Chelsea is having a very big problem and they can only be better after this season. I have not lost hope in Potter. I know Chelsea will have a better team with the kind of transfers they are signing now. It only takes patience and trust to believe the system and have trust till things are better. Meanwhile Chelsea should be very patient with their coach
At least give potter some times to prove it. Todd has been fully believes in what has already been done by potter. Potter needs to build what he was thinking that's gonna be making the club able to win trophy again. It needs time for the new players to adapt to the play style of Chelsea.
Trust is actually needed in this case. You have so many new players and how can you expect good results from all of them without giving them all more time to play? It's just getting started and I do believe chelsea will come back again as a deadly club in EPL next season.
Chelsea is now trying to build the new generations in the club.

Yeah and now, for me, who wants to go to Chelsea now and sit on the bench? Only people who don't mind not playing (aka not hungry enough). Something tells me it's not just about Chelsea being idiot in transfer, I wonder if also about Potter not knowing what he's doing or can he really be blameless here?

I don't think he's got a say in it to be honest.
Who wants to have a team of 35 players - that is an unmanageable situation for any manager, let alone an inexperienced one (which Potter is on that level).

They are making some sort of a long-term plan, bringing in young players with potential and giving them 10-year contracts.
I have said it before but I'll repeat it once again - I see this backfiring spectacularly.

It is very shameful for Chelsea to have all this players and still no better performance and they continue to sign in more players.  Can all this players participate in every game, not possible.  Some players most times will be on the bench and it can affect skills of players always sitting on bench.

 I don't think is a shame to say, Chelsea is one of the best clubs in England but what they're going through now will be a thing of the past because when you're desperate to get results you might get nothing but failure and disappointment, they want quick result which is coming from the owner but that's not how to get positive result in football. They're struggling with injuries and they're still getting in more players, is good to get in more players but the question is can you manage them when the time comes?
 The manager knows best on how to control the team, is best to sell some players that ain't productive instead of keeping good players on the bench the best thing is to make a change by removing those ones that are more than 30yrs plus (the ones that are not doing well). By bringing fresh legs into squad they might make it to top 6.

It all depends on the club PSG to make final conclusion.
PSG already made final decision and navas agreed with such decision. Navas thinks that if that would better for him to play for forest rather than not getting regular time to play in the main squad. You can even read some articles that already discussed about that. PSG has even confirmed it if navas will be moving to the EPL. i think that it's just the matter of time until navas will be playing in EPL.

Goalkeeper Donnarumma plays very well at PSG. I watched him at the Lens game. He single-handedly kept PSG in the game. Navas has little chance of getting the jersey from him. Therefore, transferring to another team would be the best decision for him. Since he is 36 years old, he will not have many alternatives, but he can still play in one of the middle class teams. I think Nottingham Forest or Al Nassr might be some of the best options for him.
It's always a tough decision when a player reaches the age of 36, but you bring up some great points about potentially playing for a middle-class team. Nottingham Forest and Al Nassr are both interesting options for him, but it will ultimately depend on what he feels is the best fit for his career and personal goals. Or he can simply retire and find some other things to do. Let's see what he decides!

The biggest probably crap news I hear today is Lukaku wanted by both Newcastle AND Spurs. I usually don't pay attention to that kind of nonsense but something tells me it's actually true. Heh.

I really don't understand how Chelsea plans to fulfill the FFP rules. These rules are a joke, yes, but still something like this should not be possible.
If they actually do buy Fernandez, they will be near 600 million euros in net spend since Boehly took over, and they almost certainly won't have CL profits next season.

I wonder what's going to happen to Potter - this team is too expensive for such poor results.

A bit surprised to see the latest news from romano if chelsea was ready to pay €120m which is crazy. I can't even think about what has been thinking by the management of Chelsea. I meant we shall try to take a look at so many capable players like caicedo or mcallister from brighten. These players can perform even better than him. I meant this gonna be a random transfer by Chelsea. Chelsea's new owner looks so crazy as fuck about wasting money without even thinking for twice. It seems like that Chelsea wanna try to go all in the last transfer of this guy.
Enzo shall not have such high clause release. It doesn't make sense to pay him with lots of money like that. That's crazy.

I really miss Chelsea under the leadership of Roma Abramovich, he knows what he has to do and who are the players he deserves to buy, very different from the current owner of Chelsea, the latest news is that Chelsea agreed to buy Enzo Fernandes for 120 million euros, I think this is really crazy.

 Abramovich is a man that understand the game he never let every single details get past him in times of transfer window, he never takes decision alone on like the current Chelsea owner, he just do things as it pleases him without asking for assistance or even consulting some of the boards so I think. Because if you look at it from all he has been doing is like he's running the show alone, spend more than he's suppose to and I think Chelsea has spent more in this transfer window than any other clubs.
 In this period Todd is suppose to work with the coach to know what kind of players he needs, he has gotten some good players that are injury free but come on, you need the coach to at least act more in this transfer window, is not all about the money sometimes.

