Evening all. I’m searching for tickets. Either august 13 or 27 . I think those dates are good for home games.One adult one child as a minimum. This is for a dear friend from overseas who is a passionate Chelsea fan and wants to take his 10 yo son. He’s my brother from another mother so to speak. Any help or suggestions would be most appreciated. I’ll pay for the tickets for them as it’s probably a once in a lifetime event for the young boy.

I don't think they are on sale yet, keep an eye on the website for the dates.

Ok thanks

Sterling being signed? Why??

To score goals, something we've missed for a while. 131 goals in 339 games for City is a good return.

[stuartmmcfc]

You’ve signed a gem there. He’s a confirdence player and anyone who’s not in form doesn’t get a chance in the City team.
I’ll miss him

[smn159]

I like him - think he could do very well

The CR rumours seem to have died off.

That's a relief

[trackdemon]

Done deal. £50m @ 27 years old, should be in his prime and has a ton of experience. I think this could prove to be one of our better value for money transfers... assuming he's not another one to magically lose form as soon as he dons a blue shirt!

Tbf his form, although a bit patchy, has always been good when he pulled on a blue shirt

[TwigtheWonderkid]

We really need a consistent top class finisher. Having bought RS, that hasn't changed.

Agreed.

Shame Lewandowski wants to pull on a tainted Barca shirt.

Whats peoples view on defensive buys.

Ake i liked when he was with us before, he fills a bit of an Alonso role but not sure he's good enough up the wing.

Koulibaly is 31 and played in Serie A that's soft at best of times so concerns me a bit.

[Leicester Loyal]

Do you think you'll let Levi Colwill go now you're signing about 3 CBs? Would definitely take him at LCFC.

Silva did OK. Does smack a bit of short term planning though.

Amazing how Chelsea keep getting this wrong, given the resources. What, 6 years since Costa scored 20? Since then top scorers Abraham, Jorginho, Mount. Citeh & Liverpool have been getting an easy ride from you.

“Kept” not “ keep”, fingers crossed.. The change in ownership will, I hope, mean the coach plays the pivotal role in who we sign ( or at least has a say ) , rather then the ownership group as before.

It seems Tuchel’s style is not to have a single target man which is why Sterling could be a decent buy.

Looks like the new Chelsea owner is following the Spurs owner playbook.

Have you signed anyone yet? All I see is people leaving and an American owner following a Man U playbook

This not aged so well has it Best to wait before taking too much of the piss.
Cucurella done tomorrow I think we're going to get Fofana too and adding De Jong would be a proper 10/10 window.
Loads of investment in top young players as well, it's very much what Boehly did in LA

[mattyn1]

I am quite impressed at the names so far.
I still have a hankering for CR7 to sign, though not seen any news today for updates on that saga!

[Wadeski]

Indeed. Look at his behaviour pre season for Man U!
