@Chels_HQ @talkSPORT That would make sense if we were buying them cheap, but we overpay on pretty much every transfer. Who's giving us our money back for Gittens, Garnacho, Jorgensen, Fofana, etc?

I don't think that's their plan, the problem is whatever plan they do have is clearly shit.

@NoContextBrits Gotta use toothpicks. Rookie mistake, you hate to see it.

[Jon Cooper @Jon_DC91]

@JodyMorris Fancy a job on Sunday? Please? 😂

[Jon Cooper @Jon_DC91]

@chelseayouth True. You almost need them to get a monopoly so at least all of the games are in one place. It's definitely not a fan-friendly model at the moment.

[Jon Cooper @Jon_DC91]

@CarefreeYouth Where would you see Barco playing for us? LB or CM? He reminds me a bit of Billy G, but that might just be his build.

[Jon Cooper @Jon_DC91]

@CarefreeYouth The sell-on fee is probably the only saving grace.

[Jon Cooper @Jon_DC91]

@CarefreeYouth Think we'll see Enzo/maybe even Santos in the 10 a lot more often too. Don't think Palmer will play back to back games very often for the rest of the season.

[Jon Cooper @Jon_DC91]

@OllieGlanvill I think it's more in keeping with the spirit of the law than what we have now. Feel like we'd get a lot more goals, but be interesting to see how strikers and CBs changed their approach.

[Jon Cooper @Jon_DC91]

@CarefreeYouth @journalism_rp It would be good for the match day experience I guess, but it depends a bit on the position. Shim would be good, Derry has probably earned it, RKM would be cool after his contract signing - but Gittens/Guiu/Steve probably need a full 90, and Garnacho hasn't played much either.

[Jon Cooper @Jon_DC91]

@CarefreeYouth @journalism_rp Another problem is most of our second-string men's squad needs minutes too, and a lot of them are U21.
Guiu, 20
Gittens, 21
Estevao, 18,
Santos, 21
Essugo, 20,
Josh, 19
Hato, 19

Wouldn't be surprised if they all feature, and we probably want experience on the bench just in case.

[Jon Cooper @Jon_DC91]

@ChrisGagg Probably on par with a few of our CBs on the ball tbf 😂

[Jon Cooper @Jon_DC91]

@_JoeAlexanderr Wrong system or wrong players in the system. James, Chilly, Alonso, Cole, were/are all very good finishers.

[Jon Cooper @Jon_DC91]

@FaceValueCFC Every fanbase would do it, they're just the only ones who do it with a holier than thou attitude.

[Jon Cooper @Jon_DC91]

@1JamesCHELSEA Still think he should have come in after Tuchel/Potter. Say what you want about his tactics, but he knows how to build a spine and build that us against the world mentality.

[Jon Cooper @Jon_DC91]

@Jai_Mcintosh In terms of quality, no. But he couldn't stay fit here for whatever reason. It was a good move for him and RLC in that sense.

[Jon Cooper @Jon_DC91]

@JimboSlice8511 @terryflewers Except the PGMOL said he was sent off for DOGSO, not serious foul play. If it was for the high challenge, he'd have had a three game ban instead.

[Jon Cooper @Jon_DC91]

@1JamesCHELSEA You're right, but that was a very Sanchez-like goal to concede. Complete with awkward stumble 😂

[Jon Cooper @Jon_DC91]

@TavernFootball Gianfranco Zola

[Jon Cooper @Jon_DC91]

@_JoeAlexanderr They expected to find a buyer I guess. We bought two strikers to replace him, it's only an issue now because one got injured. If Delap was fit and Jackson had gone on Saturday would people still be expecting a third striker to come in? All the noise was about Xavi and Lopez.