I don't think Lukaku move would be good for Tottenham. Because I don't see any meaning in this while Tottenham have players like Kane and Richarlison already in the team.

If Lukaku comes to Tottenham I assume he would like to be a part of the starting eleven. But it is too difficult for him to get the position from Kane. Because Kane is showing an amazing performance in this season also and he is right behind Haaland in top scorers now. Lukaku's fate would be the same as now. He can't take his place back in the starting eleven from Dzeko now. Besides I believe we don't have the old Lukaku anymore. He was indeed bad in the World Cup and he doesn't seem good in the Serie A now also.

Off course Yes! Don't forget that Harry Kane has been linked with a move outta Tottenham Hotspur to Manchester United and Bayern Munich. The move to Manchester United seems likely in my own view but time will tell.

So imagine Harry Kane out and Romelu Lukaku filling up his role for him, they already have a good relationship at Inter Milan Yes! ( Antonio Conte and Romelu Lukaku ) where we saw Lukaku banging and scoring goals that season.
He can still bang those goals in if he is available for Tottenham Hotspur next season, Antonio Conte knows how to make good use of the player.

The same way Hallaand is scoring, I think Lukaku and Haaland should be considered in the same category, give them the ball to send it back in.

Brighton didn't wanna let him go even though arsenal has been offering 70 million pounds for him. Brighton is still waiting for another offer from other big club like Chelsea. chelsea itself has been increasing its offer to the enzo fernandes with 100 millions and player as a bonus for benfica. Chelsea looks so crazy these days. I think that Chelsea may even deal with brighten to buy caicedo for 80 millions pounds. The small club was pricing their players so crazy. i don't know how chelsea will be able to get a profit after spending so much money.

There's a new offer from Chelsea to Benfica to sign Fernandez, Chelsea is now offering 120 Millions Euro which is really high, he's not really that worth to spend for 120 Millions Euro. I think Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton is better than Fernandez, he was a giving more contribution in the previous World Cup. Chelsea keep spend a lot money to buy a new player, if the result isn't same like Potter's imagination, I don't know how Todd Boehly will react after this huge spend.

You are right. Enzo Is not worth that amount. Portugal's premier league is the least among all 6 European competitions, Who knows whether Enzo will survive the pressure in England's premier league? Benfica management only put forward this overplus price tag because they have seen how desperate the Chelsea team needs a midfielder and also because the club has money. Of course, no team will pay such an amount for Enzo even if they have it.

Sunday's transfer gossip:
Newcastle and Tottenham could move for 29-year-old Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku, who is currently on loan at Inter Milan from Chelsea, in the summer. Does this mean that Lukaku is returning to England again?
Source: https://www.bbc.com/sport/64441281
The value of Newcastle United is rising day by day. I think this transfer will be a great opportunity for Romelu Lukaku. Because he seems to have left his prime period behind. He may not get the opportunity to play for bigger teams again. His performance in recent years has been in a sharp decline. Even if he transfers to Tottenham, he may not be able to go back to his old days. But maybe he can do it in Newcastle. Because Eddie Howe used Chris Wood very well. He can do the same for Romelu Lukaku. Both players have similar characteristics.

I think if Romelu Lukaku decides to go to Tottenham, it is going to be a bad move because Tottenham is expected to achieve so much right now. But compared to that no one actually expects too much from Newcastle United. Even if Newcastle United stays in the same position that they are in right now, I don't think that anyone is going to make a big fuss out of it. And because of that, he is not going to have too much pressure to perform. So eventually his performance is going to be good in my opinion. At least better compared to what he might have been doing in Tottenham.

Lukaku has reach to his top performance in Inter when Conte train this team so probably he feel with reunited with Conte he will be able to performing well again but Tottenham has Kane and Son which is where their performance is much better than Lukaku in Premier League so in my opinion moved to Tottenham is risky for his career because possibly he will spend his time on the bench because being an substitution player for those players

On the other hand although with Inter Lukaku has spending more time with injuries but apparently Inter still trust him and they hopes Lukaku can find his shape again that's why Inter thinking possibilities to extended his loan duration but they want cut off the price because Lukaku's performance is not as expected

Arsenal have started to spend quite a lot of money recently. After increasing their potential in the Premier League they want to play as big as possible.

