Sell Courtois for money. Put Willy Caballero as our main keeper this season and slowly hunting for #1 next summer.

Why Chelsea is delaying on free agent Brazilian winger Bernard?

Should be an easy job to persuade him but not sure why we are playing hardball on him?

Too many fat after World Cup...

Willy should be out first choice if possible.

Poor poor game. We deserved to lose the game. Instead of hoping to catch a glimpse of Sarriball, we got Pepball!?

The same crappy attitude of last season's performance. This is what you get when you don't spend good money on special player wisely.

Morata is a clueless striker. Slow pace striker that mainly cannot be trusted as our main striker. No wonder he's only a sub in Real Madrid. He has to be partially accountable for Conte's demise.

We really miss Diego Costa aren't we? Damn, even Giroud or Batshuayi won't make any difference!

We are lacking of leadership or motivator in John Terry. Alonso more suited as LWB than a LB. David Luiz is crap and I'm not sure why he's still our first choice and hopefully not this season. Jorginho was a quick passer but this team ain't Napoli.

Rudiger had a decent game. Azpi has no form. Ross Barkley was so so and Danny was Danny, nothing more than that. Pedro had a poor game together with Cesc. The only Chelsea player worth our time watching was Hudson Odoi.

The one thing I don't like about Willy is he likes to be too up from the goal post. Anyway he made a few good saves tho. Could have been easily around 5 or 6 - 0.

Overall poor defending, passing and upfront. We need a striker like Zlatan or Aguero.

Hazard, Kante and Courtois were our key players. No denial in that but Chelsea really need to get the players that suits Sarri style of football. Majority of these players were too slow to follow Sarri's system and the most disappointed thing was the lacking of fighting/comeback spirit and leadership/motivator attitude. Most of these players were highly paid and we expect serious quality.

Hudson Odoi really understand the system but it would be pointless if only less than three players able to follow the system. Based on my observation yesterday, the players can't do a Sarriball when our opposition played a high and fast tempo game.

The only Chelsea's Sarriball I witnessed was the first half of our pre season friendly against Perth Glory.

Overall, we need a formidable defenders and goal scoring strikers. I m not worried about our midfielders too much because I believed they will come good in the future with Jorginho and Kante partnership.

30 points of difference in #PremierLeague ranking between #ManCity and #Chelsea last season.
#Sarri asked till now these players:
1 #Higuain

3 #Rugani
4 #Caldara
5 #MilinkovicSavic

No one is a #CFC player.
Not easy to start with a trophy

We are playing against Lyon for the ICC tournament on early Wednesday morning at 3:00am (Malaysian time). Our last pre-season match.

How confident are you with our team this season?

Thibaut Courtois tells Maurizio Sarri he wants to leave Chelsea during meeting at training ground



Thibaut Courtois has told Maurizio Sarri that he wants to leave Chelsea during a meeting at the club’s training ground, according to reports. The Belgium international returned from his post-World Cup holiday on Monday to start training with his Chelsea teammates ahead of their first Premier League fixture against Huddersfield Town on Saturday.

Courtois is wanted by Real Madrid this summer and the 26-year-old is keen to return to the Spanish capital to be with his two children. After Chelsea’s defeat to Manchester City in the Community Shield on Sunday, Sarri insisted that he wanted to speak with Courtois before a decision was made over the goalkeeper’s future.

Courtois’ agent Christophe Henrotay had claimed last week that the Belgian had already communicated his desire to leave to Chelsea’s hierarchy. ‘I have no reaction on the agent. I’m not interested in the agent, I want to hear if Courtois tomorrow will say the same,’ said Sarri. ‘I have to speak with my club. I want only players with high level of motivation. I don’t have any answer to the agent.’

But according to ESPN, Courtois has now made his intentions clear to Sarri during talks at the club’s training ground in Cobham on Monday. Chelsea, however, are refusing to allow Courtois to join Real Madrid until they sign a replacement. But Chelsea also risk losing Courtois to Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer as the Belgian’s contract expires at the end of the season.

The last time I checked, he said there were always talk about players that do not honor their contract and he intends to deny that but now look who's choking on his words!

No one is bigger than the club. Thanks Courtois for the memories but on the other hand f*ck off!

As usual our club transfer dealer love chasing the ball after it was shot on target.....

Our club has become a cheapskate nowadays. No stadium, no Champions League, begging for a loan....

I kinda agree that. What's that dude that snubbed us for Monaco because of Emenalo?

That's why my initial suggestion is to play Willy for 1st choice this season while we hunt a new cheapskate keeper for next season....

What's the point buying a keeper now with such a high price? We don't want a Karius type of keeper or do we?

This bring me back to the sweetest memory turned nightmare about Robinho. Woke up in the morning and saw the headline Robinho/Real Madrid snubbed Chelsea for Man City in a record transfer of £32.5m deal ...

It seems like a club trend now to smash transfer record on a goal keeper than a striker....



Willian hammers Conte for selling Diego Costa: You don't lose a player like that



We have to pay the price of winning a FA Cup by losing Diego Costa.....

Great news for the club just like Liverpool! Finally we have a Kepa/Keeper that can block the whole damn goal post for £71.6m!

That’s a crazy turn of momentum from the Blues there, as we’ve gone from spending four months on getting the Sarri deal done to taking less than a day to shortlist Kepa and pay his buyout clause. Funnily enough, we had also refused to break the transfer record for goalkeeper by spending €75 million on then Roma player Alisson, who joined Liverpool instead, just to spend €5 million more on the Spanish keeper.

Sell him straight away!

You see Ross Barkley's confidence compared to that Morata?

Second that.

I will only remember the good memories with Courtois minus two days of skipping training....

If the reports were true, I don't get it what is the joy of loaning Kurt Zouma to our rival Man United?

I have my doubts on Marina's transfer dealing than Emenalo now.....

His reflect was fast tho but only time will tell.....

Zouma is Mourinho's ppl just like Jorginho and Sarri....
