Werner’s very last touch in a Leipzig shirt was a goal, his second today. Decent finish as well, annoying they they’ve got a proper quality striker again there.

Apparently they’ve bid £75m for Havertz.

Looks like this one has legs

Personally I am getting a bit annoyed that every player I have wanted us to sign over last 18 months or so has ended up at Chelsea

Pulisic, Ziyech, Werner and now Havertz

They're making a massive statement and are going to take advantage of the COVID crisis to flex their financial clout to effectively put us, Arsenal and any other top 4 pretender firmly back in our places.

I'm sure there may be some FFP implications down the line they will have to overcome by hook or by crook, but how refreshing to see a club massively back an unproven manager in the market with a squad rebuild.

They're going to have quite a front 6 - Kante, Jorginho, Havertz, Pulisic, Werner, Ziyech. Players like Mount, Abraham, Kovacic, Barkley, Hudson Odoi on the bench.

Defense is still pretty crap but they might be able to score enough goals that it doesn't matter.

It's like Ossie's Famous Five on roids. Hope their defence turns out just as bad as ours did.

They will challenge for the league next season. If havertz gets in and they address the defense I think they may even win it that frontline is terrifying.

The only way Havertz happens is if they get rid of a lot of players. You forgot Giroud and Bats for starters, Loftus Cheek!

I expect they will try and sell Bats, Barkley, Jorginho and remember Drinkwater and Bakayoko still have 2 years left.

Ridiculous number of players, but no doubt they will get away with FFP.

And yet if you were to venture into Spurs Chat you'd see some claiming our front is superior to Chelsea's.

Don't think its dawned on some in our fan base that Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea have left us far behind.

Completely agree, the team is not the Poch team from 2 years ago, despite having plenty of the same players. Their WF, DM and defence are far superior to ours.

I think currently it is or is close, but their signings likely take them to another level

I don't think so because last summer they sold Hazard and didn't buy anyone. So they probably have money to spend

That is something that Chelsea fans keep saying but of course they made Kovacic permanent, so that's 40/50m done.

Story out there already that if Hammers stay up Barkley goes there. No future whatsoever for Batshuai now, Giroud goes after next season.

Especially as we’ve been linked with signing all of them over the last 3/4 years

And we've also been previously linked with the ones they will want to get rid of. Giroud, Bats, Barklay anyone? Not again please!

remember when the word on the street was that Chelski were a big mess - when you read this it becomes v clear they are going to be miles ahead of us once again....gutting


Chelsea were never a mess. Our ITK told us about Chelsea to appease us. Nothing more than that. Even I think the running of their club is much more better than spurs. Specially, look at the youths they are producing. Among top 6 clubs, utd and spurs are worst running footballing side I think
