Who are you actually talking to? Or are you just speaking out loud? I ask that, because nobody at all on here has done anything of the things you mentioned. Nobody is asking for just anybody, nobody is asking for a 100m spent on the best defender on earth. The simple fact of the matter is that we have precisely ZERO fit and available senior centre backs as of this moment. And for a club that are looking to retain the title and gave Champions League to contend with, it’s very silly to dismiss fans who are asking for re-enforcements. Nat Phillips was somebody the club were looking to send to the championship this season & Reece Willians was playing for Harrogate last season. They are playing now out of pure necessity, not because we had some long term play for either. Now, Reece Williams may have been in and around the cup games but that’s about it. Not wanting to see either playing huge games in the league and champions league isn’t a ridiculous mentality to have. And I’ll end by saying that if either young lads play well, I’ll give them the compliments they deserve.

Don’t care who he is, that youth player shit the bed there. I’d be blasting it right back at him. And I don’t want the horrible cunt.

Didn’t know about his ACL.

If that’s the case, then no I wouldn’t want to jeopardise any move that may be lined up. But what about Garay? He’s 34, fair enough, but he would definitely take a six month contract to get us through if we are just looking for a stop gap signings. I know a certain somebody is screaming constantly for the youth to be given a chance, and whilst I am all for youth players being developed, there is just far too much at stake this season for us to rely on them. Let them play in the FA Cup tonight by all means, but I don’t want a situation where Reece Williams is starting a ton of big games.

It entirely depends on what sort of budget we have. If it’s less than £20m then it’ll be difficult, but there’s quality to be found. From the way Klopp has been speaking, it sounds like it’ll only be a stop gap until the end of the season. So the question is.....who’s a better defender out of Sokratis & Mustafi?

I’d say Mustafi has had a shocking number of years and it’s not fair to bring him up as a suggestion to the people who think we need a defender.

I like the look of that Bissouma from Brighton, he would be a good one to look at for us as he is good at holding the ball and has a creative eye to go with. Be a nice replacement for Gini’s position. Shame that Gini won’t re-sign, but considering how vital he has been for us over the years I don’t think it’s unreasonable for him to want wages that reflect that importance. I really hope the club aren’t undervaluing him in the contract offer, because that’s what it seems like from the stalemate both have been in. He deserves one great last contract with us, after all he has done on relatively low wages for his stature in the squad.

The woman who got shot has died.

Yeah that was madness, even though I was obviously enjoying it. Giroud up top to hold the ball and have Werner just off him ready to sprint in behind from through balls. But no, you stick a 19 year old lad up top, and expect him to get past our defence on his own?

I’m failing to see a hint of any certain style of play that Lampard is meant to be bringing to this Chelsea team. Granted, I don’t watch them anywhere near as much as anybody here but when I do watch ive seen two or three different approaches per game. Starting with Werner up front, hitting balls in behind the defence for him then switched up to Giroud and Chilwell just banging crosses into him. Werner is good enough to have an impact every game, same goes for Havertz. Lampard doesn’t know what he’s doing and it’s the individual brilliant of the players that have gotten him this far, I just don’t rate him at all.

That was my favourite line in the film, brilliant

I’m sorry if you’ve been asked this before, but what is your opinion of Kabak? @SchalkeUK ?

Pixar’s Soul - 9/10 Weird, but fantastic effort. The animation is another level, and I loved the world building in it. There is a great message in there too, which is quite powerful.

Merry Christmas Phil

I was under the impression he had finally found his feet at Lille?

I’d take the deal, but I though Kabak was going to Milan?

Sterling isn’t exactly in great form either though. For our team, I wouldn’t swap any of them personally.

Well I dunno about him being a luxury, but he certainly isn’t displacing any of our front three right now.

I mean...he wouldn’t to be fair

We need a centre back in the upcoming window. It’s all rosey when Matip & Fab can play together, but as we are seeing, Matip is far too injury prone to rely on for the rest of the season. Keita is getting on my last nerve with his injury’s as well. Back one game and then injured again sums up his time here. If he isn’t going to be on the pitch regularly, then cash in.

I agree.

Jota out for 2 months. Just fuck off.

Not even being able to draw the line in the correct place

I wish the club had been more up front with the severity of his injury instead of saying on numerous occasions “he’s not quite ready”.

I’m not asking for a numbered margin of error. I’m talking about looking at a replay and being able to say “he’s clearly offside” without using a tape measure. Nobody here thought it was offside when we saw the replay. Let the video assistant look at the footage and if there is a CLEAR & OBVIOUS error being made by the on field referee, then you intervene.
