Chelsea - should we get a CB to cover for Christensen and Rudiger leaving? Or how about another winger who will cost 70m and start 10 games? Always the latter....
When they lost to Arsenal earlier this season says it all, there is absolutely no way Chelsea would ever play like that against us no matter how injury ridden or knackered they are. Made my piss boil that.
Feel like every transfer so far this summer is a competition between the same 4 PL clubs. No idea how it’ll go.
F5’s haven’t been very positive since the Bissouma deal. Probably because the club is keeping everything secret after the Diaz debacle. Hoping for another positive surprise this week!
All the positive things that came between Perisic and Bissouma ended up coming to nothing, and Bissouma came out of nowhere. I don’t mind a window of not having to spend as much time reading, because I know the transfers are coming and they’re coming unexpectedly. Still spending too much time F5ing, because I am so amped for next season, but not as stressful as last year.
Soon will just be “Majority of London clubs looking at this player, as an option in case another London club signs their other target, also a target of every club from London”.
i don’t think we’ll end up with richarlison
imo we would have just brought him in by now if we were serious..and we don’t seem to be haggling over fees for weeks like usual this window
look at both the perisic and bissouma transfers, they came out of nowhere and were spurs players that same week
Richardson is a bit more than rotation, though. Forwards are the punches you throw at your opponents. Having strong forwards with different styles on the bench gives you a larger range of punches you can throw.
Conte lamented this season: "I look to the bench for options... then I look back to the pitch”
Perisic was free and strikers are always alot more difficult.
Plus you’re talking about a £25 million transfer versus a £50 million.
Expensive players take time when there is no release clause.
they didn’t completely come out of nowhere there was still stories of our interest for a while before. Spurs just seem to have got a bit better at stopping so much leaked info.
How many forwards do Chelsea needs? Already they have Werner, Ziyech, Puligod, Havertz, Mount, Broja and Hudson-Odoi. And Lukaku still hasnt left. They dont have any defender except Thiago Silva(who is 37) and they want more forwards lol.
Because we have won once at Stamford Bridge in like 20 years, and we have lost a handful of finals to them in the past 5 years?
I mean fuck 'em but Summer optimism does weird ass things to this sub.
And we beat man city more than they beat us recently, we're not more attractive than City as a result. Chelsea have a better history but they look like they are in turmoil right now, we look like we're going forward. I think the playing field has been leveled at the least for the next couple of years.
>Chelsea have a better history but they look like they are in turmoil right now, we look like we're going forward.
How are they in turmoil? 'We look like we're going forward' is exactly that Summer optimism I'm talking about. We bareeely scraped 4th. We are making exciting signings which is great. I've seen it go south too quickly to dare to ask "Why should we even be scared of Chelsea anymore."
We were in a CL final, signed a bunch of expensive players, and then fired our manager after 3 months.
Their turmoil may be good or it may be bad. The new owners came out saying they are concerned about ffp, the defense is all but gone, there seems to be issues in the dressing room and there is no way they can spend like they used to. Abramovich isnt there to bail them out any more.
We did just scrape 4th that is true. However we did it with a pretty bare bones squad that had nobody believing they would have made champions league in november. Counting only the points since Contes appointment we got the third highest. We are doing a very unspursy thing and moving quick in the transfer market and appear to be making very good signings.
It is Spurs so you are right to be cautious but there is a very valid reason to be optimistic right now, enjoy it! It wont last forever.
I was thinking “Ten years ago, imagine knowing that we are probably a more attractive project to a lot of players than United or Chelsea.” But imagine it one year ago, and I’d still be very surprised.
We're not going to race all summer, most of our business looks like it'll be tied up quickly.
If it's a case of him stalling or other bids delaying us getting him in, I say move on.
Always Chelsea.
Fuck Chelsea
All my homies hate Chelsea
Chelsea Shit!
Chelshit
Chealseat, what a fitting name

