@Chels_HQ @talkSPORT That would make sense if we were buying them cheap, but we overpay on pretty much every transfer. Who's giving us our money back for Gittens, Garnacho, Jorgensen, Fofana, etc? I don't think that's their plan, the problem is whatever plan they do have is clearly shit.

Ian 'Moose' Abrahams: "Under this ownership, I don't think it really matters to this club whether they finish 10th, 12th or 6th. All that matters to them is their project; to get in players and sell them for a profit after they're done with them." (@talkSPORT) #BlueCoOUT

@NoContextBrits Gotta use toothpicks. Rookie mistake, you hate to see it.

@JodyMorris Fancy a job on Sunday? Please? 😂

Wow was just told that since Enzo scored in Paris….its been 0-16 against high level opposition (obviously not including the port vale win)…,and should easily be in the early twenties to nil just with this Brighton game

@chelseayouth True. You almost need them to get a monopoly so at least all of the games are in one place. It's definitely not a fan-friendly model at the moment.

@Jon_DC91 the only way an in-house production becomes the PL's primary method of domestic distribution is if Sky and everyone else just can't afford to pay for rights (unlikely), and Sky need the PL to remain viable themselves, so they're locked in together forever imo

the Premier League definitely needs even more money right now yes

@CarefreeYouth Where would you see Barco playing for us? LB or CM? He reminds me a bit of Billy G, but that might just be his build.

I watched Strasbourg again last night. Really impressed with Mike Penders this season (first season watching) And my football manager scouts in previous season are right. Valentín Barco is a top talent. It’s at this point just saying what window do we agree to buy.

@CarefreeYouth The sell-on fee is probably the only saving grace.

Will be peanuts in the bigger picture

@CarefreeYouth Think we'll see Enzo/maybe even Santos in the 10 a lot more often too. Don't think Palmer will play back to back games very often for the rest of the season.

I’m not sure it’s an ideal move for Douglas Luiz. LWorld Cup in the summer. If he’s moving surely it’s to get more game time. Yes he will be rotated in but I’m sure he wants to start and that won’t happen here unless I don’t know the full story on the status on some of our squad

@OllieGlanvill I think it's more in keeping with the spirit of the law than what we have now. Feel like we'd get a lot more goals, but be interesting to see how strikers and CBs changed their approach.

All it does is move the line of measurement. It’s a nonsense idea

@CarefreeYouth @journalism_rp It would be good for the match day experience I guess, but it depends a bit on the position. Shim would be good, Derry has probably earned it, RKM would be cool after his contract signing - but Gittens/Guiu/Steve probably need a full 90, and Garnacho hasn't played much either.

@Jon_DC91 @journalism_rp They can all start. You can have experience on the bench. You have 9 spots on the bench. 8 can be experienced. I expect those he sees as experienced and on the bench are on it cause he wants to rest. So if needed he can bring on. If winning he can bring on said youngster

Not really surprised Liam Rosenior has not called up any Dev squad or U18s for today's match. It's his first game in charge, he's going to go strong and want a result.

@CarefreeYouth @journalism_rp Another problem is most of our second-string men's squad needs minutes too, and a lot of them are U21. Guiu, 20 Gittens, 21 Estevao, 18, Santos, 21 Essugo, 20, Josh, 19 Hato, 19 Wouldn't be surprised if they all feature, and we probably want experience on the bench just in case.

@journalism_rp Carabao cup vs Arsenal two legs or a final. Cant see it. FA Cup is likely the only chance academy players get a chance this season and the further you get the more likely you get PL sides and rotation is less likely. Early rounds are the best chance or likely nothing

@ChrisGagg Probably on par with a few of our CBs on the ball tbf 😂

I really hope and pray with all my heart that Rosenoir doesn’t use Sanchez as a CB in possession the way he’s been using Penders in Ligue 1 Can you imagine the absolute car crash that would be 😂

@_JoeAlexanderr Wrong system or wrong players in the system. James, Chilly, Alonso, Cole, were/are all very good finishers.

It has to be a systematic failure that Gusto and or Cucurella are getting on the end of chances. No sympathy for Maresca from me

@FaceValueCFC Every fanbase would do it, they're just the only ones who do it with a holier than thou attitude.

Those Scouse are so weird booing.

@1JamesCHELSEA Still think he should have come in after Tuchel/Potter. Say what you want about his tactics, but he knows how to build a spine and build that us against the world mentality.

I've absolutely loved Mourinho, disliked him at Spurs (just why) But deep down i will always love him for all those memories he brought to me/us What a manager when he was with us, what great times, I will never forget

@Jai_Mcintosh In terms of quality, no. But he couldn't stay fit here for whatever reason. It was a good move for him and RLC in that sense.

In all seriousness, have Chelsea really upgraded on him? I am unsure.

@JimboSlice8511 @terryflewers Except the PGMOL said he was sent off for DOGSO, not serious foul play. If it was for the high challenge, he'd have had a three game ban instead.

@terryflewers High foot showing studs and the studs make contact with mbeumo knee. Sanchez tackle is a red card tackle anywhere on the pitch.

Last week, Sánchez gets the faintest of touches before wiping out Mbeumo who, like Gyökeres today, was clean through and likely to score. That’s given as a foul and a red. So why is one punished and the other waved away? Which was the correct decision?

@1JamesCHELSEA You're right, but that was a very Sanchez-like goal to concede. Complete with awkward stumble 😂

People were having a go at me saying Donnarumma wasn't an upgrade on Sanchez... 🤦‍♂️ Honestly please 🤣

@TavernFootball Gianfranco Zola

Morning all. A question for a Friday. Who was your first footballing hero?

@_JoeAlexanderr They expected to find a buyer I guess. We bought two strikers to replace him, it's only an issue now because one got injured. If Delap was fit and Jackson had gone on Saturday would people still be expecting a third striker to come in? All the noise was about Xavi and Lopez.

@Jon_DC91 That’s amateurish from the board then, who the fuck burns a bridge to no return with what was your starting #9 and with whom you gave a year extension to last year?

So after another £200 million + spent, Marc Guiu who couldn’t buy game time at Sunderland will be starting for Chelsea. Not a club serious about winning.
