Is sterling much better than Lukaku and Werner? Broja I'm not seeing the hype over. He's a workhorse and that's all I've seen.
The midfield is still reliant on 2 people being fit all year; kovacic and maybe kante. The balance is completely off otherwise. Gallagher I'm not concerned about as he won't be afforded as such possession as he got at palace, nor will he maraud forward as much.
I don't think they'll do it either. But I'd be surprised if they weren't in touching distance of 2nd by april
Well he's a wasteful little cunt but he scored more than both of them combined last season anyway
Spurs will finish 3rd and Conte will move on after this season.
More chance of us re-signing Rickie Lambert who will score in the 93rd minute of the final league game of the season to clinch the title ahead of our city rivals Everton.
This.
Both Sterling and Rahem have only played in attach minded teams - don’t think either of them will enjoy Chelsea’s defensive style.
No, it's completely insane. He's a decent player, nothing more, and they were taken to the cleaners.
Though... there must be something about him because he annoyed me last season.

Classic statement signing.
When even Man City is put off by the price, that should tell you something. But they went ahead just to show they're still in the Big Boys Club. £55m, when they have another £50m starting left back on the books.
Brillant by Brighton though. I love the way they're playing this. White, Bissouma, and now Cucurella all sold for super profits and their team is hardly affected.
Their owner Tony Bloom is a former top rank poker player. He hasn't been doing that for a good few years now, but you can imagine such a skillset coming in handy.
The "problem" with making these big profits on transfers is that other clubs are well aware of how much you have to spend, so they'll ask for more.
Obviously, that's kind of a good problem to have.
Great work by Brighton getting top dollar. But losing Bissouma and Cucurella is a massive hit to their season depending on how they replace them.
They’ve lost two of their best players.
They've "replaced" Cucurella with a loanee from Chelsea.

Colwill? He’s a centre back
Yeah, but he can play on the left too apparently.
It's like when they got Ighalo. Proper panic stations
Didn't we ever dodge a bullet there. I'm by no means always right about transfers but I was never convinced he'd be suited here when we were being linked with him.
Actually, was listening to the radio, and Brighton seem to have actually prepared themselves well for this situation now and the future. They have some connections in South America, and have been looking at young talent who they think could be potential replacements for those that they may lose . So they had this kid 18 year old they they got out on loan to a European club, in the hope that he would slot into Bissouma role after he left. Seems to have worked well for the. Based on weekend evidence.
