    It must've been the Chelsea board in my opinion.

    I was stunned when they agreed to sell Cech to us. There's clearly a hierarchy at Chelsea that means the manager does not have the final say in transfers.

    It's the 2015/16 season all over again for Chelsea in my opinion.

    No Costa and no Matic are going to leave a massive hole in Chelsea's team.

    I think they'll miss both players, Depends who you think they'll miss more to be honest.

    They've signed Bakayoko, so he could go some way to filling Matic's role. But selling Matic to Utd was ****ing stupid.

    Costa is going to be a much bigger miss. Morata is a different type of player altogether, and I do not think he's going to have half as much impact as Costa did.

    Agree with both of these.
    Matic was becoming surplus, not sad we sold him, just annoyed that it was to United.
    Costa.....from the very first game he was a beast, he hit the ground running in the PL. He scored like 9 goals in his first 7 games for Chelsea.
    Will be hard to replicate that, and I cannot see Morata having as big an impact, at least not right away anyway.

    I wonder when Conte is going to give some of this promising Chelsea youth a chance.

    I can see why they sold Matic tbh.

    Kante is number 1 in that role and I always thought playing both wasn't needed. With Bakayoko it will have much more balance imo.

    I don't think Bodanki has that sort of influence and CFCFFP has been on holiday/prison for months.
