    The Chelsea manager (for how long ?) what a state that club is in the owner might not build the new stadium, transfer imbargo, then to top it all the goaly humiliates the manager, the goalkeeper ready to come on saved 3 pens for Man city 2 years ago in the league cup final !. Player power eh. they moved down out of the top 4, Oh the crowd trouble as well !. Mind they don't really know what suffering is like us Sunderland supporters but hey who wants to be part of that overpaid premier league lark.

    Pulisic to the rescue?

    What's he going to do, manage the team? Lift the embargo? Get Hazard to stay?

    Just because he's one of yours doesn't mean he's going to fix anything does it.

    The fact that it will take him a year to get physically ready for the Prem doesn’t help either, more meat on a vegan sausage roll.

    He's not going to be able to lace Hazards boots when he inevitably leaves at the end of the season. And that will be the expectation given the price tag.

    Chelsea's house is firmly on its way crashing down.

    Just a warm body through an otherwise closed door. But he'll likely attract a lot of interest from folks curious to see how he gets on.

    Pulisic is a talent mind, a really top player potentially.

    It won’t be immediate, or he will start great fade then come back, you simply can’t replace Hazard he’s a sensational player, too 5 in world.

    Pulisic will grow in time, he’s got the raw attributes, he’s likely to be the best the USA have produced after a couple years in the Prem, he loves the ball, like Hazard, he will need to bulk up and work on his decision making.

    No Hazard and Willian next year, even Pedro you’d imagine heads back to Spain, rough season for Chelsea next year I’d think, far worse than this one.

    Bang in the **** mate, they simply have to sell Hazard or they let him walk in January, the team is ageing, and there’s a real lack of quality in there.

    Talking about giving it to Zidane but he wants £200million? That doesn’t make a dent on what City and United can do. Spurs do it the right way, and Liverpool need only some depth.

    They are miles off, and losing the best player in the league is only going to see them fall further.

    I've not seen much of him to be honest. Clearly highly rated though as you say.

    I'd be incredibly surprised if anyone high profile like Zidane takes it due to the transfer embargo. Anyone with any kind of prestige will want to spend money and buy their own squad. Instead they're lumbered with ageing players and ones who have been out on loan for years.

    Serves them right for their ridiculous transfer strategy over the years.

    The pathetic thing about the bans are they are set so you can appeal, and that opens up the next window, miss the 2 after.

    Whoever takes the Chelsea job therefore will indeed get the summer window, I think Athletico and Barca both did this.

    UEFA are spineless when it comes to the big clubs, they would never totally shut down a cash cow.

    My heart bleeds for those fans who've stuck through it with Chelsea since they were founded in 2003!! Struggling to maintain a top 6 place in the Prem whilst we are comfortably playing in league one! Must be a nightmare for them and their fans who didn't know the club existed before Abramovich!!

    (Not a dig at you Nads - just Chelsea)

    Ridiculous again - didn't know that.

    What's the point in charging them if they're not going to enforce anything?

    Hey come on now Chelsea have spent about 50 billion quid on players have about 5 prem titles league and fa cups and the champions league so don't feel too sorry for them. No team will ever achieve what we achieved in 1973, or wimbledon for that matter very average teams but grafters not over paid players. I would like to see Swansea vs Wolves cup final.
