Juventus and Chelsea have agreed on an 18-month loan for Gonzalo Higuain, with a buy-option added for 2020.

I've wanted to see what Higuain would be like in the Prem for a while now. Good signing for you guys - though how old will he be in 2020??

[Melchett1905]

Looks like everything is in place for him to come to Chelsea. If it's done in the next 24hrs or so we could see him against Arsenal on Sat.

Atletico Madrid are in advanced talks to sign Chelsea's Spain striker Alvaro Morata, 26, who is valued at £45m.

Have they got the decimal point in the wrong place............

That's the going rate for a non-scoring forward apparently. Christ, we'll get a fortune for Vincent Jansen

We should sell him to Liverpool, Klopp has done a decent job with that other bang average Dutch player VDD.

This has the feeling of Spurs away. Passing in inappropriate positions and being overrun, by Arsenal for fks sake.

Another Sarri masterclass.

Utter dogst. Amazing that the manager can’t see the problems that literally every body else can and play the players in their correct positions.

[dsmith1990]

Looking forward to making no subs at HT when it's obvious who should be on the pitch.

Just repeating ourselves every sodding week.

I'm calling the post-match press conference now - he doesn't understand why we couldn't create chances

[Sparkyhd]

Yet some fans seem happy with Sarri. I thought i was losing interest in football but after watching Spurs Utd last week I realise it's just Sarri ball I'm completely bored of, to the extent I'm selling my tickets each week on the exchange.

Remember when Kante was the best DM in the world.

Beginning to join you, Sparky. There is no plan B whatsoever. I was desperate for Giroud to come and when he did, we continued to aimlessly pass around the area and take too many touches rather than get it into him. Bloody joke.

Never mind plan B, I'm not really sure what feckin' plan A is (nor do the players !!)

[Sparkyhd]

Let's hope Roman hasn't gone soft.

Sarri said in the press conference "It would appear these players are difficult to motivate."

Surely a manager whose primary function is motivation should be immediately sacked for such a remark?

He still might be. We don't know because that fking idiot is playing him somewhere else.

Who knows what goes on behind closed doors but it was certainly clear last night from the off Arsenal had the desire, work rate and physicality and we didn't. It was similar to Spurs in the league game, we just lacked that steel. We lack a Terry, Essien, Drogba in the spine and it shows.

No physical presence up front and non in the centre of midfield.

The ref was pretty st too - but that's no excuse.
