From all accounts I’ve read he’s off to Barca on a free at the end of this season. Makes sense tbh. Won everything at the club level with Chelsea. Go back to warm weather Spain and play 2-3 years in the rebuild at Barca.

Yeah, sounds like he's off to Barcelona which would be good everybody. He gets to continue at a good level and Chelsea can move on.

Chelsea badly need to upgrade their FB/WB depth. As soon as James and Chilwell went down Tuchel lost all the dynamism on the sides. Alonso and Azpi are slow and just can't offer that threat.

Conte getting outcoached yet again

You know he regrets the day he finally said yes to Levy.

The new Three Point Lane better try and book some championship fights for the summer

This. The Lukaku antagonism didn’t help Tuchel either. James’s injury has been most damaging.

Zouma getting positive support

Most people showing this energy now.

Tottenham are a cursed club.

I was really surprised Tuchel didn’t go for Digne when Everton was looking to offload him. Apparently Tuchel did’t want to bring in another starter over Chillwell.

Summer should be interesting once Tuchel can make his own signings. I feel Lukaku was a panic buy from the board.

Kurt Zouma apparently “injured” himself during the warm up.

One journo who reportedly has inside links said they didn't go for Digne because they didn't think he moved the needle enough. The title race was already lost after a horrid December so makes sense they wouldn't panic buy.

But the real issue is Chelsea buy terribly. For every decent transfer there are 5 bad ones. Something has to change with how they identify and scout players.

Look at Rashford and McTominay


It’s Pogbas and Alex’s fault

We really let Leicester ship 4 goals past us?
