Aye, from what I've seen of Adama Traore he's largely erratic whilst possessing obvious talent. Chelsea already have better than him in his position so it's a slightly strange link, particularly when they don't know who will be their manager come next season. £30m seems slightly ridiculous as well but I have no gauge of player value anymore

Good post

Well if you buy all the best ones of the three teams it probably will We've got a squad full of recently relegated players, worked out okay for us. Almost like having a good manager actually counts for something. Yep that was my thinking too. In years gone by I perhaps wouldn't be so keen through not believing in the manager to instil a more positive, success-breeding mentality into the players via discipline and knowledge. We however have Rafa Benitez, which I still regularly find baffling & incredible that we've ended up in this situation

Massive improvement second half & the lads showed that they haven't gone entirely to sleep so I'll walk away from that about as pleased as you can be with a loss.

Gayle is absolutely awful imo. Should play Perez up top & Merino in behind for the final 2 games, Gayle does nothing.

Sell him they say

Dummett simply slid & missed the ball, he didn't even challenge the man who then came tumbling over him. Not a pen, and to say he massively took the man is just wrong

Justice served. Dubravka is immense.

You have to be joking?

Rafa's choice of clothing inspired by the snooker world championship's I see. Like it.

Dubravka (for the double save and the consequent bollocking of the defence).

As long as we turn up and try to win the game/press our opponents more than we have in the previous two, I'll be happy enough.

Looks like he's in fast forward in the City clips Hope he gets to show more of that next season!

I'd be surprised at that. He captained PSV to the title this season (replacing the great Luuk De Jong) scoring 16 goals on the way and is still only 25. Wouldn't be surprised to see Chelsea give him a shot next to Kante as their centre midfield options have been way below standard this season (Bakayoko, Drinkwater).

And it looks like they would have got to the final comfortably. Never been behind from the KO rounds. Gone through by a number of goals each time. If they win it, it will be deserved. I hope they do.

Other than the front 3 of Liverpool & Van Dijk, it's somewhat surprising to see that team line-up potentially/likely through to the last 2 in Europe - it looks fairly unspectacular on paper. That said I witnessed Chelsea beat Bayern with a make-shift 11 & a stand-in coach so I shouldn't be too surprised.

Nah, it's class man

His time here has hardly been disastrous like

Martin Dubravka V2.0.

The link up play between Messi & Suarez is absolutely ridiculous.

Still think there's some solid buys to be had from relegated Premier League clubs this season. Many say don't go for players who have been relegated, but to me it's not that straight forward and with a manager like ours I'd back him to get the best out of some of the better Stoke/Southampton/West Brom/West Ham/Swansea (whoever it may be) players.

The idea that we should replace our entire midfield is mental like, we need an attacker(s) & full backs more. Our midfield is relatively balanced & contains quality, youth & experience.
