Great content all summer, thanks to all of you, really appreciate the work.

Transfer season is over but looks like Boehly is still after Alvarez for January, makes me think one of Jorginho or Kante will leave mid-season.

The team here are legends, really happy I stumbled upon you lot. Super interactive on many different platforms, respectful and insightful. First thing I do each morning is look at the Substack for the daily round up of CFC news!

Keep it up, but also enjoy a bit of a break 😉

Hey Dan and Si, first of all great job this window as per you guys proving everyone wrong, second any idea you two know who this mysterious player we bidded on that Romano hinted at?

Si Phillips's avatar

Thanks mate! Rom says it was Lavia. Not heard anything on that personally.

Zakaria to be a Kovacic 2.0

Jay Sibbo's avatar

Anyone know when Zakaria will be expected in england? Was hoping he would feature against west ham as it will be a physical game and thats what we lack atm!

Raymond Chen's avatar

Atm defo not for West Ham, work permit still needs to be sorted, hopes for Tuesdays game I believe

Well done Si Dan Ben & all for the work this window, truly great effort, so far this community is respectful even when not agreeing which is refreshing

As for this window, its a 7 from me, after a shaky start and the Kounde Barca dance around some sound quality in, Rome was not built in a day, this window does not fix everything for sure sorting some of the squad out the door was key for me, still some work to do on that.

Who ever coined the Saul 2.0 quote made me laugh, only time will tell for Zakaria, to be balanced the Bundesliga is no EPL, if he plays DM the physical aspect will be a whole different ball game, I suspect this is just a holding player until a future window, well my hope has always been for Rice (we have Hall coming through, will he ever get a run who knows)

Auba is a good signing, like all 9's he will want the world to revolve around him, lets hope he sees TT as his daddy

Never a dull day being Chelse season 56 for me, #UTB

Great work this summer Si ! Just wondering is aubameyangs jaw actually broken ?

Si Phillips's avatar

Thanks mate! He's having a mask fitted so seems so!

Roger's avatar

Well done Si & company - a fantastic window for you and thanks so much for sharing , lots of highs and lows and "why are they doing that ?" . Sad about Gilmour but I can understand why. Going to be interesting to see if Pulisic and Ziyech man-up or just sulk their time away. Again thanks for sharing & have some time off (but not too much !)

Si Phillips's avatar

Thank you Roger!

congratulations for all the work this summer, their might be some interesting news today as fabrizio said chelsea bidded 50 million for a midfielder and he said no one would guess it correctly i don't know if you had news about that or we just wait and see what fabrizio says about it and how quickly you know bohely will appoint a director of football.

Si Phillips's avatar

Yeah will start looking into those things from Sunday mate. No idea who the MID is!

Rasmus's avatar

You've done a brilliant job this summer Si! I'm looking forward to whats about to come!

Sam Wightwick's avatar

Reading all of your lunchtime articles has become part of my lunch break routine now! Really looking forward to where you guys take this next, the skies the limit with how hard you guys work!

Si Phillips's avatar

Aha I love that mate! Seems releasing them at that time was a wise decision! Thank you!
