I see us linked with Trevoh Chalobah again, but it says he's been banned from Chelsea's training facilities? Anyone know what that's about?

Only got enough keys to the gates for 50 players

Madness.

I see they're insisting on a certain fee for Lukaka too, which seemingly nobody wants to pay.

I'd love to see their wage bill. It must be ridiclous.

Newcastle aren't able to get into that position because of FFP. Although Chelsea are barely clinging on to being compliant, they're recent history and commercial operation enabled them to get into that position.

Why won't that 8 bracket sunglasses emoji die? It's been bad code for 20 years or more. Sort it out AI!

Chalobah looks like he could be decent. At 6'4" with Onana he'd give us a serious amount of height at set pieces, together with Mings when he's back.

At this rate Simeone is just going to keep Joao Felix. Another lovely goal. We could certainly do with a player like him.

You can see why Unai rates him so highly but I just can't see this happening now, which is the complete opposite of what I said three weeks ago when he was training on his own!

 I love the way the ball fell so nicely for him with only the keeper to beat. Then rather than miss the target he scored.  Fantastic stuff.

Is Dougie Louise playing for Juve in that game? Maybe he can sell Felix to us at full-time as a gesture of goodwill.

The Lo Celso rumour keeps popping up. Might just be a lazy connection because Spurs have told him he's free to leave.

Chalobah always looks decent when I see him but, at the risk of being a billy big boots, is he good enough for us right now?

Was he the Chalobah who scored against us for Ipswich in 2018? I could google I suppose*?

* it was

Chelsea have given Neto a 7 (seven) year deal.
