@tim_rolls Life is (good) busy! Sadly, I'm still battling this perpetual disconnect from the club. Desperate to feel a connection again; but I fear we've just become a very average PL club with zero standards. I feel like I've been watching the Emperor's New Clothes for nearly five years.
Playing once a week, nearly 4½ years under this ownership, roughly £2bn spent, and this is the performance we deliver. It doesn't look or feel anything like a Chelsea side.
Really, really need to keep persisting with Josh. Night and day difference to last season. He's got all the potential in the world. Kept Grealish and George v. quiet. Confidence is growing in possession out wide. In time, he's going to be special.
I honestly think we've been having this narrative about attitude, mentality, experience, whatever, for 24 months now, when the reality is that most of the squad is just not that good.
@SonOfChelsea We could literally sign a regen of Messi at this point, and I'd still be dubious until they've kicked some substantial ball for us. Of all the positions to target, that would not have been on my bucket list.
@Khaya__ Bring him here. Would absolutely kill to see someone (his size!) carrying the ball at pace and actually trying to do something other than pass back to his full-back.
