Please can everyone stop banging on about who is signing next. A billion quid has been chucked at this team since the yanks arrived, but the paint is still wet. An identity of sorts is beginning to show, but that will take a step back the way of CG leaves (imo) . Jackson is so much better than he was 35 games ago, I think Caicedo will be brilliant for Chelsea. Madueke is the first player probably since Willian or Hazard who goes by his marker which panics teams. His maturity when he layed off to Jackson last weekend was a pleasant surprise and showed maturity that was missing only a month ago. Getting a turn out of Cucu, with the RB a revelation as he challenges James. Lots to love, give it a chance.

Sorry Ed, I have to disagree. If CG moves to Real Madrid (for instance) I see that as a move for prestige, money, glory. But to move from Chelsea to Spurs it is for one reason only, money. Imo, Chelsea are deliberately coming up short on his offered contract to sell him and find the reported £104m to stay within FFP and ultimately the league. They are in that position because of wretched purchases and huge salaries given away to below par players. Why not flog Sterling, Chillwell, and James? Btw they may very well be trying to do that, but that is not an easy sell. Particularly Sterling who is reported to be on £300k a week.

I’ve never known a big club to sell polished jewels like Chelsea. It really is a blemish. CG was a diamond in the rough. Steaming about the park without any thot for positional sense, making rash challenges and misplacing simple passes. Yet Chelsea saw something, they loaned him, brought him in and out of the first XI, flushed out all those mistakes until they had made an accomplished top end combative PL midfielder and an international footballer. Now they won’t pay the lad the going rate, whereas Spurs will? Not Real Madrid, or Barca, but Spurs? Jeez. Not having it. Get him paid, and let the fans enjoy 10 years + of a Chelsea product brilliantly captaining the team. Or has everyone forgot the name John Terry.
{Ed002's Note - He won't sign a new contract. It is hardly the fault of Chelsea.}

Correct EdW. Caicedo was excellent absolutely excellent. Chelsea have been crying out for this type of player for years, he just keeps the tempo so effectively, just ticks it along makes it look easy, just brilliant, so please for him. Chelsea were literally purring. and Surely to goodness Chelsea can and will keep CG? I mean seriously? Who can possibly be sitting in the stands and want to flog this lad for what? £55m? Maybe £65m, Chelsea will never replace him for that dosh. Come on Chelsea work harder and shift the deadwood not the future.

Thiago Silva. An utterly brilliant footballer. So glad he got his CL and WC medals with Chelsea FC. All the very best Thiago.
