All those who wanted Enzo gone, are you happy now😂.

It's pre-season, Reid hasn't had many minutes. They'll all feature this afternoon.

It's pre-season, they'll all get some minutes this afternoon.

Cooper's not a magician, these are the players he has to work with.

Now we're talking, more like the quality we require.

No idea why we would waste money on a backup keeper when we desperately need starters in attacking midfielder and striker positions.

*Daka

Definitely, 10 more goals than Daka will score

No he hasn't but he gets picked because of his pace. Any manager will choose pace for a striker. Neither is anywhere near Premier League quality though.

I think we only signed him because we expected Daka to leave last season, but has turned into a waste of money. Certainly not worth the transfer fee we paid.

I don't think Cooper's playing politics with the board. You need a settled first team and playing style before you start promoting youth, especially after a few weeks at the club. Alves didn't even feature towards the end of last season after injury under Enzo. He would need to be exceptional in preseason training to force his way into the starting lineup this early.

Results are not a problem, but not scoring goals in the last 2 games is a huge concern for me. Creative midfielders and goalscorers are desperately needed.

It's a wasted opportunity, with only 2 weeks until the season starts and we haven't strengthened the squad sufficiently yet. IMO it's better to get your business done early so you have maximum time to prepare for the opening games. It's too early to panic, but it's so frustrating following Leicester recently.

9 pts are available before the window shuts, yet we're incapable of getting the attacking options in early that we desperately need.

There's that many journalists these days they're across everything usually. I think it's his way of fielding interview questions without having to criticise the club. I just don't understand why we don't get our business done quickly. With a new manager and division, IMO we need as much time as possible to prepare with the final squad.

We desperately need creative midfielders but we're not being linked too any and the only concrete target appears to be Ayew. Just don't understand what the club is playing at.

Shit and uninspiring transfer link, just praying this doesn't happen. Our business has been shit so far, signing yet another CB and squad player from Fulham, whilst selling our best player for peanuts.

Didn't expect any different, we're struggling to get the players we need in midfield and a proper striker. Don't understand why Cooper didn't play Alves against Palermo from the start, he looked decent in the 1st preseason game.

Unproven and waste of money IMO.

Obviously not Ward, good save

I had no idea who BC Game was before all this publicity from high profile players about them being a shirt sponsor.

You've got to hand it to Chelsea, they just don't give a ****. We need their lawyers because they'll find even the smallest loophole when it comes to PSR.

It's about saving on a £25 million + transfer fee to get an equivalent replacement, for an area we're woefully short of players, who would have been on a 3 year deal anyway.

I know it was only the championship but I thought he was class last year. His last PL season wasn't a true reflection of Wilf because Rodgers played him out of position early in the season as a CB and destroyed his confidence.

It's this situation of having a cut price transfer window before 1st July. The PSR accounts should coincide with the end of the August summer transfer window. It will stop all this gaming of the rules and exploitation of clubs and academy players.
