    The fact you can’t even attempt to replace him causes you a major issue for the upcoming season though.

    He was your primary match winner, and without him I can see you sliding back into the chasing pack.

    Maybe for a season, maybe not. We'll see
    As I say, we need to focus on the team. Our squad is still better than most in PL. It would be a mistake to try to replace him, because we can't.

    You can’t even try, that’s sort of the point mate.

    I think it’ll be an interesting season, United are a mess, Chelsea will be weaker, and for me there’ll be little to choose between the 6-7 sides behind the top 2, who are streets ahead of the rest and will remain so next season.

    No point in trying anyway mate. I'm quite looking forward to the new season tbh. I've known really bad seasons in my time, so this would be nothing.

  6. Sarri and Hazard both gone.

    Loftus Cheek and Hudson both shaping up to be sick-notes.

    Two-window transfer ban.

    I reckon this thread will end up being prescient.

    He’s a cracking player to be fair. Reckon he’ll do well at Chelsea personally.

    Maybe not in the true sense im assuming you are on about obafemi, ings, long (whos who fourth?) Who have all spent significant periods on the wing for your club (maybe not ings as much)

    Can definitely be a cracking player but wouldn't say he is one just yet, quite inconsistent at Dortmund and has been massively outshone by Sancho.

    <laugh> Let's be honest here, if we signed Messi you'd swear he was bang average.
