those have proved to be ............

Regarding Lewis - he was on Liverpool’s Radar but they didn’t want to pay the 20m. someone clearly does .........or at least close to it .....

Post covid we need to be a little more realistic .....if we had made CL then we could have called their bluff a bit. We sort of need to sell Ben to do the business we want to do (and the player wants to go) There are some ‘connected’ Chelsea sources saying that it’s now happening. I doubt that anyone knows any details so numbers are just throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks ......

Thomas won’t be first choice if we bring in a left back .....

Except the new narrative is that we are getting around 50m which isn’t 80m .......

but they would prefer the money now rather than making additional arrangements with financial institutions and someone somewhere will probably offer that .....

All the above comments about them needing money seem to miss the point that big money was the last thing we were offering at the moment .......

I think he suits them well .... plenty of spuds fans thinks he slows down the game too much but I think he dictates the pace as he’s told to and would be good at the Etihad

Inconceivable that his mates haven’t told him he’s trending on twitter and there is chatter ..... so my point is that if there was anything of note going on then surely he would be keeping a low profile - his agent would have told him to stay off SM. That doesn’t mean nothing is happening, just that nothing significant has occurred today .....

To be fair, there are plenty of tweets saying nice things too seems a distinct lack of self awareness for him to put anything on social media this evening ....... could even muse that nothing much has actually happened regarding his future today as if there had been, surely he would be staying off places like twitter completely. And yes, clearly it’s to do with the Barca result ...

Why not? they will lose money on them (Suarez won’t be much of a fee for sure ) but many of the others will bring in a decent fee. I still think that players like trincao are seen as their future and they will want the fans to buy into young talent as they now rebuild.

I’m sure we do ........... nurse, he’s escaped again !!!!!!!

Barca’s capitulation this evening.means that young potential stars like this guy is their future ..... why would they sell or loan out ?

Is he a left back ? Also a centre back ....anyway, LCFCHQ arent a fountain of knowledge.....

Word that Emerson has agreed to go to inter ..... things begin to add up ..... of course Chelsea will be getting somewhere approaching 20m for him so chillwell around 50m won’t cost them much more than nett 30m cant help feeling that we end up looking a bit pathetic accepting 50m (forget all the ‘add ons’ because they aren’t secured ) when the word was we wanted a lot more and didn’t have any need to sell ...... (assuming that we do sell for around 50 )

Are we back training then ??.

given our defensive performances back end of the season, I would say we’re screwed without a decent replacement .....especially as we also lack forward momentum on that side without ben’s engine and we won’t have Ricky on the right till October at the earliest and he will need time to get into rhythm ....

And what does ‘a record for a left back’ mean ? That about 45/50m if we’ve sold Ben for that then Chelsea have had our pants down, especially with all the talk of how we don’t need to sell ......blah blah blah

He wants to be in London .......

I guess this is where we all end up ......although if the virus struggles to find a host (due to widespread vaccination) it may cease to meaningfully exist as has happened with SARS and mers. I guess we make sure those over 40 and younger with underlying health conditions are regularly vaccinated to protect society in general.

With our preference for playing full backs high and overlapping, we would prefer to use inverted wingers to avoid the full back and winger taking each other’s space in the final third ....

I thought that the estimate from previous studies was somewhere between 5 and 10% ? So 8 do t understand the surprise in the article and if these tests were done in late June/July, then surely many people who had a mild case back in March/April may well not show antibodies ?

unless our opening game is either of the Manchester clubs
