All the Real players that you mention were already established when they were bought. Isco is yet to prove himself beyond Real. Kante is a match winner. Conte knows how to defend and Kante will be to Chelsea like Makelele was to Real.

What's the difference between Isco and Ozil then? Ozil only had 101 first team appearances for Werder Bremen and Schalke when he signed for Real...
And 'Match winner' is not the term for a player like Kante, otherwise any player on the field that helps you win can be called one.

I've never been around for a "surprise" big late window signing, as I wasn't around for the VDV transfer. Lloris would maybe have qualified, but I don't think that was a surprise.

I'm left really wanting Isco, in this instance. Just so I can have that feeling. You know, the one where you're like "ooooh my god!" and then "ah well I have to clean up" and then "it was totally worth it".

Well congratulations buddy, because by the end of tomorrow you still won't have been around for one!

Seems like real trying to force Isco out which is probably our only chance. But just know something stupid like his old club Malaga will get him. Just don't see how with Wembley and champs league this year we can't attract players

At this point, it'll probably be in 30 minutes for a 9pm british time announcement. We've announced 2 things this late in a day in the past. The arrivals of Eric Dier and Victor Wanyama. So I expect it to be the arrival of GKN or Lopez.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'd be thrilled if we announced our new loaned third-choice keeper before tomorrow.

remember when we got thrashed by Dortmund in the EL and we thought - it's okay when we are in the CL next year we will have an improved squad, it's good to test ourselves against tougher opponents. Well here we are now with an even weaker squad in the CL

Yep that, another right back and a blue and yellow cabbage and that's me done until the winter transfer window!

I remember us deliberately putting out a weakend team against the second best team in the Bundesliga and once again treating the competition in an arrogant and disrespectful manner. Our defeat had nothing to do with our squad and everything to do with our attitude.