Arsenal have offered 70 million pounds for Moises Caicedo while Brighton are insistent on 80 million. I expect them to reach an agreement in the middle. Actually Arsenal were said to have a less transfer budget than the amount they offered but it looks like the case is the opposite. Arsenal are doing their best not to secure only the Champions League but also the Premier League title. They have done a very good job about that so far.
I think if Arsenal keep insisting sooner or later a deal will happen and indeed this time it seems they are still obsessed with Brighton players considering that they also managed to bring in Trossard.
However, the performance of Brighton's players has been good enough so far that it would not be too wrong to even dare to pay such a high price.
Moses is a good player that will be very profitable for arsenal if eventually arsenal signs him. I believe the will definitely be completed since what arsenal have to pay is close to the price of what Brighton wants to give him out for.

Moises Caicedo is a midfielder who is very suitable for Arsenal's strengths and is very influential so that they always get wins, considering that Arsenal are currently at the top of the standings so that a very difficult task is to maintain Arsenal's position which is already in first position. Arsenal must move quickly to buy Moises Caicedo so they don't miss the opportunity.
The decision about moises caicedo has not yet been made by brighton. Brighton was still waiting until the end of month. I think that brighton expects chelsea to come with bigger offer compared with arsenal since chelsea is also seeing caicedo as best alternative for enzo from benfica. I see no reason for chelsea not to give better offer compared with arsenal. i hope that chelsea will try to hijack caicedo from arsenal as soon as possible.
The transfer season will have come to its end. Any big clubs like chelsea and arsenal must be in urgent to get the remaining players from another club.

They are having a good performance, if they get Moises Caicedo they may have the opportunity for Arsenal to finally fill that space for greatness, for me as far as ARSENAL is concerned, what they need is more luck, because they have very good material, which The players have a very good future and it can be said that now what they need the most is good leadership, something that could be quite good for them, however they are under a lot of pressure both in the PL and in the Europa League, I think that for now I don't know who what will they give more priority to, I would prefer that they give their all, regardless of fatigue, it is the best they can do as long as the players take good care of themselves.

Roberto De Zerbi confirms Brighton are ready to SELL Moises Caicedo to Arsenal



Quote
The Ecuadorian midfielder made a surprise public transfer request after the Premier League leaders had a £60million bid rejected by Brighton, having knocked back a £55m offer from Chelsea earlier in the window.

Speaking after his side’s 2-1 FA Cup win over Liverpool - which Caicedo sat out - De Zerbi suggested he was ready to use the player’s sale to improve his squad in the final days of the January window.

“Caicedo is a very, very good guy,” he told reporters.

Very crazy that, Brighton refused an offer of 68 million euros, they definitely do not intend to sell the 21-year-old player in this transfer window, since, with the sales of Marc Cucurella to Chelsea, Neal Maupay to Everton and Leandro Trossard to Arsenal itself, they have a good amount of money in their pockets, it is not prudent to have more casualties in their squad since money is not an issue for now.

However, Arsenal, which is the current leader of the Premier League, needs to hire in midfield, nothing urgent, this was a long-term goal, but with the injury of midfielder Mohamed Elneny, the movements intensified and with that, Caicedo passed to be the target of the London club, which runs out of time, since, in England, the deadline for transfers is January 31.

I'm sure Arsenal will make a new investment for the player, will they offer the 80 million?
The seagulls have missed out on most of their keyplayers this season with letting go three of their star players and it's affecting them in league games. Despite pulling a big threat to big clubs in the league, they would start looking for new players that will replace the outgoing ones. Not letting Caicedo go is totally understandable because he's one of the keyplayer in the team. Moises Caicedo is one of the essential player remaining for brighton Albion and they're trying their possible best to hold him back inother to use him for their league games and he's very keypart for Roberto De Zerbi in the team. Arsenal did submitted a good bid worth over £70m with add-ons but brighton still stand on their ground and declined their bud request. Such a hard time for gunners as they want him in the team as soon as possible, moreover they're the club leading in the race to bring him over to emirate stadium.

Hopefully with time Graham Potter will slowly work something out and get his squad together to am improved form. I don't expect Chelsea to sack Potter at this time, I think they must have learnt a few lessons from past occurrence and changed the idea of sacking coaches too quickly. It will just take time and patience, I believe in Graham Potter to bring the club back to glory days.

I am always interested in the question at whose expense "someone" (in this case Chelsea) plans to return to the top (at least enter the top 4)? It's very crowded at the moment and even clubs like Liverpool and Tottenham can't get in. I don't know whether Potter will be fired or not, but the Premier League has come to a point where even if you find 10 Sir Alex Fergusons, some of them will turn out to be complete losers.
Todd has no reason to fired potter. I meant todd has been spending almost 500 millions for potter. How can todd fired him then? that scenario unlikely to happen with potter. It seems todd wants potter for the long term in Chelsea. that's why todd wans spend so much money for him to build the dream team. There was still another mission like bringing enzo fernandes to stamford bridge. This gonna be the most difficult task caused by benfica was a greedy club. Chelsea shall spend more money to get moises caicedo rather than enzo which is always getting manipulated by benfica.
