east lower Posted Thursday at 14:57 Share Posted Thursday at 14:57 As some might observe, I do my best these days to stay away from the transfer speculation and the back & forth that goes with each 'potential' transfer. We have different owners and some may say a different Chelsea - But one thing remains the same, the media, other clubs and players agents still use us to get what they really want!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Posted Thursday at 16:56 Share Posted Thursday at 16:56 Not sure where he would fit in 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciatika Posted Thursday at 17:17 Share Posted Thursday at 17:17 I may be wrong, but I think de Bruyne left because his girlfriend started going out with Courtois, causing disruption in the dressing room. I am not sure whether it was a choice, but it seems typically Chelsea to have let KDB go and kept hold of Courtois. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH spending £40-50m on a player like D-H would not be an upgrade to the current squad.

Also seems that we’re being linked with absolutely everyone, even I’ve been offered to Strasbourg on loan.

Once you weed out friendlies, lower opposition in domestic cup games, a more than likely some piss poor opponent in the middle of nowhere in Europe and beyond, you come around 45-50. I really have no idea how the team will perform which the yes man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