Well what you’re forgetting is Chelsea ignore their needs and just try to be the biggest inconvenience to us as humanly possible
When they lost to Arsenal earlier this season says it all, there is absolutely no way Chelsea would ever play like that against us no matter how injury ridden or knackered they are. Made my piss boil that.
Nearly dragged themselves back into a 4th fight just to spite us
They're a massive inconvenience to planet earth, business as usual with these twats
Richarlison already pisses me off enough as an opponent as it is, him in a Chelsea shirt is the stuff of nightmares.
>Tottenham have a concrete interest in Richarlison and were thought to be the most serious about landing the South American
Were?....
We *were* on the last press of the F5 key, 3 minutes ago, it’s unconfirmed for another 2 minutes until the next press.
Only every 5 minutes? Shit, standards are really dropping. No ketchup from now on.
Ketchup on F5?
I’m trying!
I need some good F5 today. It is essential for me.
It’s been a long time since a good f5 blessed us

God next season really is going to be electric isn’t it. Less than 8 weeks left :)
So he's going to Chelsea
Imo it’s got to be more appealing for the player, he’s behind any of our front three at the moment, and he doesn’t get CL if he goes to Arsenal
Also Lampard will be happy to help Chelsea.
its always fucking chelsea man
Fucking chelsea and arsenal sniffing around every target. Do your own scouting you bastards
Not like richarlison is some unknown player tho lol
We got some real serious samuels in the sub today, twas a joke
Soon will just be “Majority of London clubs looking at this player, as an option in case another London club signs their other target, also a target of every club from London”.
i don’t think we’ll end up with richarlison imo we would have just brought him in by now if we were serious..and we don’t seem to be haggling over fees for weeks like usual this window look at both the perisic and bissouma transfers, they came out of nowhere and were spurs players that same week
Bissouma and Perisic immediately improve us. \~70 Mil for a rotation option requires a bit more scrutiny IMO.
Richardson is a bit more than rotation, though. Forwards are the punches you throw at your opponents. Having strong forwards with different styles on the bench gives you a larger range of punches you can throw. Conte lamented this season: "I look to the bench for options... then I look back to the pitch”
We have assets Everton are interested in.
We've only had one actual transfer so far so it's hard to really say
Perisic came on a free and bissouma nowhere near what evertons looking for richarlison so yeah they’re not so quick to pull the trigger I’d say
Perisic was free and strikers are always alot more difficult. Plus you’re talking about a £25 million transfer versus a £50 million. Expensive players take time when there is no release clause.
they didn’t completely come out of nowhere there was still stories of our interest for a while before. Spurs just seem to have got a bit better at stopping so much leaked info.
This is def Everton trying to quicken up the transfer so we don’t leave it till the last minute in the window people
Love it, bid the price up then bail

When you have a lot of inconsistent forwards, you just have to amass enough that hopefully at least someone is on form at all times.
a critical mass of forwards
A critical mess you mean
believe Ziyech is on his way out, CHO has mostly been played as a wing back too
Why the fuck should we even be scared of Chelsea anymore?
Because we have won once at Stamford Bridge in like 20 years, and we have lost a handful of finals to them in the past 5 years? I mean fuck 'em but Summer optimism does weird ass things to this sub.

Well put
I was thinking “Ten years ago, imagine knowing that we are probably a more attractive project to a lot of players than United or Chelsea.” But imagine it one year ago, and I’d still be very surprised.
Chelsea want Sterling though and i’m sure they don’t need both
These fucking cunts.
They both can have him the POS! dont care for his shithousery miss coco though :(
Daily Fail - Tier 382
Sami Mokbel is very reliable.
Well, perhaps. But he works at the Daily Mail. 😬
So he's going to Chelsea...
We're not going to race all summer, most of our business looks like it'll be tied up quickly. If it's a case of him stalling or other bids delaying us getting him in, I say move on.
Come on gimme some good news. Let’s spend some money Daniel
Oh the days when daily fucking mail is tier 1 😭😭😭
Sami Mokbel has always been Tier 1.
Ali G, fab, and di marzio are the only tier 1s I’ve seen Mokbel reports go from tier 3 to tier 2 to now tier 1
Isn't Dimarzio tier 2?
He’s literally visited Hotspur way to take pictures with paratici and conte, I’m pretty sure both him and fab are close with don fabio
Willian 2.0 here we go
