A good transfer night, finsihed off by Barkley and Llorente rejecting Chelski for us is great and Lemar rejecting ARSEnal just made it near perfect. Would have liked to see a pacey winger come in, but hopefully Nkoudou or maybe Edwards will get some chances. Our season starts now.

COYS.

Chelsea here in peace and reason. To be honest I woke up this morning quite satisfied with our dealings, don't get me wrong it could have been better as anything in life but I was satisfied, I also thought united, city and You guys did some pretty good business, better than us? For the two sides in Manchester I'd say yes, did they have to?! Of course they did I mean you lot and us walked the league basically last year I mean we knew some sides had to invest to catch up (Your neighbors though, What are they doing? ) . Liverpool also brought in a couple of good players better than you guys and us?! Probably not, however except their defense I think their side is relatively stronger.

That said I think it's easy to say things and laugh "Barkley and Llorente rejected Chelsea " to be honest I'm glad they did, you see players like chamberlain, Barkley etc. To me aren't what we needed to take it to the next level, I don't want to sound like a blue tinted Chelsea is the almighty kinda fan but if you look at the Chelsea team, the current Manchester teams anyone they bring in has to be next notch player to actually improve their squad to be able to compete for the champions league. i'm satisfied with the transfers we did and glad we missed out on a few cause to be honest I'd rather quality over quantity any day, laugh all you want about Barkley but even you have to be honest, no world class player would reject signing for Chelsea over spurs, I think you guys did great to keep your player, your defenders are too draw, Ali, Eriksen, Kane 5 star players that would walk into most teams in Europe and easily into any team in the country . Your project is fascinating, but unfortunately you guys are still on the level of trying to get enough player to complement them lot while to be honest Chelsea have a better team and just need maybe that one magical player in say Hazard bracket to become a powerhouse in European football.
So please don't gloat, that you got Llorente over us or that you might get Barkley, be pleased you kept your top hitters added some good quality to complement them while you work towards your project if not its sounds rather pathetic just wanting to have one over on us, I mean seriously, we're champions of England and just lacking a couple of world beaters to being one of the best in Europe, though you might not want to admit but we aren't on the same playing field atleast not yet, financially and in terms of expectations, in terms of drawing international players who actually want to win trophies.

Good luck for the season, good manager, good team with some 5 star players but unfortunately Wembley might see you lot miss out on top four. To be honest believe it or not in a fan who doesn't care much for hoping rival clubs fail all I want is for the blues to keep doing what they've done best in the last decade and a half win silverware.

ELI,

Fair post my friend, I gloat over the Llorente and Barkley deals, as Chelsea have so often in the past used their financial muscle to take players from us at the last minute, so to be able to get one over you buys is good.

In repsects to you comments about the Manchester Clubs, Chelsea and Spurs, I think it is very bias of you to say that you teams are better, your overall squads may be better but starting XI it very close between Us, you and ManU. I think our starting XI is just as good as either Chelsea or ManU. There are not many players in either of them squads I would take to Spurs over what we have, 1 maybe 2 players tops, De Gea and Hazard that's its. The other way round, I think both Manu and Chelsea would take several of our, Toby, Alli, Dier, Kane, Eriksen, Rose and even Aurier now, that shows the strenghth of our starting XI, after that we struggle a little, but this Transfer window has gone a little way to sort that, I think we still lack real pace and width but that will come.

You stat about world class players choosing Chelsea over Spurs, I think we are starting to see the reprecussions of the likes of Chelsea, ManC and such, buying all the top players and a vast majority of them never playing and endlessly going on loan and then having to leave to rebuild their careers elsewhere, players now think twice about coming to them types of teams. Allowing teams like Tottenham to get better quality players thus levelling the playing fields.

Gents, that's what's great about football, everyone has an opinion. We all want our team to be the best, bragging rights act.

There is some fair points by both parties There, I don't agree with you Eli with regards to top players etc. are your suggesting that Llorente (world cup winner) and Barkley are NOT top players? my counter argument to that would be, then why are you attempting to sign them?

Previously the top teams have paid higher fees and/ or wagers to secure players, that now seems to be swinging. Look at the Ox taking £60k less a week to go to Looserpool.

I further like the way we run our team. It's not a dig, but Chelsea, City and United have spent ridiculous amounts of money for their success. Looserpool have also spent a lot without the recent success of the other 3.

That said look at the Woolwich, there is some major issues within their club. The past players talk of winning 3 recent trophies (the fans state 6, Inc 3 community shield 😁 they'll be adding the hemorrhoids trophy soom) and that Wenger prioritised those trophies with their A team over the last 4 years because others did not and the gooners knew they couldn't succeed in the other competitions.
