pfff.... that start to the season will give hazard, mata and ramires time to flex their muscles and get their attacking juices going. plus Robbie Dimatteo still has the momentum of the champions league

hooray, no more players leaving us to go to AFCON anymore!

chelsea will be a bit tight making the 8 man homegrown quota wont they

cashley, lampard, terry, sturridge, cahill, bertrand, mikel?

hazard, lukaku, van de bruyne and courtois will all be 21 or under and dont need to be registered, but 3 of them will likely be on loan. i suppose they'll just do what we did and fill the remaining spots with academy kids.

I was about to say there's no way that Curtois is under 21, but turns out he is. Fucking hell. He was getting regular first team football at 17.

does piazon work? because i think he might start seeing some games this year. either him or patrick bamford

we have a good number of youth but all we keep doing is letting them rot in the reserves or ship them overseas

Don't think we filled it up last year. Just gonna have to roll with two less spots I guess.

yeah piazon's only 18/19 i think so he works. some of them will get sent on loan (obviously)

forgot the mighty ROSS TURNBULL too.

How could you? Only Grandpa Chalkias is better than him.

I think De Bruyne will be loaned out. Heard rumours about him to Southampton. Lukaku may be loaned out, but only at the end of the window, because Sturridge will most likely be at the Olympics, so we need cover for Torres. Courtois will be back at Atletico. McEachran probably will be loaned out at the start. I'd like for him, De Bruyne and Lukaku all be loaned out to the same Premier League club. Would let them get familiar with each other.

Piazon should be around next season. I expect he'll get a few games here and there.

We still have Hilario, redeadening. And we will lose a player to the African Cup of Nations:



And fake Essien.
