Wow. Wow. Start polishing off my prem.

Highly doubt Chelsea brings in both players.

As a Liverpool fan, again, I would be thrilled if your club signs Pedro. He's not the goal scorer you need -- of his 10 PL goals, 5 PK.

I can factually state Chelsea will not be bringing in both of those players. If anything it will be one or the other.

As a Liverpool fan, again, I would be thrilled if your club signs Pedro. He's not the goal scorer you need. Like a brother looking after his younger sisters, "Stay away from Ekitike."


Cry Loserpool fan ahahahah, I can detect the tears already bahahahaha, enjoyyyyy your last season on top.

Salah's purple patch is over, the age is starting to kick in. Aubameyang arc.

Spoiler:
I don't think we're signing Pedro, but he's very clearly a UCL caliber footballer. I'm also uncertain about Ekitike, but I feel like we have a big signing at the #9 position that will be announced sooner rather than later and I can't wait to learn who it is.

I watched this guy go to the Emirates and drag Partey and Rice around on a leash. That combination of physicality, demeanor and technique is top

Would be dynamic playing behind Ekitkie with world class creators like Palmer/Estevao/Fernandez pulling the strings.

Quite comical considering my club will be lifting the PL trophy Sunday.

By the way, can you image if Chelsea fail to beat Nottingham Forest? How many years would that make it without CL?

Whether we get UCL or not, this is your last season finishing ahead of us.

The ONLY chance you have is by signing an inter-generational player, that being Florian Wirtz.

Lose / lose for me seeing him go to you or Bayern. Two despicable clubs.

Why are you showing an Inter Milan badge and not a Chelsea one? Is that just the club you're cheering for in the CL final?

Yes, although I'd be happy to see PSG win as well. I like a lot of their players.

Without even diving into the market, we have the best non-PSG midfielder in the league, Andrey Santos coming back to us on loan. 21 year old Arturo Vidal regen.

And the best keeper in ligue 1.

Also our own Dean Huijsen. 1.95 m ball playing savant.

Enjoy signing Delap and Kerkez, bro.

I disagree Wirtz is the ONLY chance. He would certainly help, but there are others who can as well.

You may recall the Bellingham fiasco. Liverpool proceeded to save the summer before, telling fans it was to be used for him the following year. Only Bellingham chose Real Madrid. Funny thing happened, though. The club pivoted, that money covered the current midfield of Gravenberch, Mac Allister, and Szoboszlai.

Very true. It's going to be an interesting summer. I almost don't even want to follow it. I'll just show up for pre-season and see what the squad looks like.

Enough winning the transfer window every year and it not translating results onto the pitch.

There are no links to Delap. And I'd rather have Kerkez over Chelsea's left back, Cucurella.

Kerkez is the diet Cucurella lol.

Worse in possession, worse 1v1 defender, worse anticipation, worse inverting into central areas.

The only thing he brings is a relentless motor and the fact that he's constantly overlapping like Sonic.

Very disrespectful for you to attempt to ledger him into Cucurella (the best LB itl) convos.

We can't go into next season with Neto and Madueke starting, ideally they can both get sold.

Get me Joao Pedro in the door, get me Ekitike or Sesko in the 9, get me Yildiz, Nico Williams or Simons to play on the flank.

Rebuild this entire attack, it's rotten.

Can't believe CFC fans are turning their noses up at Pedro after seeing how muted we are between the lines.

Pedro has maverick potential. Grabs the game by the scruff of its neck. Drives your team up the pitch and contributes with goals and assists. Foul magnet. Still only 23 as well, huge upside.

We can't just play with long passers and creators in the middle of the pitch, Pedro brings a central dynamic quality we've lacked since Hazard.

Fabrizio is saying we want to sign a winger as priority and since City's ex-academy youth recruiter Joe Shields runs the club I'd expect it to be down to two names:

Jamie Bynoe-Gittens: Borussia Dortmund, ex City & Morgan Rogers: Aston Villa, ex-City.

LOL... two weeks ago you were cooling on Delap, and even made a joke to me about Liverpool having to settle for him.

Today, stormi is trying to convince himself Delap will be the "closest thing to Drogba" as one of those tweets says.
