Hendo Tbf, when you say top tier striker coming over to the UK and failing, it is hard to look past Shevchenko.
127 goals in 208 for AC Milan
9 goals in 48 for Chelsea
If you're just looking at Chelsea, there's also Mutu, Kezman and Torres.

Ascotexgunner Spent 230 million pounds so far and now talking about going above 300 mill......how the hell does that get through FFP? They don't make that kind of money.
Feel sorry for the youngsters, thought they have made it in the first team and then finding themselves back on the bench or out on loan.

Yep, it is arguable that Chelsea's transfer ban is giving them a bit of an unfair advantage this time round - they were unable to spend in normal times and as a result are pretty much the only top level club with huge amounts of disposable income this time round. Pressure will be on Lampard to deliver though given what they have spent - needs a tilt at the title this year I would suggest.

Quite fancy them in the Champions League, think the players they have will be able to hit the ground running with the slower pace that they are used to. Bet their odds are decent for winning the Champions League, will stick a few quid on.

20/1 is an awesome price when you consider their squad.

Same price as Man Utd, which does seem a bit odd. I’d certainly back Chelsea over Utd, although I think both still come unstuck with their defensive issues and I guess it only takes one calamitous game in the knockout stages for it to be over.
Juve at 14s are pretty good value, imo.

Not to be ageist or anything the Juve squad age concerns me a bit in terms of playing a league match then a Champions League match in quick succession. Can Ronaldo keep going the way he has been? Surely at some point father time will catch up with him.

Chelsea won’t win the PL or Champions league with Kepa in goal, fact
As far as I’m aware, he’s still their main goalie, if they get that sorted and perhaps one more CB, they have a shot at it
Suppose Silva could be the answer alongside Rudiger but Tomori, Zouma and Christensen aren’t good enough

Remember that De Gea came good in the end. I don't see the same level of potential in Kepa but you never know. Being very young and being the most expensive goalkeeper in world football is a huge pressure. Think he needs to grow up a bit a fill out, gain some muslce and go from there. They are still after a goalkeeper too, the Rennes keeper Edouard Mendy.

Silver Fox Rudiger is an appalling defender too, whoever they get in goal will be hard pushed to cover for him
